Simple Italy Guide

A guide for Italy in China Mao's legacy, (Dates, effects, circumstances welcome!)

1/1/1978, Lead 70s

The political situation in Italy in the 1970s became seriously aggravated. Unresolved socio-economic issues have led to a growing distrust of democratic institutions - radical terrorist groups of ultra-left and far right have begun to appear throughout the country.

The situation is no better in the sphere of legal politics. The strongest left party is the Italian Communist Party, which since 1972 has been headed by Enrico Berlinguer, who put forward a strategy of "historical compromise" - in the face of the threat of a pro-fascist coup, it is necessary fight for the preservation of democracy. Thus, Enrico Berlinguer gave a signal to other parliamentary parties - Italian Socialist Party and, in particular, Christian Democratic Party led by Aldo Moro on the need to unite efforts and create a government of national trust, where all political forces will be represented.

Eurocommunist platform of the leader ICP, coupled with distancing from the USSR, brought communists the best result in parliamentary elections - 34% (7% more than in the previous ones) against 38% for Christian Democrats.

However, the ICP proposal was completely ignored by other parties under various pretexts - from accusations of ties with Moscow to excessive dogmatism. Another significant force in parliament is Italian social movement, which, despite being true to the ideals of fascism, positions itself as a pro-parliamentary party. Instability in Italian domestic politics opens up opportunities for us to intervene - but who better to support?

This is the first event you will get for Italy, the options are as follows:

• Establish connections with ultra-left organizations (Money: - 3.0, Agents: - 4.0)
  
• Establish connections with far-right organizations (Money: - 3.0, Agents: - 4.0)
  
• Establish connections with all terrorist organizations (Money: - 6.0, Agents: - 8.0)
  
• Make connections and hand them over to the police (Money: - 6.0, Agents: - 10.0)
  
• Keep out

This is a prepatory event, which means you won't get anything from this other than conditions for later events:

• Contacts will be established with the Red Brigades
  
• Contacts will be established with the Revolutionary Armed Cells
  
• Contacts will be established with both groups
  
• Contacts will be established with both groups, and Italian secret services will neutralize them
  
• Nothing happens

20/03/1978, End of Historic Compromise?

Recently, ex-premier and leader of CDA Aldo Moro was kidnapped in Rome, not far from his home ultra-left grouping "Red Brigades"/far-right group "Revolutionary Armed Cells".Moro, being one of the most authoritative leaders of the CDA, supported the idea of a "historic compromise", on that day he was heading to a key meeting of Parliament, where he intended to put forward their plan to form a government of national unity in Italy, headed by the current head of government Andreotti and with the participation of communists.

Nevertheless, the radicals managed to instigate car accident, neutralize the protection of the ex-premier and take him prisoner. In their appeal, they demanded the extradition of several captured terrorists in exchange for Moro.

Most of the parliamentary parties were against negotiations with the terrorists, as they would "compromise the political institutions of Italy". Only the leader of the Italian Socialist Party Bettino Craxi called for negotiations in order to save the ex-premier's life.

Many politicians from other countries, the Pope and the UN Secretary General called on the terrorists to release Moro.

This event happens if the terrorist groups was not handed over to the police. The Red Brigades will kidnap him (like IRL) if no contacts were established OR contacts were established with the Red Brigades only OR contacts were established with both group. The Revolutionary Armed Cells will kidnap him if contacts were established with the Revolutionary Armed Cells only.

• We don't interfere
  
• Pacify the radical left and force the ex-premier to be released (Agents: - 9.0) (Red Brigades kidnapped Moro)
  
• Pacify the right-wing radicals and force the release of the ex-premier (Agents: - 9.0) (Revolutionary Armed Cells kidnapped Moro)
  
• Accuse the United States of inspiring terrorist attacks
  
• Accuse the USSR of inspiring terrorist attacks
  
• Call on the terrorists to let Moro go

The event effects are as follows:

• Moro dies
  
• The Red Brigades release Moro, Moro forms Democratic Alternative
  
• The Revolutionary Armed Cells release Moro, Moro forms Democratic Alternative
  
• Moro dies, relations with US lowered
  
• Moro dies, relations with USSR lowered
  
• Moro dies

20/3/1978, Historic Compromise

After the 1976 elections, the very possibility of forming a new government depended decisively on what position PCI would take. As a result, a "government of abstentions" was created, headed by Christian Democrat Giulio Andreotti, for the creation of which only members of CDA voted, other parties abstained, but not voted against, agreeing to such "benevolent neutrality".

A year after the elections, a pact of "national solidarity" was concluded between the parliamentary parties for the joint fight against terrorism, the implementation of economic and political reforms. However, there was no talk of including Communists in the government: ISP considers the party to be overly dogmatic and conservative, and CDA rightly believes that IKP still maintains ties with Moscow.

For the creation of a government of national trust and a historic compromise on the part of the right, the former prime minister and leader CDA Aldo Moro, who today went to Parliament to discuss the issue of creating a government based on a new majority.

