Free Communists - Workers Alternative to Leninism

Welcome to the official Headquarters for the Free Communists. The Free Communists seek to set forth a perspective for a future society, overthrowing capitalism and advancing to communism. Our party advocates the position of a “step-by-step advance,” that any social change can only be made when people think such change is necessary and conditions for it are in place. It is also based on the theory of “revolution by the majority” that any stage of social development will be brought about only after the majority of people have agreed and supported it.

The Party also stands strongly for the protection and preservation of, and working together with our natural environment. We also stands firmly against militarism and wars of aggression, as well as the unnecessary use of violence in attempting to reach a communist society. We see national boundaries as arbitrary, our only real differences being those of class. We seek to establish a stateless, classless, moneyless society structured upon the common ownership of the means of production.

Workers of the world, unite!

News and Information

• So, Reboot time. We now have this thread, though we must work quickly to get involved in the various threads deciding the shape of the new RP.
• I am currently involved in talks with Glasgia about the creation of a broader part, of which our party might be a part, if such is agreeable to the members of this party.
• We should probably have a fresh election for the Central Committee soon. Anyone interested in competing for a seat should put their name forward as soon as possible.

Platform of the Free Communists

Statement of Principles
The platform of the Free Communists is the platform for a workers’ republic. That is, our platform is not designed to bring about a more democratic capitalist system. The current material conditions in society have demonstrated the impossibility to resolving even the most minimal of democratic tasks. Moreover, the actions that the working class has undertaken over the past few years have shown that, when our brothers and sisters do begin to make their break with the system of the exploiting and oppressing classes, the transition to revolutionary (and communist) consciousness is relatively rapid and direct.

The Free Communists struggle for the complete victory of the social revolution of the working class and the introduction of the communist program in its entirety. Our Party believes that all hitherto advances of human society in the economy, science, technology and standards of living have created all of the material conditions necessary to establish a society of generalized freedom without classes, exploitation and oppression (i.e., a world communist society), and that the working class upon taking political power must introduce its communist program.

The first historic step in the introduction and implementation of the communist program will be the abolition of the private ownership of all capital, including the means of production, distribution and exchange. This act of abolition will be universal; not only will it affect large- and medium-scale businesses and industries, but also small businesses and shops, and privately-owned cooperatives. This capital, however, will not simply be transferred from private to state ownership. Ownership of capital will be abolished in all ways; such capital will have no owners of any kind. Instead, capital will be seen in a light similar to that of forests or the oceans: as a part of the commons — a resource to be preserved, maintained and used for the good of all.

While there will be numerous issues that will confront a newly-liberated proletariat, we believe the following general principles represent a starting point and foundation for the fulfillment of the struggle for a classless communist society:

Minimum Program

1. Establishment of political and economic structures based on working people’s direct and permanent participation in the administration and exercise of power;
2. Establishment of far-reaching, unconditional and guaranteed civil and human rights, social equality, and freedom for all; abolition of any kind of discrimination according to race or nationality, gender or gender identity, sexuality or sexual identity, citizenship or residency, religion, age, ability, etc.;
3. Adoption of measures to radically and swiftly push aside socially-reactionary, discriminatory and degrading beliefs, customs and traditions, and to help with the development of a free and open culture, values and human relations;
4. Reorganization of the state into a revolutionary workers' republic, replacing arbitrary geographic divisions with organic democratic workers' councils centered around economic production;
5. Development of a syndicalist participatory planned economy, organized by a federal system of workplace assemblies and delegated committees;
6. The progressive dismantling of the state terror apparatus, including but not limited to the abolition of punitive prisons for effective rehabilitation, the abolition of standing armies and state security systems for citizen-militias, and the reorganization of the police into an accountable, democratic institution of public safety instead of class rule.
7. The reorganization of all economic activity to promote a social ecology, organizing human affairs to promote biological diversity, stable ecosystems, and healthy relationships among humans and with the environment.

Party Organizations

Local Revolutionary Committees

It is of extreme importance to our party that local organs exist to support the advancement of the party's goals. Therefore, the central committee authorizes the establishment of the Local Revolutionary Committee (LRC) as such an organ and encourages the formation of Local Revolutionary Committees throughout the territory of Aurentina.

These committees will be given the following tasks.

. Education of the masses in socialist theory
. Dissemination of our propaganda and ideals
. Assistance to the proletariat in the creation of local worker organizations and associations
. Education of the masses on the various tactics for the struggle
. Agitation of the proletariat to encourage them to conduct acts of civil disobedience and initiate struggle, whether labour struggles or those of a wider class nature, against the bourgeoisie

League of Communist Youth

As one of the main socialist party of Baltonia, the Free Communists are obliged to support young Baltonians in their development. To enable the party to achieve this goal, it has created the League of Communist Youth. This organization supports young Baltonians, providing a variety of groups and activities centered around personal improvement, developing community values and gaining an understanding of the theories of socialism.

