PTO's, Impeachment, Unity: This Must Be eIreland
Colin Fox
May 16th, 2014 (Day 2,369)
Sir Colin Fox
Dear Comrades,
This was an eventful time not only for the ILP, but for an entire e-country. First of all I must thank the ATO effort for preventing the PTO of the ILP by the self-righteous and destructive barbarians whom call themselves "Clerics".
Secondly, I would like to thank all the loyal comrades in the ILP for voting me Party President. I will begin to open up talks with other parties and set a schedule for the month so that the ILP can be productive and thrive! With every member who joins the Independent Labour Party also joins the pursuit of a more democratic, fair, free, and ethical eIreland!
The President has gone rogue to avenge the robbery of eUK by ChewChewShoe and there has been speculation if this is a original player or perhaps even the return of sawc? For those who don't know, sawc was one of the biggest treasury robbing barons eIreland has ever been duped by. The President has also flooded Congress with bogus proposals and replied to criticism in an infant-like manner. Comrade Anarcho was quick to propose an immediate termination of office and thankfully that looks like it will pass in a few hours. My hope is that eIreland can carry on and perhaps maybe we should even carry on...
The picture may be misleading, I am not proposing a United eIreland in the sense of political borders, but in the sense of social unity. The labourers who work, train, and fight everyday do so not so that they may be the best (most of us refuse to use credit cards) but so that their country may be stronger from their labour! The last time eIreland has ever seen this kind of solidarity was The Great December Revolution of 2010 when eIreland was wiped and we freed our lands from eBritish rule! I won't compare this moment to that one, we didn't free our entire nation yesterday, but the flame of unity -which every true eIrishman holds- is inextinguishable. When ye feck with an eIrishman, ye feck wit the eIrish!
A social revolution is in sight, a rebirth of what it means to be an eIrishman, when we will stop the squandering and work together towards the Common Goal. Unity can be achieved through decentralized means, we can all work independently in our own groups, but let us not focus on scheming against your fellow countrymen and instead scheme against our enemy's countrymen! We may not be able to go on the offensive overtly with many nations, but we can help our allies by attacking them covertly. In short - let's become a badass country.
This day has given testament to the power of the people against the might of the rugged capitalist. It was his greed and power that drove him mad, led him foolishly to try and recover scraps from the orgs, and then with no sense of dignity left he trolled like a kindergartner. Labour united can never be divided!
“Ní bhrisfidh siad mé mar tá an fonn saoirse agus saoirse mhuintir na hEireann i mo chroí. Tiocfaidh lá éigin nuair a bheidh an fonn saoirse seo le taispeáint ag daoine go léir na hEireann ansin tchífidh muid eirí na gealaí.” - Bobby Sands
"If they aren't able to destroy the desire for freedom, they won't break you. They won't break me because the desire for freedom, and the freedom of the Irish people is in my heart. The day will dawn when all the people of Ireland will have the desire for freedom to show. It is then we'll see the rising of the moon." - Bobby Sands
Your's Truly,
Party Chairman Colin Fox
There is Power in a Union