This event only happens if you established connections with both groups and turned them into the police. You will gain the Historic compromise achievement

As a result of negotiations between ICP and CDA, it was announced the creation of a "government of national trust", which will include representatives of both parties, and will be headed by Christian Democrat Giulio Andreotti. Communists received the portfolios of the ministries of internal affairs, health, culture, labor and social policy and education, the rest of the posts were taken by representatives of CDA.

A new alignment of affairs did not suit both superpowers - the United States is worried about the expansion of the influence of IKP in the government, which allegedly will transfer secret information to the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union, in turn, is extremely wary of the prospects of its further influence on Eurocommunist parties in Europe.

21/06/1979, Elections in Italy - 1979

This event has three different variations depending on Moro's fate, I will outline them one by one since they don't have any options.

The first variant
During the year, the political situation within Italian society has changed significantly. After the return of Aldo Moro from captivity and the founding of the Democratic Alternative</color>, the popularity of CDA as the main centre-right party staggered. ISP has strengthened its position, also thanks to defectors from IKP. These two centre-left reform-oriented parties want to undermine the current bipartisan dominance of PCI and CDA that has been going on for 30 years.

In the parliamentary elections in Italy, Democratic Alternativewon with 31% of the vote, followed by PCI with 25%, followed by PSI with 16% and, finally, the crushing loser CDA with 15%. By entering into a coalition with COI and several minor parties, Aldo Moro</color> managed to form a government.

First of all, the Prime Minister initiated the opening of an investigation sponsoring terrorists, as a result of which it turned out that in the 1970s it was beneficial for the United States to create an atmosphere of chaos, tension and escalation of violence in Italy. It was proved that the Red Brigades activists had connections with the US special services, existed even before the attempt on Aldo Moro, and the attempt itself was prepared by the USA to remove an inconvenient politician who was ready to ally with PCI.

The facts that came to light caused a resonance in the Italian public, and Aldo Moro accused The United States interfered in the internal affairs of Italy and announced a reduction in Italy's participation in NATO programs.

This version happens if Moro was released from captivity and you did not form relations with both terrorist groups. Italy will leave NATO, and you will get the Moro's revenge achievement from this.

The second variant
During the year, the political situation within Italian society has changed significantly. The murder of right-wing radicals Aldo Moro led to a drop in the popularity of right-wing movements, but the expected compromise between ICP and CDA did not happen.

In early 1979, the government, without consultation with PCI, made important political decisions (on Italy's entry into the European monetary system, on the candidacies of heads of state companies, etc.). This prompted ICP to refuse to cooperate with the government and return to the opposition. The 15th Congress of the ICP, held in March 1979, called for the party not to continue to support governments that did not include its representatives. However, ICP's ratings have seriously jumped during this time - maybe Berlinguer and his party have a chance to finally form a government?

Italian Communist Party won the parliamentary elections in Italy for the first time with 39% of the vote. The second is CDP with 31% of votes, the third - with 5% PSI. Small left parties received a total of 6%, which allowed them to enter into a coalition with PCI and form a government headed by Enric Berlinguer. For the first time in the history of Western Europe, a communist becomes the leader of a state. Berlinguer promises to start building "Italian socialism" and revise foreign policy, in particular, agreements with the EU.

This version happens if Moro was killed by the far right Revolutionary Armed Cells. Italy will leave the EEC and flip green from this.

The third variant
During the year, the political situation within Italian society has changed significantly. The assassination of Aldo Moro by radical leftists led to a drop in the popularity of leftist movements, but the expected compromise between ICP and CDA did not happen.

In early 1979, the government, without consultation with PCI, made important political decisions (on Italy's entry into the European monetary system, on the candidacies of heads of state companies, etc.). This prompted ICP to refuse to cooperate with the government and return to the opposition. The 15th Congress of the ICP, held in March 1979, called for the party not to continue to support governments that did not include its representatives. However, IKP's ratings have seriously fallen during this time - most likely, the brilliant success of 1976 will not be repeated.

Christian Democratic Party won the parliamentary elections in Italy with 38%. PCI worsened its position with 30% of the vote, PSI was able to get the support of almost 10% of voters.

Italian Communist Party, having critically analyzed its activities during the period of "national solidarity", came to the conclusion that at this stage, cooperation with CDP within the framework of such a broad coalition is impossible. Instead of the "historical compromise" formula, PCI put forward the slogan of "democratic alternative". It involves the creation of a coalition of left-wing parties that will seek government power not together with CDP, but in opposition to it. But PC has practically no fellow travelers, due to the fact that PSI takes a sharp anti-communist position.

This version happens if Moro was killed by the far left Red Brigades.

??/??/1981 Does the horseshoe theory work?

After the release of Aldo Moro, the police set about cleaning up left and right terrorist groups. Due to such softness towards the government and the ex-premier, a split is also brewing among the radicals - the fragmentation of movements and the lack of a unified government are superimposed on the ideological contradictions of the right and left, which often turn into bloody clashes.

