INTRODUCTION
A few days ago, myself and a few comrades were discussing the political and economic situation in real life. All of us are tired of the economic uncertainty and poverty that all of the Irish proletariat face every moment, and the political stagnation and inaction of all governments. Most of us are communists in real life, and though we except all communist ideologies, we've chosen to not allow social democrats, or other "pink" leftists.
We are currently collecting donations for the creation of the party. If you want to support us after reading this article, do not hesitate to send a donation to this account. We except all donations, any currency, big or small.
Also, if you wish to join our struggle for a better Ireland or have any questions, feel free to send a message to me ingame, or talk with me on the Irish IRC.
Why We've Created This Party
You may be wondering whe we've created this party when there is another party in Ireland that claims to be Communist, and is far larger. I speak, of course, of The Labour Party. The reason we have cut ties with Labour and decided to start a new communist party is because we believe Labour has lost it's values, and the principles it was founded on. The Labour party now has the added title of "The Republican Party". We believe that the Labour Party has ended its focus on Communism, or even Socialism, and has focused itself on nationalism, imperialism and militarism.
While our party supports the reclaimation of the North, we are not a nationalist party. We believe that to think that one country is better then any other, or that one nationality is better, entirely defeats the point of Communism, as Communism is about equality in many ways.
On Imperialism, The Labour Party is a loud supporter of Brolliance, as much as Brolliance claims to be a "defensive alliance", it has shown itself to be overtly imperialist, such as when Brolliance member Japan invade South Korea to gain territory. Prominent Labourer, Ibhoy, has been an outspoken Brolliance supporter and advocate until he left the game, bordering on fanatical. This devotion to an imperialist alliance and to imperialist ambitions in a party that claims to be for the working class, and socialist, I find most disturbing and misleading.
Finally, the Labour party recently had a president take office, until he was impeached, and has long had the most members in congress. Despite this, there has never been one state commune in Ireland, nor has there ever been the hint or the intention of introducing Socialism or Communism into Irish Society.
Think about just how many socialist or communist political or economic actions the Labour party has orchestrated, even how active they are. You will be sorely disappointed.
What We Stand For
At its heart, the Communist Party is Marxist. How this effects our plan for the game will be outlined in the following chapter.
We stand, at the foundation, for a pure communist economy, without a hint of private market interference. I will make it clear now, we do not want a mixed market. The entire economy will consist of communes. I will outline how this works also in the following chapter.
We want a nation where everyone is equal, and receives exactly what they need, no more, no less. You will receive weapons during wars if you are part of the People's Militia, of course.
Although we are a marxist party, we accept all communists. Trotskyist, Leninist, Stalinist, Maoist, Luxemburgist(Yes, even you, Johnobrow.). Although they will have to accept the marxist foundations and intentions of the party, they are welcome to contribute their own ideas, and democraticly act on them.
As well as Communism, we stand for direct democracy. Everyone will get a say. Our plan of action and how we will achieve our communist society, and how it will be run are outlined, yet again in the following chapter.
How Our System Will Work
In the Communist system of our party, the economy would completely consist of communes. Initially, after our rise to power, a dictatorship of the proletariat would be initiated, whereas the private sector would be destroyed via high taxes. These high taxes will be maintained as a tool against the bourgousie. After the private sector is eliminated, state funds will be used to establish Communes in every needed sector, food, weapons, etc. You will be able to sign up on a spreadsheet, and will be assigned a commune based on your skillset. Because we will have 99% income tax, and a minimum wage of 1 currency, you will only receive 1 cent per hour. However, this is irrelevant, as you will be given 7 food every monday, and if we have spare houses, low wellness workers will be given them.
After the Communes are established, and the bourgousie have been driven out, the dictatorship of the proletariat will end, and a direct democracy based around workers councils will begin. Each Commune will have a worker's council, which will consist of all the workers in it. The Councils' meeting place will be on the official forums.(We may have to create new national forums if the Bourgousie pig, Kolshire, resists.) The Councils will decide What kind of material is made, which workers houses are distributed to, and other things. The councils will also decide military matters.
Our Misc Plans For A Better Ireland
We also have a Study Grant Program planned. This is where a low-skilled worker can apply for a grant, and he'll be removed from his commune, and be given Food every monday anyway. What will happen, is that instead of working, he'll put all of his hours into studying his skill. Allowing it to increase miles faster! Boosters might also be granted if gold is in good supply.
Another plan a marxist study group, wherein people would be recommended books on Marxism, and given links to audiobooks of things like Das Kapital and The Communist Manifesto. They would then discuss it with comrades on an IRC channel.
Thanks for reading, comrades. Please consider supporting us!

