It is my belief, that we shalt have a Sixth French Republic, run by myself, others in such a revolutionary government, as well as the masses themselves in an economic direct-democracy Qadhafi style; with a Communist economy, a Traditionalist socio-cultural outlook, an anti-Revisionist platform, an environmentalist platform, a transparency anti-corruption platform, a Pluralist platform (ensuring peaceful co-existence between all religions, ethnicities, races, irreligious in our country, utilising Syria's model as inspiration), a Left-wing Nationalist platform; with a staunch foreign policy that runs along the lines of anti-Capitalism, anti-Zionism, anti-Fascism, anti-Nazism, anti-Banderites, anti-Uribism, anti-Apartheid (believe it or not, some nations like Morocco or Israel still practise it), anti-McCarthyism, anti-Hedonism, anti-Liberalism, anti-Conservatism, anti-Libertarianism, anti-Mercantilism, anti-Social Darwinism, anti-Imperialism, anti-Colonialism, anti-Ottomanism, anti-Takfirism in addition to anti-Globalisation. Such a Sixth Republic's economics might be a blend of Central Planning (State regulates economy in addition to means of production, organises five-year period guidelines, etcetera), Project Cybersyn, with Localised Planning (revolutionary popular committees run by all peasants & workers; masses own means of production). The State would not touch personal property (your homes, personal belongings, electronics, food, cars, etcetera), however will abolish private property (corporations, conglomerates, private sector financial mobster banks, etcetera). Nationalisation of all domestic in addition to foreign assets would ensue to prioritise people over profits, to utilise these assets for the benefit of the masses by throwing it all into redistribution of wealth, land reforms, socio-economic public programmes, raising living standards, whilst also reduce income inequality altogether.

OP said predictions for your next government as in the next governing party(ies), not unrealistic pipe dreams about Stalinist France.

To quote Putin himself,



Oh I'm not questioning Putin's desire to push back. i'm questioning his ability to influence anything more than 100 km 9which is pushing it anyway) from his borders in any meaningful capacity outside of Central Asia.

He can. His popularity on the global level in some people (including myself is increasing). Of course, if he decides to hit back, all he needs to do from there, is arm his supporters here in the West. Its simple.

Besides, Putin is more of a left-wing nationalist then a capitalist. Russia's real mad capitalists was during the Yeltsin era's shock therapy, which Putin mostly reversed. He also rightfully put many of those Yeltsin era oligarchs behind bars.

China is "capitalist" for overseas trading purposes, socialist at home. Besides this, Xi Jinping from what I read in Xinhua & other Chinese sources, is from the old guard CPC, which means somewhere down the road he might go anti-revisionist.


Putin is no socialist and you have still not answered my query as to how you intend to get the French public to support your 'revolution'.

Its simple.... to cut off Russia from the global financial system if he tries something so stupid like that. Putin knows this as well; he won't press too far.

Of course there is the small matter that said rebels in the west are basically non-existent.

If you press the spring too hard, it will snap back. You must always remember this.


Again assumption. Only reason the rebels even hold as much territory as they do is because *gasp* 5,000 russian troops are helping them! Oh god no even though you just look at russian military training and statustics and know there a piss poor fighting force aside from the elite units. Also assumes that Putin ISO somehow reestablished USSR yet last time I check the USSR wasn't dominated by a generic big tent Conservative Traditionalist party? Yeah that quote goes two ways bud he should probably stop pressing on the NATO spring in might just snap back and poke his eye out. Then again why would he need it right?

By giving the public my sincere political platform, plus implementing half of them (the ones where I place my life on the line to help fraternal movements & governments), which would in turn show the people that I am serious about my promises.
Furthermore, I would show myself as the better alternative to the mainstream political choices, galvanise the public with decent rhetoric, show them the truth about NATO's crimes + those of its puppets, promise to oppose their madness, come home & run for the 2017 elections once I have helped the fraternal movements I support elsewhere succeed. In addition, if I can get some level of influence as a foreign adviser in Novorossiya (I would not be the first one either, revolutionary Egypt post-MB hires foreign advisers too), moreover get them to successfully implement some of my policies, it would increase my credibility at home.

But in reality I'm referring to a term I learnt while living in Sweden for a few months (in which I didn't learn any Swedish because my social circle was limited to the social circle of a drunk Anglophile I met at a bar in Göteborg and my accent was so bad people would start speaking to me in English as soon as I opened my mouth). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_par ... expression)

I don't doubt you are serious about your rhetoric. It hardly convinces, though.

Marine le Pen (for all that I disagree with her about everything) already stole your position as the plucky outsider though. And if those movements elsewhere don't succeed?

Labour is still going to take a long time to recover from its internal problems, especially given their shocking result in September and I can't imagine Winston Peters will still be around in 2017 which will lose the left a valuable coalition partner (let's face it, Winston won't go into coalition with John Key).

Admittedly Andrew Little looks like a very effective opposition leader, and could well get Labour into the 30% range by 2017 making it a much closer election but unless John Key gets hit by a bus, or unless there is a real scandal which manages to taint him (the 'Dirty Politics' stuff won't because the only people who care are the people who already oppose Mr. Key) I think that they will narrowly gain a fourth term.


I can actually see Labour winning government in 2017, although not by a large majority. It will definitely need to be with the Greens and whichever batshit left-wing party rises in the next three years following the demise of both the Internet Party and Mana. New Zealand Prime Ministers generally do not last beyond three terms, if recent history is to be believed.

Little seems like a best bet for 2017, if he manages to avoid being a complete and utter moron like his predecessors. Time will tell.
