Dr. Einbach's "The Metamorphasis of Politics"

Kampfers
30-07-2007, 19:54
Dr. Einbach, one of the most respected professors at Kampfers Stadt University, recently had his latest book, entitled The Metamorphasis of Politics, published. Originally heralded by the media as "extraordinary", "amazing", and "prophetic", further examination of the book shows that long sections were left out of the copy given to the critics. These sections did nothing to detract from the quality of the writing, but rather gave the book a new meaning.

In the book, Dr. Einbach analyzes the changing political world. He begins at the earliest parts of recorded history, and continues on to analyze the political situations of the future. All in all, it is a well written book, and it's message is clear. Unfortunately, the message is not one favorable to the ears of many of the allies of Kampfers.

In his book, Dr. Einbach oftentimes refers to communists as a "dying breed", and claims that the proof is in the world today. One excerpt from his book reads as such:
The downfall of communism and/or socialism is easy to see in today's society. Even the most widely known socialist nation, ommonly known as The World Soviet Party, has given way to what they caim to be "new socialism". This new socialism is hardly socialism at all, but rather capitalism in it's earliest stages. Taking a look at the history of the world, it is easy to see that most of the capitalist nations of today once had a ruler who controlled most of the buisness and wealth of their nation, however, over time, corporations and independant buisnessmen slowly wrested said power away rom the ruler,marking the shift from socialism to capitalism. Over the coming years, it can be expected that this trend will continue to take place in The World Soviet Party, and eventually, the leader of the Global Union of Socialist Nations will no longer be a socialist.

Dr. Einbach also references the nation of Wagdog, claiming that if they truely were a socialist state, that they would not dare hold the nations of Vetaka and Kampfers in such high regard. Dr. Einbach also gave numerous other reasons for the downfall of communism, and one was the Organization of Havenic States, as seen in this excerpt.
In a world like our own, it is easy to see why communism can not presently and never will be able to exist. Large groups of nations, such as the Organization of Havenic States, who comprise much of the power in today's world, have a pronounced hatred for communism, and will go to great lengths to destroy it. Some view their cause as admirable, others see it as despicable, but it remains a reason that communism will not continue to last in the world.

But Dr. Einbach's interesting book did not end there. He then began to discuss the issue of some of the major alliances in the world today. He began with the alliances that Kampfers was a part of, attempting to draw the readers in. First on his list was the New Prussian Empire.
It is a sad day to see so many nations allied together on the premise of race. The fact is, this will only lead to future troubles. The more power these nations gain, the more they will truely believe their falsehood of their race based alliance, leading to the concept of a "master race", and epic purgings on a scale never before seen in the world. However, at this point, the New Prussian Empire is quite alright, and one can only hope they remain so.

He also gave a short commentary on the United Federation of Allied Nations.
Their goals of a world with no slavery, great human rights, and no war crimes are honarable, but lets be realistic. In a world where nations such as Doomingsland and Automagfreek stand among the largest in the world, and also belong to some of the largest alliances in the world, it is simply impossible to think that United Federation of Allied Nations will be able to do much. In all reality, the United Federation of Allied Nations is the weakest of the major alliances, although it is slowly gaining power. Simply put, not enough nations care about the rights of humans to make this alliance worthwhile.

Moving on to other alliances on the world stage, he discussed the Soveriegn League breifly before moving on to the Corporate Alliance.
The Soveriegn League is a dead alliance. What I mean by this is that they are no longer relevant on the world stage. How long has it been since you have seen the Soveriegn League influence world politics? It has been many years. As such, the Soveriegn League should no longer be recognized as a major force in the world today.

The foul group of nations and companies called the Corporate Alliance is hardly an alliance. Sure, they fight together, but they compete with each other every day to get make profit. The scum don't understand how to run a company, much less one the size of some of theirs. Invading a nation and raping them of their natural resources does not help a company, in fact, it actually hurts them. In today's world, where so many nations are energy and oil independant, the invasion of small oil producing nations by Griffencrest only turns people against them.

He also discussed the Questarian Commenwealth, the New Alliance Treaty Organization, and Gholgoth.
All of these alliances control much of the worlds power, and both are very desirable friends for any nation. However, they are currently at war, and they do not appear likely to mend relations at any time. One must pick sides, and if one is to worry about the human rights aspect, it is obvious that that side can not be with the New Alliance Treaty Organization or with Gholgoth. However, if one attempts to not pick sides, it may be possible to straddle the fence for a while and see who will emerge victorius before picking a side.

