AFA name change?

Hello to everyone 🙂

This time I won't wrote in the name of AFA, as I have been doing it twice before, but I will do it in my own name.

After several appeals that were published by AFA, I have read a lot of comments that I had found honest and helpful in order to help me and other players in AFA to understand what is it that we should do so we could get integrated into society. One of the things, which was repeating as the problem for many players, was the name of the party. For them, it still represents the symbol of politics which was declared by nation majority as undesirable and retrograde.

I can understand that. American Freedom Alliance was mostly seen as a party which was only serving for Serbian PTO interests and RGR's interests as well. And it is still seen that way. So I started to think if the name change would change anything.
It would be surely the sign of our party's will to reform itself and make distance from the past. At least I think it should be like that. But who guarantees that it would really be like that? Is there use of name change if people will say that it is old AFA with it's old habits, but only with fresh name?

The conslusion is that just the name change wouldn't be enough, but it could be one of the things which could help for the further integrating. So, personally, I wouldn't have mind to discuss about this topic with other AFA members. But, there is no use to discuss it between ourselves if no-one from the governance structures doesn't want to discuss it with us, together with all the other questions which would be important for resolving all the problems which have been generated in the past.

So, to shorten the story, I call again all the people who have some influence and positions in the leading political structures to open up their minds and let us start negotiations with them. Negotiations which could lead us to epic deal, the deal which could finally close the chapter of the domestic instability caused by the previous misunderstandings between two warring sides.

I hope that you won't judge me because of my loud thinking, whatever side you belong to. I just make some prepositions which could bring up some interesting discussions between us. I search for resolving problems, like I have always done from the time I became Secretary General of AFA. Join me 🙂

Regards,
Toto

Worthless now...

This would be good. Work hard, and you can make it. It may take over a year, but nothing is beyond redemption.

AFA needa a name change, and you have to find a way to remove rgr not only as a member, but as a citizen of the u.s. if you think anyone is gonna fully trust this party again.

Toto Schillaci Day 2,314, 01:28

Sorry, but that is too much. We are not RGR's mom and dad so we could tell him what to do in his own free time and where he should live. We don't have any mechanism to do it, and even if we had, we wouldn't have done it as we believe in democracy, not in the autocracy.

Diggs Day 2,313, 20:29

We had other names before AFA, heck we were some of the other parties before the powers that be PTO'ed us to silence our opposition. That is how I came to join the opposition. Changing our name really matters not, but if it makes you feel better do it. Just don't do it for under the pretense that it will change their minds in any way, as it will not. As long as there is any of us not towing the "official party line" they will demonize you or anyone else who leads the opposition. This was never about RGR, but a way for them to control the feebleminded by demonizing the messenger, and silencing the truth about their own ineptitude/corruption that caused our nation to be wiped more than once.

lol

George Barker Day 2,314, 14:13

If only we had smart people like YOU in charge, only good things would happen. Because it's obvious YOU really understand this game and have it all figured out. Oh well, the nation is just too feebleminded to deserve YOUR vast greatness. It deserves to be wiped. And when it happens again, as it does to every country in this game (except whichever country is smart enough to give YOU control), it will deserve it then, too. YOU have the truth and the way. It must be so frustrating, having all that knowledge and wisdom, but still be too inept to win single election.

A name-change would only be symbolic. The question is: are you committed?

Toto Schillaci Day 2,314, 05:13

That's exactly what I am writing about. Some people give more on name change instead on real reforms in the party. That's what I am trying to point out.

However, we are committed to eUSA and we want to show it. But it seems that many players need us as the bad guys, so it's not in their interest to help us in order to get integrated.

Valiant Thor Day 2,314, 05:16

How about starting to direct your damage where we need it the most?

Toto Schillaci Day 2,314, 05:18

I wrote shortly before about the possibility of making MU which would gather AFA members and which would respect commands of the government. But it wasn't clearly enough for leading structures to even contact us about that preposition. We can't do it by ourselves, we want to do it according to eUS laws, and we need help because of that.

Valiant Thor Day 2,314, 05:29

Have you considered joining the USAF? It's the easiest way.

Skarbrandus Day 2,314, 04:52

Changing names is fun - that I am sure of.
But the real change should happen in content of ur party - if all the members stay and rgr is there with u - nothing's changed and u technically are those same ptoers u had always been before. So reform.

Toto Schillaci Day 2,314, 05:16

RGR is not with us for several months now. We wrote about that few times, but people still criticize us about him, although we are not cooperating anymore.

We also wrote several times about changes that we want to imply, but we get only disrespect and mockery.
