Yep.  Well, I dont know if you have ever played
"Civilization" (I used to play it about 8 years ago)
but there are situations in the game where if
the people are not allowed a certain standard of
living, they rise up and make a revolution.  However,
there was no socialist or communist society in
"Civilization" (or at least I dont think there was).
Anyway, I have never been into games too much, but I
was addicted to that one for a while.
