Unable to justify war as French Commune?

[Cabadam]

I have defeated Germancy/Italy (puppeted them), am now looking to expand to other parts of Europe. UK invited me to Allies, so I'm thinking Netherlands would be a nice target - they'll get no help from Allies. Except... the game won't let me justify war? I am definitely Communist. Any ideas?

I believe that you are limited by the government type of the faction leader.

It doesn't help you now, but I believe you can cheese this by finishing your war goal justification before you join the Allies, join the Allies, then declare war on the Netherlands.

Huh, well that would certainly make sense, and definitely unfortunate. Puts the breaks on my plans for European domination. I have to go finish out the war with Japan (wasn't part of Axis) so I can drop Allies...

Thanks!
