Got this game on sale for 5 dollah because everyone talks about how vicky 3 is this big communism builder, but I just started the game and I’m so confused.

Like, are petit-bourgeoisie proles in this game that I have to align with? Should I support Agrarian peasants who want monarchich order. I’m playing as Mexico in the ‘Egalitarian’ challenges, succesfully defended Texas from the evil American hordes and my sights set on American states

    so an easy way to get a communist leader of the TUs is actually to have a communist general that is part of the TUs.

    Kind of want to focus on this route as I build the NorthAmUSSR. Right now, with Mexico in the initial phase, my government is made up of reactionaries and anyone remotely left wing (intelligentisia, agrarians) hates me.

    Is it possible to have catholics, petit-bouge, landowners, AF, all in tow to make a 75% majority in government and still veer towards communism later on?

      Yup, Alaskaball already described this process in detail, but the gist of it is you will have an almost all reactionary government at the beginning of the game in almost all countries. As you develop further, the landowners will lose influence as their base of power becomes diluted by industrialists owning more of the means of production. It’s worth checking in on your government every few years to see how the IG power percentages have changed. As you play the game more you’ll get a feeling for how close you are to being ready for enacting the council republic law. Definitely just focus on building up your industry like I mentioned in my first post.

      Edit: the religious IG can be made pretty irrelevant if you change the PMs for the cities/universities/government admin buildings.
