      There are actual, real-world spider communes.

      A few species, such as Anelosimus eximius, are also known to have reproductive skew, where some of the females reproduce and others do not.[13] Even though these spiders cooperate by caring for each other’s young, cooperating in prey capture and sharing food, they are not considered eusocial as they do not have defined castes. Any female has the potential to reproduce, therefore differences in the reproductive success is due to competition for scarce food resources rather than the existence of physically distinct castes.[14]

      Commie spiders! Do with that information what you will.

        Ursus maritimus joining class war on a side that wants to usurp means of climate change would be a great addition to 2026
