HOI isn't woke, but it is operating from a neo-liberal paradigm.

It still assumes that Trotsky (head of the Red Army during the inter-war years which attempted to conquer the independence movements from Russia and subjugate Berlin under Communist rule; who repeatedly recommended mass international terrorism to create Communist revolutions everywhere), would lead the Democratic-Socialist faction of Russia and take a more assertive stance to preserve peace.

Nope, he probably wouldn't have waited as long to invade Germany as Stalin did. That's why he got an ice pick.
