My friends who play PDX games with me and know my politics sometimes tease me about the game using currency or referencing profitability. And then I remind them that we're all meticulously planning our economies with virtually nothing left for a privileged class to decide. And our decisions, though made in a context of imperialism, aren't being made for personal wealth but state power.

Except when you're playing Victoria and the capitalists decide it's time to build the 34th arts academy with the building capacity it took you sweat and blood to build.
