COMMUNISM FULLY WORKS... (in minecraft)

Is a man not entitled to the grub of his hub? No says the rides share/delivery company. It belongs to the shareholders No says the fast food employee, it belongs to the workers No says the Uber eats driver picking up an extra job after a long day of acting as a taxi cab for drunk partygoers on a Saturday evening. It belongs to me! I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose…Grub Hub…a business where the hungry would not fear the risk of a delayed order, where the midnight munchies would not be bound by petty delivery fees, where those who can afford a twelve late night mcchickens will have their fill, and with the food finally delivered Grub Hub can become your business too…

>looking for a communist minecraft server >ask the host if their server is communist or soviet >They don't understand >I pull out an illustrated diagram explaining what is communist and what is soviet >They laugh and say "it's a fun server sir" >Join server >It's soviet

your Honor, in my client's defense he said: "in Minecraft"

what do you mean it works? OBVIOUSLY it works, marx was known for his minecraft gameplays back then.

I can't believe I just watched 20 minutes of minecraft politics

I think the USSE shows how a socialist system can work well in Minecraft. They used the citizen market to share resources cheaply within their nation and give everyone access to resources to help make them be productive within their nation. This helped all players get what they needed and made the economy stronger even with internal conflicts, the USSE had the longest running democracy in Minecraft, showing strong democratic and socialist values. They used smart strategies to protect themselves from outside threats. The USSE’s long 3 year life proves that their ideology of on cooperation, unity, and shared ownership works.

its crazy how they made life in minecraft. like ppl write & read books, vote in elections, go to war, form alliances, etc etc... is wildd!!!! the idea of an economy is like the least suprising thing abt this lmao

The great block forward 😭

I don’t think Stalin saw the “In Minecraft” part

3 IRL years???????? That's a fourth of 2b2t's history, and almost a fourth of MINECRAFT history. That's incredibly impressive. I wish I joined before... Imagine me being the Minister of Justice or the Attorney-General handling internal affairs and discussions on the military. Lmao, is Zilatra that good too?

Don't play stoneworks anymore, but I was an Eldham player in the USSE's general region. Strategic Vassalization was highly common in Eldham among smaller nations, what is odd about the USSE is how large it was while enacting the same strategy. I was one of those ruling aristocrats in my nation (The Grand Duchy of Samora) and I have had to interact with the USSE on multiple occasions because of that. With the exception of Santos (though, everyone bullied the shit out of Santos), the USSE always was very competent in their foreign relations with me. I can remember participating in the Seronnan Summits in Kazkaya and other cities. Krakhov had some military guards for the in game meeting and they were very friendly and helpful with everyone (despite many of us being monarchs and the USSE hated monarchs and nobility). With all being said- the USSE was, looking back, a joy to interact with and I am grateful for being, at the end of Eldham, the local noble lord of a former USSE province. :troll:

Its 3:23 AM rn, what have i stumbled upon

Quite funny to create this, but even funnier to create this on July 4th.

Did the math. Assuming every real life day accounts for 9 Minecraft days (or 3 hour Minecraft sessions daily), exactly three 365 day years would equal 9,855 Minecraft days or 27 Minecraft years. If we assume at the maximum that each real day is 72 Minecraft days (24 hours Minecraft sessions daily), then it equates to 78,840 Minecraft days or 216 Minecraft years.

salutations from the united collectivist republics of krasnoi! the USSE was a glorious part of ratham history

I don't know how many people watching this are actually Communists, but personally, as ridiculous as it sounds, I, as a Communist, believe this video is very insightful into how we can not only fix some of the issues with previous socialist systems, but completely revolutionize the ways we look at the system. Namely, the "big issue" Stoneworks describes in the video, being how, while communal, cooperative systems have been proven to work well in small, tight-knitted societies, the eventual goal of a united globe under a system like this seems very difficult. I believe that the USSE's method of counteracting the people unwilling to cooperate is perfect. Unbridled comradery, zero tolerance for those who exploit the system, and most importantly, a clear goal that the people can see and work towards. While this is definitely optimistic and frankly, incredibly unconventional as hell, I believe that these characteristics (minus the zero tolerance policy in its current form) can be used to create a system where cooperation is the norm rater than the exception. Where the people understand that what they're working for is for the benefit of not themselves, but everyone (and by extension themselves, of course). Where selflessness and empathy are so ingrained in us that not following it is seen as just a rude or indecent thing to do. Where a highly educated public polices itself based on universally accepted morals, not through force. We can knit our communities closer together, though it will be complicated. But hey, that's what planning is for. And for those who believe everyone being "programmed" to be EMPATHETIC is dystopian or evil, just ask yourself if that's not alreaey what has happened in our current society. Has the hostility and unforgivingness of our Capitalist system not planted seeds of selfishness self-interest in us? To the point where we believe it's human nature?

It’s crazy how despite the overwhelming success of the USSE, it wasn’t adopted more widely across Eldham or Rathnir (I mean Abexilas has a chance but c’mon). I think it’s a problem many players suffer with that they get permanently trapped out of any real sense of power, important, or presence because they are simply locked out of access to the ways there. If you don’t have connections with the rich or with pvpers or mercs, many can’t stake a claim in an environment chock full of established nations with big names. The thing that made the USSE special was that everyone felt they could share a role in its success.  Stoney’s argument that an aristocratic elite emerged ignores that despite accomplishments achieved by certain individuals, these never overshadowed any opportunity for new players to make a stake in society. It was hard to get locked out as long as you tried and put at least moderate effort into contributing to the collective good. The people who succeeded in the USSE weren’t those who were out for themselves, but who had the desire to see everyone rise together.  This is the beauty of the USSE, that the culture and system incentivized collective prosperity. Other nations based on more capitalist or internally competitive systems never lasted as long or successfully precisely because they pitted people against each other. These nations, who seem to resemble and adopt mercantilism over anything capitalist, never have as much of an impact because the story is never about one guy who got rich. History doesn’t remember every Roman emperor nearly as much as it does leaders such as Aurelian or Marcus Aurelius. They found a spotlight because their nation did. The prosperity of the people was the thing that stood out, not their individual wealth or power, and this is shown in the USSE. The reason communism, especially USSE communism works, is this collective aspiration for united harmony and prosperity. I haven’t seen any other nation replicate it on nearly as large and successful scale as the USSE, and I eagerly await any that can achieve the same heights (cough cough Zilatra cough cough maybe).

Bro, USSE is not like Russia. It's more like China. A culturally distinct and semihomogenous state at the edge of the map that never collapsed and only went through repeated waves of highs and laws that can't handle global politics well.

People seem to forget that personal property and private property are two different things. Abolishing private property is the same as disallowing private factories, farms, and business warehouses. They would go to the state and all be managed under one entity and distributing the work as required. Personal property are things like your PC, phone, or car. Things like that are NOT abolished under Socialism or Communism.

To be entirely honest, i have NO idea how i ended up here. I don't watch minecraft content, i'm not a very political guy, and though i do watch people like Kaz Rowe(historians), nothing too hypothetical like strategy- smart-person stuff I'm no fit for That said, i of course barely understand anything in this video, but I'm loving it.
