Socialistic Britain, Xerimerc, Venesia Grande

Scotland should be independent from your disgusting kingdom of north France
Socialistic Britain, Lemona, Xerimerc

Socialistic Britain, Lemona, Venesia Grande
Scotland and Ireland are within the European Archipelago known as the British Isles
Socialistic Britain, Lemona, Venesia Grande
I know
Dont care
Also being socialist has worked out great for me
Socialistic Britain, Lemona, Xerimerc
Because I dont want my children to die to something created by man.
That fate is already near us, sentient robots make it even closer
Socialistic Britain, Xerimerc
The first part, True
I'm just not going to comment on the last part [sub]and how dare you call us north France Louisianan >:([/sub]
Lemona, Xerimerc, Venesia Grande
Xeri it just so Happens its the English who called it the British isles

Socialistic Britain, Xerimerc

[sub]ignoring the ones in my b-[/sub]
Socialistic Britain, Lemona, Venesia Grande
Oh, poor you, I hope you will recover from socialism anytime soon. Of course, I will include you in my prayers, if you want to.
Also, I am neutral in that conflict as of now and wish for both sides to cooperate peacefully. I am also offering both parties to hold peace talks in the great nation of Venesia Grande.

The term "British Isles" entered the English language in the late 16th century to refer to Great Britain, Ireland and the surrounding islands. In general, the modern notion of "Britishness" evolved after the 1707 Act of Union.
Socialistic Britain, Lemona, Venesia Grande
[sub]Alabama is better than Louisiana and should take it over[/sub]
Lemona, Xerimerc
Louisiana is not just French
Also if you remember
Half of your culture is from France
Socialistic Britain, Lemona, Xerimerc
Yes yes yes, I dont remember did you claim land on the map yet?
Socialistic Britain, Xerimerc, Venesia Grande
agreed
Socialistic Britain, Xerimerc
Wait
are you on the map?
Lemona, Xerimerc, Venesia Grande
And also the Romans called it that
The Romans happen to be invaders
Socialistic Britain, Xerimerc
ewe
Socialistic Britain, Lemona
Unlikely
Being socialist works better than being capitalist here
I have socialism irl but on here it is useful
Socialistic Britain, Lemona, Xerimerc
I cut my ankle with a door
my incompetence bends reality with its magnitude
Socialistic Britain, Lemona, Venesia Grande
No, do I have to?
Socialistic Britain, Lemona, Xerimerc
I think you misunderstood what I said
And that is wrong good sir >:(
Lemona, Xerimerc
Hate
I mean hate
Socialistic Britain, Lemona, Xerimerc, Venesia Grande
Not really, but if you want to be in rp, yes.
The capitalists here have to work harder
Socialistic Britain, Xerimerc, Venesia Grande
but
but why
Socialistic Britain, Lemona, Venesia Grande
No its not
The Normans are half the reason britain exists today
You are a essentially a froggy
Socialistic Britain, Lemona, Xerimerc
The rights of citizens
I took the good parts of socialism and the good parts of capitalism and slammed em together
Making restricted capitalism or welfare capitalism
Socialistic Britain, Xerimerc, Venesia Grande
Ah ok, how do I join the map then?
Socialistic Britain, Lemona, Xerimerc
The Normans were viking frogs
Socialistic Britain, Xerimerc
Ask Britain
Socialistic Britain, Xerimerc, Venesia Grande
I like being able to open my own buisness
Socialistic Britain, Lemona, Xerimerc
Which in my opinion, is better than both
Socialistic Britain, Xerimerc, Venesia Grande
Elaborate
Because Socialism and Capitalism are contradictory and you can't really have both
Socialistic Britain, Lemona, Venesia Grande
So if we're froggys
Wouldn't that make you froggys?
[sub]and I was trying to say "north france, Louisianan >:("[/sub]
Lemona, Xerimerc

