Can't unlock Mazovian Socio-Economics thought option despite picking every communist dialogue option

[vram1974]

For some reason, I did unlock Jamais Vu, the fascist pathway. I opted in by mistake but didn't internalize it but it's making me think I soft-locked myself from getting communism.

Can anyone confirm I soft locked myself and should restart the game?

Jamais Vu isn't the fascist pathway -- that's Revacholian Nationhood -- but neither of them is mutually exclusive with Mazovian Socio-Economics. There should be a Rhetoric orb that shows up after you get 4 communism points. (Not all communist dialogue options count as decision points, so just double check your character tab.)

That's not to say it might not be bugged. The last few updates after they fired the original lead devs broke a lot of things, including things that had previously been fixed.

Thanks for the answer. I tried a bunch more communist dialogue options and it just wasn't showing up so I re-rolled a new game. I went directly to people I knew had communist dialogue and the Mazovian Socio-Economics rhetoric orb popped within 30 minutes!

Who knows what happened haha
