Preferred Political Government Power?

[Montmorency]

For communism to work, human cognitive development needs to be on a much lower or much higher level than it is now.

That said, there's no reason why we shouldn't take some good aspects of communism and apply them in a more democratic political system.

The best thing about communism (besides pulling some countries out of a feudal society into an industrial one within a short time) is that it kept capitalism in check, and forced capitalist societies to acknowledge issues of workers and middle class. After the demise of communism, we've generally seen middle class dwindling and the wealthiest class of society becoming even wealthier in most countries, with indications that the trend is going to continue.

Here's a bit for a socio-political thriller series - just an intro scene for the pilot:

A spokesman from the US armed forces steps onto the podium to address a joint session of Congress. Reading dryly from the prepared statement, he announces that the armed forces have approved the official position that the top security threat facing the United States and its interests is "wealth disparity, stagnant standards of living, and corporate class warfare". Uproar ensues. While the functionary sweats at the podium waiting for a chance to continue reciting the document, we get a variety of wide and close shots of the pandemonium between the Reps and Senators.

Not even all that far-fetched, really.
