Autocracy is not a part of a communism.

Yeah all those countries weren't really communist am i right? Not really a point in arguing with a guy with the hammer and sickle in both his name and his steam background is there?

True communism never existed

And true communism can't exist, so there isn't really a point in trying and starving millions of people...

Autocracy is not a part of a communism.

"Elections" in core HOI4 are two things: the ability of one fundamentally different ideology to replace the current governing ideology (i.e. fascist or communist party wins a general election for chancellor/president), and swapping a party with a similar ideological leaning by replacing the head of government (i.e. replacing Stanley Baldwin, Halifax, or Churchill for the UK).

There are six starting communist countries in HOI4: USSR, Mongolia, Tannu Tuva, Communist China, Sinkiang, and Paraguay.

USSR would not typically have general elections with any true competition to Stalin. The similar ideology/different party or candidate is modelled by the purge and the potential Trotsky rise to power. The different ideology option is presented by minister appointment of Karensky or the other guy I can't remember off the top of my head.

Tannu Tuva is meant to be annexed, and is not meant to be playable beyond the equal-potency that all nations share (political power, military attaches, shared research, and funding coups and parties). Not like Stalin would tolerate an ideology change there any way.

Mongolia is in a similar boat as the USSR, but without a Trotsky equivalent.

Sinkiang and PRC are factions vying for control of all of China. Both have the similar ideology power struggle represented in their national focuses. Without total control of China, none of the factions or warlords would consider relinquishing power in election, regardlss of their ideology.

Paraguay is an oddball in HOI4, I can't really speak for it.

TL;DR:
The "elections" modeled in HOI4 either are not the kind of elections that occured in the so-called (by the game) communist countries, or elections simply did not occur in the game's timespan in these countries for whatever reason.

If you want to have a communist party in power but with free elections remaining, try the Millenium Dawn mod for a modern day game.

Also you just said no communist country ever existed so why does it even matter if the "communist" countries don't have elections in the game? They obviously aren't communist according to yourself

You don't argue with communists. You just smile at them with pity and walk away.

Elections for the party positions would be interesting. Infact there are mods that have that feature such as Kaiserreikh and Darkest Hour. Simply events when the party congress occurs could deciede it. Though for the start of the game, 1936, you'd have to wait several years for the next election since the previous Soviet election was in the early 1930's, I believe.

I have already asked this question, but the community and the developers have their own twisted view of political reality and just reality in general.

The local freaks will insult you and then say they know history better than you, cause apparently the PhD in Total War is all you need to make wild unbased assumptions.

Communist scum.

Something like this is pretty basic and could easily be modded in. You could have Trotsky, Bukharin, and later on, when those two are no longer canidates, maybe Kaganovich, Molotov, etc.

There's a lot of plausible leaders for election events; especially since Stalin requested to be relieved of his duties several times, you could have events for them accepting his resignation and who is elected to his positions.

Yes, but Florida didn't vote against what the population had decided. The oficial count is:

- 2,912,790 votes for Bush

those after the recount? youi honestly think they didn't rig that ♥♥♥♥?

It's always rigged when things don't go your way ;)

Capitalism is perfect, if things ever go wrong it is just "not real Capitalism"

True Capitalism is the most perfect system there can ever be.

Lol no. All so called democracies currently are all about the lesser of two evils because people are sheep and easy to manipulate
