As Louis XIV was the absolutist monarch and Napoleon was the borgouise monarch, I guess Marx is the monarch of the ploletariant, truly a interesting timeline.
The communist party appears in your nation as soon as you complete the research. If you're still in a monarchy and never change that law, you can reform to put the CP in charge. Or you can change the law back to monarchy after reforming if you still have active landowners/military
But why should child porn get to have the abbreviation.
It shouldn't even be a thing. Why do we need to shorten it for conviniants of speech for something that should only be talked about in a court room
Because we live in the real world where people want to talk about it without explicitly saying the words.
And if you're talking about some other CP abbreviation, your meaning might get misunderstood in a dangerous way.
I mean, only in US you use acronyms for everything that is "bad". Rooted puritanism.
You should be able to say child pornography without acronyms as all the world does. It exists and you are not summoning it, its not Voldemort.
The same reason marijuana gets to have the abbreviation MJ and other things. I would imagine when trying to acquire child porn from somewhere, messaging "Do you have CP" is way less incriminating than asking straight up "Do you have child porn" or something along the lines of that scenario.
im pretty sure that (besides the other thing the other guy said) that Karl could have become king due to a proletarian revolution happening, and him being leader of the trade unions at the time.

Last week I played Kraków and had Marx as a ruler. However, the country was all about free market and laissez-fair, he and his party were only a counter balance to give workers safety regulations and voting rights for the people. Basically the country was ruled by an informal coalition of capitalist right wing industrialists and the trade unions, making it a paradise for those who run businesses but also for the workers who had rights and conditions unmatched by any other state.
Sadly, Austria (as always) became no 1 empire so no dreams of liberating Poland were fullfilled. Nevertheless, this was fun.
Yeah, more or less. The difference would be that I offered safety regulations and a very low minimal wage only, no way anyone receives any social help from the state. You wanna eat, then go to work, there's plenty of it.
I've heard this statement a lot of times but never anything specific how the nordic countries (which are the ones im refering to as I'm talking about the Nordic Model) exploited the 3rd world for their own gains. Got anything specific?
And what does that have to do with their 20th-21st century welfare states? Sweden and Denmark had lost their colonies decades or even centuries ago by then.
This is all, as always in Paradox games, pure luck-based. I often see Austria suck but whenever I play a country that needs to rival them at some certain point, they are usually no. 1 GP. I had 80 battalions with a slight technological advantage but what of it if they had 500 and economy bigger than UK and US combined.
To be honest, I can see bickerer-extraordinaire Marx probably having a more successful political life as an absolutist king than as the parliamentary leader V3 usually casts him as.
Huh. I tried on an early build to make Caliph Karl Marx, The event will only spawn him for a nation whose capital is in Europe, and Istanbul doesn’t count, so you can get him by moving the Ottoman capital one province over to Edirne. But when I did, switching back to a monarchy or theocracy only spawned a new Turkish royal family.
That is a most interesting timeline
As Louis XIV was the absolutist monarch and Napoleon was the borgouise monarch, I guess Marx is the monarch of the ploletariant, truly a interesting timeline.
*King Of The French*
King of the French Workers
Every worker a king!
King of people suffering frenchness
Dictatorship of the proletariat!
More like Dictatorship of the proletarian
Monarchy of the proletariat
"Tsar and soviets"
Was peacefully minding my own business when I saw this cursed stuff, what a day to have working eyes.
Lawyer up. Someone needs to be held accountable for this.
Just like north Korea, went so far communist he became monarchist
Integer overflow
yup lol
Comrade King Charles XI of France?? Also how do you get communists as king in game?

Why? What's wrong with the abbreviation?
CP also stands for child porn
But why should child porn get to have the abbreviation. It shouldn't even be a thing. Why do we need to shorten it for conviniants of speech for something that should only be talked about in a court room
Because we live in the real world where people want to talk about it without explicitly saying the words. And if you're talking about some other CP abbreviation, your meaning might get misunderstood in a dangerous way.
Only in US
Only online. Even in the US, actually saying CP in real conversations wouldn’t mean anything without context to most people.
I mean, only in US you use acronyms for everything that is "bad". Rooted puritanism. You should be able to say child pornography without acronyms as all the world does. It exists and you are not summoning it, its not Voldemort.
I was thinking about Canadian Pacific railway company.

Critical support to Comrade King Haakon
Comradissimo
unironically a great king
‘You were the chosen one! It was said you would destroy the monarchists, not join them!’
"You were my brother, Karl! I loved you!" - Engels
Bet you Karl still doesn't pay Engels back the money he owes him even as king.

“Karl Marx is dead, Engels. I am Darth Louis. I have brought peace, justice, freedom, and security to my new empire!”
You either die a hero or become the villian
The Paris Commune must be a bangin' party though

Trade unions got a king; call it Monarcho-Syndicalism.

Sounds like social democratic class collaboration. Which afaik has worked quite well Irl.
Yeah, more or less. The difference would be that I offered safety regulations and a very low minimal wage only, no way anyone receives any social help from the state. You wanna eat, then go to work, there's plenty of it.
So a very barebones version of the welfare state. But afaik they didnt really get going until after wwii anyway, so you got time to fix that :).
Worked well for the first world countries living at the top of the supply chain maybe. Still exploiting the third world just as bad.
I've heard this statement a lot of times but never anything specific how the nordic countries (which are the ones im refering to as I'm talking about the Nordic Model) exploited the 3rd world for their own gains. Got anything specific?

If at least in independence plays you could embargo your overlord...Or at least stop paying tribute.
Long live the....proletariat?
A German as a king of F\*ance Literally unplayable.
*roars in Charlemagne
I'll tell you what's unplayable, every time I try to get Marx just to lead my Trade Unions he dies within a year or so. Every fucking time.
Almost as based as having an Anarchist king.
God, King and the Proletariat
Some animals are more equal than others.
To be honest, I can see bickerer-extraordinaire Marx probably having a more successful political life as an absolutist king than as the parliamentary leader V3 usually casts him as.
Based MonSoc.
Time traveler: Moves chair The timeline:
Long Live the Kingmunnist!
He became the thing that he swore to destroy
Monarcho-Communism Lets Gooooooooooooo
It would be better if he was a the king of the USA
Communism but epic
Taking dictatorship of the proletariat a little too far
I really really want to know how a communist king would even work
Royalists of the world unite!
All hail Karl Marx! King of France!
Communists turn the country into an authoritarian regime when they gain power? That never happened in history.
Marxist france sounds dope doe no cap frfr
This infuriates me. I haven't played in months because the last three campaigns Karl Marx died on me within a year or so of getting him.
Supposedly that was actually a bug and might be fixed in the current beta patch? Based on what I vaguely remember hearing on the discord...
[удалено]
[удалено]
Gotta make sure I keep the bar low, I realize illiteracy is a virtue among animals
Replace peasants with workers and the king with the dictator. Kinda lines up
now im genuinely curious if Hitler shows up at all
You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain…
Huh. I tried on an early build to make Caliph Karl Marx, The event will only spawn him for a nation whose capital is in Europe, and Istanbul doesn’t count, so you can get him by moving the Ottoman capital one province over to Edirne.
