Rally Around the Ideal
After we had split from the Republicans in Cloudbury, the constituent factions of the Revolutionary Front have drifted away from each other. We must not forget our founding ideals - liberty, socialism, and revolution - and rekindle the flame of solidarity in the hearts of our people, so we may become great in time.
|
| |
Concessions to the Internationalists
In return for their cooperation, the Internationalists have demanded that the Republic work towards the immediate resolution of the conflict with the Northern Tribes, as well as engagement in future liberatory struggles in neighbouring Vedina and Cloudbury under the leadership of the General Congress.
|
The Internationalist ideal revolves around a global socialist revolution, where comrades break down national barriers to aid each other in their liberatory struggles. Stuck in Skynavia, our Internationalists are restless and pugnacious, railing against our lack of action to take down the reactionary regimes that surround us. Relations between Sickleclaw's government and the Internationalists are further worsened by Internationalist discontent towards his undemocratic rule.
| |
Concessions to the Communalists
Under the terms dictated by the Communalist coalition, the General Congress is obligated to engage in the infrastructural and industrial development of the autonomous Skynavian communes, whilst at the same time respecting their independence from the central government. A rather restrictive arrangement, but we need their support as much as they need ours.
|
Communalist Indifference
The Communalists like to stay in their independent communes and collectives, away from the bustle of New Skynavia. Refusing to allow their personnel and industry to be "co-opted" by the central authorities in New Skynavia, their pursuit of local autonomy and radical egalitarianism, whilst commendable, comes at the expense of the development of the Socialist Republic of Skynavia as a whole.
| |
Restart Construction
The urbanisation of New Skynavia ground to a halt as the divide between the Internationalists and Communalists grew in the years following the SR Skynavia's establishment. Large swaths of land lie undeveloped, and the city is dotted with incomplete construction projects. A combined effort coordinated by Sickleclaw's staff shall see to the recommencement of development in New Skynavia.
|
| |
Convene the General Congress
It is finally time to make the long-awaited, but never fully realised, concept of a General Congress of the United Socialist Revolutionary Front to the test. With Sickleclaw as interim chairgriffon, the General Congress, staffed by democratically-elected Internationalist and Communalist delegates, will meet in the centre of New Skynavia for their first meeting. Here's to democracy!
|
| |
Industrial Retooling
Much of Skynavia's industry is based off outdated equipment dating from when the socialists were still allied with Kemerskai. What we have now, whilst subject to enterprising innovation from our scientists and engineers, remains outdated and scattered, and most importantly, woefully meagre. Sickleclaw, with the Revolutionary Front behind him, shall pursue the revitalisation of Skynavian industry.
|
| |
Unite the Communes
A consensus has been reached by the notoriously independent and aloof Communalists that, in order to survive against the reactionary forces massing on our borders, the scattered communes and collectives of Skynavia shall band together for their mutual benefit. The central government is still left with little control over Communalist industry and resources outside of New Skynavia, though.
|
||
Rein in the Revolutionaries
Ever since we have arrived in Skynavia, the radical Internationalists have been raving to go to war with all our neighbours in the name of the socialist revolution. Their suicidal expansionist tendencies have cooled somewhat since, but with the formation of the General Congress and Sickleclaw's reconciliatory measures, we can finally harness and put their revolutionary ardour to good use.
|
||
Comradely Cooperation
Although we may not agree with the infuriating indifference displayed by the Hail Forest communes, we recognise that at the end of the day they are still our brothers and sisters. We must seek to work together with them for a nonviolent solution where we will be allowed to conduct troop movements within the forest. This will be a lengthy process but we all trust in the solidarity of the Skynavian people.
|
||
Reclaiming the Forest
The Hail Forest communes are selfish and individualistic in their refusal to accomodate our defense strategy, to the detriment of the rest of Skynavia. We will tolerate such antisocial behaviour no longer! The ever-decisive Sickleclaw will do the tough thing, and reclaim the forest for the Skynavian people with his loyal soldiers. Many will disagree with our methods, but it is for the greater good.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
The Hail Forest Police Action
Sickleclaw's brutally efficient militarisation of the Hail Forest has proved to be overwhelmingly unpopular.
|
The End of the Beginning
Sickleclaw's reforms are nearing their culmination. Already, the mood in Skynavia is hopeful; with the Revolutionary Front united once more, the Skynavian people can now aspire to greater things. The only thing left to do, then, is for Sickleclaw to step down, formally ceding power to the General Congress. The people of Skynavia shall finally be in full control of their destiny.
