The Coalition of Ponyist States (In-character); (UPDATED)

[Lubyak]

"No," Orange Blossom said, "I mean the internal quarrels that threaten to tear the Coalition to pieces."

Seriously? I thought you guys were all united or something.

OOC: hahaha...Hahahah...HAHAHAHAHAHA....AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
But seriously, the Coalition has almost torn itself apart several times in the last few weeks. We can present a united face, but we've got LOTS of internal problems. Mostly related to the fact that we're squeezing all kinds of different governments under one roof.

Hmph, you need to emphasise more on Ponyism above everything else. But let me know if you wish to accept or reject my application.

"Death to the Fascist."

We also publicly recommend that all human-ponyists leave the Greater Aryan Race for states that are... more respectful of minority rights than fascist swine.

"Death to the Fascist."

HOI! I don't have a bone to pick with you Ponies (maybe I do but not in this time).

[Dizyntk]

Kina and Nisa snicker at the reference to fascism.

Kina - "From what we have read of your history,"
Nisa - "the differences between fascism and communism"
Kina - "are practically non-existent"
Nisa - "at least when put into practice."
Kina - "We have always wondered why the two ideologies"
Nisa - "seem to detest each other so much"
Both - "given their similarities."

[Dizyntk]

Kina and Nisa nod in agreement.

Kina - "It is a flawed theory when put into practice."
Nisa - "We Dizyntk have always believed in what you refer to as,"
Kina - "capitalism for our economics."
Kina - "Though politically we are,"
Nisa - "and always have been, a monarchy."

"Is there an ideology not deserving death in Luna's eyes?"

[The Greater Aryan Race]

*sigh* And I thought Ponies were intelligent.

The truth is that the Communism implemented throughout history does not follow Marx's exact theory. Marx wrote that when the Proletariat overthrow the ruling class, the State and all other functions disappear, hereby creating an environment close to that of anarchy. (Don't ask me how this will happen. It is practically impossible). The problem is that Soviet Russia's Communism still retains the functions of the State and hence is not really true Communism. Maoism in China follows a more peasant-based and agricultural-based approach, totally out of sync with what Marx and Engels called for, which was for the industrial workers to begin the revolution.

Fascism, rather than preaching equality (which is absolutely impossible since the most basic form of inequality still exists), believes in inequality. Only the Strong will overcome the weak. This is most aptly demonstrated in Fascism's belief in one-man rule, totally contrary to Communism.

"If memory serves," Octavian spoke up. "Princess Luna has epxressed her ahh...distaste for forms of government that do not focus on the welfare of the people."

[Princess Luna]

"Is there an ideology not deserving death in Luna's eyes?"

In practice she adjudicates this based on how many death camps for political dissidents there are in a nation. If the number is one or more, then the local rulers and their ideology deserve death. Also if they openly permit slavery or other genocide.

But as this describes most Fascists and Communists, we generally find it easier to express our distaste in the short form.

[The Greater Aryan Race]

We also publicly recommend that all human-ponyists leave the Greater Aryan Race for states that are... more respectful of minority rights than fascist swine.

*struggles to keep himself from facepalming himself* Someone hasn't been reading my factbook. I tend to respect the rights of the minority. Everyone is equal in the eyes of the State, unless they plot to overthrow it. Now that would warrant prosecution.

We are most offended by your baseless accusation. Slavery is forbidden within the GAR. Furthermore, you will understand that these so-called "death camps" are simply concentration camps meant for the purpose of protective custody.

From your factbook:

-No other political party is permitted to exist except for the ruling party, membership of another political organization is punishable by death.

Fortunately, it's deeds not words we judge them on, here in the Principality's Department of State. We have no interest in the communism outlined in Das Kapital, but in the communism where political prisoners are forced to work with molten uranium with no protection whatsoever¹.

OOCness: Indeed not. Nor do I need to. My nation is biased against reasonably cautious about Nazis, and the likelyhood of suddenly... death camps in any fascist state.

¹ - Yep, the USSR did this.

[Dizyntk]

Both girls scratch their heads in unison.

Kina - "I thought that was what we said earlier"
Nisa - "That the differences between the two ideologies"
Kina - "were negligible when put into practice."

The two of them then shrug and proceed to go about with their job. Watching to see what these ponies were all about. So far their opinion was that they were about bickering with each other. How this made them any different from humans was beyond the twins' imagination.

[The Greater Aryan Race]

From your factbook:

-No other political party is permitted to exist except for the ruling party, membership of another political organization is punishable by death.

The other political organizations tend to call for the overthrow of the State. A few have tried terrorism, sabotage and assassination. So yeah, we tend to reply with our own draconian measures.

For the record, we are not Nazis. Nazism is not Fascism.

Her Highness hereby donates to your cause one chemistry book. With it you can make polyvinyl acetate, cyanoacrylate and many other modern glues that are not derived from animal hide.

If you wish, we can also provide you with a book on how to make synthetic paint so that you don't have to say, grind up mummies to get the colour brown.

¹ - Yep, the USSR did this.

Don't look at me, I would never have such barbaric regulations at my camps. They make us Fascists look bad. Plus, it's so troublesome finding new prisoners.

[Princess Luna]

Ahah. So you admit camps exist?

We return to our original point of "Death to the Fascist."

For the record, we are not Nazis. Nazism is not Fascism.

We find the fact that Nazism is also known as Hitler-Fascism to be quite a convincing argument to the contrary, and care little for any distinctions you care to make anyway. We do believe that we said it adequately with "Death to the Fascist."

[The Greater Aryan Race]

*facepalm* Concentration camps, not death camps.

So I guess this means my application is effectively trampled underfoot by the hooves of Sapient Ponies.

(OOC: The phrase actually suggested to me by C'tan's player)

"The skulls of the Hitlerite Fascist and the Italian-Fascist are equally satisfying going under a T-34."

Charming. Nice to know how the rest of the world thinks of you.

But you too Allanea? I thought of you as an ardent democratic nation but never as part of the CoPs.

[Princess Luna]

OOC: Indeed. I think he couldn't resist, I was talking to him about your application on MSN. It is getting... a little spammy now.

On the other hand, I can't see why he'd not be issuing statements on nazis trying to get into COPS, given its importance to certain *coughC'tancough* allies of his.
