[SFP] Vote Phil Harmony FTW
Citizen 8942290
this Friday once again you will have the chance to decide who among the candidates should be the chairman of our great party: the Socialist Freedom Party. The most important thing is to VOTE!
So, today our leaving-PP, Maxwell Hanz published his closing article. During the last month we "went with the flow"; thanks to ultra-active Jimmy Cincinnati, party programs were running and thanks to high-energy Salty our primaries went smooth. Nothing more, nothing less. But the Revolutionary Committee (RevCom) didn't have much work to do, nothing was initiated and most disappointing: we still didn't put our "official" Discord channel under RevCom control (more about Discord later). On the other side: it was a peaceful term, everything was functioning. Thank you Max, but sorry to say: I've expected much more from you.
At this moment we have 7 candidates running for the PP seat. That's a lot for a party that has less then 100 members. But only 2 other candidates took their run seriously and released campaign-articles. First one was J.A.Lake. Lake came back just recently, after a long absence. I love it when old members show up again, but it was a surprise to me that his ambition was to take the lead right away. In his article, where he announced his candidacy (he wrote one other article before that, a historical overview of his e-life until now), he called for "reforms". While I was fine with his plan to re-invigorate our media (that is very active anyway), I was shocked to read what his "reforms" are about!
Lake wants to re-write our Constitution. He then wants to put the Revolutionary Committee out of power, by a so-called Perestroika (and we know how that went well in the USSR) in order to establish a more centralized and less democratic body of governance, namely the Central Committee.
I have already stated my views and opinions about this kind of plan in the comments of his article, but have to once again make my point very clear:
I will defend our Constitution now and always! And we are not even using our Constitution to the full extend; it give every member the possibility to do amazing things, bring ideas forward and have impact on our politics and policies. As a closing statement regarding this issue, I'll say the following:
Glory to Osmany Ramon - our foundation
Glory to Phoenix Quinn - our inspiration
Glory to TheNorm - our regeneration
Glory to PilotPhil - our liberation
Dear revolutionary brothers and sisters,
if you will honor me and vote me into office, I will be only your Party President for the month. Because it is this ways how we operate. I'm only one among many: by our Constitution we, the SFP, have a collective governing body, the RevCom. I am delighted to present you the voting members I have chosen and will be most proud to be their chairman. Here they are:
Most of them are well known to all of you, some are new and upcoming (like Chris, another outspoken PP candidate). Be assured these people have knowledge, are highly active and will be an awesome group on the steering wheel of our party!
Now, what are my plans?
I want us to get more interconnected with other parties. I will be open to every party or party-leadership in the eUSA. But first and foremost: I am looking to re-establish a close relationship with our brothers from the Black Sheep Party. The communication stagnated during the last two month and this makes me sad. We share many viewpoints and our common ground is the same: honesty and freedom! We need do find a way how to become equal partners for the benefit of our community! This also means taking the reign away from the power-hungry double-faced pig-disgusting elitist gang and establishing a new executive that will lead our e-country out of this servitude to foreign powers!
This is a bold goal. But I believe America is ready to take a new path towards a more honest, more open, more transparent and more just government. Aren't we all sick and tired of looking at the same people being in control for ages? eUSA is a joke on the international scene: we flip-flop, let allies down, take loads of tax-funds from the people and give "peanuts" back. We can do better! SFP knows better! Let's give it a shot!
We need a truly official Discord channel!
Let me tell you a story about our current "official" Discord. The "owner" is Dylan, also known as "Goddess" and in game as YaGirlDaMoney (or was it YaBoi?). He acts like it's his private business. It's sad to see that not even our current party president Max has any power or saying there. Dylan uses this channel to promote his gay-vegetarian fascist agenda (you get "jailed" if you say bacon is delicious, imagine that). This is unacceptable. Furthermore, he is known to give his elitist-piggy-friends a platform to poison the minds of our members frequenting there. Administrators of this Diascord are "elected" by strange procedures, "rules" are selectively applied and double standards are common. For example: when someone calls me a c**t, nothing happens. But when I call that same person a b**ch, I get removed, jailed, kicked or banned - you name it.
