It probably involves spamming the book burning edict every time it is off cooldown.

First, you will need to supply Tiki Torches to your population. Then, erect a bunch of statues and threaten to take them down. The entire Nazi population of your island will come out in droves.

Well. Techinically you already kind of are doing a National Socialism Playthrough as this game is pretty much always a socialist playthrough. What people forget about Nazism and Facisim is that Nazisim and Facisim is socialism. However unlike Communism that pretended the people control everything Facisim just goes and say "we own everything, we need it for the greater good" which is what Communism does without opnely saying it.

However to play a Nazi run will be hard, you simply can't put in the race superiority parts of the ideology into the game as any Caribbean should be seen as inferior which means everyone is inferior by default.

I'll just look and see what country the people come from and get rid of them or enslave them, besides, I could just be a xenophobic. Race superiority does not matter unless I decide that "brown is beautiful".

Well, if you don't want to come off as an edgy troll, you need to better define what it is you want to do.

Nazi is about as loaded a term as you can imagine, and people throw it around meaning very different things.

Do you want to play a Carribbean national socialist presidente? Do you want a roleplay scenario where some remnants of defeated German Nazis secretly infiltrated a small island and made their way into government? Do you not care about the intricacies of how Nazis ran their society and just want to be an evil ♥♥♥♥? Something else you have in mind?

IMO, the first one is basically just a regular nationalist playthrough. The second could be a set of interesting self-imposed goals and rules. You can't be openly Nazi because the world will come and crush you, but you can prioritize building a militaristic society and brainwash the people to protect yourself from being extradited, until you can make some sort of a superweapon. And the third needs no imagination and would be rather dumb, unless you really find it fun to be a racist ♥♥♥♥.

as stated by the previous poster, thisis not REALLY possible, you can impose restrictions on yourself to simulate a racist, bigoted attitude towards foreigners, but all you can really do in the game of the sort is to forbid immigration both ways and have plenty of labor camps instead of farms.

Late af, but whatever. No, Nazism and Fascism are not socialism. Socialism is to the far left, while the other two are to the far right. The word "social" in "national socialism" or Nationalsozialismus, is mere semantics. In simple terms, fascism is about having a strong and nationalistic state (Nazism is fascism with the added feature of being, well, extremely racist so to speak), while socialism is ultimately a stepping stone to communism, which is about common ownership and the absence of state, class and money. Sounds pretty much like opposites, no?

Take a look at this: https://www.indy100.com/article/nazi-socialist-right-wing-white-supremacists-history-twitter-mikestuchbery-7900001

In the case of Tropico, it's socialistic in several ways, but not completely, nor does it (game-wise) look like it's truly attempting to create a communistic society. If we had to put it somewhere on the political spectrum, it would, depending on how you play the game and which edicts you use, be placed somewhere to the left of social democracy and to the right of socialism. You can make it even further left or make it close to the center, but you can't really make it into a fascist, much less Nazist, place to be. Sure you can make the national faction have many members, ban immigrants and get a powerful military, but that's about it iirc. You can't take away some of Tropico's socialist things like free food and education.

In the end I was just referring to nazism as it was done in Nazi Germany, of course, I cannot persecute jews [not anti semitic, it just is what it is], but I can send foreigners to labor camps and practice authoritarian edicts and such.
