Yeah X-Force really needs to figure out what it's going to do with Beast because right now he's bringing down the whole country.
I would agree more with this for Krakoa: a semblance of democracy, a planned organization, generalized surveillance in the name of security, a population more interested by living comfly than in politics… More “Brave New World” than fascism… It lacks the glorification of strength (it’s a bit there…), the outside enemy (bit there too…), the desire to expand (not quite absent). Well, except few people, the mutants are rather peaceful…
“Strength is the lot of but a few privileged men; but austere perseverance, harsh and continuous, may be employed by the smallest of us and rarely fails of its purpose, for its silent power grows irresistibly greater with time.” Goethe
Krakoa leans far more towards fascism than socialism.
1) Moira is the secret dictator, who keeps even Charles and Magnus in the dark. The QC is a farce ultimately.
2) Krakoa is the land and the means of production for the sole economic and political token(the flowers). The mutants of Krakoa essentially own NOTHING. Krakoa only indulges them to the extent that it does because it is literally FEEDING on them.
Let the flames destroy all but that which is pure and true!
I can't be the only person who thinks that this X-Line has been bloated for a little while?
Does it need doing?
Yes.
Then it will be done.
Except of course that's not the case of Krakoa- opposition isn't forcibly suppressed, it's not more hierarchical than any nation on Earth, and in fact, less than many, there is no dictatorial leader, it doesn't exalt it's nation any more than other nation does, and it's a post-scarcity society, so modern economic models don't apply, since the entire science of economics is based on resources being limited. I would add that fascist countries are militaristic and Krakoa, while most people have a long experience of fighting, it's the exact opposite- the entire military is made of 4 people, they aren't even in the Parliament or have any involvement in civilian decisions, and the government was actively trying to shut down the closest thing it has to a military branch- the X-men.
But, hey, what's the Internet with Goodwin Law or some of it's variants appearing?
Seems about right. Other than the Hellfire Trading Company which runs the black market economy (because even socialist societies have black market economies), there doesn’t seem to be private ownership of anything. It’s all for the good of the collective and controlled by the state.
Krakoa is certainly way closer to be a socialist/communist state than a fascist one, but it's not quite- no one is really barred from having money or all the land they want or invest in the stock market- just go through a gate. If anything, they'll be happy to help you, so mutants can have even more power. Plus, there's really no workers ownership of the means of production because...there's no means of production, there's not even much work to be done.
