People's Republic of The Communist Bloc

[Luxdonia]

Oh, Zenny, Zenny bae,
Your propaganda won't work on me today,
I might be a capitalist,
But I really get the gist,
That life in the Bloc is all shit,
And I really don't like it one bit.

Now I have finished my poem, I will recite some Communist jokes I made up:

Q: What do you call a communist cat?:
A: Chairman Meow

Q: Why did the Communist boy fail his exam?:
A: Because he was Russian.

Q: What happened to the Communist car in the middle of the motorway?:
A: It started Stalin.

Q: What did the people say when they saw the Communist locked in a cage?:
A: Lenin out!

Non-original ones:

Why do ex-Stasi officers make the best Berlin taxi drivers? Because you only need to tell them your name and they'll already know where you live!

Brezhenev is showing his aged mother around the Kremlin. He shows her his ornate office, the state rooms, the banqueting suite and the garage full of limos. "Well mother has your boy done well?"

Mother looks aghast......"Son i'm very worried. What if the Bolsheviks come back?"

I'm sorry, but who even are you? As far as I'm aware, you've never been apart of our community and have no clue about the inner workings of our region O_o You've come out of nowhere and tried to act as if you have some past record with us or actually understand our region and frankly have miserably failed at it. You come off as just trying to just moan and whine about something you have absolutely no knowledge on.

Edit: And its not that I have the problem with commentary from those in the community, after all that is what this thread is for. But I must admit I hate speculation and criticism due to a refusal to gain information and insight.

That's Gradea, I'd advise you to ignore his posts like everyone else in Gameplay does.

I just thought it was funny that he implies the first group of jokes are original.

Aww well that disappoints me. I feel like I'm one of the few active folks who hasn't given him any crap in this forum for his antics

But advice noted and shall be used <3

[Wadden-Amrum]

I've decided to rescind my previous opinion on the People's Republic.

I would personally rather see a one-party Marxist vanguard state than some sort of disfigured psuedo-social democratic regime. Good luck in creating this new Bloc Zenny.

Well, you're still talking about me.

Are they not? Are they original if I come up with them on my own accord?

Pity about the Chairman Meow one, I did think of that independently.

A quick google search of 'my car keeps stalin' nets lots of this:

[Pereslavl-Zalessky]

Watched your cute video. All I got out of it was:

1) People disagreed with Zenny and Phazon, and Zenny disliked this. They were labeled as reactionary and counter-productive to the region's growth. This is always the case, as anytime anyone ever put up legislation counter to what Zenny thought was right, they were either stalled or bashed. It happened with both myself and Lentrotka whilst trying to enforce some ideologically driven legislation about imperialism. Except we were attacked on this issue from the right, because we were told that ideologically driven regions and laws were bad ideas. My how you change your tune when it suites your agenda.

2) Short term political gain? So, does changing principles you've had for the better part of a year count as short term gain? You resign, you don't like how the region is going and you change your principles in a matter of days and coup the region. Short sighted? Check. Selfish? Check. Amoral? Check!

3) Leninism endorsed state sponsored terror, included the advent and foundational work for the gulag made famous by Stalin and widely expanded the repression of both the trade unions and the military. I was a M-L. You don't know what you're talking about. Can we also talk about how He colluded with the Germans and the revolution was largely successful due to German money?

4) So following the law, and amending the constitution takes too long for you? Oh, I'm sorry that legal restraints and constitutions are a burden on your own selfish agenda. It would seem as though you want to rule by fiat. Oh wait! You already have.

5) Didn't you tell me at one point that this was a game, and that Marxism is incompatible with this game? So why again did you flip on a switch, and decide that all of Marx's theories were applicable here? Why are you also calling people who helped you make TCB great, reactionaries because they follow the rule of law? Why do you turn your back on people who were once valued comrades? Are you really that callous to jettison anyone who disagrees with your fickle ideological goals from day to day?

6) The region was not unstable prior to this, to the point of people leaving, international drama and a totally illegal coup resulting in the illegitimate government you now lead.

I was a M-L. You don't know what you're talking about. Can we also talk about how He colluded with the Germans and the revolution was largely successful due to German money?

As someone who has done quite a bit of research into topic, I can state the there was no collusion. It is true that Germany freed him in the hopes of damaging Russia during WWI but he had no intention of helping and saw it as using imperialism against itself. Furthermore, while Germany did give money to some of peripheries of the Bolsheviks, it never touched Lenin. The accusation of German collusion was made by the Provisional government, I believe after George Lvov and under Kerensky. This was clearly political.

