So this made me think of a new way to do a communism. Build up a huge military and keep it somewhat secret, but be friendly to foreign investors so that they open tons of industry in your country. When you are satisfied, nationalize all these industries. Obviously the country will declare war on you (in game or irl) but because you have a huge military you fight them off and take over their country too! Reverse imperialism.

Probably won't work in Vicky 3. The industries foreign investors would be after would likely just be extractive, and due to slow pop growth (or even decline) in smaller, poorer countries, the interest groups you need to go commie (trade unions, mostly) won't be able to get big enough. IMO this new DLC is largely the devs just throwing up their hands and giving up because they STILL can't get countries to extract oil on their own in the late-game.
