My dear eIrish comrades,
One could say once the bourgeois Kunts were dethroned and we shook off the foreign eCroatian dictatorship that eIreland underwent a Revolution. The time since then has been a continuation of that Revolution - the longstanding goal of the ILP. Unfortunately they were not adequately prepared nor willing to dedicate the activity towards directing the Revolution. The Revolution was long overdue and because of this the ones who eIreland thought would lead the path towards liberation and socialism have led us into occupation and stagnancy. Noting their deficiencies earlier in this paragraph I must also note that they failed because they hadn't an ideology to keep their leaders accountable nor to guide their direction. It is clear that the Revolution needs new leaders and a new Party.
In a recent article, "Restore Ireland" by Sluagh, he clearly sees himself as a powerful contender in the coming Country Presidential race. This is true, no doubt, he carries considerable influence and backing judging by the mere votes of the article. He has promised military leadership, abolition of the Constitution, suspension of the Dáil, and "emergency powers" given to the Executive (Country President). In light of recent months this sounds appealing - the CP has been weak, the Congress has been dull, the Constitution has lost its authority, and we remain still occupied. He has fairly critiqued the current administration, but does that automatically warrant his Dictatorship to be legitimate and fair to the eIrish people?
The reformist and conservative ILP and the defunct Dáil certainly need to be thrown out. This I will not argue. But what we must not let happen is the Revolution move towards the Right. Sluagh has included a light dose of socialism in his platform - the community lotto and promotion of media with (rewards?) given to quality writers, but his platform seems a bit center-left. He has laid out some practical policies however which the current administration clearly lacks. He has said he will install a Dictatorship and tear down Congress, but what will he offer the people upon taking control? Will disempowering the Dáil help the inactivity in our nation that Sluagh wants to revive? Will his dictatorship merely become a dictatorship of new oligarchs, a new clique of players administering a war-torn wasteland? Or, I plead you, will it be accompanied with promises of revitalized social life and activity?
There have been concerns of how he will be held accountable if given these emergency powers and how to keep the public engaged in politics. We would recommend offering referendums, conduct public opinion polls, and consistent detailed reports published weekly. There are certainly some elements of bourgeois right-wing politics evident in Sluagh's platform, but if it could be met by promises of further left-than-ILP policies Sluagh may be endorsable.
Until Sluagh can show, with integrity, that he means to heavily invest more of his platform towards improving the social condition of our nation than the Revolution is doomed to move towards the right-wing nationalism that the eCroatians tried to instill in our consciousness. The legacy of Brian Boru, the Labour Party, the ILP before its ascension to power, all depends on who takes power next. Will they be elected or will it be seized? Will the eIrish Revolution move forward from ILP mismanagement or move backward by reactionary dictatorship? As Banists we will continue to advocate for a radical Revolution in eIreland and demand only revolutionary leaders in our government. It is possible, then, that if we are met with reactionary dictatorship next month...than a Banist dictatorship will become the inevitable solution to the liberation of eIreland.
We serve neither King nor Kaiser, but Ireland

Sluagh is not a dictator, nor our party. But this is a case of emergency, and we do have to face this situation with strength. Furthermore, ILP's domination must be overwhelmed, as Ireland needs a true renewal, not a stagnation : we must promote activity and build a social-democratic power.
You heard me well, one of the center and right wings fights is (as I see it), to ensure that the people of Ireland do not starve from foreign invasion, internationalism and fear of entrepreneurship. That is probably on the two latter values that our ideas differ from yours, by the way.
His article certainly suggested he would be a dictator or very like one. I am not sure how a dictator promotes activity and builds social-democratic power.
I am fine with a temporary dictatorship, but I believe there needs to be something offered to players - preferably ones who aren't in Congress. We need to shift power away from the inefficient Dail until it can be filled with active and dedicated players. if Sluagh was to support the idea of establishing the Dublin Commune...that would be so incredibly radical he would gain RBP endorsement and I am sure a lot more supporters.
