Ariddia exits State Socialism, embraces pure Communism
Today, the leading Ariddian newspaper Voice of the People revealed, along with every other medium in the nation, the PDSR Ariddia has taken its final step in the long historic process towards communism. Today, the paper informs its readers, quoting government spokeswoman Miranda Ej, Ariddia leaves forever behind the step that was State Socialism, and embraces pure Communism.
Today Ariddia exits history.
“Our Socialist government was only ever intended as a preparatory stage towards communism,” Ej explains. “We have been working hard to make our nation ready for this great event. And the people have been working hard with us.”
In practical terms, this means the State has disbanded itself, and conferred full sovereignty to the Ariddian people.
“This would not be possible in most countries,” Ej says. “But here in Ariddia the people have evolved sufficiently to be ready for communism. The change seems to be immense, but in fact almost nothing will change. We have already phased out money for a long while, and people go about their daily lives taking what they need, helping one another, and working for the benefit of society. There’s no selfishness. I feel the people of Ariddia can truly be proud of themselves.”
Addressing the issue of international relations, she specifies,
“Our diplomatic relations will stay as they are. We will still have ambassadors representing Ariddia abroad. And we will still have armed forces; they will be the only place where there is still some form of hierarchy.” The police will remain to help Ariddians who may require their assistance, and to inform tourists, as well as to intervene against any potentially disruptive tourists.
As for the presidential palace, it will be changed into a museum, and the buildings of the People’s Prime Parliament, into a place of public debate, open to all.
Representatives of minority parties, such as the right-of-centre Movement for a Democratic Alternative, have challenged the legality of this entire process, and have sought to bring it to court, only to be informed that there is no longer any judicial branch able to accede to their request.
“Oh, yes, our country will keep its full name,” Miranda Ej concludes with a smile. “After all, we still are a people’s democratic social republic. It’s still meaningful. More than ever, really. We’ve simply embraced the full potential of our social democracy. As has always been the will of the people.”
