The reason for the supression of left-wing parties is that they are campaigning against human rights. The right to free trade and owning property is considered sacred in Hippostania, and I see no reason why an ideology that supports killing successful people and giving their property to the peasants should be allowed. Also fyi, we have also banned far-right parties. Extremism is bad.


Such a thing has never happened under the long rule of Socialist and Communist parties in Herrebrugh. It is therefore completely false to claim that Socialism leads to these things. Coming back on our economy: the economy has been improving and only improving for a long time. The lowest point you see was just one month after a right-wing dictatorship ruled the nations of Herrebrugh. Socialism has brought the people hope and a chance at a bright future, no matter social class. And when you are talking about banning extremism: that's bad. We have no authority to tell the people what they should vote for, whether this is through propaganda or even through law. It is undemocratic to take away the people's rights to vote for whatever party they want to vote for. The exact opposite of Herrebrugh actually.


The probelm with Socialism is that it will never work when implemented with human beings. We are self-preserving, some would say greedy, to a fault. So it is in our nature to look out for ourselves first. With humans, socialism cannot last. Works great on paper though lol

We ban extremist parties because quite often they oppose such basic things such as human rights and democracy. These rights are non-negotiable, and even if the majority of the people would like to abolish them, we wouldn't. I find it very sad that if you people wanted to, they could just curbstomp all human rights. That is barbaric.
You still haven't answered the fact that it is immoral for the goverment to take money and property from people and divide it amongst all kinds of bums and hobos. They don't deserve it, if a man works hard for his money, he should be allowed to keep that money. State has no right to intervene in that.

The "hobo's" (we call them the homeless) need money to get their life going again. If you do not grant them the money they will stay homeless and, in your philosophy, would be a nuisance. And don't you think that, if the Herrebrughian people would have hated the state this nation is in, they would have elected another party instead of giving the Socialists their, what? Sixth cabinet in a row. Clearly the people likes the way our state is being run. Democracy, friend. Far away from home in your case.

I believe that your country's citizens are brainwashed. Your country's name is Socialist People's Republic of Herrebrugh. If some non-socialist party would gain power, would you change the name? Would you also remove the commie symbol from your flag? Your country may be semi-democratic, but only because its people are brainwashed to love socialism from birth.

To answer your first question: It is the philosophy of this nation to help each-other forward to create a strong state in which everyone can live their life.

Secondly: Our country has certainly not been brainwashed. The WA has given us a civil and democratic rights rating of superb, do you think we brainwashed them too?

People can help poor and unfortunate people if they want to. Voluntarily. You can't force someone to help someone without their consent.

Also, you didn't answer my question

Funny you should mention that, your people are taxed 68% of their income.

EDIT: while pushing those tax dollars to defense and law enforcement.

So one political party has advantage over the others? One political party is so much important than others that it can decide the name of your country, and also put their logo on your flag. Hmmm, sounds like North Korea.

Giving one party the control of an entire country is worse than outlawing an ideology that supports violation of human rights and abolishment of democracy. I haven't seen any fascist or nazi parties in your country either.

Herrebrugh's economy is indeed doing very well for a socialist nation but unfortunately, not as good as it could be doing if it was following a more free market model- we conclude. According to NS Dossier: Saiwania's GDP per capita is currently at $47,057.38 and is regularly within the high 45-48,000+ range. While Herrebrugh's GDP per capita is at $36,993.20 an over $10,000 difference in average wage!

We wish Herrebrugh all the best in following the welfare state model, but it is not a path our nation can follow- unless switching to socialism can definitively raise our economic statistics any higher as opposed to our current system, which it cannot.

Currently four parties have control over our country. Also, there been been no recorded case of human rights violations in Herrebrugh in the modern times by either the WA or one of the various branches of the Internationale. And democracy is still present, otherwise right-wing parties like the VVD, NRI or VBP wouldn't even have a voice in the parliament, like the left in yours.

Obviously you've made the right decision with your free market state, that is if you consider the economy to be more important than anything else.

While I agree that parties should be equal in their opportunity to the power, I must say socialism is not an ideology that supports violation of human rights or abolishment of democracy.

In fact, I think you're confusing social democracy and libertarian communism with Stalinism, which is preposterous.

EDIT: while pushing those tax dollars to defense and law enforcement.

This is interesting actually.
Us socialists take a portion of the people's money and use it to help the weaker.
You, on the other hand, take a portion of the people's money and use it to fight the weaker.

Hippostania started as an Inoffensive Centrist Democracy, I'm trying to lower taxes and it's slowly working.

I take a small portion of people's money and make them feel safe by giving the law enforcements lots of funding and by giving the army lots of funding makes us strong and able liberate neighbouring nations from opression. I've liberated four countries in the past four months alone!

Currently four parties have control over our country. Also, there been been no recorded case of human rights violations in Herrebrugh in the modern times by either the WA or one of the various branches of the Internationale. And democracy is still present, otherwise right-wing parties like the VVD, NRI or VBP wouldn't even have a voice in the parliament, like the left in yours.

You do know that currently the Social Democratic Party is the largest party in Hippostania, mainly because the right is split up between several right-wing parties.

And if your country is democratic, why is its name Socialist People's Republic? Doesn't that give the Socialist Party an advantage over the other parties? Why is there a socialist star in your flag? What makes Socialist Party so great and mighty that it can control your entire country?
