Welcome to The Communist Bloc!!

Welcome to The Communist Bloc! You've probably come here either attracted by one of our recruitment telegrams, our leftist debates, or just the large population count under the socialist tag. No matter the reason, you are now home and you have now found your place! So what to do? I'm sure there are about a billion things rushing through your head right now, and no idea where to start in this massive place. So let's do a quick overview of the region first. The Communist Bloc (aka TCB or The Bloc) is a Pan-Left-wing region comprised of real-life socialists, communists, and anarchists. We welcome all people regardless of sexuality, identity, ethnic background, or religious creed.

The Bloc is a highly democratic region where anyone has every opportunity to join the community, bring their fresh new ideas, and contribute. We have roleplay, competitive elections, fun community activities, and even the ability for everyone to participate in making the law of the region through our directly democratic institutions. There's something for everyone here in TCB.

Newcomers Guide

So what should you do now that you've joined? Well, there's alot that's available:

  • Apply for Citizenship: Citizenship is your ultimate ticket here in The Bloc. Citizenship on the TCB forums allows you to vote in our regions directly democratic legislature, run for office, gain full access to the discord, and become a full-fledged member of the community. Anyone who wants to do more than answer issues should consider doing this.

  • LinkOur Regional Forum:
    Our regional forum is where most of the political scene of the region takes place. It’s very important for anyone who’s interested in participating in our region's government to join the forums. Making an account is very easy and simple. Should there be any problems, Comrade Kethania should be contacted.

  • LinkOur Regional Discord: Our regional discord is where most of our casual interaction takes place. Much of the active portion of the region’s community spend most of their time here than on the RMB debating. It's highly recommended that comrades join if they want to become active.

  • Our Government: The Bloc’s Government runs on the principles of socialism, equality, collective leadership, direct democracy, and freedom. It has a unique four-branch system. With an executive handling governmental affairs (such as activities, immigration, interaction with other regions), a democratic legislature that makes laws for the region, an elected Judicial Branch to interpret the constitution and the law, and an Administrative Branch which moderates the discord and the forums and acts in a policing capacity. The most important principle, however, is that the World Assembly Delegate is not the leader here. The people, in fact, influence the appointment the WAD through the popular will.

How Can I Get Involved in Regional Government?

To get involved, it’s important that you have citizenship. Without it, you cannot any of the activities below. If you have not already, please refer to the links above for newcomers to get started.

  • Volunteering for the Civil Service: The first thing that every citizen should try and do is apply for a ministry.

  • The Constitution: Anyone who wishes to become more active ought to eventually read the Constitution. Yes, I understand that it is long, personally, it took me a few tries to fully finish it. But it's wise to have knowledge of the highest law of the land.

  • Join the People's Revolutionary Air Force: What now? Do we have a military? To many, this may seem confusing, but it is perfectly normal for NS. The Communist Bloc is home to its very own military; the People's Revolutionary Air Force. It actively assists in raiding right-wing, fascist, and other reactionary regions in the game. Their goal is to eradicate them completely, whether that be through attacking them directly or by defending fellow left wing regions, and to remove the ability of fascists or other reactionaries to use this game as a real-life recruitment space for their toxic creed. LinkJoin the Discord now to find out more! If you feel like you can't dedicate a lot of time to the Bloc's military, but you still want to help, telegram First Minister New Astri, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Defense Krajzovda or Air Marshall Pan kath to be added onto the reserve roster.

  • The NSLeft: The Solidarity Pact of the NationStates Left, or the NSLeft, is the largest and most influential leftist alliance in the game. TCB is a member of this important alliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • Someone is misbehaving on the RMB! What do I do?:
    Please click this Big Report Button Thingie to send a telegram to our RMB moderators. You should include links to posts/pages containing improper material. Please also report to game moderators if applicable.

  • Why should I become a citizen?
    Many reasons. Citizenship is like a switch from "just hanging around" to "being a full-fledged part of the region". Citizenship allows one to vote in elections, run for positions in government, participate in the discussion on forums (which is where the most of it happens), and all that good stuff. If you are not yet a citizen - you're missing out.

    You may be suspicious of this whole bureaucracy, and wondering why can't we just allow the aforementioned freedoms to everyone. Well, there are good reasons. This world is dark and full of very very bad people doing all sorts of illegal and immoral activities. Citizenship allows us to prevent them from running for offices, spying on our region, etc. Unless you are one of those very very bad people, you have nothing to worry about.

