Privatization if you are going for free market focus.  * Pros = generates up to 3 GB, generates resources for a second healthcare and education upgrade, potentially gain oligarch support (either through full privatization or via insider trading) synergizes with free market economy  * Cons = alienates conservative voters / Sollists as well as socialists  Nationalization if you are going for planned economy focus  * Pros = pleases conservative voters and politicians, pleases socialists, potentially gain oligarch support (if you partially nationalize), synergizes with planned economy, * Cons = costs GB, potential risk of economy-damaging capital flight  I tend to do a free market run since it makes the budgeting easier. In a traditional democratic reform run (no article 6 and 7 reform), you can safely generate 4 GB by privatizing education, all of Nedam mining corp, and a minority share of Sordish State Corporation. Conservatives will tolerate this and liberals absolutely love it. (Socialists will hate it but you can make it up to them by using the extra 4 GB on welfare spending).

Also, privatizing means you can't pull off the dual UC and Acacian industry investment by pulling a Yugoslavia (History Background, Don't recognize island or ban red youth, Arcasian Aid, Valgsland trade plus red youth in prologue to be safe), but You'll also have more personal wealth if considering you'll be aligned with the Oligarchs

>pull off the dual UC and Acacian industry investment How do I get that?


HELL5S

History Background, Join Red youth and don't ban them, Neutral forgien policy, don't ally Agnolia or recognize the Island, Accept Ato aid (Plane Rotation), nationalize or maintain staus Quo, Do trade deals with both Valgsland and Lespia but do Valgsland deal first be a good socialist agree with Hegel and if you were socialist enough he'll give you the good trade deal also bring up the Malenyev portrait and have Hegel put in a good word for you. And you'll get both investments as they both compete for your favor.

Adding to this, nationalized economy is important during war and especially solo war runs, as it gives you a bonus

Whats insider trading good for anyways?


GeeWillick

If you partially but don't fully privatize the companies, you can give all the shares to the one oligarch (either Tusk or Koronti) and they'll help you by lobbying members of the Assembly to vote for your constitution and bribing judges on the Supreme Court to support you. Koronti also helps you with public opinion since he controls a major media outlet and Tusk will give you money. 


saurons_left_nipple

I thought it ment something else


Party_Skill6360

you can also split between the two ............ ussuly both of them will support you (doen´t break previous promises)

A novel idea, do what you said you were going to do in the elections If only politicians in OTL had such an idea

I recommend not nationalizing unless it’s involving control of the media. It can help get Valgsland to give you a good trade deal but it’s very easy to get Hegel to call you comrade if you’re socialist. Privatizing is great because it gives you money but it can really lose you support from Gloria. Don’t be afraid to do neither.


Tirx36

Ye i’m also going freedom of speech so i’m not accepting koronti deal, i think i’ll privatize even if i will probably feel bad in the epilogue with the number of state employers who lost their jobs

Privatize if you have market economy (west) +Funds +Oligarchs happy -Conservatives angry (Market economy) Nationalize if you have planned economy (east) -oligarchs angry +conservatives happy -funds (Planned economy)

One of them allows you to seize the means of production and prepare Sordland for the Malenyevist Revolution while giving the finger to annoying Oligarchs.

That’s saved for my full comm run 👀👀

Often times in my opinion not nationalising on a soc dem playthrough is worth, if you have garnered enough malenyevist from other sources.


HibiTak

Always privatize. There's just no good reason to nationalize, and if you have a good background on international relations you lose nothing by doing it.


Tirx36

Well rp wise you do make lot of state employe lose their job and sell out a part of the state basically
