Mountain Pygmies, even if it's not a traditional political party, is there any organization or loose collective that Nau Yao Yatla is able to represent to the Congress, besides your nation?

Archipelago Territory, what did you mean by 'no thank you' next to ISC Potential Membership when you're applying with a representative, Larry Johnson, for full membership? That makes no sense.

I have two, and they hate each other.

[The Cardwith Islands]

I have two, and they hate each other.

What inspired you to name it the 'Blood and Soil' party? Because, you know, that has far different connotations to a lot of people than 'leftist'.

[The World Capitalist Confederation]

What inspired you to name it the 'Blood and Soil' party? Because, you know, that has far different connotations to a lot of people than 'leftist'.

It sounds nationalist, but it refers to the proletariat seizing the land from the bourgeois elite. Keep in mind that our world, WW2 happened about 130 years ago and was basically a footnote as opposed to WW3 (1945-1959). Nationalism is also mostly dead, as nationalists are supplanted by corporate totalitarians. The Blood and Soil Nazis are basically a big who in our timeline.

Also, some say it's in the vein of the post-WW2 left-wing nationalist movement "Germany for Germans" that opposed the occupation of West Germany. The weird thing about our timeline is that Britain is a heavily Germanised nation due to the German refugee crisis in WW3. I'll elaborate on that further in my factbooks.

I can change it if you want, it's just that it was meant to represent the war for land against the feudal slaveholders of the British Republic.

A big 'who'? You could have picked any other iteration or variation than 'Blood and Soil', really. Also, the Strasser Brothers may have been the most left leaning of the Nazi party, but still they were prominent members of the Nazi fucking party. A very fascist, nationalist and racist organization that hunted down real socialists and communists. I feel like you're trying to get one over on us. We're a political organization. Do you really think we wouldn't know these RL connotations?

I'm just very confused why, if these are leftist organizations in your canon, you couldn't have picked literally any other names that weren't about the Nazi party. If you can change it, it must not be that integral to your canon, which makes me question further the point of using that nomenclature at all. Please help me understand.

I'll change the name of the Blood and Soil Party. I thought this was general leftist. Don't shoot me. The SUBP are integral to the general politics of the nation, so I can't go screwing that around. But if you don't want me here, I'll just leave.

I'm just trying to understand why you picked Strasserism and Blood and Soil as symbols of leftist ideology in your nation's canon. It just doesn't make sense why you specifically latched onto those out of the myriad of other real leftist ideological tenets out there. Or that these two parties are opposed when they're both using Nazi symbolism and faux leftist. Why not make one of them not be so far alt-right they're kind of full circle left? That way they'd have less in common and more cause to fight. But yes, I'm on Discord right now with our group and we're not super enthused about admitting a member into the org that is using Nazi ideology and calling it 'general leftist'.

I just had a lapse of judgement, that's all. Look, if it's any consolation, I'm a leftist IRL. We also have another leftist party, but they don't really count. They're the Social Democratic Labour Party. I'm sorry for any offence I've caused you and I shall be taking my leave.

Suit yourself. I'm just trying to help you out to maybe rethink your canon choices. You can go on doing whatever you like (within site rules), but telling people that obvious Nazi slogans and icons don't have actual Nazi connotations when you're trying to join a socialist group that can call your bluff on that is probably just going to cause you more grief and waste said group's time. You can believe whatever you like, but trying to tell people that the political far right is actually left without laying out exactly how that came about in your nation's canon is problematic. Even if that's just your IC stance it is like telling people the earth is flat or gravity is a myth without any solid science to back it up.
It is going to continue to cause you personal problems you'd probably rather not want to deal with unless you just enjoy trolling folks.

EDIT: Also, if you're going to skirt the line of Nazism and fascism, there are plenty of groups and regions for both out there on NS that are much bolder and welcoming about it. You're welcome to seek them out, although they might reject you too if you're claiming things that represent fascism are really leftist. Maybe you're best off starting your own RP group with your unique view.

Alright then. I'll remove the application for the SUBP and change the name of the Blood and Soil Party.
