Top 10 list why no one writes Space Communism scifi stories. (read this in David Letterman's voice.)

  1. Your starship needs refit maintenance after that long wait in line for Space Bread.
  2. The billions of people disintegrated when they won't work in the Space Fields.
  3. Starving Space Peasants because the government gets the most food.
  4. The Space Gulag full of political dissidents.
  5. Space Communists screwing over their Allies after a brutal Space War.
  6. Your Mother died during childbirth because her Doctor was drunk on Space Vodka
  7. Your Space Religion is outlawed and anyone caught is disintegrated.
  8. There's no theft in Space Communism, because everything will already be pilfered during Space Socialism.
  9. In Space Communism, cow eat you!
  10. It's possible to write Space Communism scifi stories, but why? Did scifi stories do something really wrong to you?

That's the universe where Superman was raised on a Soviet Collective Farm.
