Your Nation's View on Communism and Socialism

[The Federated Soviets of North America]

Is the state anti-communist? Hahahahaha, no
Is the state pro-communist? Yes, absolutely
Are communists persecuted? We are council communists, of course not. Authcoms and the like are often made fun of, and there was a degree of internal struggle between different communist factions during and after the revolution, but no, they aren't.
Are non-communists persecuted? Fascists and their ilk are heavily persecuted. for other anticommunist tenancies, it varies on a state-by state basis. Some have made laws persecuting them, while they are allowed a moderate degree of freedom to organize in others. However, all anticommunist tendencies were heavily persecuted for a few years after the revolutionary wars.

[The Horland]

Communism is a threat to world gamer peace. The state will kill all commies via helicopter unless they buy the season pass.

Tell me more

[The Sauganash Union]

Incredibly hostile. The Sauganash Union is basically based off of a Gilded Age United States going on steroids. Democracy is respected, but anything that threatens business gets dealt with.

[Bulgar Rouge]

The Democratic Republic of Bulgar Rouge is a radical leftist state which is often characterised as "communist". However, we do not fully trust other communist states, particularly those with a Marxist-Leninist ideology of the Soviet type. They are stale, rigid and pacifist. They are, therefore, incapable of fomenting unrest and taking down capitalist systems effectively. Their societies have little vitality, their economies are inward-oriented, and their militaries are inevitably preoccupied with "defending the Motherland", instead of proactively intervening across the world and instituting revolutionary leftist systems.

That being said, we view communist states and parties of the Soviet type as friendly, if misguided. Every other system is viewed as counterrevolutionary and hostile.

[Victoria I Penetravir]

• Is the state anti-communist? Refer to these two dispatches here (and here, too).
• Is the state pro-communist? No.
• Are communists persecuted? Yes.
• Are non-communists persecuted? In other countries, yes, but in our country, the Empire is staunchly sympathetic with totalitarian, statist anti-communists only.

Essentially: what is the states policy on socialism?

"Socialism is the belief that state intervention is essential to realistically combatting social injustice, and that it is the moral duty of the state to so intervene. It is based on the view that the stateless system (e.g. free markets) is rigged against true merit in favour of non-merit-based competitive advantages, a problem which can therefore only be remedied by adding rules to the system, where the rules have been derived with the promotion of merit in mind, and function as to nullify the non-merit-based competitive advantages. Any and all who choose not to follow these rules are thus enemies of merit and hence must be placed into concentration camps declared outlaws who also no longer receive protection from the rules as citizens receive." - from Aryanism, National Socialism Basics

Therefore, since we are way beyond the right-liberal left dichotomy, we consider ourselves as leftists. We are socialists, therefore it is to duty of the state to intervene for the sake of social justice. This is the backdrop theory behind the massive campaign against rightists who are opposed to communism but are opposed to statist measures.

[Yuwen Empire]

Is the state anti-communist? No
Is the state pro-communist? Yes
Are communists persecuted? No
Are non-communists persecuted? No

[Martian Soviet Communes]

The Martian Soviet Communes are socialist, although non-socialists are not actively persecuted.

[Vyzantio]

In Vyzantio, full-on hammer-and-sickle Communism and most of it's variants are seen as a subversive, destructive force upon the world. Nearly all citizens see it as inherently evil, if not flat-out demonic in nature/origin, and being openly Communist (or highly sympathetic) will get you instantly ostracized. A minority of the population (roughly 30%) support a more socialist-style reforming of the economy, as opposed to our current "National Capitalist" system.

[Ariyasahr]

The communist economic philosophy and political ideology never arose in the timeline of the Empire, nor did any real equivalents. Thus, the Empire is completely ambivalent on the matter. That said, should it happen to encounter the ideology, it would oppose it due to communism's anti-monarchism, what with the Empire being an absolute monarchy.

[Federation-of Malaysia]

Malaysia has a rather negative view of communism, partly due to past occurrences (Malayan Emergency for example, where communist guerilla troops funded by the USSR and China were defeated partly due to the lack of need for a revolution by the local populace, especially the Chinese)

[Vedastia]

Vedastia is notable for its antipathy to left-wing movements. The Social Democratic Party controlled government for the latter half of the 1990s due to the excesses of the Whig-Tory Coalition, but that was the only time that any left-wing government controlled Vedastia since its independence.

[Avanel]

Avanelian government is anticommunist, and most citizens views on communism are bad. Also communist parties are banned, altough there are some extreme leftist organisations that claim to be succesors of United Workers Party of Avalania, which has been banned in 2002.

