=== Formation of COMMUNISM ===
<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. Around this time, the leadership of COMMUNISM comprised of Spaceballs as GM, Malade who was dating Spaceballs at the time as co-GM, and Icarus as Spaceballs right hand man. Other memorable members included TJfrost, Donbrasher, Trance, and Prophetomega. (Many of these names and more from that time can be seen in the screenshot below.)

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.

=== 1st COMMUNISM & First Golden Age ===
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.

=== 2nd COMMUNISM ===
In December of 2008, Spaceballs had come back to play and reformed COMMUNISM, with the intention of reclaiming the glory days (By glory days, we mean the days when we were shitty and everyone hated us). The new COMMUNISM was filled less with old players who loved to piss people off, but with sad try hards. Among these were Prudedruid, a moral relativist, Reckface, a pseudo white trash domestic violence repeat offender waiting to happen, Jessikuh, a girl who said she was a hot emo scene chick but in reality was just a sad fat lonely girl with more emotional problems than most psych ward patients (Protip: She totally e-dated and phone boned Spaceballs. True story, she will deny it but she totally did, we would love to tell you the whole story in Mumble, its hilarious!), Shaynuh, a girl who gets real fat then scary skinny. A few other no name people were also around at this time but they don't really matter in the long run of the narrative. The main thing to remember is that Jessikuh phone boned Spaceballs and her mom walked in on
