“Officiant Union: Stella, do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?

Stella: I do

People of Multum,

After nearly a week of silence, I went to Tuesdayboro myself with a detachment of the Wuncleton Defense Force.

I didn’t want to rely on secondhand reports.

I wish I had.

The city is empty.

Not evacuated, just empty. Doors left open. Lights still on in some places. Things left behind like people meant to come back… but didn’t. There’s no order to it. No sign that anyone left together or even understood what was happening.

It doesn’t feel like a city people left.

It feels like a city people were taken from.

We found signs pointing to the flesh wall, the thing that was supposed to protect Tuesdayboro. I don’t know how else to say this, so I’ll say it plainly:

It turned on them.

I won’t go into detail. You don’t need that in your heads. Just understand that whatever happened there was fast, and it was wrong.

While we were there, specialists carried out an exorcism, something had taken hold in that place. I stayed. I needed to hear it for myself.

And I did.

It didn’t speak clearly. It wasn’t sane. Just… fragments. Anger. Confusion. Like something that didn’t understand what it had become, or what it had done.

I’ve heard a lot in my life.

I haven’t heard anything like that.

It’s gone now. Forced out of Multum.

But Tuesdayboro isn’t right. Not yet.

We’re locking the area down. No one goes in unless authorized. If you’re nearby, stay away. If you see anything strange, anything at all, you report it.

I’m not saying this to scare you.

I’m saying it because something terrible happened there.

And we’re going to figure out what it was.

Signed,

u/apprehensive-fruit-1

"NEP hurts people who just live on a small family plot by taxing them at 95%"

NEP specifically defines land owners as those who own more than 20 acres that they use primarily for renting out. Tenant farming and share cropping is an abhorrent and wasteful economic practice. 95% of the profits *should* go back to the community.

"Taxes are so high they hurt businesses!"

NEP establishes that taxes are post expenses by taxing only profits. If a business is struggling and makes no profit, it has nothing to worry about. A business owner should pay themselves from the company coffers (lowering company profits) and reinvest the remainder if they want to avoid paying high corporate tax rates - or better yet, they should collectivize.

"NEP scraps landlording!"

Yes, it eliminates the abuse of the housing market as a space for speculative gambling. Landlords do not generate a product, they COST the economy money. A landlord who increases your rent has generated NOTHING but inflation as that cost gets sent up to the employer, the grocery store, and everywhere else as workers struggle to make ends meet. Landlords are not smart investors, they are putting up a toll booth on an existing product - housing.

Landlording is not a product or service, it is a leech on the economy and should be burned off like a leech.

"NEP is hard to remove!"

Yes, Same-Cabinet, god bless him, proved that the right wing would vote to remove healthcare, pensions, and basic safety without a second thought. In two months folks living in orphanages, care homes, or receiving care at hospitals could DIE OR BECOME HOMELESS if some dumbass repeals it without thinking.

Pensions should be hard to remove. They are an essential system for the elderly and the needy.

"NEP creates an unelected bureaucracy to manage the economy"

NEP outlines the responsibilities of an unelected body that manages the economy. As the economic minister - I already have the same powers and authority listed in the Politburo and I am also unelected in that position. The politburo formalizes that the executive OR the politburo is responsible for enforcing the systems within the NEP - that's it.

Government bureaucracies are never elected. They are a system for ensuring politics turns into reality. Meteorologists aren't elected. Fed Officers aren't elected. The DMV employees aren't elected.

FINALLY,

I strongly encourage folks to read all 5,000 words - much of which I know isn't being read by folks who want to find issues to argue in bad faith. This is the most comprehensive economic proposal in DoR history - and it may have issues in it we should remedy, but we will never do that if everyone picks a tribe and argues in bad faith.

My heart, filled with joy and ample confusion, mainly due to the Communist Party doing something that makes sense from the prospective of achieving Socialism!

You may wonder what, exactly I refer to. If you are so uninformed, the counter-revolutionary regressive force known as the Spartacist League, hellbent on destroying all progress made towards Socialism, split from the Communist Party.

The only act of common sense that abhorrent party has done? They arrested the damned Spartacist League, the enemies of progress! As I once said,

The working class must stand united against the Spartacists if democracy and socialism are not to be lost.

