Hmmm... Strange

Here's an even better one, a TG I received regarding my embassy request from another "collector."

Our observers noted that your nation was banned from Empire of Galactoreus by Galactoreus.

Hello guys, hope everyone is doing well here!

You got the reference! I'm so happy someone got it

Their loss IMO. A couple of the friendliest regions in the game are embassy collectors

This is very true. The older, genuine collectors have been supportive and friendly to us; there does not seem to be any competition.

I got this TG from embassy collector Galactoreus, as to why our embassy was refused:

I've heard of you disrespecting a comrade of mine. If you don't like it shut up and move on.

Some rumor provoked that nasty response. Now really, fellow gypsies, we are never disrespectful. If we don't like something, we release the werewolves.

There's something about the word embassy "collector" that I don't like. Makes it sound dirty.
I would suggest embassy gathering, diplomacy aficionado or "embassyphile".

Embassyphile is way too good.

I am watching a movie that’s one and a half hours long and it’s going by too fast. So I changed my vote.

Since COL prob gonna suppress any message besides RP, does anyone know what’s happening with the Chinese forum topics? Feels and probably is spam.

Isn't socialism already communism?

Tennesseen wrote:Isn't socialism already communism?

There are so many definitions of both words. The Russian Communists considered themselves socialists. Many (I would guess most) socialists regard Russian and Chinese Communism as perversions of socialism. And, of course, there are many who consider themselves communists (in lower case) that have the same negative opinion of the Russian and Chinese regimes as the socialists.

NationStates gets the two confused sometimes as well. It's not entirely true to its own definition of Socialism as a policy (and there is no Communism policy) - some issues assume a dictatorship and party structure on the Soviet model for Socialist nations even when the Autocracy Policy is not in effect.

Without applauding or discounting socialism/communism, because that's not to be discussed here, I found this interesting "2 cow" explanation in another region. It's meant to be humorous, I suppose, but in a way it rings true:

Socialism: You have 2 cows and give one to your neighbor.
Communism: You have 2 cows, the government takes both cows, and maybe gives you some milk.
Fascism: You have 2 cows, you give all the milk to the government and the government sells it.
Naziism: You have 2 cows, the government shoots you and takes both cows.
Anarchism: You have 2 cows, you keep both, shoot the government, and steal another cow.
Capitalism: You have 2 cows, you sell one and buy a bull.

This year has gone fast. Completely forgot N Day had come around.

The zombies are just around the corner.

One day left, and still 40 "embassy collector" nations have not responded to our request. Tomorrow they'll all be wiped off our list.

Oh, N Day hasn't started yet...

As a legitimate communist, I approve of this message! 🤣

Anyways, how you all doing, comrades?

Have you seen the security council resolution against Embassy Collectors?

A resolution? I couldn't find it. What's it all about?
