International fight for socialism : interview of Jude Connors.
Louis Aragon
Hello, i'm Louis Aragon, a french redactor of this newspaper socialist/communist and libertarian.
I just want to publish this article because i would like to create international communications with french and english communist party, so i've interviewed Jude Connors, actual president of Socialist Freedom Party on his party, his ideas if he is elected and his thinking.
This article is available in VF (French) : http://www.erepublik.com/fr/article/la-lutte-internationale-reprend-interview-d-un-homme-politique-am-ricain--2528983/1/20
-The first question is the following : What ideologies your party has adopted in the socialism ?
-The Socialist Freedom Party is a party of individuality, freedom, and revolutionary thinking. We hold strong our believe in individual freedom while standing in solitary for our fight for the rights and inclusion of all citizens. We state this publicly in the Updated Ten Points of Solidarity, attached to our party Constitution.
-Ok, next : What law or reforms do you suggest if you has been elected as a country president ?
-IF elected eUSA CP, I would want to look into the money spent for the USAF - the government MU, and ascertain if that money is needed or a waste of spending. i would try to get it cut with the money going into more citizen assistance programs or retool the USAF into a better tool of teaching new players and retaining old players.
-Ok, the last question is : What do you think about the communist eRepublik of Cuba ?
-To be honest, I don't know much of eCuba. I haven't read anything form their media and only concern myself with them when it is time to start some RWs for them.
Thanks for reading and apologize me for any inconveniance or error while writing.
Proletarians of all countries, unite !

L'ennui est contre-révolutionnaire!
Thank you for the interview, Comrade 🙂
"...standing [in] solitary for our fight for the rights and inclusion of all citizens"
I'm all for individual freedom, but even I - a solitary person if ever you had one - would like to harness the powers of solidarity when we have to fight for our rights
Voted, subscribed & endorsed for solidarity! o/
Nice interview

Milton Friedman once said, "Nobody spends somebody else’s money as carefully as he spends his own.
Nobody uses somebody else’s resources as carefully as he uses his own."
What a cynical world view.
Yes, some people are like that, a lot probably, but there are others who will act more responsible when other people's money/resources are concerned.
People who advocate for socialism are always generous with others money. If you look through the history of the world you quickly notice that the countries who have tried socialism have all been brutal dictatorships responsible for the deaths of millions of their own people. The Soviet Union alone slaughtered tens of millions in the name of socialism. Socialist countries must by nature be dictatorships in order to take by force from those who have earned and redistribute to those who have not earned. It goes against human nature to be deprived of the fruits of one's own labor and can easily be considered a crime against humanity. There is absolutely nothing stopping wannabe socialists from donating every penny they have to the lazy dregs of society who earn nothing yet expect everything. These wannabe socialists don't do that though, they only seek to take and redistribute from those they believe have too much. Sorry, I believe in the creator given right of freedom. And that includes the freedom to choose what iI do with my own money. I of my own free will donate thousands per year to several veterans charities because those people do deserve and have earned help. But I will take every dollar I have, pile it up and light it on fire before I would give one penny more than the government already steals from me to lazy ghetto rats that make babies as fast as their bodies allow in order to increase the amount of "ma gubermunt check". And it will never be acceptable to continue paying for the services used by people whose only talent is they managed to swim across a river in Texas or climb over a fence iin California. No thank you, I will keep freedom, democracy, and capitalism.
Erep Politics /= RL Politics.
True, but socialism is such a horrible thing that it must be spoken against anytime it rears it's head. If people came on here and started praising the Ku Klux Klan you can bet someone would be offended and speak up. Socialism is just as offensive as the Klan.
Well, technically the ideas and theories of socialism and even communism are not so harmful and have merit; however, each time they are practiced they are taken advantage of by people in such a position. A theory or idea should not be defined by those who execute something completely different or poorly under the guise of following it. Also, as far as I am aware, the atrocities of the KKK lie in its core ideals and practices, which is not true of socialism, its faults come from those who abuse it. Let me say that is RL, I realize the limits and impracticalities of either system (socialism and communism) and am not a supporter of either, but I can recognize that the core ideology and the actual implementation are separate entities.
I spent some time in eCuba. Its full of Greeks, Serbs, Spanish and Argentinians vying for power down there. No one is actually Cuban or Communist.
Yes, when i wrote this article, cuba was communist but now it isn't :'(
