I get the constrains of the system. they want to have 3-4 sub types for each of the over arching of like rad left, lib, and far right. the box is crowded as fuck as is, and you gotta cut corners and squish some folks into boxes to make things look neater. as much as politics is a special interest of mine and I want like 200 sub groupings of this and that, I know from a gameplay perspective it’s just kind of stupid and implausible.

I appreciate that they really do take ww1 as a clear and cut point of divergence and follow that through. like Marxism Leninism failed, ofc people are going to turn to syndicalism as the premier form of leftism in the western world like it totally fits and all. and there very much were social populist far right with some left flavouring like the Sorelians, the original foundings of Italian fascism, and the Strasserists, it makes sense to sorta take that concept and run with it, and repurpose reactionaries in our like like Mosley and Mussolini into their syndicalist societies. I think they do a good job of it all, I just hate the implication that some of it brings about. like the Jacobins and Sorelians in France just straight up purge one another, they fucking hate eachother, they’re obviously not treated as the same, and yet, it just looks like lib cringe