Nevertheless, now between two warring groups - "Red Brigades" and "Revolutionary Armed Cells" there has been a rapprochement on the basis of contempt for all current political parties and parliamentary democracy in general. It should be noted that Italy already had the experience of such a "political surrogate", where left-radical and right-wing radicals were combined - the ideology of Nazi-Maoism, which equally hates both Soviet socialism and Western liberalism.

Perhaps there is sense to intervene to expand our influence in Europe? But what could it lead to...

This event happens if you force the terrorists to release Moro and you established links with both groups. The event option are as follows:

• Contribute to the unification of left and right terrorist groups (Money: - 10.0, Agents: - 15.0)
  
• Do nothing

The options will have the following effect:

• Both groups will merge. You can now increase terrorist strength in Italy by clicking on it, you need 3 army and agents for each time you support it (increases power by 15). Every month, their strength will be reduced by 5. To launch the Nazi-Maoist revolution, you need 15 army, 15 agents, 100 terrorist power and USA + USSR influence to be below 35.
  
• Both groups will be defeated.

(player choice) Nazi-Maoist revolution

After the unification of radical terrorist organizations into a single network, Italy was covered by a wave of anarchy. The police and the army could not cope with the onslaught of the city guerrillas "Red Brigades" and "Revolutionary Armed Cells". The political crisis was exacerbated by the flight of young people (mostly unemployed) to radical organizations.

At this time, the superpowers are advancing their interests - the United States is inciting the right in parliament and the army to a coup d'etat, and the USSR - to a ruthless fight against terrorism and the creation of a unified government from of all parties, which will legitimize state institutions and strengthen control over the country.

Nevertheless, the strengthened Nazi-Maoist army, not without our help, prepared a plan for an uprising in some regions over which the government is rapidly losing control. The Nazi-Maoist revolution is close to its end, but how will the superpowers react to a virtual civil war in a European country?

The uprising is gaining momentum and it seems that the radicals are not going to give up so easily. The United States and the USSR issued a call for a democratic government to suppress the uprising of terrorists. Martial law has been introduced in Italy.

After launching the Nazi-Maoist revolution, you will receive this event, which will start a war between radicals and the government.

If the radicals won:
During the uprising, the rebel managed to occupy several strategic cities in Northern Italy and blockade Rome. Government attempts to regain control proved futile, and as a result, the National Maoist army triumphantly entered Rome. structures.

The regime's legitimacy is practically zero, and even now the pro-democracy troops of the overthrown government are trying to organize resistance to the new regime. All major world countries did not recognize the result of the coup d'état.

You will receive the achievement The product of incest from this.

If the government won:
The Italian army was able to stop the attacks of the rebels. The leaders of the radical left "Red Brigades"and the right-wing radical "Revolutionary Armed Cells" were arrested, and the paramilitary structures were completely destroyed.

01/08/1982, Crisis of the Italian Republic

After the assassination of ex-premier Aldo Moro, the Italian police launched a raid on the radicals, but the investigation led to unexpected results.{0}The police managed to reach unprecedented corrupt deals between the leading political parties in Italy and the mafia. In exchange for campaign finance, the governments of Christian Democrats and Socialists were revealed to have lobbied for mafia interests and patronized corruption and illegal dealings.

Scandal caused numerous checks: criminal cases were opened against many politicians, representatives of local authorities and entrepreneurs. The traditional political system is under threat. The leaders of the Christian Democrats and Socialists were arrested, and the parties dissolved themselves, their members flowed into the remaining parties that were not affected by the corruption scandal - Italian Communist Party and Italian Social Movement, i.e. the political map of Italy has become seriously polarized.

Also, a reform of the electoral law was carried out - the proportional system was replaced by a majoritarian one.

In this situation, we can contribute to the coming to power of one side or another, given that early parliamentary elections will be held soon.

Italy will leave NATO and the EEC from this event. The event options are as follows:

• Support Left (Money: - 10.0, Agents: - 10.0)
  
• Support Right (Money: - 10.0, Agents: - 10.0)
  
• Ignore

The event effects are as follows, note that this election is influenced by world events that I haven't fully tested yet:

• PCI wins If not supported, then PCI will win if the far-right killed Moro in 1979
  
• MSI wins If not supported, then MSI will win if the far-left killed Moro in 1979

??/??/1983, Elections in Italy - 1983

Despite the success of 1979, IKP failed to fully realize its election promises due to an intra-party split over what is more important - socialist reforms or European integration? It was not possible to develop any intelligible position for 4 years, and real reforms aimed at a significant revision of the country's socio-economic development were not implemented. Over time, it became obvious that ICP began to lose the support of its main electorate - the workers, who, against the backdrop of the economic crisis in the West, were waiting for the communists to implement an alternative scenario.

Elections are already this month and it is not very clear whether ICP can hold its current position.

As a result of the voting, IKP received 33.5% of the vote, losing about 7-8% compared to the last election. Now, Christian Democratic Party has taken the lead again with 38%, as well as Italian Socialist Party with 15%, which managed to take away a significant part of the electorate ICP.

ISP and CDA formed a coalition and Bettino Craxi led the government. The course towards European integration was confirmed.

