Running for Congress

Day 4,777, 10:44 Published in United Kingdom United Kingdom by SichimDragos

I have decided to run for Congress and I am doing so on the behalf of The Unity Party, mainly because they wanted to help unrepresented political entities have an opportunity to win seats and also because there is a game mechanic that prohibits parties that are not in the top 5 to take part in the elections I always wanted to be part of the leadership of this great country and to fight for the needs of workers and Marxist sympathizers, this is why I am doing this, so I would be glad if some of you would vote for me.
Because I do not have much else to say I concluded that, aside from telling you that I am a candidate for Congress, I shall also write to you, something about my admiration for this country, even though I am not a British Citizen in real life. I want to do this, because, some of you, that might remember my whole eInternational project from a few weeks ago, might have concluded that I am do not have any love in my heart for national states, which is part true and part not, but, I will try to use this article to prove you my that I can also be a good nationalist.

5 Things I love about the real UK, from a foreigner's perspective and how we can implement them in eUK (we really can’t but this title sounded kind of cool in my mind).

The thing is, that in real life I am not a UK citizen, as I have told you before. My only real interaction with this country was during my Uni years, not too long ago. Back then I spent 3 years in the UK, so I would like to base some of the premises from this article on that experience. Please don't be discouraged from having to listen to a candidate, whose origins are not pure, it's not so bad, in marxism this is a good thing.


Top 5 in no particular order:

1. The Car Industry

While the actual car Industry of the UK is not a global hit, UK is not Germany, not even close, yet, the British Isles are home to some of the quirkiest, most interesting, most refined cars ever built and home to 7 of all 10 F1 teams in existence right now. This is truly insane, I remember being a little kid, watching that Top Gear episode, where they invited all British Car Manufacturers to come to a meeting in London, a meeting of epic proportions, where hundreds of sports cars, all born and raised on British soil, gather at the same spot. That was truly glorious: Tvrs, Meclarens, Catherhams, Jags, Lotuses, and all the good stuff.

2.The £3 Meal Deal

£3, that's a fortune, but, if you think hard about it, it's not so bad. The meal deal is something that I do not have in my home country, it is something so quintessentially British that I have to put on this list. I used to be so proud of myself because of the way I would maximize the value of my meal: I would always try to get to an almost £8 combined cost so then, the £3 meal deal would make all my items cost roughly 50% less. This deal is insane marketing, those stupid capitalists take our hard-earned wages and make us think we are in control but at least, we get the impression of winning. Anyway, I have to give the £3 meal deal a place at the top of all the great things in the UK, because the meal deal is something I will remember for the rest of my life. Right now I no longer live in the UK, I live in some third world country and I can only dream about getting a £3 equivalent meal deal, where, for £3 I would get coconut milk, a triple sandwich, and a treat of my own choice. I love coconut milk so much but it is simply too expensive for a working-class folk like myself, but that stupid meal deal, would make it, effectively 50% cheaper, so, with the meal deal, even I, a working-class man could afford it and that is great. Working-class people deserve coconut milk. So thumbs up for the meal deal, you make the British Isle shine.

3.Nerds and Quietness

I was kind of shocked to realize that, the UK, a country that can be considered to be overcrowded, with its huge population compared to the space it offers, can sometimes feel pretty much empty.
I am from Eastern Europe, and the streets are rarely quiet. For Eastern Europeans, the streets are the agoras of ancient times, every corner is steaming with folks chatting, playing football, eating chips, socializing, and doing whatever people do, (I barely know, I am an introvert). In the UK, not so much. After 6 pm most of the streets are almost empty, all the socializing happens in bars, but even after taking into account all the bars, restaurants, and all the other stupid place where you have to pay money in exchange for space for socializing the numbers do not add up right. This is why I came to the conclusion that millions of people not adding up are a brand new social class, something that could be considered by some a new race, I am talking about nerds. They are the people that keep the streets quiet in this country because they are all in their houses playing retro video games and reading manga.
Because of these nerds and their abstinence, I had such a great time during my long walks in my mid-sized town in the UK, being able to enjoy the silence and to meditate in peace about the cruelty of the capitalist system and the need for a socialist revolution. In this post-apocalyptic scenery, where billions in infrastructure would be there just for me, the lonely traveler I would always, stop for a moment and thank all the nerds, that play the shit out of their Xbox ones and their collector’s edition PlayStations, I would salute those who watch two Game of Thrones seasons in one day and never see the sun as if they are living at the arctic circle during winter, for they are the unsung heroes of our times. So, nerds, please do you ever leave those cribs of yours, because, in case you do, the UK would be overcrowded. This is why every time there is a Comic-Con crap, I advise everyone to stay put, watch some of Slavoj Zizek conferences and keep things clean.
So, yeah, nerds, great people, you saved the UK.

4. Passionate People.

I am not saying that the gals and gents from the UK are great at romance or something, no, I am talking about one's passions for something that is not by any means necessary for direct survival reasons. I have to come out and take the red pill now and tell you a hidden truth about it, it also because, the UK is, even though you might deny it, a first world country, where people, even working-class people, have enough wealth and free time, to start being passionate about other things aside from the things that, let's say, people from the less wealthy places of the world are passionate about, things such as try not to starve to death. The excess wealth means people start doing crazy things because they feel relatively safe, and they have things set up, life is good, and so on. You never see as many people having stupid passions for the most irrational things in my home country as you can see in the UK. There are people, very smart people, trying to build balloons and revolutionize air travel post, Hindenburg, while others collect vinyl, and so and so on, it's crazy how many people have something particular about their existence.
It is almost like 3 in 5 have something crazy to be passionate about, which is great from my point of view.


5. A Safe Space for Marxism

If there is one thing I like about the UK is that a lot of people are open toward socialism, not everyone, but more than you would expect. All academia is a big Marxist brainwashing machine, which is good, because Marxists while brainwashing you, they still give you some choices. While it is true that almost all rhetoric is leading left-wing by a huge margin during your uni experience, yet, you can be as conservative in your thinking as you want and no one would abuse you because of that, probably. I can only speak from my experience, but, in my opinion, while learning in the UK, I had a lot of freedom in my essay writing, and I could do almost anything I wanted as long as I had the sources to back it up. When I came to my eastern European homeland, an ex warsaw pact country, the university was extremely different, almost 95% of my teachers were against marxism, even against the most basic forms of socialism, I am talking about basic right that even the most conservative people from the UK can't deny (Most people, I am sure people are saying that slavery is good but I am talking about most people). Anyway, my point is, talking exclusively, about the free flow of ideas, that in the UK, marxism gets encouraged, while, in my ex-communist country, you get ridiculed if you try to even mention it. An this is a bad thing, marxism should be at least discussed. Not discussing something because you are afraid of being bullied is bad, so, yeah, UK is a great place for letting you embrace your inner revolutionary spirit.

That’s all for now. I think I gave you good reasons to be proud of this country. If you want eUK to be the same then you should probably vote for me, I mean, for the Unity Party!

Vote!
