Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) 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.

It does say the island will take place in the eastern US and is inspired by the Carolinas and Georgia. They said the location was chosen because of the climate and terrain that could be inspired from those respective areas (eastern US, Carolinas, Georgia). From what it sounds like so far, this land will be completely autonomous and therefore we'll be governing ourselves. In other words, a micronation.

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.

Posted December 12, 2016 Communism has no place on the "island of identity." You and your party will never have my vote sir. Good Day. Also, nice to meet you, I believe this is my first interaction with you specifically on the forum. It's a fun community! Hopefully we can role play in the future! VOTE CCP!

Family First, Mission Always. Stay Safe. 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! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I'm assuming (if this really is the communist party) ALL businesses will get taxed 100%. Right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

Posted March 2, 2017 Communism looks good on paper but never works in real life and it wont in identity either. You strive for free everything life is good approach, I'm sorry but everything is not going to work like that. This will put the whole island in debt. The idea of a doctor making the same as a garbage man would tick any common sense thinking person off. You talk about banning all guns to citizens, this will put a crucial businesses out of business as well as fuel the drug and gun trade to the point of becoming out of control. I don't like the idea of the government having all the guns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With your proposed extreme power of government (Seizing the means of production, enforced high tax rates, forced government programs, etc.), what will the people use to defend themselves in the event of government tyranny? This has always been, and always will be a looming threat to any society run by a parliamentary government. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
