What Star Wars faction is closest to Communism.

[Blake's Baby]

Ewoks.

[Ostrinski]

None of the above. The Jedi kind of preached an egalitarian message.

I voted for all.

[Blake's Baby]

Oh, was it a poll? I didn't see. Mine was just an answer.

[Ostrinski]

The ewoks were primmies.

[Blake's Baby]

I think they were just away from primitive communism, rather than being anarcho-primitivists, if that's what you meant. From an anthropological (or should be xenological?) perspective, they looked like they were just starting with class society (tribal chiefdom-type institutions and what not). Ergo, they were closest to communism, having most recently left it.

It was a serious answer.

[Bostana]

Ewoks are opportunists.

First they allowed the Empire to set up a shield generator than they're on the Rebellions side because they thought C-3PO was a God.

[Blake's Baby]

You do know that the Ewoks are the Vietnamese, The Empire is the USA, The Emperor is Nixon and Vader is Kissinger, right?

I think you're on to something,

They both fought of Imperials in a Jungle.

[Blake's Baby]

Oh man. You really don't know that 'Return of the Jedi' is George Lucas's 'Nam movie?

If it's not a rude question, how old are you?

I wouldn't call Endor a jungle, just a temperate forest with some large trees.

Back to the question, I would say the rebellion. They are no were near communist, but they are they closest. The Galactic Republican is a collection of 1000's of systems akin to the UN, the only thing they rule directly over (I may be wrong about this, so Star Wars nerds please correct me) is Coruscant, and considering that on Coruscant the poor are forced to live in horrible conditions are the bottom of the city while the rich get to live at top in sunlight I think we can disregard them as being anywhere near socialist. the CIS is like the GR in that it is a collection of systems, but unlike the GR they actually allow things like slavery. And then we have the Empire, do I really have to explain this? Like I said there is nothing hinting at the rebellion being in anyway socialist, but of the 4 factions they seem the most likely to support total equality.

The Wookies

[Blake's Baby]

You do know that the 'Wookies' (wook - ee) (hairy bear-creatures that live in woods with a 'barbarian' society and help defeat the baddies) are just the 'Ewoks' (ee - wok) (hairy bear-creatures that live in the woods with a 'barbarian' society and help defeat the baddies) in disguise?

[Red Storm]

I have got to say that I didn't know that either. Makes sense but I don't think it is well known like the references in episodes I - III. Interesting and maybe you could write a short essay to explain it in detail. Either way you have me wanting to watch the whole series for the ten thousandth time or more.:)

The Wookies are cooler though

Who would Phil Ochs be then?

[Ostrinski]

The rebels were monarchists, they couldn't be communists. Although Luke fits the romantic revolutionary archetype.

Am I the only one who has suddenly felt the urge to throw some star wars on? Fuck.

I guess I'll get my nerd hat on: The Chiss are supposed to be highly collectivist in both their economic and political interactions, though politically their structure resembles something more like an oligarchy with major families attempting to sway politics there (each 'house' is responsible for some facet of Chiss society, so it could be seen as a caste-like system in that regard).

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Chiss_Ascendancy


The Chiss were governed by an oligarchy of extended Ruling Families from House Palace, located in the city of Csaplar. Each clan with the families was headed by leaders known as Aristocra who wore particular colors to indicate their clan and family loyalties. Standard and day-to-day decisions were made by a democratically elected parliamentary body from each of the 28 colonies. Issues were siphoned up through the parliament to a cabinet of appointed governors, and then to the ruling families, where a decision made by the parliament and/or cabinet could be approved for action. Each of the extended ruling families was responsible for a set of government affairs to manage: House Sabosen was responsible for social issues such as justice, health, and education; House Inrokini was responsible for industry and science; House Csapla was responsible for colonial affairs, agriculture and redistribution of resources; and House Nuruodo was responsible for military and foreign affairs. The Csapla's redistribution of resources amongst the Chiss colonies and Csilla was particularly important, given the collectivist-socialist economic system of the Chiss, and led to their relative position at the head of the families, with the others acting in an advisory role. House Nuruodo would be ranked as second, considering the importance of warfare on Chiss society.

Each family was equally represented in the Chiss government, although they went to great lengths to ensure that family identity was eliminated wherever possible. The leaders of the Chiss did not use names, but instead wore colorful robes to distinguish themselves. This helped ensure that decisions were reached in a fair and equitable method. Although the four extended ruling families were not known to face power struggles, five lesser clans often vied for greater authority and power, such as House Chaf, which was considered the fifth ruling family.
