Economy?

Discussion forum r/TeenGovernment u/NotHim1305 posted 2025-12-31 00:00 UTC ↑6 · 100% 22 comments

So I see a lot of socialist parties and some capitalist parties but I just wonder how can these parties exist when we don’t have an economy and a core value of these parties is how they function economically. Are we planning on making one and if so how would that work on a subreddit?

YES WE SHOULD this would be really fun ngl

We'll make one, and it'll work via roleplay over actual functionality. It's really hard to make a functioning economy for a subreddit. So it is all just roleplay.

Well roleplay is better than nothing so I’m happy

Same, but it's very annoying when people comment on my campaign posts saying, "but we don't have an economy so why should I vote for you!?"

I guess these parties focus on the social aspects of these ideologies, which formed over time. Just my guess since this is a *social* experiment

There was some chatter about making a Minecraft server and having our currency be in the game, but I'm not 100% sure we'll go through with it.

I like this idea a lot and it makes the most sense

Equinox_v2 2025-12-31 00:09 UTC ↑3

I absolutely agree. There is one slight issue though, that being I doubt anyone wants to pay for a server, and I doubt anyone owns a physical server to run the Minecraft server on. Definitely might consider making a post about it, asking the people for their opinion.

I’m unfamiliar with Minecraft past like 2015 so I’m not sure how it all works but I’d fs join if it’s made. That’s so dumb though that you have to pay for it

Equinox_v2 2025-12-31 00:14 UTC ↑1

It's not necessarily "dumb," it makes sense. Consider the cost of electricity and how much it costs to buy physical servers, how else will companies pay for all of that? There are a few free server hosting sites, but they are SUPER restrictive.

No no it inconveniences me so it’s dumb 😂 but yeah I see what you mean now you’re right

Kooky_Marketing_327 2025-12-31 02:41 UTC ↑1

how about a Roblox game

Equinox_v2 2025-12-31 02:45 UTC ↑1

Could work

there's been a lot of talk, but not a lot of action so far

TheAgorist_ 2025-12-31 00:10 UTC ↑2

We have a counter-economy at least

NotHim1305 2025-12-31 00:11 UTC ↑1 OP

What do you mean? Am I dumb 😂 

MinecraftGuy7401 2025-12-31 01:18 UTC ↑1

the A^(3) party is the “counter economy” and Agorist has shown that he wants to sell drugs and guns, so  probably something to do with the black market

TheAgorist_ 2025-12-31 02:48 UTC ↑1

and gray market

TheAgorist_ 2025-12-31 02:48 UTC ↑1

the counter-economy consists of the gray and black markets, which are voluntary exchanges that bypass state rules and taxes

I'd hope we could in the future but I am currently in no position to cause this.

There’s a lot of discussion right now, but I don’t know how you would feasibly do that for real. I’m always open to suggestions but some just seem unrealistic or improbable.

maybe a Roblox game
