It's not that were going Fascist, were going Communist, so that's basically a dictator that's kind. And Leninism means we all have special techniques in dictatorship. Tell me what you react like to this major diplomatic event.

Also with a pinch of Maoism. And Stalinism. And Trotskyism. Basically, we are far left-wing Marxist-Leninist-Maoist-Stalinist-Trotskyists.

(OOC: If you don't mind me saying so, I don't think you quite got the idea of communism...)

I mean FAR-LEFT WING.

We're only Leninists, but Marxist-Leninist-Maoist-Stalinist-Trotskyists? WOW!

OOC: This is silly

OOC: This is silly

OOC: totally agree

Look, whatever you say is not going to budge the politics of Questille.

Most people in Al'Andalus have bigger worries, what with the Doomani and Scandinvan Crusades descending upon them, but some who prefer not to think about it do distract themselves by wondering, how have they reconciled Stalinism with Trotskyism?

how have they reconciled Stalinism with Trotskyism?

OOC: Indeed. Trotskyism and Stalinism are directly opposed schools of thought. Unless Questille implies that why he may be Trotskyist, the way he rules over his people is Stalinist.

OOC: Which would certainly imply a dictatorship that is less than "kind"

(Are you land locked or no?)

Ralkovia finds all types of communism despicable. As such Ralkovia has cut off all trade with Questille and has alerted several alliance members to Questilles governments position. Ralkovia has also put up on polls the option of blockading Questille indefinitably while it is under the communist government. Should this be agreed upon by alliance members Ralkovia will send troops to Questille to blockade it.

When Marco was informed of the Questille announcement of its new, far-left government, he slammed his newspaper down on the table, spilling his glass of wine across the cloth. With a wide look in his eyes, he shuddered. "Questers has gone red? How did that happen? How is that even possible?!"

The man standing on the other side of the table spoke quickly. "Oh, no, no, no, you misunderstand. Not Questers; Questille. They're entirely different entities."

Marco thought for a moment. He had never heard that particular name before. "Oh," he said. "That's decidedly less interesting." Damn, he thought, he had spilled that wine for nothing and ruined his paper. "So, another pinko nation. Damned ideology, to be sure, but it's not really our concern to destroy communism. Not at the risk of destroying sovereignty, anyway."

The man nodded. "Certainly not. However, intelligence says that the Ralkovians are twitching their antennae again. A threatened blockade until the red regime relinquishes their power, I believe."

"Now that is interesting." Many in the Santherese upper echelon had been longing to do something about their belligerent neighbor across the narrow sea. "Perhaps the Carducci might want to do something about that. Contact them for me, will you? Offer them de Rossi ships, but make it clear that the Republic's forces will not be mobilized. I doubt the Ministry would go to war over such a thing."

He shook his head. The last thing he wanted to do was defend communism but at the same time, if no one else did, then they may as well make use of the opportunity to whittle away at some of the Ralkovian military machine. "Damned roaches," he muttered as he picked up his wine glass and poured in the rest of the bottle. Taking the glass in his hand, he sat back in his chair and sipped at it. Ah, Verdona Ruby, fifty years old -- a good vintage and aged well enough, though perhaps a bit on the sour side of the spectrum. If Ralkovia backed down without a fight, perhaps he would send a couple of bottles to Sienna in thanks for her offering her family's fleet.

At the risk of stealing attention from Questille, the Indian Soviet Commonwealth of Beddgelert suggests that more may be achieved in the anti-Communist cause by a Ralkovian blockade of its international trade, worth a great deal more than that of Questille. The Commonwealth Oceanic Guard may even be kind enough to show the reactionary fleet to prime rusting spots on the seabed close to principle Indian Ocean shipping lanes.

Meanwhile, a minority of interested Igovians waited to hear more Bolshevist nonsense from the Questille lot themselves, and some comrades contemplated the viability of sponsorship of a popular Soviet coup against the confused authority there.

Oh yeah? Well, the Vojvodina-Nihonese government of Surfeit follows a policy of far-left-wing Anarcho-Marxist-Leninist-Maoist-Stalinist-Trotskyist-Hoxhaist (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communism#Hoxhaism)-Titoist-Mutualism. So there!

(OOC: I find it strange that Hoxha is the only one to get a link! Surely he'd have been the last to embrace Wiki! Heh!)

Well, people have heard of most of the others. <.<

(OOC: But who actually knows Adrian Mutu's thoughts on What Is To Be Done? ? [/terrible lefty-joke])

(what? I fell asleep at my computer and literally had a page of letters written in short response. I'll probably do something tomorrow. As for today/in 9 minutes tomorrow my bed calls me like a sweet siren song.)

The LHC National Assembly Parliment NAP has just passed a resolution recognizing the young Communist government and nation of Questille of 7,000,000 people into the international community of nations as well as an aid package described below.

