Why do you practice such an authoritarian version of Marx's ideals? Authoritarianism has only led to suffering here in the USSA, where under the reign of Premier Foster, the workers he stood for were forced to work a gunpoint, purges were enacted against rival political factions, and the minds of the youth were coaxed into worshipping him as a divine figure. His actions were so brutal that he started a revolt amongst the Mexicans, a consequence which continues to haunt the United to this day. We had simply replaced one tyrant with another upon letting him lead the revolution in place of the old order. I fear your nation may be making the same mistake.
-President Thomas Reed of the USSA
"We most certainly don't hold our workers at gunpoint, Comrade President; and neither do we force our working-class to worship our ideology as divinity. The culture of my people is a strictly Oriental one, and I understand if you cannot fully understand it. The people have, themselves, created a system to give thanks to the leaders of our nation to remind themselves of the roles we each have in society, and of the traditions we have fought for so long to protect. The problem with understanding this phenomenon lies in a Soviet reactionary fallacy that there must be separation between State and people. In Asia, this schism has already been overthrown through means of Cultural Revolution. In fact, it is the division between State and People that creates dictators under Socialism; such as Leon Trotsky, or Maduro, in Venezuela. The schism refutes the people from the revolution, giving limelight for the individual to exploit the system for determinism, and for one's own freedom over the freedom of the collective.
In Asia, one must be self-governing, but mindful of the needs of the collective. A citizen must be wise enough to know when to conform, and when to oppose. When one must conform, called by the tide of war or by the need to abide by the Igarashi System; one must give oneself wholly to the needs of the collective, and remind oneself of the wisdom of the Great Leaders. But when one is called to give critical thought, he must be swift like a viper, giving no leeway; challenging the system wholeheartedly. But even then, one must contemplate whether that opposition will benefit the collective in the end.
It is not ignorance, it is love of one's own; a love that has nothing to do with Democracy or Authoritarianism. It is what empowers our working-class to strive to be the best version of themselves each and every day."- Secretary-General Garrick
