SCoM

The Socialist Commune of Minecraft

One of the oldest and longest lived Socialist and Communist clans in Minecraft, established on April 1, 2011. SCoM first joined CivCraft on July 4, 2012 after an invitation by ToastedSpikes from ACoM and the Black Cat Commune to aid the struggling leftist forces on the AnCap-dominated server. Whereas the LSIF and early Anarchist communes sought to live side-by-side, if not even within, Anarcho-Capitalist cities and towns, SCoM focused on building an independent and autonomous alternative to the AnCap-dominated world. From the onset, SCoM was openly hostile to Anarcho-Capitalists, refusing any conciliatory or pacifist measures and even resorting to guerrilla tactics and open warfare.

The Raid on Columbia

During the initial days of CivCraft, the minarchist city of Columbia had been the infamous host and harbor of the ruling elite and their griefing parties which took shelter within its borders and crawled so deeply within its politics and institutions that the two became one and the same.

SCoM took action. The mass raiding and griefing of Columbia was spearheaded by SCoM members operating on alt accounts. Its guards and soldiers were slaughtered, Dossier5 et al., its coffers looted, and then lava was dumped and reinforced blocks and swastikas were left behind. Wooden signs were left as a warning with the demand that they cease harboring griefers lest the attacks continue. Public outcry resulted, but the attacks continued until the incumbent government was forced out of inaction to step down. To the dismay of the SCoM participants in the raids, the LSIF stood in solidarity with the minarchists and AnCaps who had previously harassed, oppressed, griefed, extorted, and forced their way to the top of the server hierarchy. The LSIF sat in their villages, pandered, and then refused to take up arms and strike when the moment called for it.

Sovetskaya

With its ultimate goal of creating an alternative to the AnCap norm, SCoM met with the various leftist factions on CivCraft in hopes of creating a CivLeft federation and a new Leftist city. These parties met at the SCoM capital of Sovetskaya and in the newly built parliament where they agreed to several new policies which would begin a new era for Leftists on the server.