|
| |
The Conference of the Revolutionary Front
The world is becoming an increasingly hostile place towards socialism. The reactionary forces, rotten and stagnant as they are, threaten to plunge the continent into warfare and chaos at the behest of their pursuit of profit. We must discuss the geopolitical situation at claw in order to face the impending challenges of the future.
|
| |
Socialism and Progress
The Internationalists have argued for a policy of efficient and productive industrialisation. We must seek to strengthen ourselves militarily, socially, and industrially if we are to carry on the revolution and liberate the rest of Griffonia. We must not forget the reason for our exile, and so must fight to return to our homeland as liberators as soon as possible, by all means possible.
|
| |
Socialism and the Earth
The Communalists have argued for a policy of highly-restrained industrialisation, emphasising a respect for the land and its inhabitants, with strict limits on the environmental pollution and ecological devastation that inevitably follow industrialisation. After all, we live here now and so shall our children, and so we must strive to be better than the polluting capitalists down south.
|
| |
Power to the People
In Skynavia, where control over local industry is highly decentralised, standards of living vary between the Republic's different constituencies, from the urban heart of New Skynavia, to the anarcho-primitivist communes of the Hail Forest. We must make sure that such basic necessities as water and electricity are available to those communities that need them.
|
| |
The Collectivisation of Technology
Unlike the decadent bourgeois societies of Herzland, Aquileia, or Wingbardy, where the rich enjoy the fruits of technological progress whilst the poor starve in their hovels nearby, the people of Skynavia shall have equal access to whatever scientific advances made by their brethren. Our technological marvels may be few, but they will serve the many, not the few.
|
Gets event 'Linking up the Communes'. If Internationalist Delegates hold a majority in the General Congress: Gets event 'Taming the Tundra'.
| |
The Liberation of Science
The opportunity to work towards the advancement of science should be open to all who desire it. The foundation of a People's University shall make it so that science shall no longer be confined within the realms of the bourgeoisie, the military, and the industrialists, and instead become an aspiration accessible to the inquisitive masses.
|
| |
Nourishing the Revolution
Here in Skynavia, it is essential to pursue continual growth and development in order to maintain the potency of the International Socialist Revolution that we embody. The Communalists and Internationalists are split on what aspects of such development to focus on, so the decision shall be decided by a vote at the General Congress.
|
| |
Skynavian Telecommunications
Recognising the proliferation of radio technology in Skynavia, and the potency of such technology, the General Congress has convened to formulate a plan to utilise the power of wireless communication for the betterment of Skynavian society. The Communalists want to focus on its civilian usage, whilst the Internationalists argue for the technology's undeniable military applications.
|
| |
No More Drudgery
What is drudge work? Definitions vary, but generally it is agreed that such refers to coerced, hierarchical, or boring work. In Skynavia, the first two adjectives have become inapplicable, but what of the third? We shall now debate how to resolve the problem of undesirable work in our society in a fair, democratic, and open manner.
|
| |
Democracy through Centralism
We must institute the tenets of democratic centralism within the USRF, where political policy is decided through universal suffrage, and the outcome of the vote is binding on all party members. We must stand in unity against factionalism in order to achieve our revolutionary aspirations.
|
| |
Democracy through Confederalism
We must move past the myopic statism of authoritarian nationalism, and instead pursue a radical democracy where differing political tendencies can coexist in harmony without conflict. We reject the suppressive orthodoxy of party uniformity, organising along horizontal hierarchies where a direct democracy of the masses can thrive.
|
| |
| ||
Giving A Voice For The Masses
The right to take part in direct democracy is already available to the Skynavian citizen, who has access to the weekly assemblies of their local People's Council. The proliferation of radio technology will make it so that everybody anywhere will be able to listen in to and indirectly partake in the meetings of the General Congress taking place in New Skynavia.
|
| |
The Democratization of Knowledge
We must make sure that the right to a decent and comprehensive education is fulfilled for the people of Skynavia. Schools will be opened where there are none, volunteer teachers will be trained, night courses be made available to the workers, and soon education will be made accessible to all.
|
| |
The Revolution of the People
Dogmatic party vanguardism begets authoritarianism, where the wishes of the people are subverted to the demands of psuedo-colonial interventions in foreign nations. We must not forget our responsibility to lead the people of Skynavia towards a libertarian socialist future!
|
| |
| ||
Gets event 'Social Revolution in the Skynavian Communes'. If Internationalist Delegates hold a majority in the General Congress: Gets event 'The Birthday of The Revolution'.
