Army Revolts

[MascarenhasMoraes]

So, playing as Russia and it`s about 1890.
I`m doing pretty well, 10% taxes for both higher and middle strata, starting to get in the edge of some techs, most powerful army, 3rd navy, 4rd industry but sky-rocketing and will soon be 3rd and 2nd, average militancy 1,5%, #3 GP

But......

Have only been able to pass 1 reform (the first voting one) so far, and now anarcho liberals won`t stop spamming, and commies are starting to do so as well. And the most annoying thing is that some of my brigades are adering, so every time I need to be build new ones to substitute the ones who rebelled, what turns out to be too much micro-management.

How can I make it stop?

Raise con... and literacy of poor strata, I would say. It may be helpful to lower taxes for them so they get more needs and some will get con thanks to this.
What is your current con and literacy of poor strata?

Consciousness raises militancy...

literacy raises consciousness...

basically, raise militancy and consciousness to high levels. Do NOT suppress any movements (except for national movements). Switch parties often to raise militancy. Then start passing reforms.

My average Con is 2,30 and literacy 63%... but most of the angry jacobin population is 10-50% literate and 10 Con.
Now I got a 248 brigades jacobin revolt incoming (already 75% strength), would it help short term to enact the westernizer party immediately ?

negative, didn`t work... revolt still grew and achieved 300 brigades, and it will have more than 400 when it happens...
Tried to raise pop mil, hit 6% but still can`t enact any reform.
Looks like I`m doomed and there is no scape.

Liberalism and socialism must be totally overwhelmed by their radical cousins!

How does that not work!?!?! If there are so many rebellions, there should be greater movements so militancy should force the conservatives to pass reforms! Try tripling your consciousness, that guarantees large movements.

I don't know why you can't pass anything with 6% militancy.. Its very strange...
If you let the Jacobins take your capital they will pass reforms.
And get you some War Exhaustion and militancy. Break all your diplomatic contacts.
Maybe it is still worth it though .

Naaaaah I think I`ll destroy them in this big civil war and just keep on, seems like the only reasonable way for me.

If you still have Absolute Monarchy, I would let the Jacobins siege your capital.

Free reforms, less emigration, happier people,and more.

If you still have an appointed upper house it's very important to avoid +reactionary choices for upper strata in events. How many reactionaries do you have in your upper house?

Only 2,4%, but it`s Landed Voting.

I have had similar issues recently as Texas, with a male population of around 500k, and 300k of them being communist rebels. Looking through the possible reforms there isn't anyone particular that people want, something like 5% wanting minimum wages, 3% wanting to outlaw slavery and 3% wanting more voting rights and every other reform desire in low single digits. Militancy among these guys was insane, and the issues they had was mostly baseline political like protectionism, planned economy etc.

I then came to the conclusion that these guys don't want any reform in particular besides a cool commie flag and mandatory "comrade" greetings for everyone.

However, i understand that these guys won't push for reform in the parliament as they along with AnCap, Reactionary and others shun the parliament and prefer revolution, therefore their parties have like 5% in UH but can have 50% or more in the population.

I suggest you try to raise militancy even higher to be able to force some random reform that might cool them off, that is how i dealt with most of them for a while at least.

Reactionaries are good because they can repeal reforms which drop militancy .

Landed Voting has nothing to do with the Upper House.