Socialistic Britain, Xerimerc

Socialistic Britain, Lemona, Xerimerc

Lemona, Xerimerc
Yeah like 1% Irish
Also lol Belgian that means you have French blood
Socialistic Britain, Lemona, Xerimerc
We're still froggys though
Lemona, Xerimerc
In one sentence?-Socialism while sounding good on paper (maybe)-especially some of its economic attitudes-doesnt work out irl usually plus its compliance to conformity, pseudo-religious state-enforced atheism and most of its views on personal freedoms are horrible and dangerous and pose a threat. I.e. the compliance to conformity is especially a threat towards lgbtq+ people amongst other minorities.
Socialistic Britain, Lemona, Xerimerc
mmmn
Socialistic Britain, Lemona, Venesia Grande
So xeri, imagine you can make your own business
But, unlike standard capitalism, there are more restrictions and welfare.
Good parts of socialism, having poor people not left in the dust mixed with capitalism allowing people to make businesses
Now ofc if you didnt make restrictions and have welfare this wouldnt work.
so companies cant get too powerful and they have to follow strict guidelines but you can still make a business and poor peeps arent left out
Socialistic Britain, Xerimerc, Venesia Grande
okay, what cultures or whatever are you related to?
Lemona, Xerimerc
Hahahaha you admit it
Socialistic Britain, Lemona, Xerimerc
I would say communism is the one that looks better on paper but in modern society hasnt worked out
No one knows how socialism would actually work as we havent had socialism
And we havent had real communism either
Socialistic Britain, Xerimerc
Thats capitalism. Under communism your business will be taxed to the max and you may even loose your head-quite literally-for being too bourgeois.
Socialistic Britain, Lemona, Xerimerc
your avoiding the fact you are also a froggy therefore just as bad
Lemona, Xerimerc
Jesus
Socialistic Britain, Xerimerc, Venesia Grande
I already said
Irish Scottish and German
I have no froggy blood
Socialistic Britain, Lemona, Xerimerc
[I]your related to jesus?
Huh[/I]
Lemona, Xerimerc, Venesia Grande
"pseudo-religious state-enforced atheism" What. That's... that's not what socialism is
" views on personal freedoms are horrible and dangerous and pose a threat" Explain
"threat towards lgbtq+ people amongst other minorities" Explain
Also, what part of socialism has "compliance to conformity" as a necessity?
Socialistic Britain, Lemona, Venesia Grande
Objection
your Louisianan
Lemona, Xerimerc
Communism
and Socialism
are different things
Socialistic Britain, Lemona
they have similar practices and come from a similar thing but one is more freeing and one bits more what Venice has been saying, but Venice is still off about many for that one
Socialistic Britain, Xerimerc
"The main difference is that under communism, most property and economic resources are owned and controlled by the state (rather than individual citizens); under socialism, all citizens share equally in economic resources as allocated by a democratically-elected government."
Socialistic Britain, Lemona
ye
Socialistic Britain, Xerimerc
Depends on the setting really
Socialistic Britain, Lemona, Xerimerc
One is of Earth, while the other is of Gaia, which is Earth but not
Socialistic Britain, Lemona
Alien earth
Socialistic Britain, Xerimerc
I mean more like tech level and time period
Socialistic Britain, Lemona, Xerimerc
It's best described as a half-modern half-futuristic rp, it's set in 2022 but we have slightly futuristic weapons and tech depending on your SA [sub](scientific advancement)[/sub], The first map is run by Pinevilla, it's just a simple earth map, the 2nd is run by me, it's supposed to be a different planet with slight modifications.
Lemona, Xerimerc
sci-fi stuff in modern times
Socialistic Britain, Xerimerc
Also a lot of this region know a lot about sci-fi or video games
Just a warning
Socialistic Britain, Xerimerc, Venesia Grande
Just got an idea
Should I put the rp rules in the 2nd map Factbook but just under the map?
And make it a bit more polished
Lemona, Xerimerc
Ok
Socialistic Britain, Xerimerc, Venesia Grande