This event happens if the PCI won in 1979, and relations was not established with both terrorist groups.

02/02/1983, Split in the left

After the corruption scandal in Italy and the victory of the left in the parliamentary elections, PCI was on the verge of a split due to different views on further reforms in Italy and the country's participation in European integration. There were several factions within the party. The problem is aggravated by the illness of E.Berlinguer, whose health was undermined by active ministerial work.

The first faction is the "neo-Stalinists" led by Armando Cossutta, condemning the Euro-communist course and being the most pro-Soviet among the leaders of the party.

The second faction is the "moderate left", whose leader is the chairman of the Chamber of Deputies Pietro Ingrao, who at one time called for the openness of the communists towards to the new left, but criticized the policy of "market socialism".

The third faction is the "right", led by Giorgio Napolitano, who advocates turning the party into a social democratic one.

Because of this, we can influence this or that faction, but what benefit will we get from this?

This event will happen if the PCI won in the 1982 elections. The options are as follows:

• Support Cossuta's faction (Money: - 5.0, Agents: - 8.0)
  
• Support Ingrao's faction (Money: - 5.0, Agents: - 8.0)
  
• Support the Napolitano faction (Money: - 5.0, Agents: - 8.0)
  
• Ignore

The option effects are as follows

• Cossuta will take power, Italy flips red and becomes pro-soviet, you will get the Historical Justice achievement.
  
• Ingrao will take power, Italy flips green, you will get the New Age Communism achievement.
  
• Napolitano will take power, Italy flips blue, you will get the Radish achievement
  
• PCI splits

02/02/1983, Split in the camp of the right

After the corruption scandal in Italy and the victory of the right in the parliamentary elections, ISD was on the verge of a split due to different views on further reforms in Italy and the country's participation in European integration. There are several factions within the party.{0}The first faction is the "pragmatic fascists" led by Giorgio Almirante, adherents of Mussolini's ideas, who, however, recognize that it is impossible to return the past and must be fought within the parliamentary system.

The second faction is the "popular fascists" led by Pino Romualdi, a fan of the Republic of Salo and syndicalism

The third faction is the "national conservatives" led by Gianfranco Fini, who advocates social conservatism and parliamentarism.

In this regard, we can influence this or that faction, but what will be the benefit for us?

This event will happen if the MSI won in the 1982 elections. The options are as follows:

• Support Almirante (Money: - 5.0, Agents: - 8.0)
  
• Support Romualdi (Money: - 5.0, Agents: - 8.0)
  
• Support Fini (Money: - 5.0, Agents: - 8.0)
  
• Ignore

The option effects are as follows:

• Almirante will take power, Italy flips red and becomes pro-soviet, you will get the XXI Century Fascism achievement.
  
• Romualdi will take power, Italy flips green, you will get the Historical farce achievement.
  
• Fini will take power, Italy flips blue, you will get the History always finds a loophole achievement
  
• MSI splits

13/06/1984 The demise of Berlinguer

I am not sure how this event is triggered (probably from the Historic Compromise or 1982 PCI victory, since that's the only ending where Berlinguer is in power) but it has no real effects other than the choice to send a delegation, express condolences or ignoring it.

Today, June 11, the Prime Minister of Italy and the leader of Italian Communist Party Enrico Berlinguer passed away.

A few days before,Berlinguer held a Padua, during which he suffered a stroke. Despite the obvious malaise, he continued his performance to the end, despite the fact that the crowd, after singing along with the choirs, shouted: "Enrico!" At the end of the action, he returned to the hotel, where he fell asleep on the bed in his room, immediately falling into a coma. A few days later he died of a cerebral hemorrhage. The Italian government has scheduled a funeral.

The funeral of Enrico Berlinguer , held in Rome on June 13, was attended by more than a million people - never before in Republican Italy has there been a demonstration of such magnitude. Numerous international statesmen and politicians were present on the stage - M. Gorbachev, Y. Arafat, J. Marchais, S. Carrillo.

The funeral was attended by the President of Italy Sadnro Pertini, who was remembered touching moment - the president bowed his head over the coffin, kissing him to the applause of those present. Among the Italian politicians, the funeral was attended by the leader of the Italian Socialist Party Bettino Crax and, unexpectedly, the leader of the Italian Social Movement Giorgio Almirante.

At the helm of the party and the state Berlinguer was replaced by Alessandro Natta.

Berlinguer heritage, possibly from 1983 PCI elections
The success of the Eurocommunist strategy led Italy to deepen social and democratic reforms. The departure from the principle of class struggle and most of the dogmatic attitudes developed in the 1930s in the Stalinist USSR made it possible to update the ideological base of the Communist Party, and expand the electoral base due to openness to the middle class. The appeal to European general humanist values seriously influenced the pro-Soviet communist parties in other European countries, incl. in the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark and Norway. This led to a sharp rise in the votes cast for the Communists in these countries, although even earlier, even many Soviet scholars recognized the decline of the labor movement in some of these countries. Accusations of revisionism by Maoist, Hoxhaist and Trotskyist organizations only added to the popularity of the democratic alternative to Soviet communism and Western capitalism.

