Ye, what other comrades said. Iron Man is all capitalist propaganda and the later two films focus on him putting down people who are angry that they were oppressed and exploited. Captain America is obviously Americanist war propaganda, since that's what the original comic was. Also, the Pentagon provides most of the movie industry with "props" and instructions in exchange for being able to proof-read the scripts and remove anti-military and anti-war messages.

Sorry for the tangent, but I tend to think of socialist countries in this game as being transitional states rather than examples of late-stage Communism. Even putting aside things that can be easily RP'd away like the existence of money, states/borders, etc. the fact that we exist alongside and are probably outnumbered by so many Capitalist and Feudal societies makes me feel like the leader of a permanent revolution as opposed to creating an ideal world.

I agree with you. According to Marx, Communism is the last stage of socioeconomic developement that allows wealth distribution based on need and social relations based on a stateless system, while a Socialist state is a form of state in which the Communist party holds power in the context of the dictatorship of the proletariat, which is the transitional phase that precedes Communist society.
"Communist state" is a Western concept referring to a state governed by a party that professes a variant of Marxism-Leninism.

I kind of like a few superheroes. Spiderman is more or less a nostalgia thingy for me, the x-men are interesting and i vibe with pretty much any magic users.

Opinions on opinions?

Ubertas wrote:"left wing" philosophical Youtube is generally bad and filled with chauvinists and opportunists masking as leftists so I wouldn't necessarily use them as the best source.

There are far too many social fascists on Youtube masquerading as "leftists" but will take the opportunity to attack actual revolutionaries or leftists states at a moment's notice.

Friendly reminder for everyone here to read Lenin's Socialism and War.

I made a replacemet to Freedom Of Association. This dispatch contains the draft to repeal GA#550 and the draft to replace GA#550.

The Brezzian WA delegation submitted to GA a proposal to repeal GA#550 "Freedom of association".

Repeal GA#550 "Freedom of association"

Recognizing GA#550's attempt to secure freedom of association and its will to extend the implementation of its provisions as much as possible,

Noting that GA#550 clause 1, which forces governments to "allow citizens to associate with any organization of their choosing", does not allow Member Nations to prevent public officials, members of public administration, members of law enforcement and the armed forces, and the judiciary to join associations whose membership could lead to a conflict of interest for them,

Observing that GA#550 clause 1(a), which fully delegates the application of the right to freedom of association to organizations, ​does not allow democratic Nations to prevent the application of

  1. discriminatory criteria based on sex, ethnicity, language, religion, personal and social conditions in the selection of the members, even if these criteria are not justified by the aims of the association (e.g., sports, cultural or religious associations), and

  2. external interference and co-optative and undemocratic methods in the selection of the members of political organizations and workers' associations,

Highlighting that GA#550 clause 1(b), which vaguely mentions "national security", "national criminal law", and "commission of crimes", could be used by corrupt governments to justify

  1. the declaration of any political and non-political association that aims to improve the living conditions of the general population (e.g., associations for freedom of speech, for the rights of minorities) as an organization "involved in the commission of a crime", even if the association does not seek to subvert the established order (e.g. by preparing a revolution or carrying out acts of guerrilla or terrorism), and

  2. the declaration of any military and paramilitary associations that act to maintain the established order as an organization "not involved in the commission of a crime", even if this maintenance deliberately worsens the living conditions of the general population (e.g., through repression of dissidents, state terrorism and genocide of minorities),

Concerned that GA#550, even opposing the imposition of criminal penalties for affiliating with an organisation not involved in the commission of a crime, does not explicitly prohibit the prosecution of members who have not been directly or indirectly involved in the illegal activities of their own association,

The General Assembly repeals GA#550 "Freedom of association".

Following requests from some Ambassadors, the Brezzian WA delegation also submitted a draft to replace GA#550 "Freedom of association". This proposal tries to cover GA#550's flaws:

  • clause 3 introduces the criteria to identify dangerous associations that must be prohibited and clause 6 encourages international cooperation to do so, while GA#550 leaves single nations to decide "what's good and what's bad",

  • clause 4 allows the imposition of monetary penalties on associations and prohibits the prosecution of members not involved the illegal activities of their association, while GA#550 allows the "incarceration of an association", possibly including innocent members;

  • clause 5 allows the prevention of conflicts of interest, while GA#550 grants organization to select their members in ALL, even if that leads to conflict of interest or discrimination.

However, our priority is the repeal of GA#550 than its replacement.

"General rules for Associations"

The General Assembly,

Distinguishing the association from the assembly in that the former has a stable and lasting organization, a permanent bond between the members, a common purpose to pursue (which can be political, religious, cultural, recreational, etc.),

  1. Mandates that Member Nations guarantee freedom of association to their citizens and residents, recognizing it as

    1. the freedom to form an association,

    2. the freedom to join or not to join an association, and

    3. the freedom to withdraw from an association at any time;

  2. Decrees that Member Nations may not prosecute individuals for sole participation or non-participation in an association;

  3. Requires that Member Nations prohibit associations that promote or pursue:

    1. the non-recognition of civil and political rights on the basis of distinctions of sex, ethnicity, language, religion, political opinions, personal and social conditions,

    2. the infliction of physical and psychological harm among their members or towards non-members,

    3. the perpetration of illegal transportation of objects, substances, information, animals or people for profit, or

    4. the implementation of political aims through actions of a military or terrorist nature;

  4. Clarifies that the provisions of clause 3 do not prohibit the imposition of monetary penalties on associations that violate local laws, and do not allow the prosecution of members if they have not been directly or indirectly involved in the illegal activities of their own association and if the denunciation of these activities could cause real dangers to the individual and his affections;

  5. Allows Member Nations to prevent the participation of public officials, members of public administration, members of law enforcement and the armed forces, and the judiciary in associations where this may give rise to conflicts of interest;

  6. Encourages Member Nations to cooperate in identifying the associations referred to in clause 3.
