Communism is not appearing

[Anastasius]

With the intention to become the Great Soviet Union I started as Russia,trying to be as despotic as possible so the communist revolution would kick in as soon as possible. But behold my luck the year is 1878 and there is NO signs of communism whatsoever in the world!!! Usually when I try to play as an evil German empire that wants to remain an absolute monarchy and conquer the world I'm swarmed by communists but now,no sign of the event that usually occurs after 1865 as it is stated in the game files. This is a vanilla game so no mods are present at all.. What is happening?

Any nation in the world needs to research Revolution and Counter Revolution(the tech above Nationalism and Imperialism) to enable Communism and with it the inevitable massive Communist rebellions.

Well looking around other nations the UK seems to have researched Revolution and counter revolution already

}

So apparently it is not THAT late,I guess in previous games I was just lucky (or sometimes not) that it popped out earlier,or it might have been due to the POP demand mod that I played more often has it differently. We shall see,if still nothing happens until 1880 I will manually run the event.

You need more patience.

You need more patience.

Well I waited until 1881 and just manually activated the event for the UK (since they have all the research for it completed) I get that the poor_strata_life_needs = 0.95 is a much bigger factor and the MTTH is low. But from the activation of the ideology and a large scale revolution it takes time,and I always feel stressed that the game will just end too soon with 1935. Much to do,little time.

No Communism is Best Communism.

I am imagining in that game, Karl Marx died early so other people theorized Communism later.