In Italy itself, the heirs of Berlinguer's policy continued the implementation of Eurocommunist policy - the democratization of the economy and politics, the expansion of the influence of trade union organizations and a number of other progressive reforms.


Historic compromise, from historic compromise event
The policy of historical compromise was able to qualitatively change Italian democracy. The electoral successes of the communists became impossible to ignore, and such a high level of electoral influence was converted into political influence due to the entry of representatives of the ICP into a coalition government with the CDA. The emergence of a force defending the interests of the working class and the intelligentsia not only in the arena of parliamentary battles and trade union struggle, but also in the structures of the central government, led not only to the strengthening of the role and status of the communists in Italian politics, but also to the sharing of responsibility in implementing reforms with the Christian Democrats.

With the reforms themselves, everything turned out to be ambiguous, since the communists received only minor portfolios in the government, the most significant posts remained with the Christian Democrats. Only a number of reforms were promoted, affecting the tax system (primarily taxes on wealth and capital gains), the role of trade unions in enterprises and the mechanism of regional self-government. Nevertheless, despite the scarcity of reforms and their, in many respects, social democratic sense, the expansion of social guarantees, the expansion of free education and medicine led to an increase in the popularity of the ICP, but caused unspoken sabotage by entrepreneurs who began to strengthen material support for the CDA and the socialists.

Nevertheless, in the next elections, the PCI was able to increase its result, receiving 36% against 40% for the Christian Democrats. However, it was not possible to form such a broad coalition again. The CDA leader recognized the policy of historical compromise as “unpromising” and “threatening the national sovereignty in Italy”, since with its help “Moscow could receive information related to the military and economic potential of Italy and NATO countries”. As a result, the Christian Democrats decided to form a coalition with the Socialists, the post of Prime Minister was taken by the leader of the ISP, Bettino Craxi. Thus, the policy of historical compromise ended before it even began.

National Maoist utopia, from the Nazi maoist revolution
Led by a special Committee for the National Liberation of Italy, represented by the four Enzo Maria Dantini, Hugo Serafino Di Luia and Hugo Cascella, the new Italy entered the ranks of "revolutionary nationalism" under the banner of Nazi-Maoism. The main ideologists and philosophers of the movement were declared to be the fighter against imperialism Mao Zedong, the representative of the uprising of the spirit against old values, Friedrich Nietzsche, Che Guevara, who went beyond the right and left, the national esoteric Julius Evola and the existentialist Sartre. And the whole ideology began to rest on three pillars: anti-imperialism, anti-Zionism and anti-capitalism.

The theorists of the "national revolution" proclaimed a new slogan "each state has its own nation", thereby declaring a new principle of ethno-nationalism, where each nation has the right to its own state and must live exclusively in their own state. At the same time, despite the rejection of the Soviet Union, it is argued that socialism was strengthened in the Soviet Union only thanks to the policy of Stalinist Russocentrism and the rejection of the internationalist project.

Physically liquidating the leaders of the right and left movements who disagree with the new regime Associazione Lotta di Popolo - the new ruling party, which declared itself as "not left and not right" - absorbed many ordinary extreme right and extreme left elements. And then she adopted a new external political doctrine - after leaving the NPT, the new Italian authorities declared that “anti-fascism and anti-communism are false oppositions created by the system to distract revolutionary forces and the unity of the Italian people should be revived outside and against institutions in order to free themselves from political, economic and cultural exploitation of the imperialism of Russia, the United States, the Vatican and world Zionism. {0}In line with their statements, Italian domestic political reforms touched on many aspects: the Blackshirts were revived, a one-party system was established, the big bourgeoisie was shot, a system of decentralized self-governing syndicates was introduced without private property under strong state regulation and state control over the banking and monetary systems. The eradication of other cultures, except for a single Italian, began, segregation racial legislation was revived, and army ranks were abandoned when adopting the Maoist theory of a popular mass guerrilla army and building up all of Italy with bunkers assigned to each family.

Comrade Kosutta, from Cossuta's rise to power in 1983
Italy under the rule of Kossuta underwent significant changes, and the first of them affected the Communist Party itself: from the very beginning, Kossuta's supporters were pro-Soviet activists standing on the positions of the Italian Operaismo movement, and, taking as a basis Lenin's late thesis that "the path to socialism lies through cooperativization economy under the dictatorship of the proletariat and the workers' state", Kossuta with his supporters deepened Operaismo and established it as the leading ideology in the party, while the liberal wing was subject to lustration. It is also worth noting that from the very beginning of their rule, after asserting control over the party, the new authorities carried out a number of political reforms aimed at strengthening the power of the workers and the communist party: all elections for deputy seats began to be carried out through single-member districts, nominations on party lists were canceled, and persons not engaged in business began to be admitted to the election as candidates. At the same time, elections have become multi-staged according to the patterns of direct democracy, when first the Council in the region is elected, then the Councils of Regions - in the district, and the Councils of Districts - the Supreme Council. Such a reform allowed Kossuta to use all available state and party levers to consolidate the dominance of the communist party.