No, under communism/socialism the state will prohibit all religion and religious institutions and wants you (as an individual) to give up your religious and spiritual views as it stands in the way of the nation, thus enforcing atheism which in itself becomes a pseudo-religion by being enforced and sponsored fanatically.
Soc/Com also doesnt allow for personal freedom since most things, even personal interests such as sports and outdoor activities (a.k.a. hobbies) will become either state-regulated or the state will interfere in them to stamp out any and all personal beliefs that interfere and vary from their pov, since it views everything else as treason.
I dont think I was being unclear when I said that socialism and communism are a threat towards minorities due to their high levels of compliance to conformity and peer pressure that they usually make use of which, of course, is suppressing differing povs and stances, including on sexuality and gender identity and surrounding issues, which thus and thereby can be highly psychologically damaging as well as physically harmful to lgbt+ individuals (especially trans*gender, etc).-The compliance to conformity also further marginalises groups that are already marginalised, like religious, ethnic, and cultural, etc. since they have lost all rights to express themselves as a minority.
The compliance to conformity is one of the most quintessential parts of communism and socialism; just remember Tetris, every little piece surrenders its individuality for the greater good, the nation comes first, then the individual.
Socialistic Britain, Lemona, Xerimerc
My friend, I am 99% sure you are not describing socialism, but Stalinism
Socialistic Britain, Lemona, Venesia Grande
cheeseburgerism
Socialistic Britain, Xerimerc, Venesia Grande
Barely. Theres no real difference irl; the outcome mostly seems to be the same. The economy is bad, people are starving, prices for EVERYTHING-even basic nutrition-like bread and water-are through the roof, people are displeased and dissatisfied with their government, high corruption, etc.
The only things halfway good are the health services and the education, but thats usually it.
Socialistic Britain, Lemona
Im just gonna watch
as my father once said
communism is good in paper, but when enacted it fails because of human nature
he didnt say anything about socialism though
and that was a direct quote but said somethin like it
Socialistic Britain, Xerimerc, Venesia Grande
That is a soc/com position, isnt it?-At least it pretty accurately sums up soc/com lead nations irl.
Socialistic Britain, Lemona, Xerimerc
this explains so much
Lemona, Xerimerc
Quick note: You seem to be mostly describing the fate of the Soviet Union
As Lemonyboi mentioned earlier, True Communism has never been achieved irl
The SU was more a weird state-capitalist dictatorship
state-capitalism
Not communism or socialism.
Socialistic Britain, Lemona
Britain do you think nucl is into Archies
Socialistic Britain, Xerimerc
Also who and where is this Britain-person for map-drawing purposes?-Where can I find them?
Socialistic Britain, New United Common-Lands, Lemona, Xerimerc
Well I mean
Ask nucl, idk
Then there's this
Lemona, Xerimerc
Wh
I am right here

"Stalinism is used to describe the period during which Joseph Stalin was the leader of the Soviet Union while serving as General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1922 to his death on 5 March 1953."
The wikipedia entry for Stalinism DOES mention that socialism was an aspect of it, but specifically "socialism in one country". There are also a bunch of other things mixed in, such as a "Cult of personality" that aren't synonymous with socialism

I disagree on it being state-capitalism; which in and by itself is a paradox, tbh.
A lot of Soc/Coms say true socialism/communism has never been achieved but dont provide us with an alternative pov of what said reality would look like. Plus, even if it were tried, it would probably fail.

Socialistic Britain, Lemona
strange things have happened here
Socialistic Britain, Xerimerc
Yayyyyyy
Lemona, Xerimerc, Venesia Grande
"State capitalism is an economic system in which the state undertakes business and commercial (i.e. for-profit) economic activity and where the means of production are nationalized as state-owned enterprises (including the processes of capital accumulation, centralized management and wage labor)." Sounds like the Soviet Union to me :D
"In their historical analysis of the Soviet Union, Marxist economists Richard D. Wolff and Stephen Resnick identify state capitalism as the dominant class system throughout the history of the Soviet Union."
Socialistic Britain, Lemona
Im not a socialist or communist
Im a welfare capitalist or restricted capitalist
And im the one to say that true communism hasnt been achieved
Because it hasnt
Human nature has corrupted it
Marxs ideas were never used without having a twist on them
Socialistic Britain, Xerimerc, Venesia Grande
Yaeyyyyhugss
Socialistic Britain, Lemona
Hmm, I dont know, maybe it wasnt, but what was it then?-Fascism?!-That would be odd.
Socialistic Britain, Lemona, Xerimerc
