I think everyone here spent lots of time grappling with philosophy to find his own political viewpoint. You probably also had burning desire to put your ideas to the test even if only on a small scale. But since you're on 4chan I guess that your life is too valuable to you to waste it only to find out whether you were wrong. The obvious solution: You need to simulate it. But are there any suitable MMORPGs for this? Important things I can think of:
- no npcs
- no mods
(lets generalise it to: - nothing that limits directions  in which players' society could develop)
- resoure gathering, refinement, production of goods, machines and factories (economy is the most important part after all)
- weapons
- proper communication (haha global chat)

In the 21st century it should be possible to experience how much communism fails and having fun at the same time.
Did anyone try this yet and which game would you recommend?

No npcs, no mods? Sure.

You can't have npcs that buy or sell stuff to you because that would be price fixing. They can't have any function at all because it would interfere with the way the society develops. Well, you can make them to tell some stupid stories, that's all.
And what do you need mods for if the players can do and say anything they like?
It's supposed te be simulation in the first place.