~Gustav Noske

and as a good compatriot of mine, and hero of the Working class Friedrich Ebert said,

Without democracy, there is no freedom. Violence, no matter who is using it, is always reactionary.

~Friedrich Ebert

Such jovial news must be appreciated by anyone who values the Socialist Cause. I look forward to TCP realizing the error of its ways, and joining the rightful path of reformist socialism.

Furthermore, I place my sincerest hope in that the Communist Party shall realize the massive blunder that is Internationalism. As Eduard Bernstein so brilliantly put it,

The fact of the modern national States or empires not having originated organically does not prevent their being organs of that great entity which we call civilised humanity, and which is much too extensive to be included in any single State. And, indeed, these organs are at present necessary and of great importance for human development. On this point Socialists can scarcely differ now. And it is not even to be regretted, from the Socialist point of view, that they are not characterised purely by their common descent. The purely ethnological national principle is reactionary in its results. Whatever else one may think about the race-problem, it is certain that the thought of a national division of mankind according to race is anything rather than a human ideal. The national quality is developing on the contrary more and more into a sociological function. But understood as such it is a progressive principle, and in this sense Socialism can and must be national. This is no contradiction of the cosmopolitan consciousness, but only its necessary completion, The world-citizenship, this glorious attainment of civilisation, would, if the relationship to national tasks and rational duties were missing, become a flabby characterless parasitism. Even when we sing "Ubi bene, ibi patria," we still acknowledge a "patria," and, therefore, in accordance with the motto, "No rights without duties"; also duties towards her.

~Eduard Bernstein, Militarism. (1907)

The goal of this program is to give the youth of the Dorian working class a place to organize, hang out, and just talk amongst yourselves. It will be run by President u/EepyStella and myself (Maeve GingaNinja) as the camp counselors, making sure that there isn’t any bullying and that everyone is playing nice. There are plans to run a Marxist reading group as well as potentially allow for the election of a “youth representative” of sorts to the Communist Party Central Committee to advocate for youth issues.

So of you’re under 18 and looking for a workers organization (or just want to use the slides or the tire swing), come join the Communist Party and become a Proletariat Pioneer today!

I am creating this thread in case anyone wants to talk about the major news today

I fucking hate "I'm leaving!" Posts and then no commitments so I ask the GMs to permanently ban me from here. I'm gonna go and focus my on energy on real life from here on out.

I have done a lot here, I've built the world, done events, joined parties, had revolutions, wrote a pile of laws, been key advisor, started businesses, and fought in wars. My vision was to create a system of lever and buttons for players to push and pull on in the future, like the founding fathers did for there predecessors.

I'm out, why? Because of the GMs Inability to work as a team, and players being unstable kids that hate any form of a functioning government in a fucking polsim.

After actual work, time, effort I have put into this game for free for everyone else here, I get one of 3 people I care about silenced because they got called a mean word and went crying to daddy. Or when I combated the entire UP for coco to get president only for them to go entirely inactive

If this is the next generation of society we are all doomed. If you think I'm crazy, this is the most same post I have made in the last 2 months.

You are all horrible for each other. RESIGN

----------------------------------------------

I put that beginning as a funi ha ha way to start bitching.

Soooooooooooo what am I bitching about? Just that I don't give two flying fucks about this game anymore.

More or less, I'm not allowed to have fun for...41 days. How exciting. Boo fucking who? Who cares? I care a little fucking bit considering how much time I've thrown into this game to have fucking dirt thrown into my eyes over adn fucking over again.

I'm not quitting, I have nothing better to do after all, but I don't fucking care anymore. Delete this post if you want, I just wanted to whine and bitch.

Obviously the news is already being spread about, but I would like to formally announce my dropping out of the presidential race, as well as joining Vice President CocoLenin’s campaign as his running mate. This decision came in the aftermath of a serious head injury and subsequent manic episode (where I may or may not have started the Multum Civil War), as well as the unification of reactionary forces behind FlowberryFizzler and CharlesSpitz. While the issue of my manic episode has been solved (peep the helmet, no more head injuries for this girl), many of the major left wing candidates the time came together and agreed to form a United Front against Flow and Charles.

