<COMMUNISM> was founded on April 16 2007 on the US server Gorgonnash by a terrible human being named Spaceballs. The goal of the guild was essentially to piss off as many people as possible and to attract like minded individuals to do the same. COMMUNISM began dabbling in some light Karazhan raiding, but couldn't really get past Moroes because they sucked and Spaceballs couldn't lead worth a shit. The guild was fairly infamous on Gorgonnash from its inception given their proclivity for pissing people off and starting giant flame wars on the forums, as well as their memorable Auchindoun battles with <Serenity> and their leader, Georgepatton. | <COMMUNISM> was founded on April 16 2007 on the US server Gorgonnash by a terrible human being named Spaceballs.

In April of 2012, Jessikuh contacted many of the COMMIES on Facebook to come play World of Warcraft again with them on Darkspear. They had recently quit Vox Radix and had formed with Prude a new guild, <Friend Zone>. A good many of the old COMMIES would return and soon Friend Zone was a full fledged raiding guild. | In April of 2012, Jessikuh contacted many of the COMMIES on Facebook to come play World of Warcraft again with them on Darkspear.

The era also referred to as the '''COMMUNISM Revival Era''' or '''3rd COMMUNISM Era''' began in July of 2013, when Prude returned from his exile in Texas. His new lease on life lead him and Shelarahn to revive COMMUNISM from the ashes, along with Prudes high school acquaintance, [[Pigeon]]. Several other people from Friend Zone who were also cast out, such as [[Dlight]] and [[Nuggsbunny]], transferred to Lightninghoof to begin a new COMMUNISM there. This new guild quickly gained traction and began outpacing the COMMUNISM of old under Shelarahn and Prudes leadership. Many great bits and ops took place, like trolling a cancer patient into thinking Pigeon was a girl and recording a PvP guild leader shitting himself mid-battleground. | The era also referred to as the '''COMMUNISM Revival Era''' or '''3rd COMMUNISM Era''' began in July of 2013, when Prude returned from his exile in Texas.

Wrong Think Tanks era began with an expanding of political chat into more nuance categories such as discussion about the "clown world" and internet drama. Many rapefugees were coerced into joining the group, increasing chat activity by volumes. | Wrong Think Tanks era began with an expanding of political chat into more nuance categories such as discussion about the "clown world" and internet drama.

On March 1st, Taylor officially abdicated from leading WTT and passed on duties to [[AlexanderDeLarge]] and [[Peaches]]. This change in leadership freed up Taylor to become more combative to former enemies, leading to the [[The Skirmish Of Wonka Plains]] and [[Operation Overlard]], both of which would end with [[The Sauce Affair]] and Peaches stepping down as admin, leaving Alex the sole leader of WTT. | On March 1st, Taylor officially abdicated from leading WTT and passed on duties to [[AlexanderDeLarge]] and [[Peaches]].

The remainder of 2019 came and went with the Golden Age continuing in full force. 2020 arrived in force, as WTT found itself under attack once again by lunatic Goons in the form of [[The Troon Uprisings]], resulting in the end of Clown World War I and another massive purge of Bimmers from SA related Discords, and while this resulted in a short term drop in membership, entirely from people who never talked, it ultimately led to a massive boom in recruitment as the brand gained a new following. During the purge, certain SA Discord owners began referring to the group as "Wideboys", and appreciating the name, the mods of WTT decided to re-brand the entire discord to WIDEBOYS, citing its similarity to BEEFY BOYS and the capitalization and one word scheme of COMMUNISM. | The remainder of 2019 came and went with the Golden Age continuing in full force. 2020 arrived in force, as WTT found itself under attack once again by lunatic Goons in the form of [[The Troon Uprisings]], resulting in the end of Clown World War I and another massive purge of Bimmers from SA related Discords, and while this resulted in a short term drop in membership, entirely from people who never talked, it ultimately led to a massive boom in recruitment as the brand gained a new following.
