' Wrote:There is little indication regarding the Xenos' organisation's opinion on economics. They are isolationists and that is all we can really gather. Saying that they would be socialist would be pure supposition.
If I'm correct in understanding where you're coming from, you're largely correct.
I'll strive to keep my tendency to draft essays at bay and make it quick and dirty.
The Xeno's situation arose not with the monopolies of Ageira over trade lane licensing, or the growing synth monopolies of foodstuff production, nor with the big three bashing in the front doors of their neighbors but with the massive amounts of inflowing capital promoting Liberty to abandon its own industrial backbone in favor of simply importing foreign products to satiate their consumption needs.
Furthermore, with the privatization of the Liberty Police Force (whom are a much more nefarious group than our own donut swilling fellows would have you believe) an organization sprung into being charged with turning a buck from crime, which led in turn to the veritable harvesting of Liberty's rapidly growing lower classes to power a growing prisoner based labor pool.
The Xenos are descended both from the original organizations of miners left disenfranchised following Liberty's departure from harvesting its own natural resources versus simply importing and those who were inducted into the Xenos by Liberty's self perpetuating cycle of poverty and criminals.
Much of the above also accounts for the Liberty Rogues, though the Xenos are fast becoming the more popular movement in addition to eventually eclipsing the Rogues in sheer manpower.
The Xenos are at odds with foreign commercial interests due to blaming the influx of their goods as the source of their misfortunes. Cut off the flow and Liberty again returns to producing those goods itself.
I'm sure many are of a different mind, but I can't imagine the the Xenos are heavily concerned with facet of Liberty's economic growth so long as it provides room for all of its people, and abstains from its deplorable slave labor practices.
A very clinical view of the situation, but one that fits the bill I believe. At the very least I hope I contributed a little food for thought in terms of the Xeno's goals.
