it can do that, which is why in Vic3 right now communism is "overpowered" because it's simply the best option
But the way you change how a player approaches a game is mostly through changing their objective. In Vic3 your objective is to take care of the nation as a whole - but what if your objective was just to see to the happiness and political control of a single class? Put the player in the role of the bourgeoisie and they'll make different decisions, which could be the next level of improving Vic3's political simulation (not that I think Paradox will actually go that route).

Wouldn't this just be a railroad to fascism for the ultimate victory of the bourgeoisie and a railroad to communism for the ultimate victory of the prole?
My fear with this is encouraging accelerationism via game mechanic is not necessarily a good outcome for us other than forcing many of its players to ask themselves some questions about moralising.
