I know it have a whole mechanic around material conditions and radicalism, like do you have to deliberately make things shitty for the working class? Can the middle class become fascist if their conditions deteriorates too?

    I've heard it described as a "decent historical materialism simulator," so you just have to go through those steps. Subsistence farmers -> proletariat, the in-game dialectic of industrializing economically and liberalizing politically. This is entirely vibes-based and could be wrong, but the developers have spoken before about how (despite personal right-leaning politics) they used Marxism to "fill in the blanks," between their liberal understanding of history as discreet events and people.

    I also haven't played enough, gotta waste work time now though
