Join the new world

Live Sharp Look Smart

Ah-ha. Just kidding. The SFP didn't save e-humanity.... yet.


But why not be a really big boss and...



Visit the rollicking rave known as the Socialist Freedom Party Free Forum, held in an on-going fashion at the SFP's not-so-secret lair deep inside Bear Mountain. Dance 'til you drop, share deep thoughts with the most outstanding revolutionaries of all time, browse thru the r-r-r-r-revolutionary art gallery, or just have cookie. All are welcome.




Fight for Freedom all over the e-World with the legendary SFP Bear Cavalry. URSA FI!





Join the Socialist Freedom Party. The SFP is a non-denominational revolutionary front. Both new players and veterans are welcome.











Check out the writings of our great and glorious leaders!

Our current President, TyrannosaurusCaptinrex, is a relatively new player who has helped to rejuvenate this venerable 6th party, including such things as the Rainy Day Tank and Food Reserves. You can follow TyroCap's insightful notes on world affairs and see his plans for the SFP in This Is My Country.

And hold onto your seats because the epic hippie-king, world-beatnik, god-emperor of weed, former SFP Prez and BC commander during the Time of the Great Rebellion and all-round great radio host himself Jude Conners is presently working on taking the SFP's rejuvenation campaign to even greater heights. See Brah Jude's plans on revolutionizing the revolutionaries in his "BOUND FOR GLORY" series in Freedom Writer.


With new and reborn leaders like TyroCap and Jude Conners vying for the SFP's PP position, we safely say that the SFP is now available ON A BULKIE ROLL!


YUM!! Free socialist bread!!

Wait. What?....


Ermmmm.. Anyway.



We can honestly say that the SFP is glorious not only because of its time-honored freedom-socialist traditions, its illustrious line of leaders, its openness to new players and its venerable old farts who still haunt its hallowed halls, but also because it is happy to support worthwhile causes of all kinds, whatever the brand, like for example the WIRED Writers Guild sponsored by our friends and playmates over in We The People and supporting the latest/greatest incarnation of the eRepublikan Comintern and its Operation Bread. (MMMM... more of that tasty stuff!)









But that is all just exciting news and some handy tips on how you can hop on to the revolutionary train for glory.





What I really wanted to do in this edition of Players Quarterly was to share with you, my dear readers, some of the scintillating notes, tokens, tones and what-have-yous that I have unearthed about this remarkable party while scrounging around through the SFP archive looking for my old bong interesting archival materials.


"The Socialist Freedom Party are one of the unique people-islands to found in eRepublik, completely different in every sense from the parties around them, and their attitude, surrounded by normatives, forms an island somehow comparable to those peaks which still surface above the water in a flood zone."
-- Lewey-Dewey D'Huey, "On the Origins of the Socialist Freedom Movement", from a study made at the request of the Moscow Geo-psychological Congress of Days 899-903

"Those SFP dudes are swell people," Bill said.
-- Purportedly the last words spoken by Bill Galaxia before he returned to space.






"Nomansland, the territory of the Freedom-Socialists and the e-Global Anarcho-Socialist Movement, is in a region called Cornucopia, where the vines are tied up with tasty sausages. And in those parts there is a mountain made entirely of grated Parmesan cheese on whose slopes there are players who spend their whole e-lives making macaroni and ravioli, which they cook in chicken broth and then cast it to the four winds, and the faster you can pick it up, the more you get of it."
-- Joe Blow, The Ten Days That Shook e-Republik, published in private on day 923

"The USA's Socialist Freedom Party share with the People's Communist Party of the eUK the privilege of indulging in unrivaled extravagance on the subject of themselves." -- supposedly a remark made by Gnilraps, quoting Brian Boru, overheard by one of our spies during a secret conclave on how to most effectively infiltrate the Dioist movement







"There lived many brave players before Osmany Ramon, but all were overwhelmed in unending night, unmourned and unknown, because they lacked a poet who could provide a sense of e-immortality for the rest of us." -- From "A Horse, of Course", an unpublished one-act play by Frederic Engels.

"Many say that the first to take on this harrowing adventure must have been fanatic-eccentrics and dare-devils. It would not have begun, they say, as it seems to be in the e-history-books with a reasonable bunch of Finns and Russians, but only with the anarcho-communist circus bus that is the Socialist Freedom Party, those giddy adventurers." -- From "On Whales and other e-Mysteries", by Anonymous, published sometime around Day 1000






"Those who know the SFP know that their brand of socialism is completely spiritual." -- attributed to Emerick, but actual provenance unknown. This was carefully carved into a stone facing near one of the secret entrances to the SFP Bear Mountain lair, supposedly during some kind of ritual conducted by Phoenix Quinn and Johnobrow Dadds.


"The Socialist Freedom Party are a philosophically grounded, deep drinking, non-swearing group who live on a virtual mountain somewhere in the Dakotas, but are also thought to maintain a vast undersea library off of e-Australia's Great Barrier Reef. They are profoundly nautical in all senses; they swing and sing and row and fish in all the e-oceans without ever feeling e-sea-sick. Among all the parties in e-Republik, they are the only ones known to have an affinity for zeppelins. They also seem to have some kind of esoteric/oceanic association with the New Orleans style of jazz." -- from "The Illustrated Guide for the Traveler to the e-United States", Day 1909

"I am tempted to say about e-philosophers what Chutley once said about the Socialist Freedom Party: they are said to understand one another, but I don't believe it at all." -- attributed to Flufferton, during his one brief return to eRepublik










And finally, from a handwritten scrap of paper I found under an abandoned mug of fermented something-or-another, there is the following. I think the handwriting is that of Sub-Comandante David, who was one of the founders of the Bear Cavalry and -- of all the strange things to be in eRepublik -- a dedicated pacifist. I cannot be sure he left it here, but I think it captures nicely the quixotic spirit that has always animated this party:

"I am affiliated with the Socialist Freedom Party, as it was re-founded by Osmany Ramon. The SFP has a secret motto that is known only to those on the Revolutionary Committee: '
Pugna iuris ad convivium.', which can be translated roughly as 'Fight for the right to party.' In naming 'fight' -- pugnaciousness -- in the first word, we understand that the party wishes to be free, to be independent, and in the phraseology of 'left' and 'right', which is ultimately completely absurd, we have a well-defined position: We are unabashedly for conflict, a virile, upright, human sense of the dialectic, not a bigoted or romanticized sentimentality. In the phrasings of 'left and right', if one is on the right, you are opposed to the legitimate progress of democracy, since it opposes absolutist thinking and absolute power. If that is what being on the right means, then we are leftists. If being on the right means defending any kind of regime, as long as it waves a national flag, and against an absolute recognition of the dignity of individual players, then we are leftists. And, if by being rightist, it is understood that in social matters one opposes progress for the vast majority of players and supports only progress for one percent of the most elite and connected whales, if that is what is meant by being on the right, then again we are leftists. But, on the other hand, if to be a leftist means we are going be against family, or against the dignity of the individual, then in this phraseology -- which, again, I must say, is entirely ridiculous and absurd -- we are right-wingers. We are socialists who entirely embrace freedom. This is the old dream of a communist horizon, arrived at through human means. Let the games begin."








Thanks for reading. I hope you will check out the SFP and the Bear Cavalry. But even if you don't, here's a little gris-gris for you -- a version of "The Saints" for your listening pleasure. Use it only for good. And if you get $50 from someone for playing it, then be sure to pay it forward and pass a good time by spreading around some of that good free socialist bread, right? K, later cher,

xxxooxoxxoxox,
