By ground level, I mean games where the scope is of people on the ground (either an individual PC or party) rather than playing as an abstract nation or political party like in a grand strategy game. So nothing Paradox- or Kremlingames-related (though, Victoria 3 including little things like pop info is a nice touch).

At first, Fallout 4 seemed to fit the bill with its settlement system but it’s still very much within the bounds of capitalism and private property no matter how much I like to think the Minutemen are actually communalists or whatever.

    Most of the larger groups in Eve practice a form of Communism in the sense that all of your basic needs will be provided (Ships, Skill books, Money, drugs, etc) by the alliance. For newbies there are no real strings attached, just go fly and have fun. Larger ships are usually reimbursed only if they are lost on alliance fleet operations, defending your group’s territory or assets. Now this doesn’t mean that everyone is going to agree with a communist Ideology outside of the game, but they do effectively use many communist principles in their organizations, going so far as to borrow certain iconography

    o7 see you in space.

    edit: anyone interested look into one of the larger open newbie corps: Brave Newbies, KarmaFleet, Dreddit, Pandemic Horde

      Yeah I meant explicitly communist, like hammer and sickle flags. I’ve had a few characters for about a year.

      I know there’s a group that is pretty explicitly space Nazis, Absolute Order.
