Good Game To Play As Communists? HOI? (hexbear.net)

I think I'm just looking for some hope or catharsis lately. What's a good game where I can see some success as a communist group, country, etc?

Would playing as the USSR for Hearts of Iron IV work? It sounds super satisfying to defeat the Nazis in a war, but the game also sounds extremely complicated - well, the one time I tried it (and found a 6 hour tutorial or something like that on YouTube, then gave up).

What do people think of that game? Are there other alternatives to scratch that itch?

There's the recent game where you play as the Mensheviks or Bolsheviks post USSR Revolution in 1917, but I'm still figuring out the German SDP version of the game. My brain isn't ready to learn all the nuance of a new version of that yet, I don't think lol.

Thank you that’s a much better description then I would’ve given since it’s been a bit since I’ve been able to play lol

Is there a country you’d recommend starting in that it’s relatively easy to get a revolution?

Dai Nam (Vietnam). The game is challenging and easy to fall into a death spiral. Dai Nam gives you a good start to learn the ropes of the game. It's one of the tutorial countries, too, because it gives you a good blank start without difficult starting conditions and has been recommended by the community to be used as a first game country (previously it was Korea).

I really hope the next DLC or so will be a communist improvement (this last one fixed a lot of issues but is capitalist focused, and corporate states mechanically are overpowered in the game). It would be nice if command economy was overhauled and expanded.