He mentioned other alliances such as The Global Defence Initiative
and The Global Union of Soialist Nations, and also mentioned The Community for Common Economic and Strategic Development, but did not go very in depth. He also commented on past alliances such as The Global Alliance of Sovereign Nations and The Dominion Commonwealth, and mentioned that The Aggressive Defensive Alliance of Nations might soon become one of those as well.

The comments about communism do not sit well with some of Kampfers' allies, but raise Kampfers in the views of other allies. The Kampferian government was unavailable for comment, but an insider in the government reported that many of the upper level brass have read the book and are considering adopting it as their own personal political outlook. It is yet to be seen if Fuhrer Richtoff is one of these, and for that matter, how his allies will react.

OOC: Why, thank you for recognizing me =p

*Feels all important*

Anyways, this is just an anti-communist book, am I right?

OOC: Not just that, but yes, that is one of the major points. It also discusses major alliances in the world. But a good part of it rips communism.

IC:
Though the book generally follows the Autocratic Federated Empire's ideals, several thousands of copies of books were stolen from bookstores and burned in the streets by civilians for its Anti-Corporate Alliance message. The total loss to the publisher and author is an estimated $3.4 million.

The Government of Akimonad has stated that it will not take an official stance on the book, citing poor relations with the nations of the NPE anyway.

The book, with its anti-communist content, sold quite well in academic circles in TPF. It didn't sell well among the local populace, only because they had more scorching and biased books to read, while this one was much too scholarly in its approach. However, some scholars flamed the book due to its suggestion that the New Prussian Empire believed in the "Master Race" and was "racist". Many scholars asked themselves where the NPE had ever conducted or said these things, noting it was not in the charter and no politician has ever claimed to believe in such fairy tales. In fact, Dr. Gore, a leading professor in Political Science, published a short article in an academic magazine, showing the race mixing common in NPE and TPF. He futhur pointed to the large number of Asians and African Americans serving in the TPF military. Despite these mistakes however, Dr. Gore praised its anti-communist content.

This 'book', more likely a pile of crap written by a lunatic, has been banned from the Imperial Empire of Maldorians. Any tourists, citizens, and the like seen with this trash will be promptly arrested and stood in front of a Maldorian trial. If this 'Dr. Einbach' is a respected professor of Kampfers, then I am afraid to see what Kampfer's normal professor's think.

You scumbag. Have you done any research? But then again, your nation is too poor to afford normal books. Instead, you get corrupt books filled with propaganda. Open your eyes to the light.

IC: The book was published in Tejas, but large sections, including any sections criticizing communism or the GUSN were censored by the People's Security Bureau. It did not gain any sort of wide distribution or following. The PRH-TT has not commented on it.

The release of this book has motivated The Armed Republic into becoming stronger and showing the world that the UFAN can make just as much a difference as other world organisations.

The book did not achieve a very good sale status, considered as "average, mild, light reading" by most of the population.

It did sold well on the part of the population with imsomnia, as the boring lecture finally accomplished it's goal, making people fall asleep.

OOC: I just grabbed the main alliances.

IC:

In Kampfers, there were mixed reactions to the book. The local pub known as The Hard Place was a common stop for many working men and often the location of many fierce debates about the world and Kampfers ' role in it. Three nights after the books release, Bill Rock and Chris Marshall discussed it. The views they expressed were commonly shared in the hearts of most Kampferians, even if not outwardly shown.

Bill began the conversation as he grabbed a beer from the bar. He and Chris were longtime buddies, and often discussed things that soon evolved into pub wide conversations and debates. Bill took a sip of his beer and sat down next to Chris. "Hey man? Hows it going?"

Chris had his nose buried in The Metamorphasis of Politics, and did not respond.

"Ah," Bill said. "I see you got the new book. I read that myself just the other day. Hows it going?"

Chris looked up to his friend. "Quite well. I'm loving how he beats his die commie die drum in such an elegant manner."

Bill snorted. "Yeah, thats great and all, but did you read the part about the NPE? I can't believe he'd trash talk our alliance like that!"