    If you have any more questions, please, feel free to telegram Solveneia, and he will answer to the best of his ability.

  • Who is actually in power in The Communist Bloc?

    The Head of State is the First Minister(FM), who is elected by the citizenry in the First Round of Ministerial Elections.
    The Head of Government is collectively the Council of Ministers(CoM), which is elected by the citizenry.
    The Head of Legislature is the Speaker of the Legislative Committee, who is internally selected by the Committee, which itself is elected by the citizenry.

    To see who currently occupies these roles and more, please view this dispatch..
    All elections are conducted on LinkThe Communist Bloc forums.

  • Why is my application not being processed?
    Sadly enough, processing applications take time and effort. It also gets pretty tedious after a while. A couple of days is a reasonable enough expectation of the processing time. We haven't forgotten about you, so just exercise patience.
    Oh, and if after a week your application is not yet processed, then we probably have forgotten about you, so feel free to complain to Solveneia or another government official displayed in the regional page we will look at what can be done. If something is unclear, please, feel free to telegram Solveneia, or another government official.

    Sadly enough, processing applications take time and effort. It also gets pretty tedious after a while. A couple of days is a reasonable enough expectation of the processing time. We haven't forgotten about you, so just exercise patience.
    Oh, and if after a week your application is not yet processed, then we probably have forgotten about you, so feel free to complain to Solveneia or another government official displayed in the regional page we will look at what can be done.

Greetings comrade! Im from America so I know you certainly have enough of us getting involved in south american affairs. Either way I think Castillo is someone who deserves out critical support at the very least. He is certainly socially conservative, being both anti gay marriage and anti abortion, but Peru is a difference country, with a different culture and we should follow the lead of LGBT and womens groups in Peru which both supported and campaigned for Castillo.
Venezuela is a socialist aspiring nation. That is in my opinion nondebatable fact. Whether you agree with their path to socialism is not important when a nation is under siege by the most powerful imperialist state in world history. Nicolas Maduro has made mistakes, he has appointed the wrong people to the wrong jobs at times and like all humans is fallible. Despite this the life of the Venezuelan working class, prior to the crippling sanctions of the most recent few years, were exponentially better off than prior to the bolivarian revolution and it is why despite the hardships Maduro and the PSUV retains high support amongst the proletariat

Hello friend! Thank you for the reply, and I definitely agree about Castillo. He is socially conservative, but overall better than Keiko Fujimori, I would've been severely disappointed to see another Fujimori take power. To be totally honest, Castillo's social conservatism is actually fairly common in the leftist sphere of Latin American politics. It's unfortunate but this is a developing continent, and things like LGBT+ rights are secondary, or sometimes even outright excluded from socialist and left-wing movements throughout the continent. The Catholic church has an outsized influence even in leftist spaces, and most people here are concerned moreso with the broader class struggle than feminist and LGBT issues. Chavez in Venezuela, Correa here in Ecuador, Morales in Bolivia and other influential leftist figures, although they did much for justice and equality, you wouldn't find any of them too willing to support LGBT issues. So in reality, Castillo is not exceptional for his social conservatism, it's just a part of the culture here in Latin America for now, which is unfortunate, but that's one of the things that leftists in the north don't always understand, not at fault of their own.

In regards to Venezuela, I agree on most things. Venezuela is indeed under siege by the united states with an oppressive sanctions regime, and the economic fallout in the country is undoubtedly due largely to those very sanctions. It must be said though, that Maduro has lost much of his support due both to his own terrible decisions and aspects not of his fault, such as the sanctions. My wife is from Venezuela, and although she does not support the opposition, she finds it difficult to find nice words or voice support for Maduro. The Venezuelan left, on a government level, has been largely commandeered by corrupt or incompetent individuals who have only made things worse. Although Maduro's government deserves support against the sanctions regime and is certainly a revolutionary entity, the left must recognize Maduro's failures and corrupting factors within the PSUV, and be willing to criticize it, because the PSUV in many ways has lost its way and is in dramatic need of renovation.

I think I've finally been playing this game long enough to realize it's homophobic. "Increase LGBT representation in government and cabinet" decision leads to decreased civil rights and political freedoms and increased authoritarianism and social conservatism......

