I don't think I've ever seen a city builder with post apocalyptic setting.

Post-apocalyptic scenarios generally force anarchy on you. No authorities exist anymore, usually. The next step would be to form collections of families as tribal groups, for protection against other tribal groups. Then from there, communities with an actual elected enforce of minimal laws, as in the Western's sheriff concept. Grow the place bigger such that you can afford professional, full time governors, and you build back up.

Communism is never the way to go :P It didn't work when the pilgrims tried it. Didn't work when the Oneidas tried it (it actually failed there because the community was too successful, lookup Oneida silver). Didn't work when the Russians or Chinese tried it. And it didn't work when the Germans tried it in Eastern Germany, and as the saying goes, if anyone could make communism work, it's the Germans. Still didn't work.

It can't work because it's based on fallacious assumptions, and because it goes against human nature. Marx was a social philosopher delving into economics--a field he had no business writing about. It's a shame such a foolish philosophy gained so many adherents. We've seen a century of communist experiments around the world, and it fails everywhere.

Communism assumed human nature could be changed to fit a new social system. They spoke of people as a "blank canvas". This assumption is false, as it turned out. You must suit the system to the people, not the people to the system.

And now we're seeing what mixing a semi-free economy with political communism achieves, the modern bankrupt nation state.

I seem to remember an old game called "The Tribe," or something of the sort.

From what I remember, it's rather like what you're asking for.

I keep thinking of Alpha Centauri. It's not post apocalyptic, but it is on a new planet afterall...
