Well, that's the thing.

If you look at the Hutterite colonies, they're pretty much communistic within their colonies, but they're certainly cutthroat capitalists when dealing with outsiders.

As always, it's likely not an "either-or" situation, sometimes a mixed approach works, too, rather than running from one extreme to the other.

(Of course, they don't let their colonies become too big and unweildy, either, they'll cleave off a new colony when they get too many people. They tend to control a lot of land, btw.)
