Good evening wonderful eIrish comrades,
This is an invitation for active and dedicated eIrishmen and women to join The Revolutionary Banist Party. We are currently at 2 members now, myself and LaganLad. We are looking for more people to join our team.
This new Party promises to make a huge impact on eIreland and the New World. It upholds a solid ideology and offers players something beyond just the military module. Although the Independent Labour Party is commendable and do excellent work, they hold a large majority of players and as any hegemonic entity need a respectable opposition - an opposition...further to the Left!
How can the RBP claim to be more radical than the ILP? For a few reasons: the ILP has long been institutionalized into eIrish politics, during the eIrish Cold War it was a long drawn battle between the ILP and the group of players collectively referred to as the "Kunts" (their self-given name after creating "The Cheeky Kunt Party"). The history of the Kunts goes back to 2010 and they evolved throughout those years into multiple different organizations and political parties. Upon the defeat of the Kunts the ones who took their mantle were known as Cr0mega which was a group of e-Croatian refugees who made home here and soon crept their way into a formidable political power over the native eIrish. In recent history Cr0mega has vanished, for reasons I am unsure because I was not active at the time, and since the ILP has returned to having a commanding lead in eIrish government when it comes to Congress elections. They occupy 17 seats in Congress with the second runner up, Irish Freedom Party, only 8.
The political party known as Rational And Sane People proclaim to be "far-left" however its leader Sweet Drinker has a well known reputation as a fervent pro-capitalist. Therefore we cannot claim the RASP as a radical opposition party. This place can only be claimed by the RBP and when you join us you join a solid team committed to revolutionizing the game itself.
We wish to have comradely competition between us and the ILP and I mean not to slander their name at all. In the game of e-politics it is only right for a dominant party to have opposition and instead of a far-right opposition like many have been in the past, there now exists a radical far-left opposition! Join us in The Revolutionary Banist Party and let's begin to make a new history of eIreland. Let's foster radical e-social change and work towards an Irish Socialist Republic. Thank you!
Below are some positions in the Party that still need to be filled.
🙂
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!
Sincerely,
Comrade Cat

remember when luke and me founded the left hand of ireland 🙂
memories..
That did play the role of a left opposition party pretty well for a while and it was great getting LH into congress each month. Hoping to reach that level with the RBP,
until cromega created the cromega party to kill mine after they promised to never make a plitical party 😛
was a clever move btw, but not respectfull for sure.
a: it's RASP not RSP.
b: how am i a fervent pro-capitalist? I've got more state funded social system under my belt than everyone else in this country combined.
c: their are no real leftwing parties in Ireland atm except yours. I've brought up the fact that almost nobody in Congress actually votes in accordance to the ideals of their parties. They told me party ideals are meaningless. It's ultra-conservative up in the Dail these days.
Will change it to RASP immediately.
It is common knowledge that you defend capitalism and capitalists can never truly share left-wing values. As for in-game economics, I am relatively ignorant, I do not know the fine workings. It seems like a mess. Communes and stuff don't seem to work in eRep, this is part of the argument of Banism that radical leftism needs to be redefined as a more social system than necessarily economic. This divorces e-socialism from RL socialism.
It is my hope that the RBP rises to position #5 and we are always looking for competent players to join our team. We want to be the most active, dedicated, and transformative party in eIreland. We want to make this game fun instead of dull and mechanical. We want to revive the social aspect and create pathways for bringing the community together. If eRep counts for anything it is the friendships that can be made while playing these games which is more valuable then all the gold, medals, and titles that Plato can throw at us.
when i started playing, new players could die of unemployment and starvation.
My 1st job was a deputy in the New citizens ministry, helping newborns survive.
I was promoted to our resource department and managed the largest state employment & training agency in our history.
Later I launched the Saltpeter program, the Dividend program, Goldfish program, and the largest egalitarian distribution in eIrish history.
In terms of administered socialist policy (as opposed to regurgitated socialist rhetoric) the only surviving player who even measures on the same scale as me is Nogin, an actual capitalist, ironically.
I'm quite simply the only name in socialist economics left in the country.
so the rockefeller institution do nothing socially for people. rockefeller although a fervent capitalist came from a very poor family. yet he gave millions to charity. i will revise that statement as of course what is lef wing values then and what is their worth for the destitute?
some points cromega was not refugees they were a group of players recruited by don croata at first by buying up old irish accounts later by good recruitment /multies and bought accounts. . although DC several times attempted Croatia he simply never had the support. he though dd most of his things here and was active long before Cromega. Actually they were known as the orcs a term me and Vik came up. Orcs because they were deemed to stupid to be trolls.
As to croatians the irish croatian diaspora(the correct term for it) was started by Viktor Kurgan a real life Croatian and others who lived through the attack on Vukovar etc and was actively involved in their resistance in rl . A person the likes of DC is a insult to.
eirelands connection to ecroatia was formed by irishbhoy during his time there. vk was just a troll who arrived here later.
irishbhoy was irish u liar
also as most orcs he was a useless thief, liar and c* who had the debating skills of a 5 yo. he had the gaming skills of a useless wannabe. you cannot mention them in the same breath. at one time ireland was overrun by people like him. in the words of krakken just because your land suddenly is inhabited by 100 monekys dont mean you haver to turn it into a zoo and charge an admission fee. you guys where on a gaming perspective total losers your success could only be contributed to a brief lull of idiocy that grasped the country during its forimng years. and you started eDie'ing on the day I was born. No Viktor Kurgan was a real champ ibhoy is a real chump.
did you seriously just do an "in the words of [yourself]" ?
didn't take you long in power to start speaking in the 3rd person.
listen mortal who dont sIt by the fire at night afraid of THE KRAKKEN listen!
im not a mortal.
im the reason you huddle around the fire at night.
u mentioned only political opposition though i think they did not lose the battle on the political fields only later when most of their support had waned the ILP was able to step up to be a clear number 1.
i also think u miss the point why do the opposition have to be left? its almost like your saying the only opposition can be a leftist party. whilst dont stone me for this i perceive most irish folks here to have conservative values.
A right-wing opposition could never speak for actual working class issues, and genuinely populist values. A right-wing opposition is always system sustaining or reactionary, they cannot be revolutionary or radical. Those who hold the Irish spirit will understand radical socialism, others will be slave to their naïve concept of historical identity.
naw its quite the opposite. in true capitalism if i buy a farm i have a farm in socialism when i buy a farm everyone have a farm. in capitalism you allow people property and the right to have dreams in socialism every individual right is sacrificed for the good of all workers. and when the entrepreneur disappear the state steps in and when the state steps in every worker must sacrifice more working hours and less pay and all luxuries so that the state can take the money his industry makes and improve the country around him.
That is a very basic assumption of what socialism is from a bourgeois perspective. If you follow democracy to its logical extent it inevitably leads towards socialism. Whatever perceived equality there is under capitalism is merely a bourgeois illusion, there is no equality under capitalism and the capitalist notion of equality (and capitalist logic) cannot understand genuine equality and equitability.
why not?you just make this "this is fact" statements without any facts t support it. your debating your opinion not actual facts. poor people also dream of owning property and assets nothing middle class about it. if you can give one example of a country where socialism in its purest form was applied and that lead to a better system for all i will take what you say serious.
There has never been socialism even close to its purest form, only states that have historical attempts at reaching socialism. If you understand Marxist historical theory you understand that these are stages of social development, not something that you can just "implement" from top-bottom.
Voted
Voted, for good capitalist/socialist arguments.
So I am new here and consider myself to be a revolutionary socialist...I am potentially interested, but I have to confess I do not know what "Banism" is.
