I kid, but I'm sure a compromise flag could exist.

Cuba didn't change theirs and I doubt any latin american socialist state would. Nationalist anti imperialist retoric is just or more important to us than world revolution retoric.It's communists, as if they're interested in legends.

But I'm somewhat confused as to why they decided to pick the EZLN flag for the Socialist Republic of Mexico under Cárdenas. It would've made more sense to keep the original flag or add some socialist elements into it, like making a wreath of corn around the eagle and have it hold the hammer and sickle in its claws.
That's kinda why I was suggesting the corn, since wheat was usually associated with the coat of arms of the Soviet Union. And instead of the eagle holding them, why not have the hammer snd sickle on the red stripe of the flag? Also, I know this is a mexica legend, I grew up studying that in México.
Vanilla HOI IV sucks, that's the main reason. They're too busy doing systems to make anything other than the strict OTL route at all well-researched or interesting.I use console cheats because I'm a newb

Hopefully that's not unrealistic. To quote from Lenin's Tomb,Did...did Gorbachev just try to work with Yeltsin to stop the august coup?
I can't decide if I want to laugh, cheer, or scream in existential horror.

Yeah, it's just like the vanilla 2ACW, which is...kinda hot garbage, and doesn't reflect the real political situation of the '30s very well. This is (yet another) case where Kaiserreich is orders of magnitude better than the base game. Hell, they even now have distinct tanks with unique descriptions for all the 2ACW factions!Hey at least we got Mondragón rifles and true Mexican planes in the game. I'll take it. However, the whole thing with Trotsky does not sit well with me at all, since it's constitunionally illegal for a foreigner to become ruler of Mexico. And yeah, Trotsky might have been a good general and all, but I doubt he would usurp the power from a Mexican ruler since he himself was denied premiership by Stalin's machinations.
Ideologically, they are mostly still libertarian socialist—the Cuban connection has pushed them a bit in the straight-up communist direction, but overall, the rhetoric is mostly the same. However, the different pressures placed on them ITTL means that practically, the Zapatistas will have to adopt some less-than-libertarian measures to defend themselves and stay independent. (I’ll go into more depth two or three updates from now.)Also if the Zapatistas are not Libertarian Socialist ITTL, what are they? National Socialist? Social anarchism? Communist Monarchist? Capitalist Communist (Also known as State capitalism) Red Fascists? Anarcho-syndicalism? syndicalist? Libertarian Marxism? Anarcho-communism?
Any news on Cardenas?Ideologically, they are mostly still libertarian socialist—the Cuban connection has pushed them a bit in the straight-up communist direction, but overall, the rhetoric is mostly the same.

Three years after Celeste was brutally murdered, Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas is finally ready to emerge from his shell of grief and start influencing the public discourse again. While he doesn't want to run for office again (he fears it might cost him more loved ones), Cárdenas will soon begin publicly criticizing President Bartlett and trying to calm the waters of rebellion by calling on the rebels to lay down their arms and come the negotiating table. This is a good thing, because the Zapatistas recognize only Cárdenas as the legitimate President of Mexico (he was the real winner of the Presidential election, after all), and therefore will only agree to negotiate with him and not representatives of the Bartlett government. The product of these negotiations will be shown within the next few updates.Any news on Cardenas?
AMLO is dead ITTLNow that the Mexican President AMLO has decided to antagonize and radicalize the Zapatistas. How likely is it for Mexico devolve into civil war?
No, I mean in our timeline.AMLO is dead ITTL
Oh, I thought you were asking about this TL. My bad.No, I mean in our timeline.
