Covenant = Communist
Covie...Commi..
OH BOY! They kind of sound the same, don't they?
Capitalism > Communism.
The story of Halo is obviously a take on Capitalism defeating Communism.
They are not communists, you could compare them to communists but their government is nothing more than Upper Class tyranny based on controlling the lower classes with religion. But the reason why it worked so well is their religion is based on observable fact, it's just that the detail of the observable fact is only pursued by the upper class. The grunts, brutes, and for the most part elites don't really bother looking at the facts themselves, and trust that what the prophets find is the absolute truth.
The jackals of course being the only monetary trade like system within the Covenant, because they act like mercenaries. They trade with the covenant and work for them while still being apart of the covenant. As for the worms that form hunters, well, not too much is known about them other than they have a connection with forerunner objects just like the prophets and elites had. Just that they ate away the dirt and rock surrounding the forerunner objects, and never really could eat away the forerunner objects.
Drones, well, they are just drones. Engineers down to the core working for the hive, which was just expanded into a multiple species hive.
The story of Halo is a fight against corruption. A fight against ignorance.
