Would Tamriel ever possibly covert to Socialist/Communist theory ever? I'm studying the Cold War and the Soviet Union at the moment and the living situations of some provinces in Tamriel mach similarly to those in Pre-Socialist nations. I mean, they seem to have workers who are paid next to nothing and worked super hard, by abusive Nobility, absolute Monarchs almost everywhere, yet the people themselves have an understanding of Democracy and Civil Rights, etc. So why have they never seriously rebelled against this system? I mean, in Skyrim the land is in Civil War from the feuds of Nobles, and a Nationalist Army (Aldmeri Dominion). In addition, they have corrupt leaders in places like Riften & Markarth, and with a culture that's advanced enough for new thinking it seems odd that they've never had any ideas of Marxist-Leninist thought.

It's not just Skyrim either, in Morrowind & High Rock nobles are also explotitive of their average citizens, and the Thalmor, enforce Nationalism almost all over Tamriel. Just the Dominion alone with it's radical Right ideas might encourage Socialist thought, but with the constant Capitalism and Exploitation that the people of Tamriel seemed to have gone through and still do, I don't see why there's a reason that they have never thought about changing stuff! Might be a gameplay thing, but Bethesda usually does add political stuff to the TES games, as shown with Skyrim and even Morrowind. We got Monarchies, Aristocracies, Fascists, Freedom, etc.

Someone got an opinion on this???
