107 - Kor'vattra, The Tau Navy

**DISCLAIMER**TAU ARE NOT COMMUNISTSThe Tau are not communists. They're the exact opposite of communists.Communism believes in:The dictatorship of the proletariatThe abolishing of all class and caste systemsThe right and necessity of the working class to control the means of productionThe abolishing of private property and the holding of all things in the common good. (NOT the "greater good", that's Utilitarian garbage that means something very different)An actual communist would hate the Tau. The Tau are Plato's Republic. They're rigid, ultra-hierarchical technocrats where a tiny elite caste (the Ethereals) own and control everything .An actual communist would want to:Abolish the Caste systemKill the Ethereals (The Ethereals are like the pure embodiment of everything Marx hated about western capitalism and oligarchies, the wise philosopher-kings who believe they have the right to control everyone else's lives)Distribute means of production and defense (including technology and weapons) among the different members of the former castesEstablish some kind of state council so that things like food and education could be centrally managed and given out to those in need. (Pretty much the exact opposite of what the Tau would want to do).People who call the Tau "space communists" are either totally ignorant, or they're deliberately playing into the somewhat racist stereotypes of Asian people that the Tau embody. Don't do that. *Please refer to Episode 29 for further insight on the above.********************************************************************Welcome back to Lorehammer, where we explore the bright future of the Warhammer 40K universe.