I don't want to divide you, just employ you and help you grow and stand on your own. Not to see you dependent on government handouts taken from those who work and produce.
I'm proud to be an evil, greedy capitalist.
That is fine to be capitalist, but know you won't ever be more powerful than the people. That is all we're saying. That working together, united, the people mobilizing against the tyranny of the rich. Democracy and freedom for all is the only admirable option a society can pursue and will only achieve it through collective action. The government in capitalist society is the peddler of socialism for the rich, capitalism for the workers.
Socialism isn't democracy, tho. What socialist government has actually created an utopia where all are equal? There is always an elite class, just due to human nature.
Socialism hasn't been implemented on a nation-state scale before. There have been governments with extensive social welfare programs, national banks, and practice state capitalism but no country has been wholly socialist.
Also, according to Marx's historical theory - late capitalism would bring on the verge of socialism, right now the neoliberal capitalist age is "late-capitalism" and thus we see governments and capitalists self-serving each other exploiting the workers from all around the world. We beg for decent wages and benefits when it is we who produce their wealth for them. There is no reason a working man, a student, an orphan, the old should go hungry and be left on the streets while we have incredible amounts of wealth being spent on someone else's luxury.
There are still classes in socialism, communism is when full social & economic equality is established, the gap between them is just drastically lessened. I believe in some variations of socialism there is small-scale capitalism allowed, which is good because it promotes growth in localized economies. We also need to be very environmentally conscious and transition to a production-for-use system instead of production-for-profit. We cannot assume infinite growth in profits on a planet with finite resources. It is simply unsustainable.
The environment is a factor in the need for socialism, but I can write about that later if you wish. Sorry for the long comment! I enjoy discussing the topic.
I appreciate the answers. I do not think we are likely to agree, but I enjoy the discussion.
My personal choice would be a meritocracy with a financial system based on capitalist principles. All are equal under the law. You have the opportunity to gain more by working for it. I do believe in a minimal social net. There should be a way to get help for those who absolutely need it, and massive punishment for those who defraud and abuse it.
If there is no reward for risk and hard work, then there is no incentive to provide it. For earning a fair wage, I do not see someone working in fast food the same as a skilled welder or some one writing code. A trained monkey can flip hamburgers and make fries. A person working to advance themselves is required for the others.m
For those who feel it is wrong for those who own businesses to be wealthy, I ask, who is risking that wealth to provide the jobs that are being sneered at? I support the concept of a trade union, but I disagree with how many current unions in the world are being run and taken away from their proper purpose. I do not support those who use a capitalist system to abuse their employees.
I'm guessing you never seen Scandinavia, Paddy? Best quality of living in the world with MORE economic freedom than even good ol' 'Murica.
my vote 🙂

It was a good day for eIreland.
Clerics being related with Labour party multis and staged coup...that is Ireland in short.
As we said before and now it has been proved ILP and Labour PArty (Orcs) ride together for some time and such our holy work within ILP is hard from over.
And while you were all being focused on ILP Clerics were occupied with Ordo Heretics...
After all Clerics are slayers of armies of SATAN! like we lsayed ICA and Libertad....not parties...
mikebane we used to like you. remember how you tried to bribe rafiaia to buy the leadership of eire aninaor how you created multiple multies to PTO that party. How you were supposed to be a past hobo a person who was a drug addict and who ended up on the street and was othing but a hobo. how dare you judge you. I am a winner in RL your nothing but a unrealistic little loser. Enjoy your stupid party tomorrow when you wake up you will still be a pathetic little loser and I my dear sir still a winner,. nothing changed mate you cant take away winners money and spread it amongst losers like you ha ha ha ha ha
Actually despite my great personal struggle, I am going to a university for International Political Economy and Environmental Economics and also going to be renting a house with some fellow activists and musicians. I also plan on getting an internship at the state legislature next year.
So yes, despite my rough past I have overcome many great obstacles including my own personal demons. I'm, in fact, a "winner" by your definition.
but ok dont beat yourself up about it kid. you survived that shit not a lot of ppl do if i were you and had some money just enjoy your youth but do not always follow the heard(as vik likes to call them) and break ties with people that stood up for you in the past.
also this shite about ti being a PTO is just orc crap. and their full of crap even have their own private orgs like this one check kid.

That's cute RTK. That Org was created by ICA, back in the days when anyone could build an org for a few gold.
They later registered it as a national org and donated it to the state.
You tried to make them look greedy,
Failed and made them look generous.
Another day, another RTK failure
Actually that org was created by Donovan Thomas and given to me when he retired from the game. Then one of the ICA members (I don't remember as it was a looooong time ago) asked if they could use it as I had about 10 orgs from Thomas I wasn't using. Then when the orgs got cut it was transferred to the government. There are a couple of gov orgs that once were mine via the same process.
a person who sells out his friends at the first bend is no winner in my eyes . mikebane why do you sellout at the first chance you get thats what i never understood about you all this talk about socialism but your nothing but a medal hunter.
ps there is no medals for pp .