If you take a look at those many hit-pieces Dylan has written about me, you'll get the picture. And this is the same Dylan that was coming to SFP days before congress elections and then, after being elected, went straight back to his "puppet-master" in that "cocktail party". The puppet masters have changed, but the game remains the same.
I have asked for control over this channel in the past, demanding that our RevCom should be established as authority there. No success.
Even worse: the channel is a gathering of foreign e-agents, thieves and liars (yes Khorek, I'm talking about you) who use it to spread forgeries, disinformation and pig-disgusting propaganda of the nastiest kind.
We need to resolve this quickly. My plan would be: either our party, the RevCom is put in charge of OUR Discord, or we create a new, truly official SFP Discord, where things are done according our established orders and rules, as written in our Constitution.
I will not let this to continue. Pig-disgusting propaganda will take place somewhere else! There won't be double-standards. The rules of Discord will be applied. Only the Party leadership will have a saying and only the RevCom will rule over it, be in charge.
I hope I have convinced you that I'm your best choice in Friday's election. I hope you can identify with the goals I've outlined and I hope you'll decide to cast the vote for me. I will be there for you, I won't hesitate to use my own funds to help out where help is needed and it will be my privilege and utmost honor to become your next Party President (for the 3rd time, because there's the charm). I will be active, conduct the business transparent and have always an open ear for everyone - I will be always just a message away!
I salute all members of the SFP with a promise I will keep:
I WILL WORK FOR THE BENEFIT OF EVERY MEMBER
I WILL DEFEND OUR CONSTITUTION!
I WILL UPHOLD OUR DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES!
I WILL GUARD OUR FREEDOM!
LONG LIVE THE SFP
POWER TO THE PEOPLE
Yours truly
Phil Harmony

I've just found some of "your" money and have sent it to you. Now be quiet and eat that banana! 😃
SEND ME MY MONEY YOU LIAR!
I think you will be in your cage for a long time, Colin!
Explain liar.
Go ahead!
Wut? You are calling Phail a liar? Let me tell you, he's got way more credibility than you Colin (sarcasm... of course).
I believe Colin will soon have a new account:
Colin Lantrip 4
Wanna bet 500 k cc?
Send him his 💰 or stop running your mouth liar.
What are you talking about, pig??????
Why should I send 500k cc to that ape?
maybe you shouldn't tell people you already sent Colin money to help with his co's against Russia... if you didn't... lair
Maybe you should stop watching eRussia getting wiped and do something about it, Mrs. Piggy Potus?
Usually jokes don't need to be explained, takes the fun out of it.
But you, you don't get a joke even if someone draws it on a piece of paper.
Let me draw a map of eRussian on a piece of paper for you...
wait a minute... Error 404 - eRussia not found
What are you gonna do about it, Melissa Nose?
Oh now it's a joke, wow that fell flat because your joke is not funny at all. The only joke I see here is YOU.
I don't hear you laughing, I hear you crying like a little boy you are!
No please go spam other articles, you useless excuse of a troll!
Interesting program. It will be a difficult choice this month.
Good luck!
You've only really said things that you don't like or won't do.
Things you say you'll do:
1. Talk to BSP. And be open to anyone else who can tolerate your writing style.
2. Reignite the Discord control debate.
Everything else: ???
Want to help out with the International Socialist Congress?
❤
Not really.
I'm not good with committees, even on my best days. Too much talking, not enough doing.
It's a lot of doing: translating the Invitation article into German, Spanish, Portuguese... publishing the article in other countries. Then contacting the people, scheduling the Congress - a lot of work needs to be done before it can happen!
Best program i see. It will be the choicee this month!
Good Luck Phil.
... singing Billy Idol in the background ...
I ❤ you brother!
yeah, shock to the system \○/
❤
shall not perish from the Earth...
discord for the people.!!
True that, mad!
DISCORD FOR THE PEOPLE!
