THE SENATE BUILDING - DANUBE, Capital of COMMUNIST LIKON

Senator Jackoby, leader of the Democratic Socialist - Moderate Marxist party coalition, the second largest party in the Senate of Communist Likon stood on the podium of the speakers stage of the Senate building.

Jackoby - I agree that during the insurgency of the Shadow War, that it was necessary for power to be delegated, for the Conductor of Communist Likon, Ninel, to be able to direct forces and make laws to secure the safety of the realm.
However, the insurgency has been broken, over 1 million troops of the Red Army, over 1500 tanks, and dozens of jets have destroyed the infrastructure of the isle of Lipvinity to break the back of the Shadow Army, so only a few remain.
The famine in Communist Likon is a serious issue, but one that needs attention from the elected representatives of the people, not the directives of a dictator.
We, the highest authority and voice of the people have had our legislative power stripped away, we must repeal the Shadow Act that gave Conductor Ninel his unrestricted powers, and reclaim the governance of this country in the name of the people and the Revolution!

Jackoby’s speech was applauded wildly by the 404 members of the senate, by all except the People’s Revolutionary Power Party, the majority party who was headed by Conductor Ninel. As if by signal, as one they stood up and left, lead by Ninel himself.
Within moments a full legion of 10,000 men surrounded the Senate building. They stormed inside and arrested the members still in the senate chamber, all those who opposed the dictatorial rule of Conductor Ninel.

One hour later the following broadcast was heard over all Televisions, and Radio’s over Communist Likon, as well as printed in all newspapers.
Conductor Ninel - To the people of Communist Likon I send my greetings. Lately, we have suffered many trials, the Shadow War, and a famine being two of the most recent. In response to these I have been granted temporary dictatorial powers to steer our great nation through these troubled times.
Yet, in wisdom I know that there is a need to go further. I have decided that to turn back the meter on these tragedies, to defeat the influence of the moderates and capitalists in the nation, it is necessary to introduce a new brand of Communism.
The new dictatorial democracy, where I shall rule in your interests has begun. In the spirit of Marx, Engels, and Lenin I shall now become the new Communist Monarch. From now on I shall be Josef Ninel I, Red Tsar of Communist Likon.
All those elements that resist the new communism shall be eliminated, within Communist Likon and without. Revolutionary Justice shall reign in all the land. Our passive foreign policy shall be changed to an aggressive one, where we shall support as many Communist movements against the evil of Imperialist Capitalism as we can.
At home a new industrialisation shall begin to make our nation strong. The nation shall also be purged of its evil Capitalist ways and sympathies.
A new age of enlightenment has come to Communist Likon, my people, Rejoice!
LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION
LONG LIVE THE TSAR
