I am a communist monarchy

[Prusenreich]

I just find it odd how I am getting events that talk about the party and communist issues even though I am also a
Feudal monarchy

[New Excalibus]

Perhaps it's maybe because not many issues focus on Feudalism and Monarchy. Otherwise, can't help you.

Hi Prusenreich,

Hope you're enjoying NationStates

Are you talking about in-game Issues?

If so, this is the wrong sub-forum for this discussion thread. The right place would be the Got Issues (Edit: or maybe, Technical sub-forum?), which can be found here: [ click me ] (for Got Issues) or [ click me ] (for Technical)

See you round the NationStates sub-forum!

The powerhouse Prusssian economy, worth 96.0 trillion Reichmarks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal.

The sentence above is why you have those options, just take note of that last part especially. Other than that, take NS issues with a grain of salt, they aren't to reliable in terms of economic systems.

Monarchy is a system of government that is obsolete. The worker’s revolutionary government is one that is absent of old bourgeois ideals. The Kings of past ages have used their powers to abuse of the poor peasants.

Nepal was a communist monarchy for some time. It happens.
And the old Baltic Prussians were a remarkably egalitarian society too.

As far as I know I'm the most famous Communist monarchy here.....was this just bait to get me into the open?
My fact books explain a little bit of how my communist government work if you interested.
In a lot of ways Real life dictatorship is already a monarchy.....they just haven't claimed it.

You sure you're not referring to the feudal noblemen instead of the king?
There's a difference, you know.

I don't have a problem with it I just find it funny how I am both liberating the proletariat and keeping the peasants under control of their feudal lord

[Trotterdam]

NationStates considers you "communist" if you have a planned economy that does not permit private enterprise, even if your motive for wanting a planned economy is different from liberating the proletariat.

Keep in mind that while, under feudalism, nobles (with the license of the king) exploited the labor of their serfs in a manner that resembles a planned economy, this was never the whole of the economy. There has always been an independent merchant and artisan class, as well, and nobles were often quite happy to encourage this so that there would be more cool stuff on the market that they could buy with all the money they extorted from their serfs. What banning private enterprise means for you, I guess, is that you do not have this middle class, and the work they would do is instead done by other means (perhaps extending the institution of serfdom to activities other than farming).

You could pretend the monarchy abdicated and has become a state symbol, and the party or farmers council or grange actually runs everything. Some medieval farmers were well organized into granges a combination of farm and castle.

Thinking about real life communist monarchies, I suppose for the most part we're looking at monarchies that claim the trappings of socialism.

North Korea springs to mind as the most obvious example, with one family passing on rule by inheritance while claiming to rule according to Communist ideology, and running a planned economy. There was also Romania's communist monarchy, but that was more of a transitional state than anything else.

I think within the fiction of NS we've assumed that an absence of capitalism means the presence of communism as it allows more interesting stories to be told for those non-capitalist countries. Of course actually there's all sorts of different planned economies. The absence of capitalism doesn't necessarily imply a commitment to social equality.

The best way to get a story more specific to your type of nation is to come to Got Issues and to draft an issue with the validity limits of "non-capitalist and monarchy", and present a nice dilemma that might exist in a nation like that.

Yep, that's going into my cringe compilation.
