Due to an overwhelming lack of support, I am retiring the Communist Party. The community is simply not ready for the enlightened ideals of a progressive post-scarcity egalitarian utopia. Overview The word "communist" has been associated with totalitarianism and autocracy ever since the establishment of the USSR. But communism was a merely the word they used to get power. The goal of communism is to create a better life for everyone, not just those fortunate enough to be born with money. We will fight for the working class, the proletariats, so that they can have a say in government decisions. "Freedom in capitalist society always remains about the same as it was in ancient Greek republics: Freedom for slave owners." ~Vladimir Lenin Platforms Economics/Taxation: We want to balance the distribution of wealth among the citizens, so that there is not such a large gap as left behind by Ronald Reagan. We will institute new or higher taxes on the rich, while cutting slack for the working class. We are also set out on making services and goods people need affordable and not just a way for the capitalists to make more money. We will do this by nationalizing such industries as pharmaceuticals and banks. Welfare: Everybody has a right to necessities, such as food and shelter. We will provide these basic things so that people can work and strive for their luxuries, not their life. Unemployment: A word that plagues our great nation. The Communist Party strives to end unemployment and, by extension, unproductivity. We will institute mandatory work for the unemployed so that everyone contributes towards making society a better place. Healthcare: We want to provide free healthcare to every citizen, as they all have a right to life. Gun Control: Guns will be completely banned for citizens, so to decrease gun related violence. People say guns don't kill people, people kill people, but in countries like the UK where their police officers don't even carry guns, gun crimes are drastically reduced. In conclusion, our dream is to make life better for everyone. If you have any questions or want to join, just message me.

In the 2012 fiscal year, exactly five people in the United Kingdom were killed with firearms. In contrast, the US is responsible for 82% of gun related deaths in the world.

Likely not, but I will try to accomplish as much as I can in that one term and hope for another.

Our end goal is complete communism, but trying to implement too many communist policies at once could be catastrophic for the economy and for the well being of all citizens.

Small businesses will receive tax breaks on their business taxes assuming they meet a certain criteria. This criteria will have to do with their revenue and net sales. The rich will have to pay high taxes. I have not come up with an exact number as of yet, but it will be in the ballpark of 60%. I have not fully decided what my policy will be here, but I am thinking of creating a small branch of the police force to investigate politicians and other white collar crimes. They will be semi-autonomous so that the politicians don't control them or affect their pay.

In order to decrease poverty, we will likely follow New York City's example with $15 an hour. That is, of course, subject to change, but I can't see it getting much lower.

Many of your views do align with my party, please feel free to check it out (I understand if you have a prejudice against the name, it's a working title).

Communism is the dream that the proletariat masses strive for. It's what keeps hope alive while they work all day for someone else's wealth. The class conflict will not last forever. The bourgeoisie will find defeat in this battle, and when that day comes, I will see to it that a better life is created for everyone. Also, good to meet you as well, I hope we do roleplay upon the release of this game!

I'm curious as to where you will get the money for universal healthcare if not through higher taxes?

We are pro LGBT rights, and will support same-sex marriage.

I see. I assumed we were, in practice, a state partly because we have a Governor, not a President. I suppose we could be a state just in name, not in the way government works.

Identity takes place within a state of the US.

Will you be able to be a judge, and if so, are you elected or appointed? I tried searching for this but nothing came up.

My assumption would be that the Governor/Mayors can kick judges out of power if they have reason.

Welcome to the crime game Brandon.

I think you mistake his attempt to help you for criticism. And I would advise not making everyone your enemy before the game has even come out.

I know as a fact there is not going to be a military.

I Don't want this up anymore.

Indeed we do. Are we all using US servers though? I am.

This would be good, as it adds a need to save money. But, if money carries over from server to server, this would not be possible.

I don't know, but if they did, there would have to be a simple enough way to tell the difference, otherwise it would mess up the economy.

I don't know if it will be that easy to change everything about someone, but an intriguing idea for a business. I'm interested to see how it goes.

I would imagine you can have your own ideology, but I'm not sure. In terms of parties, you can probably just start one like you can a businesses or gang.

We'll be in touch...

It is good to meet you as well. I can assure you, I am just as against unnecessary bloodshed as the next guy. As I stated in my description, I would only kill if someone is in the way of business. I hope to have strong relations with the other families, and I do hope you feel the same way. I do have thoughts on how I will get money, I only hope Identity is detailed enough for many of them to come true. Until next time.
