Its killing me to see people giving conclusions based on the rationale they give. Its not about oppression, or transparency or necessity of strong governments. Neither is it reimagination of Cold Wars.

The difference between VS, NC and TR is distinctively ideological. Even if history on a different road, or if TR was not oppressive (Which i admit it is). Things would have been the same:

TR is a conservative regime. Traditional weapons, traditional form of governance. Tendency to unite (No. Thats not exactly a good thing. Can be really harmful from an ideological perspective)

Both TR and NC can have an elitist element, depending on where they stand.

NC is moderately liberal or at the centre of the potical spectrum. Want to change Auraxis politically. Seperatist (dissolving) tendency (No. Not always a bad thing )

Think of seperatist and uniting tendencies in light of real world cases. Scotland seperating from the UK even though UK does not want it to leave. Or Quebec leaving Canada even though Canada does not want it to leave. Those 2 are moderate examples, where an outsider wont care much, but your opinion of thay may differ as a citizen on UK or Canada. Some might find it good that QC and SCTLND seperates, others would feel like its betrayal or simply wrong.

VS, by all means is a radical group. Wants extreme change, physical change not just political. Can call them anarchist group or maybe a technocracy.

@For the folks that compare the empires to America and the Old Soviest Union

i assure you, your rationale is flawed. Cold war itself was a political issue not a Russia vs. US thing. And socialism or communism isnt exactly bad, just that Stalins/Lenins version of it was unbearable (I may be biased here but i do believe Marxist Leninism is fcked up).

Neither is socialism exclusive of capitalism. President Obama's policies can be considered socialist, mean while US stock market indices sky rocketed in Obama administration. Sounds like 2 opposite things happening at the same time doesn't it?

Canada is also an example of a nation with both capitalist and socialist elements.
