((OOC: Ok, this will start up just as a story, then I’ll open it up. Feel free to make OOC comments and tags, and requests to join.))
Prelude:
Many years had passed in Jonothana since the small civil wars that took place between the Communists and the Capitalists, the government forces had easily taken over the areas in which the wars took place, and every person that had participated was either killed or jailed for life. Warring isn't tolerated in Jonothana.
But not all of them had been caught. They had formed groups. Underground groups hell-bent on the destruction of the "corrupt" government. Groups of people that would rather be dead than see yet another year of the government they so despised.
In this form, divided, they had very little, if no chance of success. However, many leaders of the groups did their best to disguise this fact from their members, who were bound to the Communist ideal they had held so dearly for so long and were so dedicated to.
The belief was that “The Truth” would somehow aid them. "The Truth" was, by their reckoning, a force that would give them victory. Some preached how "The Truth" would force everybody to join them in their crusade. Some, how it would force the government's immediate surrender. In most of the groups, saying anything against these preachings would constitute serious punishment, usually death. People weren't realizing soon enough that "The Truth" would only aid them in morale and enthusiasm, it was an abstract noun, and it couldn’t give physical aid.
For months this was the case, and the few people who spoke out were killed brutally in a manner similar to if they had been a cult. Finally, the leaders of two of the larger groups, which had strong links with each other, had had enough. Luke Caelan and Marcus Daren decided do denounce the myth of "The Truth", stop the cult killings, organize and make the Communists respectable, and, most importantly, unite every single group.
They resolved to start the Daren-Caelan Communism Network, or the D-CCN. They would make membership completely voluntary. They thought that a leader’s “righteousness” should not be tainted, and thus in a leader had punished for “Truth Violations”, or preached it - as some didn’t - they should be allowed to slowly ease off, and join a different part of the network, that still preached the newly dubbed “Truthism”.
And, on “Decree Day”, the day on which the decree was made for the creation D-CCN, almost every group was a member of the main network. Most of the members of the groups in the secondary network had joined a mainstream group, and there were now only 34 men in the secondary network. They would start regardless.
Present Day:
Caelan and Daren called the meeting that they knew they needed to call. They called it “Lerac Faicilit Racion”, “The Reformation Speech” in the old language the first Jonothanian Communists used. Every leader was to assemble in the large building that Daren’s group used. Caelan would speak, as they had both agreed he was the more charismatic of the two:
Today, people, we see the formation of the Peoples Liberation Army. No more are we a network of separate entities, ruled by my colleague, and I hypocritically, in the absence of democracy, free speech, and, most importantly, equality! Those days are no longer.
But welcome the new united front. Soon, every man, and woman, for we must remember that sexism is yet another Capitalist corruption against the bliss of infinite equality. Soon every troop in our army, this includes us, and you, will rise, out of the shadows, out of the underground, into the full view of the public.
Then, we will do the only things we can do to stop the scar of the earth that is Capitalism, if only in Jonothana.
He paused for a second in contemplation, having slight second thoughts about what would come next. He knew it was what he wanted to do, but was it what they wanted to do
We will slaughter every single human being that is in the Parliament building. Every security officer, every bureaucrat, every MP. And, perhaps more importantly, every single citizen of this to-be great land of Jonothana who should want to witness this horrific event, and spread the capitalist evils that are spawned there. We must revolt! And we must do it properly!
Pausing again, he waited for the cheers. The cheers he hoped for that is. He knew that communism was to be brought to a nation through violent revolt. But were the former powerful men acceptant of their loss, brutal enough to carry out such an attack? Were they proper Communists
He soon received an answer. First, a man towards the front began to clap. It spread slowly to the people around him, then instantly to every man in the room. They began to cheer.
Caelan smiled. “Communism will work!” he yelled. A tear came to his eye. Daren smiled. Their reformation had worked.
He gestured them to quieten down before he spoke again.
So, go to your group:
Tell they that they are no longer led by you.
Tell them they are no longer held to the group they were in.
Tell them there is no longer any separation between every group.
Tell them that they are part of the PLA, should they so choose.
Tell them that they are not lead by anyone but themselves.
They may choose to be led by someone else, but that is a decision made by them, and that they may choose not to obey them at any point in time.
Tell them that they can choose to be organised by Daren and I, aided by 12 handpicked members of the former network for the War Committee. Our organisation of the masses would be vital for any attack to succeed. However, should they choose to go out on their own, then so be it. They are free. Can I expect your membership to the PLA
“Yes!” echoed around the room. Caelan suddenly realised that any refusals would be drowned out. He certainly did not want that.
Thank you! But, always remember, you can choose not to. Every man in the former network has the choice to go not join. We do not want an event similar to the corrupt conscription by our tyrannous government. I do not want to force you to. You must be sure you want to do it.
Now, finally I must address the issue of the 34 remaining allied Truthists. They may join the PLA, yet they are also free, and choose not to join, to leave his group, or to continue to be a Truthist. And for the 60 who chose not to join the former network - we propose we leave them be. They are our brothers, in reality. However, it does trouble us that we do not know what they may be preaching under the Communist banner. We will, therefore, go and investigate what every group does. Should their system be similar to ours, we will leave them be, and inform them of the PLA, and welcome them to join, as well as purveying our freedom policy, and make sure they know we are not in any way forcing them to join. However, should they be putting Communism into disrepute, or pose a threat to us, then we propose we should be unforgiving and eliminate them like we will with the Capitalists, as they are both equally evil. Do you agree?
A resounding “Yes” could once again be heard throughout the room.
Thank you very much. May Communism live on!
With that he left the stage, followed by Daren, and their head bodyguards.
The revolution had begun.
