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.

Really liked Wolfenstein 2, but be aware its very much building a resistance movement rather than overthrowing the nazis, it doesnt really pull a cohesive politics together other than being left friendly and punching right constantly. Still very cool, and theres a lot to be said about how good the story of BJ and his parents comes together.
