¡Oye, comradas! Like you, I was disappointed to learn that the only materialist oligarchy in the game was some kind of nerd huddle of technocrats. To remedy this stark omission, I made a small mod to allow for state socialism in the 20th century, Marx-Lenin-Mao style.

REQUIREMENTS
- some degree of (Dialectical!) Materialist
- some degree of Egalitarian
- no degree of Pacifist
- Vanguard Party civic
VANGUARD PARTY
- Start the game with a powerful Vanguard Faction.
- Can automatically suppress other factions, as well as ban them outright.
- Vanguard Faction Attraction: +50%
- Faction Influence Gain: +50%
DEMOCRATIC CENTRALISM
- A new policy, Faction Activity, allows your empire to automatically suppress all other factions.
- For 100 influence, you can also ban a faction. Pops are tempted to immediately renounce membership from banned factions, and those that remain will eventually also leave or be arrested in the months to follow.
POLITICAL BUREAU
- The government follows the typical oligarchical election pattern.
- The ruler ("Premier") has an agenda.
- Elections every 40 ± 10 years, with emergency elections purchasable for 250 influence points.
- New agenda, Cultural Revolution: +10% Governing Ethics Attraction, -10% Unrest
REEDUCATION THROUGH LABOR
- Reimplemented for 1.5. Currently it occurs when Pops fail to leave a banned faction in time.
- Enslaves Pops and applies a hefty "Governing Ethic Attraction" modifier.
- Reeducation Through Labor can be enabled as a third Slavery policy option in addition to "Allowed" and "Not Allowed."
GULAGS
- Planetary edict designating a planet as a Penal Colony (tech prerequisite: Neural Implants)
- Costs 0.5 Influence per month and 1 Energy Credit per planet tile per month (size 25 planet = 25 Energy Credits per month).
- Convenient way to isolate pops undergoing Reeducation Through Labor, greatly improving the chance of reform as well as curtailing their ability to spread their views to other pops
- Additionally, a new empire policy, Internal Affairs Commissariat (tech prerequisite: Galactic Benevolence), will do the work of moving pops to Penal Colonies with no additional Influence cost for resettlement.
- Pops resistant to Reeducation on Penal Colonies may be given special attention.
- Small chance of catastrophic industrial accidents
INTERSTELLAR REVOLUTIONARIES
- An AI personality that occurs among socialist states.
- More likely to occur when the empire also has the Xenophile or Militarist ethic.
- Least likely to occur when the empire also has the Xenophobe ethic.
- Turns Liberation war demands into workers' liberations: Upon winning a war, the new empire has a Vanguard Faction installed and becomes a de-facto proxy of liberating empire.
- Hates capitalists, aristocrats, bourgeois democrats, and theocrats.
