Communist Leaders

Just waiting for Lenin, Stalin, Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, Mao Tse Tung.
Tired of the North American fascist leaders in every game and there being no communists.

Well, if Russia is going to be one of the remaining Modern Age civs, it is somewhat likely to be the Soviet Union rather than a Russian Empire. The current leader of Russia has made the Russian Empire a bit too controversial. Maybe it will appear as a DLC in the Exploration Age, and have a Tsar as an associated leader.

that would be way too much of the woke stuff to implement in the base game, maybe wait for a dlc?

Somewhat true, funnily enough. If it works, Communism a great system of goverment.
But communism working is a fairy tale. Might as well say "a single immortal leader who is benign and uncorruptable is a great system". Yeah, true, but that's not how humans work.

Is why we probably won't get communist leaders ever again. One thing every leader in Civ 5 to 7 has in common is that they didn't destroy their own country and genocide their own people out of greed, corruption, and/or sheer idiocy. That means any communist leader is a no-go.

I agree, communist in a fantastic theory, but ultimately fails because it does not account for human nature.

there are several "utopia" centered ideas/systems like this. they work on paper, in theory, but fall apart as soon as human nature is introduced. capitalism is far from perfect but its the best we've got right now.

I think both Communism and "Free Market" Capitalism are two theoretical systems that ignore human nature.

Neither are very likely to ever exist in the real world. Though they will be used by people to justify their actions.

Same as most of the West. The ruling class has become an entrenched Oligarchy marching towards Nero- Feudalism.
