It's one that gives money to everyone, I think.

I assume it means a jar that pools tips to several people, just like real life.

If there are three dancers who receive in tips: 300, 500, and 1200, and a DJ who receives 400, then at the end of the night they would all receive equal shares: 600 lindens each.

depends.

pure communist tip ball: all tips are collected and then shared amongst all workers according to the needs.

real communist tip ball: all tips go to the ball owner who then decides which of workers need some of this money, if any.

It's a tip ball that when you pay it, spreads the money equally between everybody present (16 max due LSL limits). The money that can't be spread evenly (say, L$10 between 16 people) is spread at random.

Some time ago, somebody was trying the ball in Luskwood, but it didn't work correctly. I fixed it, and left it on the Luskwood platform for a while. Amazingly enough, somebody put L$16000 into it! I think I got at least L$2500 richer that day.

If you want it, I think I still have it in the inventory.

Oh, I thought it was one that takes money from the masses and gives it to a brutally opressive elite.

Thanks Dale, I forget now who asked for it.

Anybody want communist tip balls just ask.

Communism is fine as long as done by consenting adults in the privacy of their own bedrooms.
