So in normal gameplay the peasants are very politically inactive and are very reactionary by default, and to radicalize the people the game expects you to proletarize the people first by industrializing and not doing reforms. But on twitter I've seen people saying that the peasants are the ones who form communist party in their game, while in my games the trade unionists (urban proletariats) often ends up being socdems with the intelligentsia instead. What steps am I missing?

I actually triggered an organic Revolution of 1848 (by 1846) in my last Prussia run through a combination of high taxes, events favoring the industrialists, and, of all things, enacting colonial policies. The spiral started with the Rural Folk and my attempts to stamp it out made the Intelligentsia, Evangelicals, and Petty Bourgeoisie all increasingly pissed at me until I provoked an outbreak by refusing to reform suffrage.
Yeah I as Germany I tried to enact colonial policies and the Junkers and Peasants started a revolution
Which is weird, because the default Hegemony tutorial quest is "begin colonizing," but that makes people pissed as hell
