COMINTERN
Communist International
"Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." - Confucius
i. Background
It has long been known that the communists have been oppressed by the capitalist regimes throughout the world. Some of these communists have succumbed to the relentless bombardment by the capitalists and have resorted to socialism to avoid their beating. It has been high time that the communists and socialists in the world band together to protect one another from capitalist aggression. All those with leftist ideologies have hid away, and this shall end. The leftists in the world must unite!
ii. Preamble
For the purpose of defending communists, socialists, leftist libertarians, and any form of leftists in the world, the Comintern will be formed. In order to ensure the security and the stability of leftists everywhere, we must all organise into the Communist International for a safe and secure society.
I. Article One
Terms of admittance to the Comintern are as follows.
- All applicants must adhere to the Charter of the Comintern,
- All applicants must be in a state of relative stability in order to best preserve the goals of the Comintern,
- All applicants must recognise each member-state as an equal sovereign state co-inhabiting the world in peace,
- Each member state will be required to house an Political Bureau of the Comintern [Politburo] for diplomatic and administrative purposes in its political capital, which is to funded by said state unless the state is incapable of supporting said Politburo.
II. Article Two
"Comintern Council of Commissars"
II.1. Section One
In the spirit of further maintaining the sovereignty of all member states, the "Comintern Council of Commissars," herein referred to as the CCC, consists of founding members and voted members: founding members are automatically members of the CCC, and further members are voted in by other member states. These votes may not be vetoed or interfered with by members of the CCC. CCC members may not be removed without unanimous support.
II.2. Section Two
All leftist applicants may be automatically admitted to the Comintern should their admittance not be contested by any member state. Should their application to the Comintern be contested, the following procedures for engaging in vote should be initiated.
II.3. Section Three
All members will vote in a general poll, as all member states within the Comintern are automatically members of the General Assembly, which will be explained in detail further in the Charter. The polls will be created by a member of the CCC, and members may vote anonymously for or against the admittance of the contested member state.
II.4. Section Four
The CCC will retain power over all of the major decisions of the Comintern through a democratic vote over a twenty four hour period. Motions which are successful will require a vote of no less than two thirds to pass.
II.5. Section Five
The autonomous regions of member states of the Comintern will or will not be granted an independent vote depending on whether the mother state wishes it so.
II.6. Section Six
At the head of the CCC will be the Grand Commissar, who will oversee the affairs of the entire Comintern. For the moment, the Grand Commissar is Vladimir Mikhailovich Stuyonovich of the Communist Dominion of Stoklomolvi, and will remain as such until the Comintern has gained enough members to be considered an actual, formidable alliance of communist states. In the future, votes will be held to determine the Grand Commissar.
III. Article Three
"The Iron Curtain"
III.1. Section One
All member states are to refrain from inter-Comintern aggression. Any inter-Comintern disputes must be settled through diplomatic discourse and, failing that, through a meeting of the CCC. Should any state resort to violence or overly-aggressive economic, domestic or political tactics in order to undermine their Comintern brother(s), the remainder of the Comintern is charged with the immediate punishment of the offending state should diplomacy fail.
III.2. Section Two
All nations are encouraged to commit their armed forces to continued and precise communication with other Comintern forces in the spirit of strategic clarity and victory. No member states shall be required to house any foreign military personnel on domestic soil, nor are they required to commit soldiers to any sort of rapid reaction force. There is no obligation to commit forces to the offensive operations of any Comintern state.
III.3. Section Three
All Comintern states reserve the right for first strike tactics against enemy states, providing opposition to said tactic is not voiced by another member state. Should said member state oppose said tactic, the CCC is charged with vote to determine the course of action to be taken by the instigator of the conflict. Similarly, should the CCC vote in favour of the action, then said protesting nation must support the first strike. The unjust invasion of any third party is fully accepted politically (not necessarily militarily) providing the third party nation does not respect the sovereignty of a Comintern nation. However, the Comintern does not and will not endorse or encourage an unprovoked invasion of a foreign state in any way.
III.4. Section Four
Any attack on an Comintern nation is to be considered a declaration of war against every single Comintern nation. All Comintern nations are expected to follow their fellow members into battle to defend any Comintern member to their fullest extent. Exception is to be granted at the will of the defending Comintern state, who may decide whether or not said aid is required.
III.5 Section Five
The Comintern must defend against outside threats, with the goal of achieving peace and prosperity to all neutral and Comintern-aligned nations. There are no official enemies of the Comintern unless an alliance explicitly states that it targets leftist states.
III.6. Section Six
Any action of unprovoked deployment of weapons of mass destruction, genocide, or any other form of mass targeting of civilians without prior Comintern approval will subjugate the offending state to vote by the Comintern over whether or not to reprimand said state; should the state be voted to be reprimanded with a four-fifths vote, then said state will be embargoed upon by the Comintern for a minimum of one month and a maximum of one year. Usually, the usage of weapons of mass destruction is not strictly regulated by the Comintern.
III.7. Section Seven
Because of the variety of laws and customs throughout the Comintern, any citizen of a Comintern state who breaches the domestic law must be subjugated to the nation in question's judicial system. All member states must actively participate in the identification and arrest of all terrorists or enemies of the state where upon they will be transported back to the source of their offence. When concerning a Comintern-wide breach of law then the ultimate command of the situation should be delegated by a council of Comintern representatives.
III.8. Section Eight
Each member state is required to cooperate fully with all other Comintern members in the arena of international intelligence. Any agency that discovers information of relevance and/or importance to any other Comintern member must make said information known to the CCC as a whole immediately.
IV. Article Four
"Communism and Commerce"
IV.1. Section One
In the spirit of encouraging inter-Comintern commerce, no member-state is to hold a greater trade tariff against another member state than extra-Comintern exportation tariffs. In accordance of said spirit, no Comintern member is to hold a tariff on importation of more than 5% towards other member states.
IV.2. Section Two
Concerning the greatest exports of the world, in order to safeguard Comintern interests both individually and collectively, unnecessary fluctuations in key industrial exportations must be avoided to ensure the stabilization of prices, thus providing each member-state with the highest profit attainable. Key industries in question prone to instability or inter-Comintern economic aggression must be coordinated by a relevant sub-committee of the Comintern including all members of the industry concerned.
IV.3. Section Three
Via any form of synthetic or natural disaster, all member states are expected to significantly aid any other member nation whom is in a state of economic crisis. Said crisis include but are not limited to: Natural disaster, war, reparations of conflict, economic depression, drought, famine and internal destabilization. Monetary and military aid are expected, however more direct methods such as labour, relief workers, food, or medical supplies are encouraged.
IV.4. Section Four
Recognition of the rights of any Comintern citizen to move freely within the Comintern is highly encouraged. In the event that such an agreement between states is unattainable, an advanced Visa program is compulsory where upon all Comintern visas will be addressed and granted at an accelerated pace from that of others. The Comintern understands, however, that the completely free movement of goods within the Comintern is impractical when concerning the variety of customs, cultures and laws that inhabit the region.
IV.5. Section Five
No member state is to be permitted to enact an embargo or blockade of trade against another without approval granted by the CCC with vote. Reprimands due to weapons of mass destruction use are exempt.