At the same time, the new Italy took a social example from East Germany in relation to gender rights, equality regardless of orientation, the tolerance of nudism and other forms of social equality when refusing to impose one's social behavior on other people. At the same time, the state increased pressure in economic policy: all strategically important sectors of the economy were nationalized, an external monopoly on trade was established, a planning committee was formed (whose composition is elected once every 5 years by the Supreme Council, and not approved by the party), corporations were liquidated, strict rules for the fight against monopolies, as well as benefits, subsidies and other assistance to young cooperatives. Propaganda began to glorify the "communal way of life", while Italy itself was divided into partially self-governing communes, spacious wide communal houses came into fashion, weekly communal "gatherings" and even the management of state enterprises was transferred to labor collectives. But despite this, enterprises are still committed to strictly fulfilling the five-year plan and the tasks given to them by the planning committee, thereby maintaining a centralized economic approach to decentralized local self-government.

At the same time, in foreign policy, Italy remains a true friend of Moscow, having established strong and close ties with the countries of the Eastern Bloc and the old socialist world.

Comrade Ingrao, from Ingrao's rise to power in 1983
Ingrao's reign is primarily remembered for the final liquidation of fascist movements in Italy and the reorganization of the Communist Party: all fascist movements and movements praising fascism, Mussolini, Francoism or other forms of fascism were banned, as well as their symbols, and the leaders were arrested. At the same time, an official "lustration" was announced in the country, according to which anyone who at least somehow collaborated with the authorities under Mussolini was deprived of all political rights and the opportunity to work in the public service (thus overturning many leading political forces). As for the Communist Party, Ingrao turned sharply to the leftist youth movements in Italy, using young activists to reshuffle and rejuvenate the ranks of the party. And the second cabinet minister under Ingrao began to consist of the youngest ministers in the history of Italy. The renewal of the ranks of the party led to the renewal of the party ideology: in contrast to the liberal and pro-Soviet wing, the ideology of the new left and libertarian socialism was established. Domestic policy also underwent significant changes: feminism, extreme environmentalism, and trade unionism were adopted.

Such changes led to the introduction of huge "ecological" laws, the abandonment of nuclear power plants, the introduction of a social rating of citizens (with rewards and punishments), mandatory unionization of enterprises (the transfer of all enterprises to the ownership of the labor collective in a joint-stock form), along with harsh antitrust and anti-corporate taxes and a tax on wealth. flight of minds" and by 2001, unable to cope with the economic problems that had arisen, the Communist Party of Italy split into three parties: "Left Democrats" (democratic socialists and social democrats), "Communist Renaissance Party" (radical anarchists and libertarian socialists) and " Party of Italian Communists" (pragmatists and supporters of the Operaismo idea, led by Cossuto). Despite this, Ingrao once again won the election, nominated as "non-partisan from all progressive left forces." The split of the Communist Party led to an increase in the popularity of the centrist forces, but not a single force eventually managed to win a parliamentary majority, which led to the formation of a parliamentary coalition.{0} Three parts of the former unified Communist Party, despite their differences, were able to agree and form a ruling coalition. To combat capital flight, a decision was made to "temporarily nationalize all enterprises that threaten the national security of the country" - which legally meant the transfer of all dissenting corporations under state control while maintaining the transfer of profits to their owners. And to combat the brain drain, the government has greatly expanded the rights of the student council, effectively placing the running of the educational institutions and teaching program in the hands of the students, hoping that the "atmosphere of freedom" will engender new "homeland-loyal" minds. However, all polls show that this will be the last term for Ingrao, and he himself understands this, which means that in the future the three fragments of the Communist Party will again fight for leadership.

Comrade Napolitano, from Napolitano's rise to power in 1983
Napolitano's reign began with his famous phrase: "The Communist Party cannot rule alone, otherwise it will be a dictatorship." Giorgio Napolitano called for the formation of a "government of national unity" and, through mediation, a coalition was formed between the Communist Party, the Italian Socialists and the Italian People's Party. The coalition received approval from the Vatican and set as its goal the "democratic reform of capitalism." The government began moderate social reforms, which led to a general increase in the welfare of the population, but the discontent of the right-wing forces, who accused the regime of "Bolshevizing the economy" and "encouraging laziness" despite the fact that the reforms did not include either socialization or nationalization of anything, but only the strengthening of labor rights, trade union rights, budgetary social spending and state regulation. In protest against the "excessively soft" policy of the Communist Party, after the failed attempts to remove Napolitano, a group of pro-Soviet communists led by Cossuto left it, which created the Communist Renaissance Party. The departure of the most left wing from the party led to the strengthening of the positions of the liberal wing and the ruling party abandoned all its past attitudes and even rejected Lenin, taking the positions of Austro-Marxism and Luxembourgism. the wing of the new left at the party congress demanded the socialization of enterprises and their transfer into the hands of labor collectives. But their demands were not met, and they also left the ranks of the party. Another split coincided with the budget deficit and, as a result, the forced increase in taxes to maintain the social state. All this has led to the popularization of forces on the right side of the political compass. Not wanting to run for another presidential term (so as not to break the political tradition), Napolitano was forced to run for president again. His last term was crowned with a massive reorganization of the Communist Party, the Italian Socialists and the Italian People's Party into a single party, the Democrats of the Left "in order to counter the growing threat from the right-wing forces."

democratic type. Under the rule of Napolitano, Italy became a state of generally recognized neutrality, retaining all the political features and system of a democratic post-war Italy, and Sergio Mattarella, a former Christian Democrat and member of the ruling Left Democrats, was elected his successor to the post of President, who promised to continue the policy of his predecessor "defending democracy and capitalism with a human face".

