Description:

Hello lovers of political history.
Paradox has, thus far, only really depicted anarchism in extremely shallow and uninteresting ways. We have Spain… which is locked out of diplomatic effects entirely for… reasons? (The RDCA historically had a "president" who’s entire job was seeking recognition from foreign powers) Then there’s Ethiopia… for some reason… which gets an influx of seemingly random prominent figures from America, Russia and… Japan? And then there’s Argentina which can… make all the other south american countries get War Goals for… some… reason…

This is all rather strange. Not even really silly, just indicative of a failure of either imagination, historical research, or more likely both. So what if we tried to look into those Anarchist movements that actually existed, do some research, and think of interesting ways they might exist within the confines of the time period, and the available game mechanics?

This is what I have tried to accomplish with Anarchists Unite. Each of the paths is inspired by real people and real movements, with goals and diplomatic options that are at least informed by the historical record of movements active during the time period.

Current Features Include
– 🏴 An anarchist ideology group that includes both of the old Anarchism and Anarchist Communism tags, as well as Egoist Anarchism, Pure Anarchism, Anarcho Syndicalism, and a few other surprises.

– 🤝 Expanded diplomatic options for anarchist autonomous regions, allowing for them to co-operate as autonomous communes in a faction (instead of annexing each-other into ever expanding blobs as certain other mods choose to depict) send volunteers, all while still being disliked and treated with suspicion by other major powers.

– 🕵️ The Anarchist Insurrection and Political Assassination intelligence operations allowing for a better representation of the more covert tactics employed by anarchist organizations like the Free Combat Druzina, the Black Wave, and the Solidarios.

– 🇰🇷 Korean Government in Exile with large focus tree, and roster of historical figures. Includes fascist, democratic (both historical and non-historical), and communist paths, as well as a path that allows for the formation of the East Asian Anarchist Federation.

– 🇩🇪 German anarchist path which explores the activities of the anarchist resistance, as well as prominent anarchist exiles. (To access, play as Germany and re-militarize the Rhineland, then when the event occurs fire Heinrich Muller).

– ✊ Shared Anarchist path for all Centroamerican nations (including Cuba, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic) depicting the (admittedly extremely limited and difficult to research) anarchists and movements of the region, allowing for the formation of the Federacion Anarquista de Centroamerica y Caribe

– ☭ Soviet Anarchist Path featuring numerous imprisoned and exiled anarchists (and some who tried working with the Bolsheviks but had not yet been purged by the time frame of HOI4) which ends in one of the Nihilist, Anarcho-Communist, Syndicalist, or hidden Tolstoyan paths (To access begin any of the 3 possible civil war paths in the Soviet tree and when the event fires stage a prison break in any of the options).

– 🇪🇸 Reworked Spanish anarchist tree depicting a more realistic relationship between the Spanish Republic and the CNT/FAI, as well as including a handful of important anarchist figures Paradox saw fit to leave out of the game.