| ||
The Machinery of Socialism
The Internationalists contend that the focus of our industry should be geared towards the provision of armaments for the international socialist revolution, whilst the Communalists insist on first improving the standard of living at home. We shall put this to a vote at the General Congress.
|
| |
| ||
Defending the Revolution
Being besieged on all fronts by the forces of reaction, we must focus on the defense of our revolutionary homeland if we want to keep the Skynavian beacon of socialism alight. The Internationalist and Communalist views on the matter are divided, but the proposals from both sides have their respective merits, and shall benefit the cause in equal measure.
|
| |
Enshrining the Commons
There is no privately-held land in Skynavia; all land use is based on usufruct, where everyone has a right to use any unutilised land if it does not infringe on the wellbeing of others. Admittedly, the lack of concrete rules on such informal land use allows for no small amount of misunderstanding. The General Congress votes on the proposed Internationalist and Communalist reforms.
|
All are brothers and sisters in Skynavia. Class distinctions have been broken down so that no creature can dominate another, through coercion or violence. The irrational prejudices premised on species, race, or nationality that are so entrenched in the reactionary countries to the south hold no sway over Skynavian society, because socialism has allowed its people to be free. Ours is a collectivist ethos, where the good of the collective whole takes precedence over individualist desires. This has made our society a bit overbearing, and perhaps we allow our actions to be dictated too much by public opinion, but at least we do all this willingly, in the name of cooperation and kinship.

All Are Equal
The General Congress, though a wholly democratic institution open to the people, remains an elusive bastion of state power to many, in particular the commune dwellers in the Hail Forest and elsewhere. They may care little about the Congress, but we must care for them as our kin. We must further liberalise the Congress, and Skynavian society in general, so that all may participate.
|
The General Congress is the governing body of Skynavia, where otherwise normal citizens from electoral constituencies all over the country are nominated by their communities as delegates, and if successfully voted in, serve roughly 4-month terms representing their constituency at the Congress. This system is democratic and open, and ensures that no individual, clique, or political faction is able to dominate Skynavian politics. The ever-changing makeup of the Congress, and the lack of political acumen of its delegates, means that Congressional proceedings are oftentimes circuitous, as every motion and proposal is scrutinised and discussed exhaustively. This is viewed as an acceptable price to pay for the democracy and liberty of the Skynavian people. | |
The Skynavian People's Army
That the army of Skynavia belongs to the people is indisputable. Already, the most talented commanders of our volunteer militias have developed various tactics suited for the decentralised light-infantry formations of the People's Army for guerrilla fighting in arctic weather conditions.
|
||
Six brigades of Autonomous People's Militia will be formed and deployed.
| ||
Three brigades of Proletarian Revolutionary Guard will be formed and deployed.
| ||
Popular Control of the Military
The military must remain subordinate to the will of the people if the ideals of democratic socialism are to be preserved throughout all aspects of the Socialist Republic of Skynavia. A horizontalised command structure will be integral to preserving democracy both within and outside of the military.
|
| |
| ||
The War in the North
Right on our doorstep are the backwards Northern Tribes, who have warred against us since the foundation of the Socialist Republic of Skynavia, and incessant petty skirmishes on the border continued to claim the lives of our brave fighters. Something must be done to put an end to this meaningless conflict.
|
| |
| ||
Galvanise Our Enemies
The ponies we are fighting against are members of an oppressed social group, misled into dying for their tribal leaders. We should send a delegation to try and negotiate an end to the conflict with the Northern Tribes, or failing that, instigate the commoner ponies into rebellion.

The following will bypass the focus:

|
| |
The Sister Republic Arises!
At the culmination of a great deal of hard work, perseverance, and sacrifice, both on our part and by our pony brethren up north, we have succeeded in developing the territories of the former Northern Tribes through the doctrine of socialism. By democratic vote, the Far Northern Republic shall be established to herald a new era of socialism in the North!
|
|
|
Consolidate the Means of Production
In Skynavia, there are no bosses or capitalists, and the people work for the betterment of society, and of each other, under no coercion or forced labour. The means of production are already in the possession of the proletariat, and so we can now focus on a measured and sustainable industrialisation that centres the wellbeing of the people as the goal of progress.
|
||
Autonomous Cooperatives
The first thing we should do is to formalise the status of the many autonomous cooperatives found all across Skynavia. While the management structure, scope, and scale of these cooperatives vary greatly, they are all united in their egalitarian approach to producing value out of their labour.