Era Almirante, from Almirante's rise to power in 1983
Having come to power as part of a motley coalition from fascists to conservative liberals, Almirante continued his intra-party policy of "seemingly a radical, in fact a pragmatist", transferring it to the entire government. Constantly making radical statements and rude speeches, Almirante implemented a de facto national-conservative policy: paternalistic economic methods were analogous to French dirigisme, the state supported traditional and family cultural values, Mussolini was not rehabilitated, but was recognized as an ambiguous historical figure, and to calm the masses were introduced some social guarantees and benefits.{0}At the same time, Almirante launched a truly broad campaign to combat radicalism: terrorists were entitled to the death penalty, and even those who simply rented an apartment to terrorists were recorded as accomplices: many anti-terrorist laws were taken from the FRG. And with the next blow, the Italian secret services, after a long investigation, revealed the facts of financing of many politicians of the PCI by the KGB, which led to a sharp drop in the authority and rating of the PCI and its transformation into the Democratic Party of the Left.

After Almirante's death, the national coalition and the MSI party were headed by Duce's granddaughter Alessandra Mussolini, who continued the previous policy of pragmatic cooperation, but brought new trends to Italian fascism in order to stay afloat of social changes: fascist feminism, postmodern art, pro-Zionism and an active fight against ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and Romanians (♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ were declared "criminal societies" and became taken to internment camps, and the Romanians were declared "historical criminals claiming the great Roman heritage").

Romualdi Era, from Romualdi's rise to power in 1983
Having come to power against the backdrop of mass popular protests against the old regime, Romualdi confidently agreed to infuse right-wing conservative forces into the party. Interaction with the youth and the South (the main base of the neo-fascists) was transferred to Romualdi's comrade-in-arms - Pino Rauti, who quickly began to put together neo-fascist legions to counter the leftist forces. The government began to support neo-fascist trade unions to counter the Reds, and also implemented a policy of rehabilitation of the Republic of Salo: its Constitution and laws were recognized as exemplary for the formation of a native Italian people's state.{0}As part of the implementation of the new policy, the IRI was restored, endowed with the right not only to provide financial assistance to businesses and banks, but also to trade unions and peasant communities, as well as the right to freeze prices in the event of a "threat to national security" and the right to nationalize "unpatriotic businesses." The new authorities also made it mandatory for businesses and corporations to conclude contracts exclusively through unions and to hire only those who are members of unions.

In general, Romualdi's rule was not only accompanied by a balancing act between expanding the rights of workers and providing financial assistance to corporations to appease them, but also the rehabilitation of the late Mussolini, the historical reappraisal of the past and the support of cultural conservatism, traditionalism and fascist modernism. Political opposition to the regime was attempted by the Eurocommunist ICP, which rallied all the left around itself, which has every chance of winning the 1989 elections, since after the death of Romualdi in 1988, an active struggle began in the MSI leadership between the right-wing conservatives Fini and the radical fascists Rauti.

Fini Era, from Fini's rise to power in 1983
In order to achieve the complete political isolation of the left and the stabilization of Italy, Almirante decided to nominate his young protégé Gianfranco Fini from the broad center-right coalition led by MSI, thanks to which even fragments of the former ISP supported the new government. Bypassing any issues related to Mussolini and the past, Fini began to implement a liberal economic policy: the state abandoned economic intervention, taxes were reduced, state property was privatized, and a tax amnesty was introduced. At the same time, the government provided strong protectionism and raised import duties, but also heeded the recommendations of trade unions on the implementation of welfare programs.

The state supported a program to preserve and protect cultural and traditional values in the country. The radicals who protested against such a "moderate" position of MSI left the party, and after the death of Almirante, MSI was headed by Gianfranco Fini and transformed from a fascist party into a right-wing conservative National Alliance party, abandoning fascist attitudes, and the young politician Silvio Berlusconi.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the political map of Italy underwent major changes. After the death of Enrico Berlinguer and the departure of Alessandro Natta as general secretary, the PCI was headed by Achille Occheto, who began to dismantle the Eurocommunist and Marxist attitudes in the party and announced the transition to a social democratic platform. At a congress in 1990, the Communist Party dissolved itself and was replaced by the Democratic Left Party. Part of the orthodox Marxists and Eurocommunists, like Kossuta and Ingrao, refused to join the new party and created their own - the Communist Renaissance Party.{0}The positions of the left in the country weakened - the PDL gained only 16% in the 1992 elections, although the CDA also had a leadership undermined, they scored only 29%. In the second half of the 1990s, the PDLS would join the Oliva block of left-wing parties, but by the end of the decade it would fall apart, and the party’s successors would even move away from social democratic positions.{0}In 1992-1993, law enforcement agencies set about eradicating the influence of the mafia and criminal groups for election campaigns and political life. But the results of the trials were unprecedented. The threads of the investigation led to the very top - the tops of the largest political parties - Christian Democrats and Socialists - were somehow connected with the mafia.{0}After such a blow, the traditional parties of Italy disappeared from the political arena. Silvio Berlusconi's party «Forward, Italy» occupied a free niche.

