HOI4 meme
I swear they put more effort in the anti-communist propaganda system than in the rest of the game combined.

Makes me laugh how they call it paranoia, when there are actually 5 groups trying to start a civil war. The devs kinda failed on that one, as they ended up being like "the purges were horrible, but it would have been much worse without them."
Honestly the obligatory civil war makes playing anything else than historical a massive pain. By the time you finish the civil war and deal with the aftermath, the game is basically already over.
I know the meme about communist infighting, but there really should have been a way in game for Bukharin to get in power legally, while Trotsky could have a coup without a country-wide civil war.

they could have salvaged it if they used the same system but reworked it into a "Coup Risk" or "Counter-revolution" mechanic, but for some reason its one single man's insane paranoia.

Even keeping the entire system and only changing the word “Paranoia” to “Counter-Revolutionary Activity” would have been leagues better and more historical then painting all the events as just Stalin’s “paranoia”. It doesn’t even make any sense in game, because if the “paranoia” gets high, a coup/counter revolution is launched, so why call it “paranoia” if the threat is actually real?
It all could have all been salvaged with the changing of a single word.
