Hearts of Iron 4 Challenge: Peaceful Trotsky - Communist world, no attacking.

My Patreon: / taureor
Get the game here (my Paradox affiliate link, Steam keys): paradoxinteractive.pxf.io/tau...
The challenge is to play as the USSR and make the world communist peacefully. We have to convert all the major powers to the communism, but we are not allowed to attack anyone. We will have to take use boosting ideology and intervene in civil wars. We will also bring Trotsky back.
Rules:
- Play as the Soviet Union
- Make all the major powers communist, annex, or subjugate them
- Not allowed to declare war on anyone
- Ironman
What did I do wrong, what did I do right? What should my next challenge be. Let me know in the comments.

[@KlaustheViking]

@JL-CptAtom The ad hominem is a derogatory term that Jewish people use against non-Jews and you use it in a post-ironic sense. You dont like what you think is going on and you think its all the Jews, like other crazy wannabe neo-nazis believe. I didnt say your sources were wrong, just that they are fringe politics that ride on the train of some sort of ethno-nationalism, believeing that, "The Jews are trying to replace us" (with the whole mass immigration into Europe and so on). To say that the global elite is manipulating the world is a generalized truth... but saying its all the Jews, is moronic. Even if some are Jewish, that doesnt make it a 100% Jewish plot to enslave the world.

One thing to have made your strategy better.. The UK has 'Scandinavian Intervention' as a focus and they are way more likely to intervene there than Iraq in my games. And, the Soviet Union's 'Baltic Security' focus gives +0.10 Communist pressure to Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark. Since these are the only countries the Soviet Union can increase communist popularity on through focuses, this would have been the better strategy had you needed it. But a good video anyway, I like the odd political maneuvering challenge.

Play as Greece and try rebuilding Alexander's Macedonian empire with the borders it had at its peak (or as close as possible), but you are not allowed to use an airforce or motorised units, just infantry and cavalry divisions, and of course your navy, like good old Ancient Greece. To make it a bit harder you're not allowed to puppet countries and intergrate them later, whatever territory you take, you take for good (but you are allowed to make puppets of other countries and join factions).
