Good evening wonderful eIrish comrades,
This article actually serves two purposes: the first, as you can tell by the title, deals with the Dublin Commune. This is a revolutionary project that is not exclusive to the RBP. All Party Presidents will be met with a formal invitation to join The Commune. Now to explain the idea.
The Commune is an alternative democratic counter-institution that is not answerable to the Country President or Dictator. The function of The Commune is to foster party cooperation and collaboration on projects that we want to see in eIreland. Why is it necessary to work outside the government? Because although state-sanctioned programs are great, and encouraged under Banist ideology, we need to take matters into our own hands if we want to guarantee social change. Creating The Commune will not only set up a place where parties can work together, but it also shifts the balance of power from the State to the Parties - which most members of eIrish society are a part of. It brings democracy closer into the hands of the people, it empowers parties to pursue national projects from the bottom-up instead of top-down (projects given to us by the State). It is a party-driven initiative and I will be messaging all Party Presidents with a formal request to join. Now this is where it gets really radical...if members in one particular political party want to join The Commune they may form their own representation, however, they won't have the seal of their Party behind them - which will not in any way affect their involvement or power within The Commune! It only means we can expect participation from them and the policy/decisions not carried out on a Party level.
Representatives are chosen or elected by their respective political parties and do not have to be part of their party's leadership.
This project follows the Banist principle of the maximization of democracy with this project being within the libertarian strand of Banism. It is our hope that your party will desire to exercise its right to direct the nation, even if it doesn't get the most congressmembers (or any at all) or win CP elections. The inner-workings of The Commune will be decided within its 1st and 3rd National Assemblies. The 1st NA will establish the The Commune as a recognized independent body counter to the State and will begin to formulate our intended purpose and goals. The 2nd NA will be a continuation of such, or wherever the members decide it should go. The 3rd NA will be when, hopefully, new members have joined and we can begin to write procedures and a code of ethics.
The second purpose is another invitation to all eIrishmen and women. I would like to formally invite active dedicated players to join The Revolutionary Banist Party and letting you know that there are positions which need to be filled. I will outline those positions below:
Vice President of the RBP: Will act as a co-Chairman of the Party. This means they will be given the authority to facilitate Party Meetings and take on personal responsibility in seeing through Party Projects.
Secretary General of the RBP: Will be the theoretician of the Party and engage all members, especially new members, in training them to understand and develop the philosophy & ideology of Banism. Materials and instruction will be given by the Party Chairmen/women.
Spokesperson of the RBP: Will act as the Public Relations and Propaganda Specialist.
Essentially all Party members will be included on one private message so we can communicate effectively with each other. All Party members, on the Leadership Committee or not, will hold the power in their voice. This is a Party which seeks the maximization of democracy within itself and eIreland. I implore you, once more members get involved, that this Party will not disappoint and will certainly make your time playing eRepublik very enjoyable and fun! P.S. I can create avatars and banners for members as well!

Banism is a new force in politics, one that will reshape the New World political arena. You can become a Banist too! Click on the link to join The Revolutionary Banist Party! Join the e-REVOLUTION!

do the Banists have a social structure policy?
your party page only has economic.
Banism is has strains of thought that is statist and non-statist. It argues utilizing both means as a force of maximizing democracy, promoting community, and engaging the populace.
So in that sense - we would fall under the "Libertarian-Anarchist" umbrella and I don't want to pigeon-hole ourselves into either one of those categories because we do believe in transforming the State/society by possessing State power but we also actively work to create counter-institutions to the State. We don't want the State to hold too much power, even in our hands, we want these counter-institutions to hold the State in check and balance.
if you believe the people should constitute institutions that can supersede government authority, i think is fair to call you Libertarians.
I kinda figured I would wait till we got more members until we declared a social orientation - the only requirement of Banist ideology is that it is far-left. 🙂
Fascinating. I'm watching with great interest from the eUSA, for what it's worth. All the best from your comrades over here o7
Interesting proposal. Best of luck to you and to the Irish e-proletariat!
Don't get the point of that sorry :/
Awesome work and best wishes for this project! From a comrade in eUSA

Free the nipple!

I dont say this is a bad idea but your point of impact is wrong:angle of entry
"It brings democracy closer into the hands of the people, it empowers parties to pursue national projects from the bottom-up instead of top-down (projects given to us by the State)"
people vote for a party of their liking and a representative list of their congress members in the congress elections they can stand for congress themselves. they do this based on a clear mandate or agenda of their parties. henceforth the congress elections is the true democratic tool for their aspirations and the agenda that they helped create to be put before government.
but creating more activity for normal citizens is not a bad idea under whatever guise.
RtK - "henceforth the congress elections is the true democratic tool for their aspirations and the agenda that they helped create to be put before government." Theory is great, but like RL, mostly fails in practice. All too often, the best we achieve is electing slightly-less-evil rascals while throwing out the 'badder' ones. Like RL, some times that is a good day's work:
you can now reply directly to comments not like the old days. but anyway problem is too many inactive players. i can show you workers logs of irish players some join your job site and work once and never work again. some parties has so little active players that they cannot block unwanted players from entering congress. or they can with dictatorship but not with real democracy. i just dont think anyone new can change people to be more active. used to be 2 clikers nowadays i think most 1 click and do their training and wait for their accounts to get strong enough to sell. i think cat should focus more to out of game recruitment.
