GRU - Expanding the syndicalist options.

[Hawkatana]

If the Internationale (or another Syndicalist state/states) manages to defeat Germany in the Weltkrieg, they will transition to the Deutsche Sozialistische Republik (German Socialist Republic).

Within the DSR are four major factions:

• The Councilists (Syndicalists) lead by Otto Rühle are mostly based around both Anarcho-Syndicalism and Council Communism. The Councilists are the most pro-Internationale faction in Germany, and seek to establish a true workers' democracy in Germany through Syndicalism.
• The Maximists (Totalists) under Joseph Goebbels are inspired heavily by Oswald Mosley's Totalist Charter. Ultranationalist, authoritarian, xenophobic and displaying a thinly-veiled hatred of France and the rest of the Internationale, Goebbels is known for strong-arming his political opponents, fostering a cult of personality, and is rumoured to have ambitions to have Germany strike out on their own.
• The Internationalists (RadSoc) with their leader Karl Liebknecht are Classical Marxists who argue they're the closest to Marx's vision for socialism, and by extension communism. They're rather infamous for being stuck up ideological purists who see Syndicalism as "a distraction from true class consciousness", though they're willing to work with the Internationale for now to continue the international revolution.
• Paul Levi and the Social Democrat Party (SocDem) are the reformist faction in the DSR. Due to the militant takeover of the German Empire, the SPD are the most popular of the socialist factions in Germany, which has lead to attempts of supression by the Internationale. The SPD are pacifist in nature, and seek to achieve a detente with the capitalist world.

I'm suggesting these changes on account of the German puppet feeling incredibly bare-bones despite being a version of the country that the very mod is based around and named after. I know there are more non-Socialist options for puppet Germany that I can't think of right now, but this is what I've come up with.

Also, thanks for making this game & putting up with our bullshit, I really appreciate it.

Germany is subject to a rework, with this tag being looked at. Thanks for the suggestion.