How extremely gross.
LONG

FASCISM
Glory comrades o/
Good Luck. I liked your idea of paying people to study to up there skills quickly, might have merit.
Good luck comrades o7
Good luck Comrades...
I agree, the Labour Party has become rather nationalist.
Good luck Comrades...
LOL
Learn how to spell Accept instead of except and I might think about it. Actually I won't.
What a load of drivel that article was. You really do make me laugh, you won't destroy the free market you will just send it elsewhere and cause everyone to leave Ireland as they wont be able to make any money or any progress ingame.
If the Communist party ever gets to power, would the last person to leave Ireland please remember to turn off the lights.
Good luck but this will go up in smoke, there will never be a purely commune ran Ireland without a free-market, It would be nice but it simply won't happen. You won't get the majority to make this happen. If you want to trash talk Labour about nationalism, I'd find a better pivot. The nationalism you are relating us to is purely in essence, racism and white pride that is seen in America. We are Republican and our nationalism is for a United Ireland and preservation of our culture, not because we believe we are greater than others.
Definition of Irish Republicanism : "Irish republicanism is an ideology based on the belief that all of Ireland should be an independent republic."
Never did we state we were better than any other ethnic, religious, or minority demographic. Where you have gotten this from I do not know, your simply trying to make your party look greater to pull votes, pure propaganda. The Nationalism we represent is the continuation and prevalence of Irish culture and Identity, it's not white pride so stop accusing us of something that isn't correct.
We also still believe in communism and socialsim. Within Labour, our current PP is actually the man behind those plans, another point you obviously overlooked.
Thirdly, you said we focused on Militarism. Excuse me Karl,but can you name hardly any communist party in the world that didn't take power by force? exactly
All you are is another mud slinger and you did a horrible job at it.
Interesting idea, but if state Communes were implemented it would drive away the majority of the Irish population. You would also have to export A LOT of products in order to make cash. (For MPPs and such.)
You are correct, JGutenberg, it is a part of my plan to buy export licenses and export whenever weh ave a large surplus. This would create huge revenue for the state, imo.
Comrade Karl Marx I see you understand very little of economics. Your policies would ruin Ireland and lead to abject poverty. There would be a mass exodus as everyone left the country, and no one would be willing to work for your communes except your followers. Besides you will never get the majority required to pass such policies.
Better dead than red, know what I mean?
Well said Sean.
That's a really nice multiple account you have there, Maxie.
I don't really on multliple accounts unlike those of you on the left. You just spread lies and rumours, that is all your party is good for. Sean is a pretty good sock if he is considering he's actually higher than me. And we don't even interact.
Your really pathetic Karl Marx, and deluded if you think you will ever be able to implement your horrible plans to destroy Ireland's economy.
This is cool, even if manni is obviously a filthy statist.
haha
not voted
Maxie, u mad?
Go back to eSoviet Union, oh wait.
Great. More commies.
lolll
I notice there are 17 votes but only 3 subions.
What people are saying is, yeah it was a good laugh so we will give it a vote, but we wont subscribe as we dont want to read anymore of your rubbish.
lol
u mad?
:roll:
Maxie, what the hell are you talking about... lol
Brain are you telling me you can't read as well as being a left wing extremist? I think it's pretty clear what I said.
Manni, Harshness :'(
Oh great, Communists that I'm not willing to work with... :/
Communism has never worked. But it is working hard in the execution department....
here is proof capitalism works:

go on comrades 🙂
What's this idiocy? 🙂
"Sean is a pretty good sock if he is considering he's actually higher than me"
someone craft this into a new meme plz 😉
Join ICA !
If you guys wind up controlling Ireland, maybe you can hang out with our Commies and end this stupid war. :3
I totally agree with this article. I have been saying for a long time that Labour is more Republican than Communist. I support you all to the max, and I wish you luck for the future.
I did'nt know Labour were Commies

"Thirdly, you said we focused on Militarism. Excuse me Karl,but can you name hardly any communist party in the world that didn't take power by force? exactly"
Lol.
[removed]
This is an unfortunate and ill-advised split from Labour. I realize some communists may not like the idea of Republicanism, but if you don't like it, get out of eIreland.
“If you remove the English Army tomorrow and hoist the green flag over Dublin Castle., unless you set about the organization of the Socialist /Republic/ your efforts will be in vain. England will still rule you. She would rule you through her capitalists, through her landlords, through her financiers, through the whole array of commercial and individualist institutions she has planted in this country and watered with the tears of our mothers and the blood of our martyrs ”
Socialism and Republicanism in Ireland go hand in hand my friend. And that's straight from one of the greatest Socialists in Ireland, even the world.
GO INTERNATIONALISM!
Greetings from Croatian Alliance of Communists!
lol this'll be funny if it gets in
LMAO! This is a joke right? Right? ROFLMAO!
😒
You're going the wrong way mate. Labour is already too far left. Pink in the new Red, Social Democrats FTW!
Too far left for me. Im an Irish republican first and foremost socialist second. Communism in its purest form is stateless and I quite enjoy being Irish thanks.
What next Erepublik with just one big country? ffs who would we have wars with lol.