We wish to appoint Ambassador Laureano Rodriguez and his diplomatic and security staff to your nation. You may appoint an ambassador and staff to our nation at the web link below.

At least Fascism doesn't turn your economy into lemonade stands. I don't think you really have an understanding of either ideologies.))

Official Response of the Fascist Federation of the Grand World Order

The Order officially condemns the government of Questille, as it has shown acts that are detrimental to the advancement of the Species of Man. Our nation will be accepting refugees from the inevitable backwater nation that Questille is destined to be, so long as they are willing to accept Fascism into their life.

As for the Ralkovian blockade, GWO forces will not directly be sent until violence has broken out. Until then, we will be assisting with the logistics behind the blockade as well as minor aerial support.

It was to Sierra Carducci that the next reports went to, the Regnant being far too busy a man to spend any more time in this subject. She sat in the main chambers of the Ministry of Defense. The seats of her two colleagues were empty and the only evidence that they had even been around at all was the soft glow from the panels in front of their seats on the bench. Their LCD screens had been left on and their browsers were scripted to continually refresh and save relevant updates from their respective sources of information. Not the most advanced or efficient system, perhaps, but Sanix was a secure, minimalist OS that afforded everything the ministers needed and nothing they didn't.

Sienna's did the same, though she read the reports as they were written into files. She closed the data file that contained updates about Ralkovia and reopened it to see updates from the last five minutes. The green text on black was easier on her eyes than the typical black-on-white; she could read it without putting her glasses back on.

Well, that was even more interesting. She wondered for a second why anyone would think that these crimes were not firm acts of war. If anyone blockaded Santheres, neither she nor her colleagues would argue that they were being invaded, even if no soldier ever touched their soil and no ship approached their harbors. Maybe that was just them, though. There was also to be taken into consideration that the leaders of countries such as these were clearly without logical reasoning capacity.

"And there's our confirmation," she whispered to herself. Her words had a slight echo to them in the dark, empty court. "Let's just see if any of the other Houses want to play. Maybe these roaches won't scurry at the first sign of light."

Oddly, the lights switched on that moment and Nicolo Giarelli strode down the aisle. "Sierra, my dear." He smiled at her and took a seat before the bench, where defendants in a court martial would sit before the tribunal. "Have you slept at all in the past week?"

"Not a wink, Nicolo. Would you like your name placed on this message I'm sending to the Ralkovians? Marco gave me carte blanche on the Ralkovian affair."

"Mm, why not? Don't forget to say something about sovereignty being sacred. Ah, and don't forget to mention that communism is no better."

Sienna nodded and typed for a moment. Then she hit send and didn't give it a second thought.

From: House Carducci

Though we might under better circumstances applaud a war against communism, we cannot as conscientious, rational, and honorable people abide the unjustified war that your nation is seeing fit to begin. Santheres therefore respectfully demands that you retract all threats against the Questille state and that all ships currently bound for said nation turn back immediately. Carducci assets, allied with those of several other Great Houses of Santheres are prepared to meet your unlawful blockade. Though Santheres itself has not decided to act on this, we vow that we are more than prepared to stand against your criminal violation of the sanctity of national sovereignty.

There is no negotiation to be had. You would note that the undersigned comprise two-thirds of those necessary for our nation enter a state of war. We hope to see this resolved short of such escalation.

Pax tibi,
Duchessa Sienna Carducci

Having all of those commie types together makes no sense.

(OOC: Okay, honestly? No one cares. It has no importance whatsoever -- all you need to know is that he's obviously a commie. Let him do whatever the hell he wants, and call it whatever he wants. It's his nation.)

I will now accept Fascism. Now, we're Mussolinist!

OOC: Dude, seriously? If you actually RP, that would be a whole lot better. You realize I'm going to be sending troops to defend you? GWO wouldn't touch your soil, at least not for long, and Ralkovia's blockade wouldn't hold up for long, either.

This isn't an OOC thread.

OOC: Apparently it is, since that's all you're doing. I think I'm going to both call troll (Over-exaggerate much? Never!) and it a day, now. Can't believe I put effort into those posts.

Ralkovia will continue with the blockade until Questille is finally a fascist sta- We will see to your demands. All ships have been sent back.

[ A victory for the New Socialist Man. ]

The Confederacy has followed the Laissez-faire Socialist Free Market Anarcho-Eugenicist model with success, despite protests against the IQ tests given to would-be immigrants, draconian and vigilante-ish anti-crime policies, endorsement of abortion of mentally handicapped babies, overall disregard to vegetarian pro gun control hippies, among other "ethically questionable" things. Just as Questille seems to have mastered the art of triplethink, for even doublethink is not sufficiently self-contradictory for their achievement.
