:Communism my ass - you remember [[Argyre Planitia Campaign|this]]? As unlikely as it would seem to some people, the Earth government was, in fact, unified only a few years following a decisive UN strike on neo-Stalinist Koslovics. And guess what - national governments bonded into one international entity through an essentially ''capitalist'' system. The real problem lies in the evolution of finance capitalism starting 2200. A socially and militarily unified Earth would give birth to unquestionable reforms in worldwide economic systems as a result of internationalization. As private sectors have more financial freedom than state-owned associations, they'd also be more likely to develop high-tech weaponry at a possibly faster rate than the government would. That said, private corporations could be the basis of military research during the UNSC's colonization period. Come 2525 and the Covenant War, in order to hold on to fast-paced technological progress, the UEG would likely exert more control over private corporations in a [[fascism|corporatist]] manner (instead of [[communism|downright confiscating their capital and assuming total control]]), thereby becoming the first in line to acquire military hardware. The illusion that the UNSC became a communist government after all the lead they'd pummeled [[Koslovics|these guys]] with, and also considering the fact that anti-communist countries like the US and other liberal democracies made up the largest part of the UNSC military, is more than irrational. Oh and DinoBenn - socialist republics in 1950 - 1989 actually held compulsory military service in a very high regard. How communism would work in a futurist 25th century world is up to speculation, but I don't trust it would differ that much from past Soviet military obsession. --[[User:UNSC Trooper|UNSC Trooper]] [[Image:unsctrooper_small.jpg|14px]] [[User talk:UNSC Trooper|Talk]][[Special:Contributions/UNSC Trooper|My Work]] 10:40, October 22, 2009 (UTC)