|
| |
| ||
By the People, For the People, Of the People
There is little sense to maintain the concept of private ownership over land, considering the lack of capitalist predation on the livelihoods of the proletariat in Skynavian society. We should encourage and propagate the idea of the public's shared responsibility to maintain and make use of the land in the communities, for the common good.
|
||
Educating the People
By creating a network of communal schools, forming an organisation of travelling specialists, and writing up new school curriculums that allow for greater freedom and personal development, we will soon be able to bring education to the people of Skynavia efficiently and on a large scale.
|
| |
Nurturing the People
The development gap between the urbanised areas of New Skynavia and the independent communes filling up the rest of Skynavia must be addressed. Groups of volunteers from the city, bringing with them their expertise, as well as all sorts of machinery and raw material, shall pursue intensive development within the communes dotting the banks of the Skynavia river delta.
|
||
Socialism In Our Time
It is essential for all the socialist nations of the world to be united in our shared fight for the international revolution and the liberation of our oppressed comrades abroad. By sending delegates to socialist nations abroad, we will take the first step in creating the bonds of brotherhood between the free nations of the world.
|
| |
Our Brothers in Arms
The benevolence of the monarchist rule in Vedina does not hide the fact that it is still an instrument of class oppression that has created and actively maintains an unjust status quo. We must decide now on how to intervene in Vedina to liberate its proletariat from the shackles of feudalism and monarchism.
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Our Comrades in Need
Decades ago, we had split with the Republicans in Cloudbury over their refusal to share power with the people they profess to be liberating. Their centralisation of power within an exclusive cadre of the military cost them the support of the people, contributing to the failure of the First Griffonian Revolution. We must reclaim the revolutionary ideal for the proletariat!
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Internationalist Brigades
Both sides of the Congress have agreed on a policy where foreign fighters for the revolutionary socialist cause are to be welcomed to Skynavia as fellow comrades and brothers in arms. These volunteers will fight in our Internationalist Brigades. The first of these Brigades to be created will be the Lions of Skynavia, formed by the hardened veterans of many a socialist insurrection abroad.
|
The Legion of the Lions of Skynavia will be formed and deployed.
| |
Friendship of Species
Taking the concept of the Internationalist Brigades to the next level, we will now start recruiting revolutionaries of different races from Equus and Griffonia, allowing them to fight in specialist units that make the best out of the physical advantages of their respective races.
|
||
Welcome the Exiles
Three prominent revolutionaries - Emma Goldgriff, Mikhail Beakunin, and Pierre Ponehon - once departed from the Socialist Republic of Skynavia a long time ago, citing the lack of action to liberate the oppressed of our neighbouring countries. Now that we have accomplished what seemed impossible a few decades ago, we can invite our exiled comrades back home.
|
| |
The Land of Peace And Plenty
With the culmination of our democratically-driven industrialisation, our Skynavia is slowly and surely transitioning into a socialist utopia. The internationalists and communalists may have their differences, but in the end we have learnt to work together in the spirit of true socialist solidarity and brotherhood. In Skynavia, we are all brothers and sisters in our great socialist family.
|
|
A Socialist Utopia
Through much struggle, the Socialist Republic of Skynavia has finally achieved successful modernisation and industrialisation through direct democracy. Rejoice, for the world is a much better place as long as the Socialist Republic stands.
|
Looking to the Stars
For millennia, griffons have looked up at the night sky, admiring the beauty of the stars. The ponies in Equus may worship the Sun and Moon with a quasi-religious fervour, but to the atheistic griffons of Skynavia, it is the prospect of reaching the distant stars that resonates most deeply with the revolutionaries; after all, this too is but another fantastical dream waiting to be realised.
|
|
|
One Griffonia Under Socialism
Our recent successes in promoting the socialist cause abroad have proved that our revolutionary ideal of international socialism is bearing fruit. We must take this concept further, aiming to finally bring closure to the long-held fixation shared by griffon socialists all around the world - one Pan-Griffonia, united under the socialist banner.
|
|
The Pan-Griffonian Ideal
A beacon of socialist revolutionary idealism, the Socialist Republic of Skynavia calls to the hearts of griffon revolutionaries all over the continent to join in the fight to achieve their shared dream of a socialist Pan-Griffonia.

