Marxist-Leninist Theory:
Marxist-Leninist is defined in the Death of Hope Mod as "A one-party socialist state, commonly referred to by Western academics as communist state, to establish the dictatorship of the proletariat."

Supreme Soviet of the CCCP - Union of Soviet Socialist Republics:
In 1918, the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic was declared and ruled by Vladimir Lenin as an opposing force to the Tsarist Regime and eventually, the Provisional Government of Russia (White Army). By 1921, the Russian S.F.S.R. had won but with a cost of countless lives. In the same year, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics or CCCP, was declared after the invasion of Turkistan and Kazakhstan. By end of the 1920's, Vladimir Lenin had died, resulting in a power struggle between Joseph Stalin and Leon Trotsky. In the end, Stalin had won and Leon Trotsky fled the nation along with a moderate amount of supporters. The new Soviet regime imposed an era of terror and modernization. Through countless 5 year plans, the nation industrialized at the cost of millions of lives and the standards of living. In 1936, Stalin's paranoia eventually caught up to him and in the same year, the dictator would purge millions around the nation to get rid of any threat that poses a danger to him. This came with the cost of the efficiency of the Red Armed Forces. In 1939, a ultimatum was sent to Finland which was ultimately refused, resulting in war. The Red Army marched into Finland, getting decimated by the small contingency forces. Stalin removed the head-commander of the operation, replacing him but the damage had been done. The Red Army was seen as a laughing-stock both to Finland and the German Reich. Eventually, the Winter War ended with a Soviet Victory. By this time, the Armed Forces started to recover and adapt from both the purges and the fight in Finland. In mid-1941, the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was broken when Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe Forces marched into the Soviet Union. Kiev, Minsk, Riga, Tallinn, Kursk, and Baku all fell to combined Axis forces by the winter of 1941. The Soviet Command urged the Southern Front to counterattack. Although the attack had breached Axis lines in the Caucasus, heavy casualties and mutinies forced the attack to be called off mid-way. In early-1942, the Eastern Front had been gripped in stalemate. With Baku lost, the Red Army had virtually no armored support and in July of the same year, the Wehrmacht took advantage of the weakness. With the grain from Ukraine and the oil from Baku lost, the Red Army was poorly equipped and fed. Mutiny and revolt in the Red Army became widespread and after the encirclement of Leningrad, open skirmishes between the NKVD occurred across the entire front. The command-structure of the Red Army broke down after several generals were killed by their own armies. In the summer of 1942, the German OKW launched mass assaults against the Soviet lines. Within days, Moscow came 20 miles from the front lines. The Government in Moscow fled after a large number of divisions along the center front defected to the German side. Stalin stayed in Moscow, hoping a counterattack from Georgy Zhukov's and Ivan Konev's armies could hold defenses. Due to the dwindling resources, the poorly equipped armies were breached by spearheads from the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Panzer Armies. Moscow was flanked and encircled with Joseph Stalin still in the capital. In the dawn of night, Stalin along with a detachment of NKVD officers left in disguise towards Kazan where a new, provisional government could be established. The lines of the Red Army were in anarchy as several NKVD and Red Armies crossed paths, fighting each other. The remnants of the Soviet High Command along with NKVD arrived in Kazan to discuss the situation. Archangel was at risk of falling, the Kazakh SSR was being swiftly invaded, and Moscow had fallen. By 1943, the Soviet Government clung onto power. With the remnants of the Red Army remaining loyal to the Supreme Soviet, the front between the Reich was secured. In late-1943, the NKVD was spot deploying rapid movements around the Provisional Government in Kazan. Before action could be taken, the NKVD had put Joseph Stalin under warrant of arrest. Within the same day, Joseph Stalin was executed before the NKVD 3rd and 5th NKVD Rifle Divisions scattered off into groups isolated in the Russian wasteland. Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and several ASSR's in the nation split off, declaring regional independence. A 2nd provisional Supreme Soviet was established on February 23rd, 1944. On order of Premier Georgy Malenkov, Internal Affairs Minister Lavrentiy Beria and Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov, the armies along the German-front were given autonomy and encouraged to follow guerrilla tactics. By 1951, it had been finally announced that the war had been won by leader of the Reich, Adolf Hitler. Although an official peace treaty had never been signed, the war in the East had gone quiet. By 1970, the CCCP sits on atop the decayed ruins of cities. stretching from Penza to Perm, the nation's cities literally start to crumble as maintenance has been neglected in order to fuel the ever growing war economy, gearing up for war of national liberation.

Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party - Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army
In 1921, the 1st Communist National Congress was held. By 1933, the Communist Supporters were purged from the Kuomintang Chinese Territory. The remaining number of Communists travel thousands of miles to final reach Xi'an. By 1939, the Republic of China had been at war with Japan for years. As the Japanese Armies stream rolled across the Chinese countryside and the fall of Nanjing to the Empire of Japan occured, the Communist forces in Xi'an made the decision to form a Chinese United Front against the Japanese and their collaborators. Unfortunately, the Chinese were alone and the industry of the west had fallen. It was a matter of time before they would lose. In 1943, the Japanese Armies finally reached Sichuan. The Indochinese and Chinese Fronts were connected, providing a large tactical advantage for the Japanese. In the Republic of China, a National Revolutionary Army Coup took control of the government, effectively turning the Kuomintang remnant forces into a stratocracy. In the Communist-controlled territories, the de facto leader, Mao Zedong took control of the committee, suspending it up until 1970. By 1970, the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army has amassed an army of 900,000. Although poorly equipped, the army is ready to fight tooth-and-nail for the liberation of the homeland. Large numbers of farmers fled to the nation after the disastrous effects of the 6 year plans within the Reformed Kuomintang. The future of the nation and government is uncertain as different factions form ranging from the Progressives to the hardliners.

First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba - Republic of Cuba
In 1959, the Military Junta of Cuba was overthrown by the Marxist-Leninist Dictatorship led under de facto leader Fidel Castro. In 1960, the president abdicated, leading the way for Fidel Castro to become the president of Cuba. In 1961, the American Ambassador to Havana was able to secure a deal. The Republic of Cuba would be admitted into NATO in return of the United States and their allies recognizing the regime as official and legitimate. President Kennedy agreed, stabbing the exiled members of the former-cuban government in the back. In 1962, Cuba played the crucial role of being the launch point for the Yucatan Coup. All did not go well as the U.S. Airforce withdrew from Mexican Airspace, fearing it could escalate the situation. By 1965, the Cuban Economy became largely dependent on U.S. loans but by 1968, the money dried up and the debt racked up to billions. Castro made the decision to liberalize the economy for the time being to get the crippling debt and poverty issues solved. By 1970, Cuba has started to pick up again with the first 5 year plan being planned later that year.

Communist Party of the Philippines - Democratic People's Republic of the Philippines
In 1930, the Communist Party of the Philippines-1930 was founded on the platform of social and economic reform to help the masses. Although it gained support in local communities, the party was largely unsuccessful. By 1950 however, the Philippines remained under a strict Military Administration supported by the United States. In 1957, Ferdinand Marcos seized power of the national government, declaring the military junta had been dismantled and an independent Philippines would be established. The people of the nation rejoiced but not for long. By 1959, the new government had mimicked it's predecessor and in some ways, was much more oppressive. After riots in Manilla and other major cities, martial law was declared. The Republic of the Philippines was now proclaimed as the "State of the Philippines" and the president role became empowered to a point where the nation was totalitarian in nature. During this period of time, the Communist Party of the Philippines under Luis Taruc became popular even within the capital, Manilla. In 1960, a protest in Manilla resulted in the deployment of the military and the subsequent death of 109 protestors. By the next day, a mass of over 10,000 people marched in the streets, demanding the resignation of the dictator. The military was called in once again but when ordered to fire upon the crowd, much were overwhelmed by the sheer number of people and others defected to the crowd, seeing the cruel practices used to cling onto power. The president's house was raided by countless protesters and the president along with his wife was escorted out of the house where they were hanged shortly after. The United States soon intervened, replacing the presidency with a council of parties. One included in the council was the Communist Party. A vote was held on June 6th, 1961 to dictate the course of the nation and in a resounding number, the Communist Party won with nearly 60% of the vote going to them. The United States Government intervened once again, stating that a provisional Republican Government would be installed. The people of the Philippines soon declared a people's revolution with Jose Maria Sison as the new head of state and Luis Taruc as the secretary-general of the party. The new Republican Government along with United States support pushed Communist Militias out of Manilla and into the mountains. By 1964, the United States introduced a new policy of intervention within the Philippines, seeing it as a valuable asset due to it's close proximity to Japan as well as the U.S. Military and Airforce Base near the center of Manilla. By 1967, over 549,500 America Troops were stationed within the Philippines. By the start of the Robert Kennedy Administration, the Republicanist Forces had been pushed back in the Manilla Advance all they way back to the regions surrounding the capital of Manilla. In 1969, a unsuccessful marine assault of Palawan effectively resulted in the approval rating of Robert Kennedy's Administration plummeting. By 1970, Manilla is within artillery distance and the American President wishes to pull out of Vietnam but has been effectively stopped due to the uproar that would come from both the Dixiecrats and Segregationist Republicans. The Woodstock Massacre, the War in the Philippines, and economic instability has resulted in the United States becoming a land of poverty and the death of hope for any future plans of a bright future to America. The war in the Philippines has resulted in a wakeup call for America and the advancement of technologies such as the helicopter. Within the Communist-Controlled Territory of the Philippines, Agent Orange has been sprayed on much of the wildlife to stop the effective tactics of guerilla warfare used by the communist militias. This arsenic has also come at the cost of human lives and the suffering of many. Although classified by the American public, the people of the Philippines has been ravaged by it, leading to the unborn getting birth defects and crops within the nation to effectively die, causing a horrible famine within the nation.