Furthermore, I don't see why Zenny isn't allowed to evolve in terms of her thinking. If people like Eduard Bernstein could change towards revisionism, surely she is allowed to change the other way?

[Pereslavl-Zalessky]

So people who suddenly have a change of heart should be allowed to simply change as such on a whim (because it really was sudden, not evolved; I have evidence that she protested being ideological about a month ago) and coup their own regions? I'm pretty sure we're discussing Her actions, not her words alone.

Information on the People’s Government of The Communist Bloc



The Communist Bloc (TCB) is a region with a Socialist/Communist theme. Citizens elect the General Secretary and their representatives to the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party which crafts and approves regional legislation as well as sets internal Party procedure and policy. All citizens are members of the Workers’ Party and may propose legislation to be discussed and voted on by the Central Committee via the public gallery. The executive administration is chosen and ran by the General Secretary of the Party who acts as de facto head of government. Interpretation and enforcement of criminal and civil law is handled by the People’s Court, led by the Supreme Justice.



A Brief History of the Bloc




The Communist Bloc was founded on December 29, 2013. Initially a republic, the Bloc underwent a righteous revolution on September 26, 2015 to transform itself into the People’s Republic that it is today.

Founded by a coalition of five individuals from separate leftist regions, TCB quickly established itself as a great power within the NationStates (NS) Left, working with many other regions to achieve mutual goals and promote the fight against Fascism across NS. It made important friendships with other influential regions in order to build a strong foundation for the multi-regional cooperation it enjoys today.

Under a purely republican form of governance however, the region faced many hardships and struggles dealing with internal sabotage and increasingly radicalised political sects. In September 2015, a group of regionalist revolutionaries proclaimed the People’s Republic of The Communist Bloc and the formation of the Workers’ Party of TCB as the revolutionary vanguard party. TCB continues to thrive as one of the largest and strongest region in the world thanks to the hard work and perseverance of it’s dedicated and loyal citizenry.



Information on the People’s Revolutionary Armed Forces



The People’s Revolutionary Armed Forces (PRAF) was founded following the September Revolution as the military arm of the Workers’ Party; formed primarily of military personnel of the predecessor armed forces. The PRAF is currently made up of a single Battalion commanded by a commissioned officer of General rank. The Armed Forces are extremely dedicated to taking brand new players and citizens of the Bloc and turning them into educated and effective soldiers. The PRAF is a trained and disciplined military with a dedicated programme to upskill the squad leaders of the Bloc’s future and create many future generations of dedicated soldiers and Party members.

What are some notable operations the PRAF has contributed to?

• Nazi Europe
• The Greater German Reich
• Anne Frank
• St. Abbaddon

The Communist Bloc - A cultural mixing pot

What social activities will you find in the Bloc and what should you expect your fellow citizens to be like? TCB hosts a wide range of people, varying across politics (left and right), nationality, all genders, religion or lack thereof, and NS gameplay.

• Leftists (but not limited to) of all shades, from Marxists to Democratic Socialists!
• An egalitarian atmosphere with one of the largest LGTBQ+ communities in NationStates!
• Freedom of the press, with many competing media outlets run by citizens.
• A friendly and welcoming community with its own private Skype instant-message group, now boasting over 60 residents of TCB!
• A regional university where citizens can host classes, lectures, and make speeches.
• A large gamer population, complete with our own TCB Steam Group!
• A burgeoning legal system, emphasised through a stable legislative process and a strong court.
• Leaders with the patience and experience to train newcomers in NationStates and TCB how to become effective legislators, diplomats, soldiers, ministers, etc.

Your region already had one of these that went for 12 pages.

I'm pretty sure you're not allowed to have two of the same thread per region.

I'm pretty sure you're not allowed to have two of the same thread per region.

- Not posted in for 4 months.
- Is not the same regional government.
- Many other regions have restarted new regional threads after revolutions, coups, system changes, person who ran thread CTE'd, etc.
- Any search of topics for the GCRs in this forum will lead you to countless regional threads they've made, its pretty routine.
- Chill.

[Melhaven]

How does your region view the Proletariat?

[RiderSyl]

- Chill.

Considering how relaxed I was when posting my original message, I think chilling any further might be dangerous for my heart rate.
