Something I've been thinking about that wasn't stated in the show, wouldn't the vaults mostly run off a quasi-communist way of organization? Nobody (except vault-tech) owns the vault and it's contents, it seems that everyone contributes to the best of their abilities (even giving people like the little brother multiple chances to find a place where he can contribute) and receives what they need (I don't think they have to pay rent or buy food). I don't know if the vault dwellers even have money.
I don't think it's intentional, but it is funny to me that the solution to surviving the ultimate capitalist crisis is a communist way of life
True, I'm not saying they adhere to an actual communinist way of organizing vault society, but the day to day has to be communal and as far as I'm aware fairly egalitarian. From just a surface level view of the vaults it seems like housing is allocated based on the needs of the vault dwellers, everyone participates in the labour required to keep the vault working and everyone alive, and effort is made to place people in careers that make best use of their talents.
This ignores the whole vault-tech evil experiments such as the one mentioned in the show that is understocked to force the residents to compete with one another, but in the "normal" vaults they aren't (to the best of my knowledge) operating on a capitalist mode of society. You don't see a vault dweller worried about making rent, though I won't rule out that it happened

From what I saw in the TV show they have some kind of dictatorship that pretends to be a representative democracy via rigged vote machines.
In the videogames, its not even a pretend democracy. The overseer is appointed for life by vault tek.