[Berhakonia]

Is the state anti-communist? Yes, very
Is the state pro-communist? Not at all
Are communists persecuted? Not by any means
Are non-communists persecuted? No, there would be no reason to
Essentially: what is the states policy on socialism? Socialism is employed in certain areas of the Berhakonian economy, albeit in very small concentrations

[Wajuti]

Is the state anti-communist? Yes, very much so. Not only are communist and socialist parties already affected by the ban on political parties, but any ideology that claims any equality between the Wajuti and the infidel scum we enslave is a threat to the true religion. Active censorship takes place against communist and socialist works.
Is the state pro-communist? No, it is a slaver theocracy.
Are communists persecuted? Yes, just like members of any other political party, they are enslaved or executed.
Are non-communists persecuted? All good Wajuti are expected to be non-communists, since political parties are prohibited as sacrilegious and treasonous.
What is the states policy on socialism? Like any ideology that does not support slavery and presents itself as more true than the traditional religion of the Wajuti way, we persecute socialism within our borders and do slaver raids on them outside of it. However we still do business with them when we have more to gain from trade than taking by force. We are willing to buy weapons, any raw materials that we lack, or if they are willing to sell us political prisoners. Same as with nations of other ideologies.

[The Union of British North America]

Is the state anti-communist? Yes, the two main parties do not support abolition of private property or abolition of private ownership of the means of production. There are some socialist and trade unionist parties in favor of socialization and nationalization in a democratic framework, and more robust social democratic policies.
Is the state pro-communist? No.
Are communists persecuted? No, but there was a period in the late 1920s called the Red Hunts for suspected and actual revolutionary syndicalists whose livelihoods were ruined by investigation and imprisonment, though there were many pardons and commutations during the 1930s, and strengthened civil liberties protections and labor policy reforms to help and protect workers during the Great Slump. There is no active persecution of far left individuals or organizations unless they are prone or willing to use violence and terrorism; in fact any extreme individuals or organizations are monitored heavily for plots to commit acts of violence or terrorism.
Are non-communists persecuted? No; any extremist organization with promises of, or indications to use, violence or terrorism is monitored heavily by domestic security services.
Essentially: what is the states policy on socialism? There are social democratic policies, and a fairly robust social welfare safety net, and strong labor protections and a fair arbitration process. Some provincial and federal politicians are fond of cooperatives, profit-sharing, and basic income.

[Qwabour Harbour]

Is the state anti-communist? no
Is the state pro-communist? yes
Are communists persecuted? no
Are non-communists persecuted? yes (fascists especially)

[Sancta Crvz]

Is the state anti-communist? Yes
Are communists persecuted? With the end of Portuguese rule in Sancta Crvz, and the victory of the right-wing Frente de Salvação Nacional in the civil war, the communism was strictly forbidden and adherents were persecuted. Nowadays the regime's liberalization means that communists are not persecuted as much as before, but the government still tries to prevent any manifestation that defies the current status quo.

[Kato Van]

Is the state anti-communist? no
Is the state pro-communist? no
Are communists persecuted? no
Are non-communists persecuted? no

Communism doesn't have the same history in my universe as it does in real life, so it isn't taken as seriously.

[Skanowka]

We are neutral with communism and socialism ideologies and countries

[UniversalCommons]

Socialism and communism are viewed as systems designed to put the state over the individual citizen. The party is viewed as more important than the citizen in communism and socialism. In capitalism, the market becomes more important than the rights of citizenship, especially in situations like eminent domain or making corporations people. The foundation of our state is the competent, educated citizen. The name of our leaders is The First Citizen, First Among Equals. Our system draws from different economic systems looking for what will ensure the highest standard of living and greatest education of the citizen.

[Straall]

Is the state anti-communist? Yes
Is the state pro-communist? No
Are communists persecuted? Yes
Are non-communists persecuted? Yes

Essentially: what is the states policy on socialism? It had its pice in time, now no more.

[Batea del Nord]

Is the state anti-communist? Most population is anticommunist.
Is the state pro-communist? very few of population supports communist beliefs.
Are communists persecuted? No. they are a minority. they have little seats in the parliament 3 of 135.
Are non-communists persecuted? No.
Essentially: what is the states policy on socialism? persecuted? Most people supports equality, a good national health system, good state owned education and social policies. But there is a market economy too and people tends to be conscient of the cost of the system.
Essentially: what is the states policy on socialism? Depends on the elections. Generally majories fluctuate between laborists, green, liberal-democrats, cristian-democrats and conservatives.

[Pantopian Empire]

Pantopia has been a Communist state since 1947, and only recently switched to a multiparty democracy. The communist party remains popular in rural areas. However, ask any rural person what communism actually means and they will probably give you a blank stare. The vast majority of Pantopians see communism and socialism in a positive light, but believe that those days are over and it is time to move on.

[Roelandia]

Is the state anti-communist? No, Not necessarily
Is the state pro-communist? No, it certainly isn't. It is neutral towards some forms of socialism however.
Are communists persecuted? No
Are non-communists persecuted? No

[Hanafuridake]

Is the state anti-communist? Yes, Communist organizations are banned and members of the HCP are arrested as socialist agitators.
Is the state pro-communist? Far from it. Hanafuridake is an ultra-royalist state which emphasizes class collaboration through guilds. Communism is seen as wasteful and destructive to the natural and spiritual values of the land.
Are communists persecuted? Yes, see #1.
Are non-communists persecuted? Most radical groups and secret societies are, regardless of their place on the political spectrum.
