    I concur there's a recruitability advantage since some players just want to RP communism, but I can't imagine it being easy to hold onto the members you recruit because it's not like you're creating a worldwide revolution. Like you said, players have to consent to join your alliance. Unless you plan on declaring war on non-communist nations just because they're not part of your ideology, there really isn't any enforcement you can do.

    As far as I can tell, communist alliances are stigmatized because they won't fight each other. This is unlike capitalist and fascist alliances which will due to their competitive nature. If communist alliances one day took over PnW, the game would come to a standstill. They're deliberately targeted to prevent that standstill from happening. If communists win, the game dies. If non-communists win, the game continues.

    I mean you can't even simulate a Stalin-Mao-Tito split in PnW because there's really only one way to run communism: tax your members immensely, vote in certain people to office, and let those people decide how to redistribute resources to achieve growth. Sure, you could tax varying amounts between say 50-100% as well as prefer to tax commerce or industry, but these are ultimately strategic calls, not policy doctrines.

    Say communists did take over PnW one day. How would conflict continue to exist in the game for players to enjoy?

    If somehow the Communists managed to take over all of P&W, they'd probably explode into at least 15 ideological sub-groups. Without opposition, there would be no reason for the left-unity which holds 'em together. Leftists are great at sectarian infighting, believe me.

    Are white people, specifically cis men, allowed in the alliance?

    I hope so, otherwise I'm in big trouble...

    Anyway, Death to Tyrants! Glory to the Revolution!*

    Being a white supremacist or a nazi is not a prequisite to being racist.  Just because Asian communities don't like blacks doesn't mean that makes them white supremacists or nazis.  You calling everyone who you don't like a nazi or white supremacist doesn't make it true.  

    I find myself agreeing with this sentiment. Let's save the 'N' word for real Nazis.

    No, you really are very much a noob, I'm afraid.

    No sir

    I have to agree with Sir Scarfalot. Your cities are a mess, seeming to lack planning and your trying to produce food at a score of ~300. Unless you have ~2000 sqm of land per city (might be a bit more or less, I didn't do the math) your operating at loss.

    Yall are too angry, take a chill pill....and overdose 

    On the contrary, my good friend.

    I don't think they are angry enough!

    After all, there are: bourgeoisie, revisionists, reactionaries, counter-revolutionaries, liberals, kulaks and Alex's inconsistent APIs to hate!