Hello my friend, i'm from Brazil so i think i can talk about sout american politics. I think the problem with our region is that most of our history we had violent military dictatorships that we're supported by the USA becaused they feared an "communist threat" and wanted to have full control from us. The military coup in my country was supported by the north american and the coup in 09/11 on Chile, that started one of the most violent regimes in this region, was suported by the CIA since the democratic elected president, Salvador Allende, had simpaties for socialism.
Here in Brazil we are suffering with genocide by our President, Jair Bolsonaro, which is a dumber Trump verison. He is an extreme right politian and his supporters ask for military intervention. Our situation is delicate since his adversary in next year election it's Lula from PT, which translates to Worker's party, and since he is a left politian he is considered by Bolsonaro supporters a communist that will begin a communist regime in here.
Yeah next year election Lula will definatelly win, if there is no fraud, and if he wins Bolsonaro will probably start a coup because he have the support of low rank military officer and some high ranks
I have to say that Maduro and Bolsonaro are the same kind of politician, both want complete power and don't care about their people.

Forgot to talk about Peru elections...i don't have much to say about it only that i know that is a warning for us brazilians that Bolsonaro will do that exact smae thing if he loses the elections. He will do just like the far right lady from Peru and Donald Trump...he will accuse of fraud, but the problem here is that he have military support as i said.

That is my opinion mi amigo from Ecuador.

Brezzia is against the Repeal "Toxic Heavy Metals Act" currently at vote.
The definition of Toxic Heavy Metals (THM) as "potentially toxic" is correct. Scientific studies use statistical analysis and they can only show potentially higher risk for human health. A definition that "require that toxic heavy metals actually be toxic", as suggested by the repealer, could be used to exclude any THM from the provisions of a hypothetical new resolution.
Therefore we consider the reasons for this repeal absurd.

That's what I'm about to say, Maduro is on our side like Chávez, Correa, Castillo and more but then again, I'm in no position to talk about politics in Latin America since I'm not from there. I took it our comrade knows more what's really happening there than us that no living there.

I really have no single clue about metal. And I have no idea what to vote. I just being honest, not trying to be dumb.

I read there's something about 'environment', but I can't grasp the idea of the text. If I simply want to protect nature, what to vote comrades? (asking for comrades)

I do not know anything about metal. Resolution #371 encourages recicling, while the repeal complains of not being able to throw non-toxic metals into the environment. I believed that metals were one of the easiest and most valuable waste to recycle, but someone could give you more detailed information.

My Brazilian friend, your reply is much appreciated, I actually visited Brazil back just before the pandemic started, I visited Rio de Janeiro, (typical for a tourist, I know.) Brazil is a beautiful country and I consider your country to be a friend of Ecuador and to all the people of Latin America. And yes my friend, Latin America as a continent experiences high degrees of corruption and instability mostly due to the heavy handed nature of United States intervention as well as intervention from other imperial forces before. Our continent has a bloody history, and the people are only just beginning over the past 20 years or so begun to see what we can do if we all cooperate and can act independently of United States control.

People like Lula in Brazil were and still are instrumental to Latin America's collective success, and Lula has my absolute support for next year's elections against Bolsonaro. Like you, I just hope that when Bolsonaro claims fraud, as is becoming increasingly common among right-wing forces when they lose an election, I can only hope that his attempts to maintain control will fail. Bolsonaro and Ivan Duque in Colombia are the most corrosive forces for leftist and democratic movements across the continent. Their removal from power is a necessity for peace in Latin America and the end of United States interventionism.

As for your thoughts about Maduro, I have to agree. Maduro, although on the left, is much the same as Trump or Bolsonaro, in the way he thinks and speaks and the way he leads Venezuela. He is an authoritarian and only does what he can to stay in power. Many of the social services aimed at helping the poor in Venezuela have been dramatically cut, workers rights have been violated, he is destroying indigenous land to continue mining for gold, either injuring or even killing the indigenous people who dare to protest against the destruction of their lands. He has committed in recent years the same austerity measures that we would oppose under any capitalist or right wing government. While Maduro and the PSUV deserve support against the extreme sanctions against them, we should never look at Maduro as a positive force for leftist influence, and we should always be willing to point out his wrongdoings, or else we would be hypocritical at best.

What did you expect from a Latin American country? They are all corrupt and have zero interest for the people except a few country here and then with good president but still all of them are corrupt in someway

Honestly I like to hear outside opinions on Latin America and our politics, and to try to educate when I can. We all must be able to care about and speak out in solidarity for our working class friends and movements all across the world. We're all a united people around the world, with common dreams and aspirations.
