chud because stellaris is the only game on this list that i’ve played :( (apart from briefly touching fifa). don’t get why cod gets to avoid being in chudslop while stellaris is there (i guess cuz hurrdurr let’s genocide the galaxy types).

nah his party platform actually strictly recognizes the sovereignty of the Sahel states and is intent on getting rid of the cfa franc. in addition to a plan of leaving NATO as others have mentioned. so this isn’t socdem stuff we’re talking about here. i do have some critiques of his party’s platform and rhetoric - such as labelling the islamic republic of Iran a “regime” (e.g. “ni shah ni mollah” from manon aubry). and i am somewhat skeptical of the feasibility of the electoral path to socialism. but france has some advantages allende’s chile didn’t have. there is still indeed a level of “i’ll believe it when i see it” for france actually joining the socialist and anti-imperialist road here but melenchon is legit

Are you still working on this worldbuilding project? I enjoyed reading through all of it. I don’t think I have ever encountered fiction that even considers or mentions a possible future decolonized Turtle Island. The closest is Kim Stanley Robinson’s alt hist that has a Haudenosaunee federation. Would love to see some maps of this world if you have any.
