My Testament
Azazel Romanov
I suppose I have to do everything for you people.
This article will serve as a full explanation of my desires and how I seek to achieve them. I admit, I was quite verbose in my last passage, but I want this prose to serve you better. First, I'd like to clear the air that my movement is not the opening of a Presidential campaign. I have no desire to hold onto rungs of power unless they serve the purpose of removing the Constitution. Being President holds no sway over that idea. I have no desire to leave my party or infiltrate any others, I only desire to create a congressional majority that can overturn the Constitution entirely. If I might add this note, I have never seen SFP or the BSP propose such an endeavor, and I am truly confused as to why that is the case.
I also know that many doubt my sincerity and assume this some sort of ruse. That I desire something in return for myself. I can assure you it is not. And I can assure you my only desire is to see a true anarchy take hold. I intend to pursue a course that would remove all meta-institutions and strip away all supposed mechanisms of power from those who follow those institutions' tenets. I desire what many of you desire, true freedom. But my course not only follows that intent, it removes all "legitimacy" the forum has. And that is the key point, it removes that legitimacy from those who follow its rules.
I have seen the Black Sheep Secession article.
While I commend the spirit of such a document, I do not believe in its effectiveness. It establishes intent, appeals to hope, and closes with a desire for peace. But once the BSP steps outside of the boundaries determined by the meta-congress, your peace will dissolve and your wars will start. I offer a solution that destroys those boundaries so that you will be truly free and uncontested in your desires.
You cannot simply run from them or disavow them. You must dismantle the institutions you hate. You must not only disavow them, but rip them from those who see fit to use them for their own gain. I will repeat my cause: to assemble an inter-party majority capable of voting to repeal the forum Constitution. No more, no less. It is your choice, obviously, if you do not wish to remove your adversary's mechanisms of power. I only hope you would indulge me to choose another.

Other than to watch the world burn in anarchist flame, why should we endeavor to remove the constitution? Tweaking or rewriting it sounds like a less chaotic choice.
Because I don't see the point in placing artificial limits if they can easily be overturned in-game. 2 out of 5 parties show no desire to participate in such a system, and the others will begin to change in time as well, as I am already seeing take place.
I will note a couple months ago, FS made an amended constitution to go up for debate. It didn't pan out.
You'd think the party that rails against "elitist meta" would have less legal stuff. The current SFP constitution is 4500 words... 2x bigger than the eUS constitution....
And it's for a single party. Why is that necessary? Asking as an outsider looking in. Is it a legacy thing?
Hmm, I'm too new to ask that question. You'd have to ask Jimmy.
My opinion is that for the most part, the SFP forums are pretty gross to use, and I'm pushing for a shift onto Discord. I think the SFP Constitution could use some parsing, but it has also proven useful to curb power.
TBH That's the big difference. The eUS forums give a lot of executive power to certain people, such as the SoH. The SFP forums for the most part decentralizes power in the RC, or in the hands of our members.
Decent article. Unfortunate establishment source. Demonstrates again why you've been successful where others have drowned in their own caucophony.
However it plays out, thanks for being instrumental.

As I said in the other article, parties like SFP or BSP only will be running way if they don't replace their former meta-game participation with in-game participation. As far as they does that, they doesn't reasons to be worried about.
I'm in. Call me, maybe.