Community Support Network

As a party, we recognize that the main causes of many of the problems of society can only be truly dealt with via the implementation of socialism. Yet we are not indifferent to the suffering of the needy. We will not wait until the day of revolution to provide aid. Therefore, the Free Communists currently run a network devoted to the cause of helping those in need. It's services include:-

Homeless Assistance

The homeless assitance program has an important aim, that being to help the homeless improve their lot. Provision of rest centres that provide food and a place to stay is one method. Of course, that of working to enable the homeless to gain their own accommodation and help them overcome problems like a need to gain skills or deal with addictions are also included. Support to help the homeless access the welfare system and make the best use of what it offers are also included.

Another system of support is the Basic Necessities Distribution Network (BNDN). This covers items like clothes, furniture and important household devices and items. This system is one available to those with minimal income, though the homeless have a higher ability to access the resources of the network. Naturally, the system of provisions is not limited to the BNDN, with foodbanks also accessable.

Addiction Support

This service exists partially due to the condition of quite a few homeless people, though is open to others. The aim of the program, naturally, is to help people in dealing with and overcoming addictions, whether it be to alcohol or worse.

Minimal Income Support

This is support for people who, while they have a home and some form of income, find it stretched to the limits. This organization provides services like food banks and emergency finanical grants. Other services include a degree of access to the basic necessities distribution network. A travel fund exists for those searching for jobs, plus a limited fund for education and training. There is also a fund for the elderly, ready to supply the elderly with additional funds during periods identified as times when they could need such assistance.

I fucked up.

[CP Central Committee]

Yeah, I know. It happens. Don't worry about it.

[CTALNH]

Yeah, I know. It happens. Don't worry about it.

I am tremendously sorry.

[Threlizdun]

The Russian text is still incorrect. I haven't fixed that yet. We also probably will want to modify our platform to address problems specifically pertaining to this nation. Other than that, it's good to see this thread up.

[Corenea]

Oh look, another party with "Free" in it, NSG Senate has this weird fetish for the word "Free" apparently

[Sahrani DR]

Alright, here we are.
Did only 5 members join the reboot?

[Jozef van Oostvoorne]

I think I'm joining this one instead (Yay, deh communizms!).

Mind if I make an emblem, by the way?

[Dejanic]

Alright, here we are.

You lot were sort of a bit slow with the reboot, the Free Socialists seem to have snapped up a lot of the Far Lefties. Good luck with the party anyway.

[Threlizdun]

We may want to address the issue of international relations further, as the East-West division is certainly more intense in Eastern Europe than it was in the Mediterranean. We have already discussed a position towards the EU, being euroskeptic in regards to the neoliberal and austerity policies of the EU while favoring its goal of regional unity. If our nation were to join it would make sense for us to join the GUE/NGL. In regards to Russia we had proposed being opposed to Russian imperialist, authoritarian, and reactionary policies but in favor of peaceful diplomacy rather than the aggressive solutions many others have proposed.

I believe joining the Schengen Area would be consistent with our values. Obviously we will still be opposed to NATO membership as well. I would support joining the UN but oppose joining the IMF, WTO, and World Bank. The International Criminal Court, International Carbon Action Partnership, European Environment Agency,and International Organization for Migration all seem like good organizations to join. The Non-Aligned Movement is something that can also be considered, though I'm undecided on the issue.

I am ardently opposed to joining the European Union. Regional unity is great and all, but I am firmly convinced that uniting under a capitalist and, indeed, neo-liberal bulwark is harmful to our communist ideal. Schengen, I'm not sure about. About the other organisations I can agree with you.

We can make it an open vote issue, though we can at least agree to be generally euroskeptic.

I can agree to that.

By the way, is English actually an IC national language, or merely OOC?

OOC. I just had to quickly make a logo and the Kalengian language hadn't been constructed yet, so it served as a placeholder. The primary languages are divided among the primary ethnic groups, Kalengian (Baltic natives), Russian, and Swedish. The nation respectively is referred to as Kalengia (Kalengiya), Baltonia (Baltoniya), and Kaldmark by the groups. Since we stand for ethnic equality, we'll use all three languages.

Also, does this mean you're joining our party instead of the Free Socialists?

Sorry. I'm joining the Free Communists instead...

Indeed.

I'm currently making a logo myself, by the way, if that's alright... Uploading it in a bit...

How's this:

Everything can be changed. The hammer and sickle is a bit... Artistic.

You can't do worse than me. We've already received criticism for our logo. I'd be glad to see a replacement.

I like it. It's exponentially better than mine, that's for sure. We may no want the hammer and sickle though, considering the Soviet connotations it carries and how people in this region would respond to that.
