Isn't that it? The Sith rule over the lower classes and the Empire is made of people willing to fight for a common goal.

The thing is that the Imperial citizens know they are not equal with the Sith and the Sith hold it over their heads. They don't make the people believe they are equal, they make them fear consequences.

A group of anarchists technically aren't anarchists if you take 'Anarchy' at face value.

There's no such thing as true anarchists. Everyone conforms to some sort of ideal or belief!

Like in real socialism, don't you think? Most Imperials probably live for the vision of utopian Empire, I imagine many follow the Sith willingly because the Sith offer to lead them to the great future. How and why the Sith really do it is something different.

Y'know, everyone would join the Sith Empire if the Sith themselves weren't a bunch of jerks...

I disagree with that, Bunny. What I'm saying, Bubak, is that the Sith aren't making the ordinary people think they're like the upper class with less money. I'm not saying that there aren't some socialist qualities, but I wouldn't call it a socialist government.

Sith are the visionaries with superpowers who promise they will lead the Empire to greatness if the people allow it. Naturally, if they promise them a future where everyone will be equal, there will be no work, there will be plenty of everything, people follow them or are made to follow them.

Then they're proclaiming socialism as an extremely future goal. I get that.

If you chose to join the Revolution, PM me and we can organize a thread post skip in which either my char meets your or we do so in a flashback, depending on when they meet each other (either during the ten year period or after).

Which character are you considering joining with, if I may ask? Just so I can read up on them.

Just thought I'd stop by here and drop some knowledge :)

The Sith Imperium is an Oligarchy.

Socialism = social ownership of the means of production (typically by the state)
Communism = same thing as socialism except everyone owns the means of production and the state is eventually done away with because everyone is equal and all is shared (ie pretty utopic and I'd argue there has never been a true communist state in the traditional sense)
Anarchy = no state and no rules (but there are also different shades of this depending on the type of anarchy, ie social anarchy is closer to communism)

Hope this helped. And...

Plzlearn2polisci. Kthanks!
