The Followers of the Apocalypse are a volunteer aid group. There’s nothing really communist about them; they’re altruists and pacifists motivated primarily by moralism. They don’t appear interested in the economic structure of societies, the use of labor, or who owns the modes of production. They’re “socialist” in a purely idealist sense.
True, but there isn’t much of a society left. Productive forces don’t really exist beyond artisanal and sustenance production, and neither does organized or capitalist modes of production. There isn’t anything to really organize, let alone lead.
They live in commune societies where the collective own the means of production, reject money, they attempt to elevate tribal groups through education, they’re anti-fascist and only maintain a tenuous relationship with the liberal NCR, and attempt to recruit through their outreach.
Society tetters between tribal and early feudal at best, and even then barely. What is a socialist to do in a “society” like that? Volunteer outreach is all that’s left, not like there’s much to do a “revolution” against.
