    Yeah, in the late game you basically need Council Republic because the Investment Pool contributions get artificially nerfed the larger your GDP gets. And nerfed in such a way that the capitalists money just disappears into the void it doesn't recirculate. So you want to have as few capitalists as possible then. Capitalism so good it suffers from it's own success.

    The problem with capitalism is that it makes the investment class too rich. This shows that capitalism is actually an extremely good system with no flaws. very-intelligent

    I always play this game as a neoliberal. It has an extra challenge to try to make the galaxy a peaceful, cooperative, populous and diverse place compared to just easily genociding everyone

    Massive "would rather be a murderous monster but maybe if everyone is grateful enough won't be a murderous monster for now" peterson-sus energy.

    Ah yes, "everything will be incredibly good as long as the white man's burden succeeds world is made to follow the same ideology as us".

    And if this person believes in Khrushcev style peaceful coexistence? Lol, lmao. They follow a worldview whose goals are incompatible with the goals of the ruling class they support.
