Oh yeah, they do call Kaiserreich “the syndie mod”. And, like, I was never really a syndicalist, but I did love the C.N.T-F.A.I in my teenage anarchist phase. So yeah I like syndicalism in political games even now.
Oh, yeah. Communist China is a fun one to play in a lot of these political games. I will say, I personally like unconventional and ahistorical commie paths a lot more than the mostly-historical ones or alternate ideologies for actual socialist states. A good test of a “Leftist Mod” for a game like this is the quality/existence of the ahistorical communist paths. I do like both wildly implausible ones and ones that follow the communist tendency actually popular in that country at that time frame, though. And I always like a good implausible an-com or syndie power-fantasy path, because when I play political games, I’m very much still my twelve year old self.
There was a good HOI4 mod that had a good communist Japan path. I’ll have to dig it up and check it out but it was really neat since the base-game communist Japan path is very scarce and justifiably very hard to do.
Ooh, fun. I must admit, communist Britain is a personal favourite of mine for its sheer implausibility - commie America is fun for the same reasons, but decently written commie Britain is a little bit rarer, so it’s always neat.
Try Kaiserreich, play the LKMT, get ready to do a lot of reading.
Ahh, commies and doing a lot of reading. Like cheese on pizza!
(I’ve seen Kaiserreich recommended a lot by other commies. Good leftist paths?)
Some very good ones, especially with the recent overhauls for a lot of Syndicalist nations. China especially got a lot of love from the dev team.

Yeah, communism in vanilla HOI4 is just often a let down in general.
They have an extremely detailed path for communist Britain, France, America and Italy, and most major nations in the game have the option.
