In Response To: Harvest... a planet full of socialists? (UNSC_Trooper) : Well, let's just consider a few things before this thread heads too far into : the realm of politics; : - Human rebels in Halo Wars wear a distinctive, clutched fist against a red : circle logo. Often times, this type of logo is used by revolutionary, : leftist organizations to outline the importance of the "working : class." : - Come 2502; a UNSC strike force is sent to assassinate Jerald Mulkey Ander, : the leader of the People's Occupation Government (also known as the : Secessionist Union). The name of the organization hints to a socialist : movement. However, after the assassination was carried out, the : possibility of the POG still being active in 2531 leads us to believe that : the rebels in Halo Wars MIGHT have been thought up to reflect the presence : of this organization. : - Harvest is an agriculture-based colony. Most of the population works on : crops; hard-working peasants looking after their corn fields. Given the : conflict between the UNSC and rebellious groups between 2494 and 2525, : Harvest, with its flourishing agricultural riches, might have been a : staging location for angry workers to rise against the : "imperial," militaristic UNSC. : There may very well be other factors I've missed. Unfortunately, my copy of : Contact Harvest has been missing for a few months, so I can't go back and : read the sections where Harvest's industry is described and go into a : broader analysis. : Are these just a bunch of coincidences? They may be, but they seem related to : each other to me. Or maybe it's just me being overly fanatic tonight... As a general rule, socialism is an industrial workers movement, as opposed to one of agriculture. Political movements travel slowly in sparse agricultural countries.