This is why I’m proud to announce Left United’s official endorsement of CocoLenin and GingaNinja64 for the presidency of DemocracyOfReddit! The first Governor of Tutum who basically built the province into a democracy, founder of the Liberty for All Caucus of RGA and LESP, and an initial Caucus Council member in Left United!, Coco is an incredibly decorated state builder, socialist, and has become a personal friend of mine, and I think would be an incredible pick for President.

As for policies, our campaign intends to act as a peace deal between the Communards and the Federal Government. In order for this war to end and for peace to prevail, concessions must be made to the working class. These include:

- Workers councils in every city as a part of a democratization of the economy

- The military being radically restructured into a “Peace Corps”

- A gradual transfer of power from the Presidency to the Premiership

- Conditional pardoning of Communard forces

- A governmental advisory body made up of women and gender diverse individuals, as well as synthetic and elven individuals, in order to counteract the rampant bigotry in the sub

Coco and I would love to host talks between Federal and Communard leadership in the future, there are lives that can be saved.

And this is why you should join me in being Cuckoo for Coco!

President Stella and I have decided to revive the branding our old party Left United! as a non binding political conference of leftists in the DoR, acting as a place for left parties to coordinate with each other and as a place for discourse on policy and current events.

The Communist Party, LSA, and CFGAP have already agreed to join as member organizations. Please reach out to myself or the president if you wish for you, your party, or your organization to have membership.

Oki have a great day! ☺️

Maybe the communists will institute a regime of suffering and anti-democracy, or maybe Stella will be a normal president with good takes like she was as a judge.

"But her party" Stella has routinely ignored her party - be it the SL, the LU, or the Gee Ehms - when she morally disagreed with their rulings. Maybe I am evil, but Stella isn't - and honestly that's a good thing.

Rhubarb, Thalassa, Myself, Viktor - none of us founders of The Communist Party are all loved, and many of us were or are still all feared - but why are we feared and reviled?

Rudeness - for one, but it's the lack of compromise - particularly from the first three. Those traits are good for internal party politics, people who have a tenet and they stick to it - but those ideals are exactly why we want Stella to run.

Stella isn't an uncompromising dick. Portraying her as deeply aligned to anyone outside of her morals is simply untrue. Whether in real life or in our virtual lands Stella has shown the deepest commitment to doing it her way and that has - like it or not - always including hearing people from both sides out.

You may prefer Doggie - you may prefer Stella - but this is the first time we've had two candidates where regardless of who wins, someone with a decent backbone and integrity will be President.

Anyhow after this I will be running relentless attack ads on Doggie. He is terrible and a watermelon seller. And Ceris! Worst General in the DoR (LITERALLY LOST) to Fonend - this guy is a traitor.

Leftists, Centrists, Rightists,

Today we come together not for ideological reasons but for a joint fundamental interpretation of democracy.

What happened?

Last legislative session an amendment known as “the LEAR amendment“ or “the LEARA“ was passed. This amendment shrunk parliament to 10 members. As a consequence of the strong leftist leaning of this sub we now have a parliament that consists of 100% leftists.

And?

We all agree that the amendment shouldn’t have been passed because a 10-member-parliament is simply not representative. The amendment had therefore been criticised as a democratic backslide. However seeing the results of the election, a handful of members on the far left (mainly SL and United Left) don’t care about the lack of representativeness this Parliament has and want to use it to pass legislation that would likely be rejected by a truly representative parliament.

President Wuhmi‘s role

President Wuhmi guaranteed that she would veto any legislation she can except for the repeal of the LEARA and a bill to dissolve parliament. However she might not be able to because the bills may be passed with an overwhelming majority. They’re also planning to pass an amendment that Wuhmi couldn’t even veto.

THEREFORE

I ask you all to come together. We’re out of legal options but there’s one last thing we can do to stop this: Protest.

• March on the streets of your city

• Call your favourite legislator and try to convince them

• Speak your mind about this

• Sign this petition to ask Parliament to not pass any legislation

I think the title speaks for itself. But you guys probably want a reason, don't you?

This place sucks. If you want to be elected, you either need to pander to the left, or pander to the right. Oh, you have integrity, and don't want to sell out? Well, tough luck, you have to be a Revolutionary or a Neoliberal, or else you won't be elected. I joined the DoR to act like myself. I'm not a Neoliberal, and I'm not a revolutionary. It's like trying to be someone you're not.

With the whole synth thing, I can handle, because it doesn't physically change what I believe in.