Comrade Ingrao (alt)
Ingrao's reign is primarily remembered for the final liquidation of fascist movements in Italy and the reorganization of the Communist Party: all fascist movements and movements praising fascism, Mussolini, Francoism or other forms of fascism were banned, as well as their symbols, and the leaders were arrested. At the same time, an official "lustration" was announced in the country, according to which anyone who at least somehow collaborated with the authorities under Mussolini was deprived of all political rights and the opportunity to work in the public service (thus overturning many leading political forces). As for the Communist Party, Ingrao turned sharply to the leftist youth movements in Italy, using young activists to reshuffle and rejuvenate the ranks of the party. And the second cabinet minister under Ingrao began to consist of the youngest ministers in the history of Italy. The renewal of the ranks of the party led to the renewal of the party ideology: in contrast to the liberal and pro-Soviet wing, the ideology of the new left and libertarian socialism was established. Domestic policy also underwent significant changes: feminism, extreme environmentalism, and trade unionism were adopted.

Such changes led to the introduction of huge "ecological" laws, the abandonment of nuclear power plants, the introduction of a social rating of citizens (with rewards and punishments), mandatory unionization of enterprises (the transfer of all enterprises to the ownership of the labor collective in a joint-stock form), along with harsh antitrust and anti-corporate taxes and a tax on wealth. flight of minds" and by 2001, unable to cope with the economic problems that had arisen, the Communist Party of Italy split into three parties: "Left Democrats" (democratic socialists and social democrats), "Communist Renaissance Party" (radical anarchists and libertarian socialists) and " Party of Italian Communists" (pragmatists and supporters of the Operaismo idea, led by Cossuto). Despite this, Ingrao once again won the election, nominated as "non-partisan from all progressive left forces." The split of the Communist Party led to an increase in the popularity of the centrist forces, but not a single force eventually managed to win a parliamentary majority, which led to the formation of a parliamentary coalition.{0} Against the backdrop of the defeat of the socialist camp, the Left Democrats decided to form a coalition with the centrist bloc Daisy and the League of the North ( movement for the autonomy of the Padania region). The new government canceled the "radical reforms" of the previous governments by turning to the ideas of the social liberal economy in the new government, thereby stopping the flight of capital and brains. The recession was corrected through deregulation and large government injections into sectors of the economy. In protest against the "destruction of all his works", Ingrao announced his entry into the "Party of Italian Communists" and tried to organize a coalition between them and the Cossuto party, but in the conditions of a parliamentary republic there was little he could oppose to the ruling bloc.{0}The Italian economy again stood on legs, but one can no longer dream of any socialism. However, all polls show that this will be the last term for Ingrao, and he himself understands this, which means that the centrists have every chance to finally gain a foothold in the ruling system of Italy.

With the reformers coming to power in the USSR, relations between the ICP and the CPSU were restored, and relations between Moscow and Rome became significantly warmer.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, serious changes will await Italian policy - against the backdrop of reforms in the USSR, the Communist Party will split into supporters of the social democratic platform and adherents of Marxism and Eurocommunism. Other traditional Italian parties will disappear, such as the Socialists and Christian Democrats, after a corruption scandal.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Italian politics will face major changes - the traditional Italian parties will disappear, such as the Socialists and Christian Democrats, will disappear after a corruption scandal.

After the disappearance of traditional Italian parties, throughout the 1980s, political instability and conflicts between left and right parties continued, fueled by the growth of terrorism and extremism. However, in the 1990s, the political situation began to stabilize, and the empty niches of the left and right centers were filled by new parties that were no longer associated with either the CDA or the ISP.

By the way, if Almirante came to power, Italy will flips green, if Romualdi comes to power, Italy will flips grey.

If you let the PCI win in 1979, you must turn Spain to democratic socialism (by assassuring the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Spain) and let France leave the EEC (first let the PCF win, and then join the CEMA. In subsequent events, persuade France strengthens the connection with Eastern BLOC)

Only in this case, the PCI that won in 1979 can continue to be in power.

I've never managed to get the "Crisis of the Italian Republic" event to fire. Obviously it only fires if Moro was assassinated, but does it have to be by the left-wing group? It seems like if the right-wingers murder him (and the PCI wins in 1979) then the Crisis event doesn't fire in 1982 and the PCI are doomed to lose in 1983.

This is just about the only thing preventing me from getting to a scenario where NATO gets dissolved, I think.
