'''COMMUNISM''' (Rebranded to '''COMMIE CREW''' in 2015 then to '''GAY''' in Rust) was one of the three groups that merged to become [[BMW]], and also the originator group for the WIDEVERSE. COMMUNISM serves as the anchor point for the beginning of the groups history, as its foundation is seen as the single most important factor in bringing all the people into the group and put into motion most of the traditions and events that form the current zeitgeist.

==Pre-COMMUNISM(2002-2007)==

[[Shelarahn]] began his career in Runescape, bouncing around clans as a teenager. During this time was when his ability to be total dicks was discovered, as together they shitted up multiple clans on Runescape, as well as running their own. Their first clan joined together was a shitty clan called Warriors Gate that was led by a very angry Arab man. The clan focused on PvP because Runescape was a dumb game with not much to do at the time. Several other people consisted of this "proto-group" including Dark fire500 nicknamed Ol' Greasy and a kid named Lance from New Hampshire.

August 2007, an Undead Warrior named Shelarahn joined COMMUNISM, attracted by the no rules environment, and ready to make a name for themselves on Gorgonnash. Shelarahn, Secondary, and a few others over the next few months slowly formed what would later be referred to as "The Group", which was in essence just a clique in COMMUNISM for them to feel like they had some power.

A few months later, COMMUNISM had branched into 25 man raiding, thanks in no small part to a merge between COMMUNISM and Vengence Pending, another fledgling 10 man guild, that led to COMMUNISM briefly being named NOT A DEMOCRACY, going as far as killing Gruul and putting in attempts on Loot Reaver. Shelarahn had ascended to the role of officer in the guild, which led to frequent power plays with Spaceballs girlfriend, Malade. Eventually, the tension came to a head when Shelarahn refused Spaceballs order to disallow a dual boxer from raiding. Shelarahns raid group and a few others left COMMUNISM. They went on to form a guild named <Scholars and Gentlemen> that later failed miserably because Shelarahn also couldn't lead worth a shit. Shelarahn disbanded the guild and went back to one of the guilds he had been in prior to COMMUNISM, <[[Guns for Hire]]>. During the spring and summer of 2008, Shelarahn geared up and was recruited by <Damage Done>. After the dissolution of the main COMMUNISM raiding force, COMMUNISM went back to being just a jerk off guild while one by one the leadership quit.

In April 2012, Jessikuh got most of the old group back together on a new server and under a new guild name: <[[Friend Zone]]>. Shelarahn and Prude were hesitant at first considering Reckface (Who was GM of said guild) had a track record of being a shitty person. They overlooked it off however and spent the next 6 months building a top 100 US 25man raiding guild from a couple of fuck ups wiping all night on Hagara in Dragon Soul. Prude left half way through to go bone some chick in Texas, leaving Shelarahn as the sole cat wrangler. In Summer 2012, Shelarahn and a few other group members who had been met on Darkspear went back to Gorgnnash and got COMMUNISM back from Petrus, who was still serving as caretaker. The officers vision of Friend Zone in the beginning was to create a COMMUNISM like atmosphere but with actual dragon killing. Later on however, Reckface and Jessikuhs vision became more simple: They wanted to recreate their old guild from Darkspear, but with them in charge instead. These two visions clashed over the next year, leading to several falling outs over several issues. Friend Zone eventually absorbed a transfer guild from Gorgonnash, bringing with it the typical try hards that Friend Zone was created to not attract. Several of the new members from the absorbed guild remembered Shelarahn and COMMUNISM from Gorgonnash, and already had a hard on to be a dick to him. Shelarahn was eventually betrayed and thrown under the buss, having spent over a year of his life building a guild that he was now not only not welcome in, but openly hated in.  

BMW went into a hiatus in August 2015, whereafter the COMMIES went back to their old ways of casuals games. When the hiatus ended in late 2015, most the Commies returned, including the new ones, to restart BMW. In this new BMW, Taylor sought to set himself as the figurehead, with Kimsemus and Capitaler both gone. However, many Commies didn't see the benefit in this and begun drifting away from Rust. When the BMW Discord was established in March, only Prude joined with Taylor. This created a noticeable rift in COMMUNISM, which Pigeon took as an opportunity to seize on and shape COMMUNISM to his ideals, along with his girlfriend. The Messenger chat was reorganized to include many of their Seattle friends, and eventually Taylor and Prude were both forced out.
