I still can't get over Civ II having a "corruption" stat that only appears around the time communism is invented, but if you switch to "democracy" the corruption stat is nullified.
The series is still stuck in the '90s. Belief in the End of History, Great Man, and so on. The least they could do is look into more systemic analysis and archeological discoveries involving our prehistoric ancestors.
Even the typical "science victory" ideology is propaganda, unexamined ideology that only feeds into grifts. Go to other planet, plant flag, win, roll credits, show score.

Whitoids can't help it. In the face of interstellar travel, all they can think about is new places to colonize and settle.
One of my dearest childhood dreams and wishes was to explore the stars.
Watching that dream get monetized and monopolized by techbro manchildren trying to sell that dream back to me was crushing to watch over the years.
Communism is OP in civ 6 because it is only system which focuses on production, and production is and always was OP in Civ.