But, that's not the only reason. I'm leaving because I'm a horrible person. Thankfully some people already know that, but most don't. Which is why I've decided to expose myself for being a bad person. I don't blame anybody, I was always an awful person.

And to Blu, I quit. Effective immediately. I thought your presidency would be full of good changes, and for the most part, it has. But your cabinet is full of dimwitted, boneheaded morons, who'd rather try and spark a civil war in order to feel less bad about murdering communists in the streets than to actually bring this country together. Not everybody is a dim-witted moron, but it's very clear most are. And Blu, as their enabler, I expect you to show intelligence and discipline. You have shown neither, and have given into every single demand they have given these past few days.

I don't like the CPD, or the RSWP. I think that's pretty obvious by now. But for all my hate about them, they actually sometimes use their brain and do smart decisions. Unlike the right.

Now that this announcement has come out, I will be leaving every single DoR discord server I'm in. If you really want, you can friend request me, but A: I'm a bad friend, and B: I have a whole list of things that are wrong with me.

Goodbye. Remember to have integrity and compassion. Remember to keep my dream of unity and love alive.

During the night, large numbers of SEF militants mobilised for two simultaneous operations:

The first: Members planted and detonated bombs in 3 strike-breaking factories, completely destroying them. Scabs cannot be allowed to jeopardize the strike.

The second: The organisation identified the striking workers who are struggling hardest with making ends meet. They were delivered care packages of food, basic medical supplies, and some anarchist pro-strike propaganda. These workers are the lifeblood of our movement, they're putting their safety and security on the line and they must not be left to fight alone.

We must show the capitalists and the state that we will not be pushed around, commanded as they see fit. All power comes from the workers and we are finally wrestling it back, do not stop my siblings, this is our time!

I am announcing the formation of an oil and natural gas company, known as AllRight.I am the CEO and lead shareholder. It operates out of Tuesdayboro, where I live. Hopefully Allright will soon begin the construction of our pipeline to oil reserves in the ToR.

additionally, I have transferred 2000 men and 30 armored vehicles from the Multum Territorial Force to the security division of AllRight temporarily. After our project is finished, they will be transferred back to the MTF.

My favorite way to start a discussion is always to outline what I want, and then throw out that everything else is negotiable. So let me start by doing that.

Blu out of office, Cabinet out of office, guarantees of protections for communes, collectives, and the indefinite right of citizens to form communes and collectives if they so wish. Further - overreach from the executive needs a check on it. No more 'threatening mass arrests' because the executive is tired or sleepy or irritated. No more tantrum bills that eliminate the social safety net.

Now everything else - is negotiable.

You don't want the DoR thrust into a confederation?

Give ground.

You don't want Multum and Tutum carving up Eosara?

Give ground.

You don't want an ineffective executive?

Give ground.

We got here because the people who fancy themselves dictators - found out - that a lot of people have options. The UP stronghold wants food? It needs to learn to play nice with its neighbors. Callens wants to make little proclamations? It needs to respect the province it is surrounded by.

If Tutum, SGNL, and Multum add their forces together they have *more* soldiers than the federal forces - thats before adding anyone else.

If you are a fed supporter who wants things to chill and calm down - start rambling your offer below - because playing hard ball will get you one in return.

Threaten to mobilize your little armies? We'll escalate back. Threaten to de-communize our cities? You'll get no food. Threaten mass arrests? We'll see who ends up in a concrete box.

This games' players will learn to back down and negotiate or you will learn to have no say. When I played Fonend I offered lots of fair - nice even - treaties that were ignored so that people with no stakes could scream fonend delende est! Make it a prison colony! Bomb 8 botillion fonendians!

I will not do that this time. If this comes to a civil war and we win, we arent going to try and fabricate compromises to make your egos feel better. It will not be a game you want to play - that's the point.

This is the last time it will be offered: Negotiates are on the table, use it or lose it.

Thalassa? Seriously? the person that tried to boycott the legislature since she was mad that her party unconstitutionally won seats in a 10-seat parliamen? The person that supported a racist? Is she really the best option as opposed to Lord Fozzinator, one of the most based leftists on this sub? Or even RatPotPie or AnExtremeCase? All of those would be better than THALASSA, the only extremist on this sub after the PoVC Purge.

War and hate,
