Its seen , but they'll never grow as big as Goonswarm. people are just selfish .
They don't commit their free time to a corp just so they can see someone else pew pew their money away It is forbidden to kill. Therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.

Evolution is known to run very high tax rates - sometimes 100% and often in the 70-80% range. I'm a NPC corp alt, any argument I make is invalid. |

Hmmm... real communism or the watered down version European intelligentsia like to fantasize about in their Ivory Towers? With themselves at the "top", of course.
Noting, of course, the "fantasy" part, since in any real effort at Communism it's usually the intelligentsia that are "first against the wall"... threat to the "State" and all that.

No. We've seen discussions about communism on GD. The non-intellectuals and pseudo-intellectuals jump on to explain what communism is... and they are wrong. I just don't understand null sec players.
Please note: Anytime I use the phrase PvP in a post, I'm talking about shooting/combat/killing things/blowing things up. Thank you. |

A 100% tax rate and everything being put in company hangers when not in immediate use, so that others can use them freely. Again, so long as you don't get infiltrated by thieves looking to sabotage you, it can actually work out fine.
To be honest, that's very similar to what we do. For example, we keep a small stash of small industry & mining ships in open corp hangers for exactly the purpose of "public use." Policy is simple: Need one? Borrow one. Put it back when done so someone else can borrow it later. Of course, nothing goes in there that we can't afford to lose - we're generous, not stupid. But the point is we've got a strict policy: Company money goes to company stuff for members of the company. Our CEO (my aunt) doesn't personally own anything bigger than a T1 cruiser.
Then again, we're not in it to get rich. Companies without real business goals fail. We're in it improve our area of space. We like to make sure there are plenty of starter ships out there & enough supplies to keep them going. That we happen to make money at it is just a nice bonus.

But a 100% tax only covers what people earn from missions, correct? What about the isk people earn from mining, manufacturing, margin trading, etc. That would be in the corp member's private wallet, for use as an individual. Mission bounties isk would be shared among the commune members, but other isk would be private property. How would a communist corp get around that? I'm not arguing here, I'm interested in any ideas for work-arounds. You live and learn.-á At any rate, you live.-á -Douglas Adams |

100% tax wouldn't do it. Democratic countries have higher taxes than communist/socialist ones, and Karl Marx himself said taxes are unnecessary for communism.

100% tax? that's not communism... that's what the current American right wants people to believe communism is.
communism means common ownership of the means of production, nothing more.
any corp that advertises "we have a pos were you can do research and manufacturing" or "we offer a buyback program for ores to found corp ships" is communist. in fact, its hardcore communist, to the point where some corps strictly, and violently enforce a rule of "no personal poses". also, people who join those corps and later want to leave, never get compensated for their contribution while they where part of the corp.
i would say most null sec alliances, specially the ones like PL and the current iteration of Nulli are more communist than the real communist ever where, and not only they " work" , they survive traumas any other corp with more "capitalistic" tendencies ever would.
honestly, i thought this was common knowledge... but it seems people don't know just how effective communism is when it comes to managing efforts when the extraction of raw materials and production of goods doesn't require any complex organization of production efforts.
embrace space communism, its the only way to crush your enemies! |
