(I know, communism is a human thing and so it can't really apply to Andalites but still, the books were written by a human as far as I know... so where does KA's ideas about the andalites social and political organization come from? )
I'm trying to sum up what I know about them :
°They didn't have money (nor something that we could associate with money)
°they seemed to share the tasks (one family makes this, one family makes that...)
°they didn't have jobs nor unemployment of course.
°People could vote... so it was quite democratic.
If someone has ever thought of that before... Express yourself here^^

Eh, there's not enough similarity in my opinion to call it Communism. I'm not an expert on the subject or anything, but I think it would be considered something else.
-
I think someone reffered to them as socialists. That's all I can say.
-
Someone? In the books?
-
No, someone on the forums here. Sorry if I didn't make that clear.
-
Funny^^ you're the second person of the day on the forum who tells me "sorry for not being clear"
-
i see where this is coming from i thought of them as a form of communist as well
-
Communism means that their govt. would own everything. They really have no economy because they eat grass and drink water and those are free commodities. I think its almost a tribal system. We never see how the govt. affects civilians on the Andalite home-world except that they have control over breeding when it comes to Andalites as seen in TAC. As for the stuff they build for each-other I think someone has to be regulating the whole process. If K.A. ever gets back on here, we should definitely ask her the specifics of how the Andalite world functions.

it's a new form of government, called Neo-Andalism.
-
They had a very interesting form of government, I always wanted to know more about it but it was never expressed. We saw a lot of andalites in the military but not many from the government. I always kinda assumed the military was in charge because of war times.
