[DRAFT] Liberate The Internationale

Postby United Massachusetts » Tue Mar 13, 2018 12:08 pm

Liberate The Internationale
Category: Liberation | Target: The Internationale | Proposed by: United Massachusetts

Noting the existing Security Council precedent set by SC #XXX, which justifies the use of liberations as a means to frustrate the propagators of hateful ideologies,

Firmly asserting that the brand of revolutionary communism espoused by the Internationale (and its military partners in The Red Fleet) is fundamentally hateful towards those who, among other things, hold religious faith or dissent against violent revolution as a means to attain social change,

Saddened by the manifestation of such hatred in the form of the violent actions of the Red Fleet, whose forces have involved themselves in the destruction of several capitalist regions and the raiding of those regions who merely desire peaceful coexistence,

Unsurprised that the present regime, whilst claiming to be democratic, has forcibly exiled countless individuals merely for raising opposition to communist rule, considering that the supression of free speech is a vital component of the communist ideology to which The Internationale's leadership subscribes,

Annoyed that the Internationale retains a positive global image by masquerading as the leading force of anti-fascism across these nation-states, despite espousing an ideology that is not far removed from fascism in nature,

Believing that through its trampling over the rights of regions, the Internationale, and, by extension, the rest of the militant left, has surrendered its right to protection from the Security Council,

Yearning, therefore, to punish The Internationale for its crimes against others, its crimes against its own citizens, and its hateful ideology,

The Security Council, by the advice and consent of the Delegates and member nations thereof, does hereby liberate the Internationale.
I only intend to propose this if "Liberate KAISERREICH" passes.

Frankly, I'm opposed to Liberate KAISERREICH. This is primarily designed to make a point--this whole liberate to destroy thing is a slippery slope.

Alternatively, we could just not ride the slope at all. Liberate KAISERREICH is a horrible idea, and, if this is what it takes to set a negative precedent, so be it.

You haven't made any argument as to why the precedent is bad, beyond railing against it. I think it's a dynamic way to add freshness to the security council.

Not much, if I recall. Typically, liberations are for invaded, founderless regions (and it ought to stay that way).

This proposal does demonstrate why liberations as a tool for harm should not be done. However, I don't accept this slippery slope arguement.
Hello! I’m a GAer and NS Roleplayer from the United Kingdom.
My pronouns are he/him.
Any posts that I make as GenSec will be clearly marked as such and OOC. Conversely, my IC ambassador in the General Assembly is Ambassador Fortier. I’m always happy to discuss ideas about proposals, particularly if grammar or wording are in issue. I am also Executive Deputy Minister for the WA Ministry of TNP.
Kenmoria is an illiberal yet democratic nation pursuing the goals of communism in a semi-effective fashion. It has a very broad diplomatic presence despite being economically developing, mainly to seek help in recovering from the effect of a recent civil war. Read the factbook here for more information; perhaps, I will eventually finish it.

All it demonstrates is that the legislative revolution is here. If UM wants to try it, he should go for it, he has my full support in principle if not for the actual liberation, because it shakes up the meta.

Liberate KAISERREICH will invariably become, at some point, Liberate Right to Life. Or, Liberate Catholic. Or, Liberate The League of Conservative Nations. Liberate Libertatem

The list goes on. This is going to be used as the tool to destroy the right on NationStates, and, as a left-winger, I don't like it one bit.

Most of the support against KAISERREICH is expressly on the basis of anti-fascism. Whether or not you agree with that classification of KAISERREICH, I don't see an indication of widespread support for a conservative purge.

I don't see it coming though. Any reasonable evidence that the broader NS community would make this? Let us not forget, that this is primarily KR's making.

I agree! I personally think that the "antifascist" front are false leftists who are threatening democracy across NS. I actually wrote a manifesto about it. I also implore democratic nations in the WA to oppose the "antifascists" and their sympathizers, such as TRF, North Korea, and the aforementioned Internationale.

Misley railing against Libertatem and placing RTL on their super-top-secret raiding targets list.
Tim publicly saying he wanted Right to Life to CTE.

Again, the list goes on. Even if it won't be done directly, many people in positions of power across NS will try to use this to gain major concessions from the right-wing. And they can do so because I'd bet you that a liberation of Right to Life would pass right now, with widespread support from the lemmings and with support from several GP elites.

I like how you describe yourself as a left-winger, yet you refer to it as a tool to destroy the right...using terms that accurately describe your own region.

That's where it always starts. Remember when CAIN labelled Right to Life a Nazi collaborator?