Unlocks additional Foci.
|
Socialist Magic
For most of history, magic has been the preserve of the bourgeoisie. In ancient Equus, the unicorns were the ruling class for centuries, dominating other races through their magic. Even today, the fruits of enchantment magic remain available only to the richest of Griffonia. Now, we shall free the supernatural forces of magic from the machinery of capitalism, making it accessible to all who desire it.
|
| |
The Next Generation
The socialist education system that served us in Skynavia so well shall be enjoyed by the children of our neighbour countries as well. We will send volunteer to our neighbours, not only to educate the young griffons and ponies, but to help our friends rebuild their societies in the image of socialism as well. Everyone should take part in this effort, in the spirit of solidarity.
|
| |
Socialist Atomics
Working in concert with scientists from our liberated neighbours, we have begun to unravel the mysteries of the atom, and the power that lie therin. When we finally achieve our breakthroughs, will the godlike power of the split atom be put to use for the good of all creaturekind, or as the hammer of the people against the forces of reaction?
|
| |
The Crusade Continues
We have consolidated our power sufficiently in the north to plan for the liberation of the Griffonian Heartlands. After decades in exile following the First Griffonian Revolution, the socialists of Skynavia are now faced with the prospect of returning home. Let us set our sights on that penultimate bastion of monarchism, the Imperial City itself, and charge forwards in the name of socialism!
|
The following will bypass the focus:
|
|
Socialism has Failed us
The failure of the socialist leadership to guide our nation through the hardships of war has left the population thoroughly disillusioned with the Republic's founding dream of a socialist utopia. This gives us breathing space to consolidate our power. However, the much of the nation's youth have only known a life under socialism, and our power grab may soon backfire if we fail to pacify the people...
|
| |
Learning to live as Individuals
For too long the spirit of the Skynavian individual has been suppressed by the stifling collectivism of socialist ideology. The people of our nation need to be retaught how to live as individuals, freed from the rigid conformism of such false concepts as "solidarity" and "mutual aid".
|
| |
Work Camps
For the most vocal of the dissidents against our regime, as well as those irrevocably tainted by their association with the socialist ruling apparatus - activists, Congressional delegates, teachers, philosophers, and community leaders - there is no option but to resign their fates to the work camps, where they may perhaps see the error of their ways through the virtues of hard labour.
|
||
Labour Units
To supplant the failed socialist system of workers' cooperatives and collectives, a system will be implement where individuals are grouped, according to their physical ability, geographical proximity, and other factors, into Labour Units where the social functions of work, sustenance, and community all take place within the Unit.
|
||
Army Decimations
The infusion of political ideology into military doctrine enforced by the socialist regime has led to the stagnation of our armed forces. To break free from the spinelessness of the old military, we will unfortunately have to rid ourselves of the officers and theorists, as well as those rank-and-file, clinging onto the old ways. A tenth of all personnel will be liquidated.
|
| |
Decentralised Fear
To further hammer in the finality of our split from socialism into the public consciousness, we will initiate an extensive program of undercover policing and surveilance. Furthermore, various incentives will be introduced for those who inform on their neighours and acquaintances for socialist behaviour. The populace shall redeem themselves from the socialist scourge forthwith.
|
| |
Martial Law in Perpetuality
The linchpin of our plan to consolidate power is the indefinite extension of the current state of martial law. The most ideologically-pure sections of the armed forces shall be given extensive judicial and governmental authority over civil society, which will hopefully keep the degenerates, thought-traitors, and subversives within our nation in line.
|
| |
Overhaul the Education System
Education is the tool through which we nurture the next generation of Skynavians. A complete overhaul of our nation's curriculum to excise all socialist influences is imperative to the survival of the regime. Emphasis will be placed on the infusion of values such as order, discipline, and obedience to the state in our students.
|
| |
Destroy Subversive Literature
The tools through which socialism has infected the minds of the populace is through the media. Censorship will be applied to radio and newspaper, but our attention will mainly be focused on the destruction of subversive and degenerate literature. We shall start by emptying out all the libraries of Skynavia and purging all reading material and associated media compromised by socialist thought.
|
| |
Picking up the Pieces
The dream of a socialist utopia in Skynavia was shattered with the persecution and decimation its chief progenitor, the United Socialist Revolutionary Front, by the military junta. But although they once stood idly by as the socialism that nurtured them was trodden into the dirt, the people of Skynavia rallied and reclaimed their home from the forces of reaction. Now, we rebuild what we have lost.
|
| |
Dissolving the Army
It was the so-called People's Army that aided and abetted Sickleclaw's power grab. They have betrayed the Skynavian people and the international Socialist cause. Traitors that they are, the Army shall be disbanded, the battalions dissolved and their weapons and equipment redistributed, with the Skynavian communes all responsible for their own self-defence. Militarism's taint shall exist no more.
