    I. NO INVESTIGATION, NO RIGHT TO SPEAK

    Unless you have investigated a problem, you will be deprived of the right to speak on it. Isn’t that too harsh? Not in the least. When you have not probed into a problem, into the present facts and its past history, and know nothing of its essentials, whatever you say about it will undoubtedly be nonsense. Talking nonsense solves no problems, as everyone knows, so why is it unjust to deprive you of the right to speak? Quite a few comrades always keep their eyes shut and talk nonsense, and for a Communist that is disgraceful. How can a Communist keep his eyes shut and talk nonsense?

    It won’t do!

    It won’t do!

    You must investigate!

    You must not talk nonsense!


  • US playing The New Order: Last Days of Europe and going for a Hermann Goring run

    Context

    It’s an alt-history Hearts of Iron 4 mod. One of the paths for Germany is Hermann Goring becoming the chancellor, in which case he turns the country’s entire economy into a Ponzi scheme that can only be maintained through constant expansion and plunder. There’s no way to win on this path - either one of your invasions stalls long enough to implode your economy, or your only remaining targets are nuclear powers, invading whom triggers a nuclear holocaust.
