. . . This is news to you?

Come on, you've been playing this game awhile, haven't you?  You should know the economy is broken in DF.  It's got its own arc on the dev page, even.

Edit:  That would be the caravan arc, though it'd still not be a real economy.  What can you expect?  It's complimacated.

Um, i think you've missed the point of my post. Everything except the image in the spoiler is meant in jest.

I know.  But the irrefutable proof bit threw me.

We must combat this sinister political threat!

In 175, Stalin became the leader of 'some gobbo tower'
In 176, Stalin ordered the killing of 5,433,200 goblins.

Also, stalinism can hardly be described as communism, it's a mad dictatorship, that's all.
Leninism, that's the real deal.

Just a happy coincidence with kobold gibberish names.

Then when burrows will be implemented, he'll put 2 or 3 families in each burrow and call it "Kolkhoz 1", "Kolkhoz 2"...

Clearly Stalin was a very misguided kobold. He raided the Dwarves' already socialist society, confusing their wealth and industry for clear indicators of social decline and capitalism. He then allowed them to own the means of production (workshops and raw materials) while he engaged in the "collectivization" (which he thought was a fancy word for collection) of the products of their labors.

I have to disappoint you, but Stalin is a surname, not a name :D.

Anyway, best random name ever.

I think Stalin means "Man of Steel". His real name was very long with lots of consonants in it.

I think his real name is Иосиф Виссарионович Сталин, or Iosif Vissarionovich Stalin.