The ILP is center, despite claiming to be far-left. We of the Revolutionary Banist Party are the far-left in eIreland, we are fully supportive of strong leadership, internationalism (negotiation and peace), and technically entrepreneurship is not discouraged by our Party.
I cannot emphasize enough that Banism was conceptualized under eSocialism. What eSocialism was and is now is slightly different than Banism, with Banism being a more radical form of eSocialism. I can explain this further only if you wish.
I'd love to.
There will be an article published next week - stay tuned. 🙂
When they told you "the revolution will not be televised" you didn't realize that was because the revolution was too boring to make the news 😁
It certainly was not as exciting as the fabled Great December Revolution of 2010 so I've heard.
I'm asking for two weeks to rebuild the nation. I understand the dislike of me ruling with such power but hey, that's what you get if you vote for me.
As for crosseye's questions about building activity and social-democracy. Activity will be built in supply programs, National Strikes, an active Ministry of Community. Democracy will be brought back through a Dáil able to vote on actual issues that have been put in place. I'm laying the foundations, the people can build the building.
If you are doing away with the foundational structures already, it would be perhaps the most opportune moment to radically change our social structure. What will be different if in 2 weeks we got the Dail back? It is still plagued with inactive and inadequate congress folk. If you firmly added the institution of the Dublin Commune into the political realm we could take back the power from the dull Dail and give it to the active players - give it to the active parties who want to build the nation up from the ruins.
We support those initiatives you have stated, but we just think there could be more. Liberating eIreland doesn't necessarily mean liberating our pixels on the map, it means shifting the balance of power into the hands of those who are competent and dedicated. Give the people more power and you will see your increases in activity, along with foreign desirability to migrate to eIreland.
all ePolitics leads to the same paths, outcomes and failures. its almost like politicians shoves their chess pieces all around the board with promises when they try to get elected and when their in charge small wheels turn on that board and all chess pieces is moved to the same place again.
attempting to keep epolitics alive will ultimately lead to your own epolitical demise.
Certainly interesting and possibly true. If we add the above to previous statements and articles of yours then It seems though that you are suggesting a situation like the World War II situation in Russia - the only thing of importance being the military to ensure that the state did not succumb to a stronger military force. Out the window went anything not related to that end. Is that what you are suggesting?
comparing rl to eIreland who have about 200 citizens and 1 or 2 decision taken per week do we really not politics. i know everyone tries to make an analogy with rl politics but rl politics is more of a learning school than our 1 or 2 unimportant decisions per week can ever be. so military leadership with some duties assigned to perhaps a shadow government. i would also bring out a junior shadow parliament,
There is no disease here,
No homelessness, no murder, no starvation.
There are also no private jets here,
no penthouse apartments, no fancy restaurants, no sports cares.
Most of the rights and disparities leftwingers fight about cannot even exist in this world. It has been that WW2 situation since the day Plato invented the NE.
All you politicians have just been busy losing the war for your nations since then.
The question I am trying to ask is roughly this - Is what you (for this example RTK and Sweet) are looking for a government set up to ensure the military is strong enough to take back the country from Lithuania and defend our borders in the future from any aggressor?
I am not a politician, nor a member of any political party in either the real life or this eworld.
not the government , look at mek(portugal) look at tiger squad(fyrom i think) and carebears who is 780 members(bulgaria) simply put a decent mu will be able to retake eireland. but it doesnt help to have a decent mu and then people after they have saved ireland poops on them the whole time. all citizens will unite as military members of 1 force all of them will get supplies all money will go to supplies(although there will be private suppliers) mpp,s and co's although there be may be a reserve fund probably created using oil factories. we will all be soldiers first and then people will be able to play politics in one or 2 departments not military not mofa. and there will be a junior government that will keep new players playing perhaps.
i want a government that will make it rewarding enough for our soldiers to fight for our national interests while growing stronger even if we're occupied by Serbia.
its unreasonable to expect victory all the time, especially being an uninfluential nation.
but it is reasonable for us to be a nation that is more hassle to occupy than its worth.
I see and understand what both of you are saying. It is relatively straightforward and pragmatic. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
your articles and political "rp" is really nice to read.
