Party: La Casa Nostra - Centralist Clique

Ideology: Mafioso Socialism^note

In-Game Biography: ^{Click to Show}

• Allohistorical Allusion: Capone purges Smedley Butler by forcing him to confess that he was plotting with a group of industrialists and business magnates to overthrow Capone. In real life, the Business Plot was described by Butler as a fascist veterans' organisation formed by rich businessmen for a coup against President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
• But Not Too Foreign: Both of Capone's parents were immigrants from Italy, and he can take advantage of his heritage to establish closer ties with Benito Mussolini's or Calogero Vizzini's Socialist Republic of Italy.
• The Don: A prominent mobster, Capone recruits all kinds of criminals into the ranks of the CSA, and turn the CSA into a Mafioso State if he becomes Chairman.
• Full-Circle Revolution: If Capone becomes Chairman of the CSA, the workers of America will only find themselves at square one, with Capone's criminal allies being as oppressive as the bourgeoisie used to be.
• Hookers and Blow: As his mental state degrades, Capone's quotidian parties get more and more out of hand. Over time, reports of these parties get more and more disturbing, including events such as sexual assault, regular assault, and people dying during the party from a drug overdose.
• Not in This for Your Revolution: Capone pledges allegiance to the CSA soon after it rebels against the federal government. In truth he doesn't actually give a sh*t about socialism, and only seeks to further his own power and that of the mob.
• The Purge: Chairman Capone will ban both the AFL and the IWW and remove all of their members from positions of power, and snuff out any signs of dissent to his rule in the armed forces.
• Richard Nixon, the Used Car Salesman: As infamous a mobster the real Capone was, he never had a real political career.
• Secret Police: In order to secure his position and hunt down reactionaries, Chairman Capone will form a secret police force known as the Revolutionary Office of Strategic Services. Political Commissars patrol the ranks, ready to snuff out any whispers of disloyalty, and every day they come out with new lists of traitors to the revolution.
• Totalitarian Gangsterism: Under the façade of socialism, Chairman Capone will turn the CSA into a Mafioso State. As they reign, the mobs institute harsh protection rackets on citizens under their rule and get rid of those who do not pay up with little repercussions. Businessmen grow increasingly wealthy through price gouging, actively helped by the government fixing high prices for everyday goods. Every man, woman and child in America lives in fear, fear of Capone and the ROSS. Social Credit scores, which are completely arbitrary and awarded solely based on loyalty to the Boss, allow people to economically drain theose with lower Social Credit scores.
• Villain with Good Publicity: Capone has cultivated an image through careful good deeds such as providing jobs for the jobless and opening Soup Kitchens for the hungry, creating an image as a great man of the people and a Socialist saviour of America.
• Whole-Plot Reference: Capone's path is basically one big reference to Kim Newman's Back in the USSA series, where he succeeds Eugene Debs as leader of America following a socialist revolution.

• Token Good Teammate: Downplayed, Torrio is one of the better members of the Mafioso and can lead to more liberal-minded reforms and create a market socialist styled government instead of the capitalistic psuedo-socialist system. However these reforms are very much In Name Only and don't change much, and are largely only to get the people on the idea of liberalized Mobster Populism so they'll like their oppressors more.
