that's why it wouldn't be communism, there would be clear defined paths to higher standing, such as dust mining operations, agriculture, defense technology and of course military, not hidding it but rather using the inevitable class formations as means to promote productivity, once things stabilize promoting a basic internal economy as well. State of emergancy militarized rule may have simmilarities to communism, but there are distinctions beyond lifespan, it is actually quite obvious that Atlas is far from being a communist goverment, look at the Shnee Dust Company, they aren't owned by Atlas goverment, rather they just snag as many of their military contracts as possible.