Chris sighed. "Ya know, Bill, I think that part about the NPE is misunderstood. Personnally, I got the extended version of the book with footnotes. If you read those, it clarifies more. Here!" Chris leaned over to show his friend the note.

This section was not intended to rag on the New Prussian Empire. It is simply there to state that one can go too far.

Bill smiled. "Well that sure makes it a hell of a lot better."

Chris nodded back. "Yep. Oh, and this part is pretty funny too." He flipped to another page only in the extended version and showed it to Bill.

I also wish to commend noble goals of the Anti-Furry Alliance.

Bill laughed. "Thats a good one. Speaking of which, why isn't Kampfers in it? And why are we still allied to Wagdog? The communists are so foolish. They don't realize that their days are numbered."

"Thats a good question Bill. Whaddya propose we do?"

"Dunno. Revolution ain't out of the picture. I'm getting tired of this dictatorship crap anyways."

Chris shook his head. "Maybe, brother, maybe. I say we let this play out a bit longer before we do anything though."

Similar conversations echoed throughout the taverns and restraunts of Kampfers. Something was brewing.

Meanwhile, the box office sales for A day without a Commie set records for the highest grossing film ever in Kampferian history.

OOC: And technically this would be after the whole CA/NPE war, not in the middle of it, because of fluid time.

Review: The Metamorphosis of Politics

Sophie Windsor, the LBG's senior entertainment correspondent, reviews Dr Einbach's work, The Metamorphosis of Politics.

If you're planning on picking up a copy of Dr Einbach's 'extraordinary' work at your nearest Barnes & Noble, I'd think again. I, for one, made the mistake of actually reading the man's book - it's something I regret.

First and foremost, it's just painstakingly obvious. If the book were to get an award, it would be the "Captain Obvious Seal of Approval". A Londinian with even the most rudimentary knowledge of international politics could have come to the same conclusions that Dr Einbach does, and with far more clarity and with ten percent less worthless bullshit.

But, I have to admit, the book is decent in some aspects. For instance, the high-quality paper that the publisher chose made an excellent tampon when I couldn't find one, and my friends assure me that it serves equally well as toilet paper.

Also, if its raining, the excessive amount of rubbish that Dr Einbach wrote pads the page count quite nicely, and if you're ever caught in a sudden rainstorm, it makes quite the handy hood.

In short: I give The Metamorphosis of Politics a negative nineteen thousand stars out of five.

Sir,

I reply to the point about the Sovereign League being a 'dead alliance'. The Sovereign League contains much of the Questerian Commonwealth block, members of the Royal Georgian League. The Sovereign League contains the two of the largest naval forces, Praetonia and Questers have an excess of fifty thousand ships making them have a considerable control on the worlds maritime areas. The economies of Praetonia and Questers are of considerable economic power, Praetonia outranking the New Prussian Empire in combined gross domestic product alone.

NATO and Gholgoth are currently fighting against the supporters of freedom, democracy and laissez faire capitalism. The states of this bloc are in the realms of the statist regimes of the Corporate Alliance. Who ever wins in the war that is being fought will control the world, no group or organised bloc of nations will be able to stop the combined military power of the Questerian Commonwealth with its superior naval fire power and economic strength or the powerful militaries of Gholgoth and NATO.

On your point about the Organisation of Havenic States, this is rather incorrect as the organisation does not stand for a set political ideology with Haven being a mixture of ideologies ranging from large free market libertarian nations like Willink and The Silver Sky all the way to the collectivist, totalitarian despots of Kroblexskij or Hallad. It is no doubt that Haven is the most powerful and influential region being the centre of the Questerian Commonwealth, the Sovereign League and indeed NATO.



Yours Sincerely,

Dear Sir David Churchill,

I assure you that you are quite mistaken. While your stance is correct that the Sovereign League is comprised of individualy powerful nations, they have ne'er acted as a cohesive group in recent times. It was this lack of activity that proves that the Sovereign League is in fact dead. Should they once again act in a cohesive manner, it would be likely that I would remove this tag from them, but until that happens, my mind is set.

About Haven having no political stance, you are correct. But, it is easy to tell that they are allied against communists. One must simply look at how they treated noted communist ally Vetaka, well, how your nation treated Vetaka, to see this.

Sincerely,

Dr. Richard Einbach
