    I wonder if the country you pick influences it at all. The only time in my playthroughs where the trade unionists went fascist was when I played Italy. It was also when most of the world was in my customs union and I had free trade. I had a ton of petit bourgeoisie in the country because of all the trade centers and my capitalists were beyond rich. Whereas when I've done countries like afghanistan, sokoto, new grenada, as well as sweeden the trade unionists are always far left. It seems like there is a connection but idk. All you can tell from the game is that there is definitely chance involved.

      Played as Germany, my Trade unions got ethnonationalist, so I had to win civil war with communist-led intelligentsia, vanguardist-hed armed forces and anarchist-led rural folk, lmao.

        Communist intelligencia?? I got anarchist, social democrat, liberal, but never vanguardist! The idea of a bunch of students in arguing about how their professors are two self important and comfortable to be revolutionaries, just as their professors run by with AKs and molotovs

          Two-thirds of my generals were communists or vanguardists too. Probably because I got an event that increased probability of leftist characters.
