Basically every fort is more or less communist up until the economy arrives.

A common enough mistake, but WRONG.

Basically every fort is more or less communist up until the economy arrives.

I turned off economy. I hate it no matter what I'm doing in my fort.

Mod in dwarven vodka.  Keep a large government area off in one corner where you keep your favorite dwarves and they sit around and do nothing except hold parties all day.

Also, remember to bring lots of picks.

Note "communist" not "Authoritarian Socialist".

Most people are unaware how vastly the two differ.

Both ideas suck, but best not to confuse them

Socialism is where the term 'card-carrying communist' comes from. A card-carrying communist is not actually a communist, but a socialist in disguise.

Communism is where everone is equal, from the rulers to the lowest peasant. Nobody actually 'owns' anything; everyone owns it.

Socialism is the train of thought wherein doing 'good' things for your country gets you higher in the social order, allows you to own more land, bigger house, earn more, etc.

Sorry, I may have mislead you all.

This isn't going to be a fort that will strictly adhere to communistic ideals, it's just that every dwarf will be equal.

That's why I put quotes around Communist, since it isn't actually communist, it's just very similar.

so it's going to be an mesbuthist fortress?

besides, we need leftist ideals, it's what the western countries are built on

[Haven]

Heh. Left. West.

Though I did want to see the Absurdly Communist Dwarven Enclave.
