That "wot if the SPD defeated Hitler with electoral politics?" game seems off (hexbear.net)

I don't understand the appeal of a revisionist history that absolves the SPD of paving the way for Hitler. Doubly so a revisionist history that somehow, after all the sacrifices and all the horror, pretends that the Nazis could have been defeated with electoral politics.

The very basic premise just sounds like a revisionist re-writing of history to pretend the SPD didn't have a critical role in destroying the "Good Future". It promulgates the idea that fascism can be defeated with liberal electoral BS in what was, historically, the most stern rebuke of liberal democracy in history. I don't get it. Who is this for?

The dev is definitely a commie, the final challenge of the game is a cold war nuclear arms race against the capitalist world, and I'm fairly certain you always end up with socialist state, after a few revolutions. Workers will always rise up no matter how hard you try to stop them rat-salute-2
