Why did everything stop producing culture?!

[ShadowXOR]

I was going for a cultural victory and had over six cities, all with Temples and Cathedrals. I was getting a ton of culture and only needed one more Great Person to be able to build the UN.

The only problem is I checked my culture and I was only getting 22 Culture per turn, and the majority of my cities were producing ZERO culture!!! What the hell happened?!

The only thing I can think of is that I dropped a nuke while not using despotism, but I thought I read the nuke drops your culture level by one, which made me assume my borders shrink, and it took away a point towards the 20 needed to build the U.N.

What would kill my culture off like this? I swear I saw a similar thread like this but no one had the answer.

Luckily I ended up winning but I had to steal a Great Person from a city far away and sail him back to my city.

Communism?

You've got to be kidding me. I know this game inside and out...yet I didn't remember I was using Communism. Thanks, I'm an idiot.

I rarely use Communism and rarely go for a cultural victory, so I guess that threw me off. Ignore this thread...oy vey.
