well... It could be an infighting thing. or an infiltration thing. Take templars out from inside the government, that sort of thing?

Yes, I believe so and I find communism more agreeable with Templar philosophy.

Yeah, communism does have some points where it can actually work, at least in my opinion. It's just when people start getting hurt is when i draw the line.
In actual Assassin's Creed canon, the Assassins support the fall of the Russian Empire, even trying to assassinate the Tsar in the 19th century, in order to retrieve a Piece of Eden that the Tsar held onto. When the Russian Revolution came around 1917, the Assassins allied with the Bolsheviks (Vladimir Lenin's brother was an Assassin). However, when Joseph Stalin came into power, he was a puppet of the Templars, and the Assassins poisoned him to make it look like he died of a stroke.

I got this from the two comics, Assassin's Creed: The Fall and The Chain, which take place in 19th and 20th century Russia
