    You play as the Left Kuomintang. To play as this warlord, you have to first play as the League of Eight Provinces and then wait for that country to collapse, at which point you will get an event which allows you to select the Left Kuomintang.

        Yes. While their starting leader is Wang Jingwei (who, yes, was a fascist Japanese collaborator in real life), if you take certain focuses that centralize the government, you can eventually do a focus which results in Dai Li couping the government and installing a Totalist government.

            it’s a liberal’s idea of what totalitarianism is… “socialism for the state”, Orwellian type beat that has never existed nor will likely ever exist, at least on Earth. Mosley is as much a totalist as Mussolini who is as much a totalist as Beria. It’s silliness ofc.

            On the flip side, there is lore related to totalist infighting or sectionalism with some “totalists” really just being properly internationalist Marxist-Leninists who were lumped under the banner ostensibly for gameplay purposes and who in-lore dislike Mussolini, Mosley etc. And in fairness… even if it’s represented in a silly way using actual communists and fascists to represent it, it’s not necessarily outside of the realm of possibility for an ideology of its flavor to have gained some popularity I guess, with ideological trends like blanquism, socialism-from-above and Sorelian violence fetishism having had some measure of historical popularity.
