lol yeah if you had any core territory you don't occupy in vic2 (bare in mind loads of provinces have cores of multiple nations on em) it'd be fascism time for you as soon as it developed. with that said (and admittedly without playing it), it is weird & utopian that in vic3 you can go communist entirely through reform with no armed opposition whatsoever. like, even if you successfully Allende your own nation, there's gonna be external interests trying to put you down