A platform based on revenge it seems.
So piggish
Revenge??
You drunk man?
Haha Phil the Biggest Liar and Oppressor in the game saying he believes in freedom and honesty XD you are by the worst candidate to ever run for anything
Talk to the hand!
ah to be ignorant and stupid
Yes, you are ignorant and stupid, therefor
TALK TO THE HAND!
nice use of the I know you are what am I arguing strategy what are you going childish insult will be used next will you call me doodeyhead? XD or will you run to your mommy saying the big bad southerner isn't playing your game the way you want them too XD
What is it that you don't understand when I tell you to
TALK TO THE HAND?
[removed]
Well. At least Phil's party isn't named after a particular Nazi General...
you do realize that was changed within the last month by the sitting pp right?
That doesn't make it any better...
Several good candidates this round.
I am honored to have been included as one of the members of Phil's committee of advisors.
I would however be remiss and negligent if I did not mention that among the members selected that I am, at best an oligarch, I admit to being a dyed in the wool socialist, and often share my resources with as many people as I can manage, But the real truth of it is that I hold and command resources far beyond those of the average eRepublik citizen, and as such qualify as "The Rich" withing the classical definition. If Phil's platform is accepted and he is elected, I will do my very best to make sure there is an equal distribution of resources among our population, and will do al in my power to spread the wealth, but I would not, nor could not undertake any office without making a fair disclosure of my personal circumstances and the fortunate position I have been allowed to occupy in our society.
I ❤ you brother!
Now I will campaign even more, shout even more and hassle even more, just to make that happen!
Good luck! Phil 4 SFP!
Thank you, brother!

Any constitution too rigid to be changed and unable to update itself to remain relevant is a doomed document. The United States' Constitution has been amended twenty-seven times since its ratification in 1789. Ten amendments came immediately following the ratification in a document known as the "Bill of Rights." To suggest a constitution should not be amended because- gasp- it would change what worked in the past is illogical. Without amending the Constitution Americans would not be guaranteed free speech, the right to bear arms, the right to vote (if you have two X chromosomes), slavery would not be abolished, and so on. Without changing the Constitution, the United States would not exist today. Constitutions must be able to change, and beyond that they MUST change.
The strength of the American constitution is that it can change when it needs to, and has changed when it was needed. Dogmatic defenders of what WAS right in the past, people who insist that change CANNOT occur lest we become something entirely different, are relics. They are not fit to lead, as they can only look backwards at what was and not forward at what can be.
Mixing RL and eRepublik is dumb, you should know that.
But let's go down that roa😛 you were loud about changing our party Constitution, but you didn't provide NOT EVEN ONE example, where the wording or meaning or whatever is outdated!
Here is your chance: give us all ONE EXAMPLE that is wrong and give us THE CHANGED wording, how you think it should be!
Be my guest!
You are trying to get out of the hole you dug yourself in: what you want is a centralized body that has authority OVER the RevCom and you want more power for the PP/leadership!
You are piggish to the bone.
Now, please provide ONE change we should adopt and tell us WHY!
We need to create an area that allows for administration. An amendment must be added that will create this- I've termed it the Central Committee. The purpose of this committee (and by extension the amendment creating it) would be to create one area all for business. This would be a brain, a data center where documents are compiled to allow for easy access and the discussion of the programs, initiatives, and the likes run by the SFP.
With this degree of centralization I believe the party will be more organized, more politically viable, and in general more successful.
Why can't the RevCom do the same as you wish the CentralCom would do?
I know what you're up to, gonna quotes you:
"...radical reform in the party that will grant party officials greater power."
We all know what that means, don't we?

Thank you, friend!
Unenforceable laws are bad laws. They encourage people to break the law.
Laws which set one class above another are bad laws. They are unjust, unfair and arbitrary.
Laws which diminish human rights are bad laws. The rights of one are to be cherished as the rights of all.
If we have the capacity to govern ourselves, let us look to equality and justice as our guides.
You speak my mind, brother!
Equality and Justice for All!
