As a communist in real political belief myself (something of a marxist-leninist, with a few changes of my own to be exact) I agree with the majority of posters here and think you should have saved this thread for a later time. I myslef had considered starting a Communist party, but I would have never brought it up so early in the game. To quote an old republican friend of mine: "it wouldn't be prudent at this juncture". As of this moment I am a member of the Imperialist Party and the UFC which best support my communist beleifs. There are several different types of communism. I believe that the state should govern over the economy and thus reduce corruption among big business and prevent them from taking advantage of the consumer. I also beleive that the people should be entirely responisble for electing the heads of state, and these elected officials should be responsible for making any extremely imporatant state decisions alone. Not the general population (prolitariate) who is often too ignorant to understand. I beleive in a strong military infrastructure based primarily on defending the country from invasion and outside political influences. Under my beleive all forms of education, and healthcare would be completely supported by the state. Thus no one would have to pay to receive a college education or to be healthy. Unlike other more natorious forms of communism I beleive in the freedom of speech and religion, I do not beleive in the police state where it is not neccessary. Unfortunately, almost all forms of communism place a great amount of power into a select few, and it is human nature to take advantage of power. There are so many different philosophies, and indeed many philosophies of socialism. The major ones Being Social Democracy i.e. England's Labour Party, and Democratic Socialism which has never really been tried. As far as this game is concerned a communist or socialist party should only advocate for the switch to the Communist form of government. I would recommend joining one of the already existing parties. In this game, the major issues are weather we're peaceful or warlike and if we keep to ourselves or spread our influence all over the world. If the game were a little more in depth about managing the very lives of our citizens and economic practices, then we could have all sorts of political parties. This game doesn't and it is also a democracy game meaning people are always going to vote for the president, vp, ministers, and on important issues. Thus the basic principals of how the game is run cannot change. So in short, if you want to go to war to win, choose the Warhawks/Imperialists (UFC). If not, join the DIA or don't join a specific party at all. The political parties should be based on how the game will be run in relation to war and expansion. While a little roleplaying might be fun, it would really have no effect on the game itself. I for one avoid RPG's because of the time they absorb to play. With Civ III, I check in on the board once in the morning and once before I go to bed. All I do is vote in the polls and post a few of my opinions.

Another post... OK the program will be decided we a few people can "sit down" and talk about what would be best, and then we can take action. But basically what Redstar 1 said would be our policy. As Redstar1 has also posted an intention to form a Communist Party, if he (or she) would be willing co-create one together, I would be happy for him to be the leader going for President, whilst I attend more administrative post of running the party.

I tend to agree with Mr. there, don´t see much reason in arguing about grammatical errors as long as the message gets across, everybody understands one-another.
On a different note, I want to know whether this party is actually being formed. Also if you are mergin the Communist party and the socialist proposed by Redstar1 will you use the propaganda poster, it is very cool.

. Again I must stress how I thought of saving the idea, but I thought I may as well start now, and gather some people to decide what we could do in the future (it IS too early to do anything now, until we are bigger and more advanced) I was also roleplaying from the perspective of a civilian in Apolytonia on policies, rather than someone sitting on a chair in front of a PC.
HAHAHAHAH 
I Love It! 
I usually pride myself on my spelling and grammar but I do slip. I'll add Redstar1 to my buddies, and anyone else interested. The only thing I ask is that if Redstar's the leader, we at least use the propaganda poster as Papa Chubby said. Also the party IS mainly to provide more flavour and a new power rather than the two main current groups (just becuase we're saying pretty much the same hing now, dosn't mean we wont have different ideas later!)
