If you are not already familiar with nostalgames, they're an indie game studio that makes pro AES/pro socialist strategy games. This seems to be a remake of one of their past games 'Crisis of the Kremlin', in which you could could kill yeltsin and save the USSR.... im HOOKED.

Lol we actually have a page on the game and the revisionism is incredible https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Crisis_in_the_Kremlin

" If the player allows the counter-revolutionary Trotskyists to take over the Supreme Soviet, it is possible to establish socialist governments around the world through Permanent Revolution and even dismantle the United States in less than six years"

That is certainly an...optimistic viewpoint of Trotskyists.

god forbid i play a game where i do something that doesn't happen in real life lol
this whole article reads like one of those evangelical forum posts warning about the dangers your kid could have playing dungeons and dragons.

I think you're reading too much into a short ProleWiki page pointing out a few ways in which the game is not "pro AES" as OP claimed. Nobody here is saying you shouldn't play it if you want.

Ostalgie is great (which is the one I played). Do beware the games are ruthless, but getting to form your own block and resist the fall of the soviet union through cooperation gives me the good jimmies.