|
| |
Exiling the Commanders
The Army may have been the main tool of Sickleclaw's oppression, but the fact remains that it was under the leadership of their commanders that they were turned to serve the forces of reaction. The moral culpability for the Army's wrongdoing thus lies with their commanders as well. They shall be exiled for their treacherous crimes, never again allowed to set their paws on Skynavian soil.
|
| |
Swords into Ploughshares
Life under martial law and military oppression has left Skynavia with a bitter distaste towards all militarism. It is inherently undemocratic and unjust for any creature to have control over the life and death of their neighbour through force of arms. Therefore we will seek to demilitarise Skynavia, so that we may live in peace.
|
||
To Each Their Own
Who are we, and what right do we have, as the General Congress, to tell the people of Skynavia what do do, which goods to manufacture, who they should die for? Decrees from the Congress are no longer binding to the autonomous communes of Skynavia, who are free to pursue their own policies. The democracy of the people shall be secure!
|
||
Laws Unto Themselves
No longer can we consciously expropriate the hard-earned fruits of the labour of our people, not even in the name of collectivism. Our workers shall have a greatly expanded say in the use of the goods they produce. Of course, basic necessities shall remain free and available to all who desire them, and this is understood by everyone.
|
| |
Finally, Peace
The traumas of military rule has left Skynavian society scarred and battered, but we have emerged from that dark period stronger and more united than ever. Having had our rights taken from us, we now know to cherish our freedoms and liberties more than ever, and shall protect them so that all may thrive under a new and freer age of Skynavian libertarian socialism.
|
| |
A Pan-Griffonian Constitution
The peoples of Griffonia are diverse and varied, all with their own unique languages, culture, and traditions. A single one-size-fits-all constitution would be restrictive and inherently inegalitarian as a result, but we can still create a loose set of rules, under which all of Griffonkind can live in socialism and harmony.
|
| |
The Soldiers' Revolution
Ponehon has - somewhat forcefully - reminded the congress of the need for more democracy even within the armed forces. None is saying that votes should be cast in the heat of battle, but the soldiers who fight alongside each other deserve a say in who leads them and in where they are sent; our soldiers are comrades, not tools.
|
| |
| ||
| ||
The Workers' Revolution
To the song of pistons and engines our society marches forward not by whipping and breaking those who stand on the factory floor, or in the dockyards, or among the smelters, but by making sure they are provided for and never lose their voice or ability to stand; neither physically nor figuratively.
|
| |
| ||
The Engines of Progress
One of the classic hypocrisies of capitalism is the claim of equal opportunity. How does a fisherpony in the far north have the same chances as an Aquileian businessgriff? One of the greatest challenges for our union will be to eradicate these differences as we bind the Commonwealth together by railroad, by schools and by prosperity.
|
| |
Socialism and the World Around Us
Until this point, we have had to make distasteful choices to be able to carry on the struggle. Now, however, we are freed of this burden. It is time to take a good long look at how we have treated the world around us and what damages may have been caused. We do not own the world after all, we borrow it from our children.
|
Not only does the League push for environmental and ecological conservation from industrialisation as its title suggests, but it also engages in charity and welfare work for the dispossessed of Griffonia as well.
| |
Scientific Socialism for a Scientific Society
We are attempting something never before seen; the construction of a new type of society. In doing so, we must be open to new ideas. Everycreature, no matter who, shall be given the chance at higher education and we shall leave room in our constitution for new ideas and experiments. Let us make our society a steadily advancing clockwork, not a behemoth frozen in time
|
||
A New Culture for a New Age
Goldgriff has stated her intent to begin a new phase of the revolution; a cultural revolution, against the divisive and reactionary cultural norms that offer comfort to those who never knew anything else. We cannot - must not - coerce anycreature, but if we build a common tradition and culture, we can unite behind the universal truths that bind all creatures.
|
| |
The New Socialist Creature
Internationalism needs nationalism as its antithesis. If we wish to truly shake the old imperialist dogmas we must go one step further. The divisive concept of the "nation" must be transformed into an "intercommunalism" that treats all groups of people as brothers and sisters. There will be no nations, only communities big or small that will work to live in harmony.
|
| |
The Abolition of Borders
Now that most of Griffonia lives free under the aegis of Socialism, it is quite absurd that we continue to uphold the concept of national borders, since we are all citizens of our Socialist Commonwealth; the pre-Commonwealth borders were usually nonsensical and arbitrary anyways. Introducing a Pan-Griffonian passport for all citizens will be the first step in our eradication of nationalism.
