Civ is so essentially bourgeoisie that the fundamental unit of the game are cities. The rest of the land just exists to be worked. There was a cool and hard scenario in civ4 where you played as the mongols in yurts which were both units and cities.
The real "spot the ideology" moment was in 5 they introduced "ideologies" which were, Order (communism), Autocracy (fascism), and then Freedom which had a 1800s musketmen holding a flag for a picture while the other two were clearly industrial workers and soldiers. An honest picture would've been an artdeco business man.
Yeah it pisses me off in 6, because i want to be Comminust but the New Deal policy card is too good, not to mention the trade bonus to "democracy"(what they call capitslism lol).
