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?

    Gotta get a lot of labourers, and slowly change the laws to increase the franchise. By necessity this will require coddling the Intelligentsia and the Industrialists, who initially have a lot in common with the labourers.

    But as you develop and the Labourers gain population and power the cracks in the anti-Landowner/Church/Aristo/Military alliance start to show.

    In my games the Trade Unions went Succ Dem, and then after they became dominant the Military decided communism was for them. Not seen our Anarchist comrades yet.

    One thing is that while the Industrialists may well revolt, by the time they do revolution is almost a formality. You change the government to a council republic once enough politically active people want it.
