Centrum did not come into existence from a lower class revolt and does not subvert new acquisitions by inciting such revolutions. Instead it takes over and remakes from the top down, the opposite of what Marxist theory extols. They are acutely aware that creating a new regime through successful rebellion only increases the likelihood of future rebellions. It's not that Centrum isn't functionally a lot like an idealized communist dictatorship. But ideologically it's significantly different
