Harvest... a planet full of socialists?
Posted By: UNSC_Trooper <unsctrooper@hotmail.com>Date: 2/7/09 4:58 p.m.


Well, let's just consider a few things before this thread heads too far into the realm of politics;

- Human rebels in Halo Wars wear a distinctive, clutched fist against a red circle logo. Often times, this type of logo is used by revolutionary, leftist organizations to outline the importance of the "working class."

- Come 2502; a UNSC strike force is sent to assassinate Jerald Mulkey Ander, the leader of the People's Occupation Government (also known as the Secessionist Union). The name of the organization hints to a socialist movement. However, after the assassination was carried out, the possibility of the POG still being active in 2531 leads us to believe that the rebels in Halo Wars MIGHT have been thought up to reflect the presence of this organization.

- Harvest is an agriculture-based colony. Most of the population works on crops; hard-working peasants looking after their corn fields. Given the conflict between the UNSC and rebellious groups between 2494 and 2525, Harvest, with its flourishing agricultural riches, might have been a staging location for angry workers to rise against the "imperial," militaristic UNSC.

There may very well be other factors I've missed. Unfortunately, my copy of Contact Harvest has been missing for a few months, so I can't go back and read the sections where Harvest's industry is described and go into a broader analysis.

Are these just a bunch of coincidences? They may be, but they seem related to each other to me. Or maybe it's just me being overly fanatic tonight...
