In soviet Fortress, megaproject builds YOU.

In soviet Fortress, baby steals Goblins.

In soviet Fortress, cave discovers YOU.

Despite the awesome article on palace economy, I must point out--it's still communism if you kill the nobility 

[nanomage]

In Soviet Fortress, dead eat the elves.

Contributing to your learned discussion, DF actually comes very close to communism as it was understood by Marx - in production, every dwarf works as much for public wealth as he wishes and in redistribution - every dwarf takes as much from public wealth for personal consumption as he wishes. Also, no dwarf but the entire society owns the tools and other means of production.

It is not communism yet because there are some pathetic remnants left from the institute of state - nobles, managers, fortress guard and the army, but their power is very much limited.

Also, if we ever are to see the economy again in DF, it will be very curious to see how can the feudal economy be simulated.

Also, the soviet union was obviously nor communist neither socialist - it was a state-monopolistic feudal country, with all that tons of propaganda only meant to disguise and cheat the world and its own citizens.

I hate you and your damned political logic 

[Darkweave]

UnrealJake has a point.  Small groups of people struggling to survive will naturally tend towards communalism.  Animals, too.  It's a basic, inherent, sense of fairness embeded in all creatures.  If the Alpha Wolf doesn't give his Beta's a respectable amount of food from each kill, they may very well kill HIM to get their meat.

But in large enough groups, there always seems to arise some sociopath that wants things their way.  See: Nobles... or Presidents or Caesars or whatever.

GOD DAMN IT. IT'S NOT - Oh you said communal. Never mind.

I thought it was an anarcho-syndicalist commune.

We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week. But all the decision of that officer have to be ratified at a special biweekly meeting. By a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs...

[Shook]

In Soviet Fortress, politics discuss YOU.
