I wish they were on our side, I really do. But in reality most "an"coms are either criminal thugs or statist hypocrites that care more about getting rid of the patriarchy than killing the state.

I am the very model of a Libertatem President

The more mature ones actually understand the ideology, but a lot of Anarcho-Communists don't.

Shermaniya wrote:It's either RLP or Non-partisan.

That's totally fine. What that means is that your race will be a primary. A primary is something that we haven't done in quite awhile. How it works:

- The party leader decides if it is open or close

- Open means everyone votes

- Closed means that only approved members of that party vote

- Votes are sent to the party leader regardless

- Winner is announced and becomes the "[party name] Nominee", if no one else was in the race, he automatically wins the general as an unopposed candidate

- They are very fun and the RLP can boast that they are the only party big enough to ever have to do that.

See Anarcho-Communists could technically survive in an Anarcho-Capitalist Society. They would have plenty of supporters, but they need to be voluntary supporters. An Anarcho-Communist society can't survive without being completely voluntary.

End of An Era

Humpheria, 18th December 2014

December 18th marked the end of an era. Fourteen months of a Reaganist Presidency. Starting with Pevvania taking the position from President Snabagag, moving to the landslide election of President Humpheria and his resignation short thereafter, to the inauguration of his Vice President Miencraft, the Reaganist Libertarian Party has been a staple of Libertatem for a very long time.

Now, as an Anti-Corporatist takes the office after running on a "whim" and taking up a popular issue, many are left wondering, what's next for the RLP?

Well, I sat down with the Reaganist Libertarian Party Political Director, Humpheria.

"Well, ya know, it would be easy to assume that not that one of our close political allies from an allied party has taken the office that we will just shrivel up and die. many are even calling it an end of an era. This is false. Starting in January, we are going to have four out of five members of the President's cabinet in the RLP, in December, we had a 4-1 super majority on the Board. Starting in January, we are proud to say that we will try out the role of the opposition party for once. We have been preparing a platform shake-up for months, we will begin the process of conducting closed primaries, we will start a progressive recruitment campaign and we will be staging public policy debates."

When asked about his thoughts on the election, he replied:

"I am saddened, to say the least. I have worked with President Miencraft since before there was an elected Board, and he has always been my right hand man. Nobody likes to lose, but it stings worse when the punch comes from behind. Conservative Idealism has always been a great guy and I am glad to call him a friend, but I will never be able to reconcile his election with him. I will continue to work with him, but there will always be that elephant now."

Following some comments made by the Political Director immediately following the election's conclusion, I inquired about the April Presidential Elections:

"Oh yeah, we're coming in force to the April gathering. We, as an opposition party, will have an advantage that got Conservative Idealism into power, we won't be the incumbent. I don't know who will be our guy yet, we will hold a convention to ensure that our absolute best goes up, we're going to come out of the gate swinging. It will be an election to remember if we have anything to say about it."

The President-Elect Conservative Idealism, leader of the Anti-Corporatists, had this to say:

"I'm pleased to see how far the Reaganist Libertarian Party has come. I remember the day when I agreed to merge a political party I had created with Pevvania's - were someone from the future to tell me, on that day, that the RLP would become the uncontested majority party for a whole 14 months, I never would have believed it. I hope that the Anti-Corporatist Party will reach a similar level of prominence during my Presidency and be a worthy rival to the region's paragon of tradition and freedom."

Where does the Reaganist Libertarian Party and the region move from here? Time will only tell.

Holy frug,

Libertatem has become a two party state...

Considering ACOP overtook the RLP in terms of the number of Board positions filled during early October, it wasn't all that surprising. I just didn't think it would happen under these circumstances.

It was an unlikely event, true, but I trust that the recent election will have renewed the people's interest in ACOP.

To be honest, I considered it.

Hey all,

I had surgery today and I'm basically incapacitated. I'm on some pretty heavy medication and it's rendered me inoperable. I'm lucky enough that right now I'm in a lull between dosages and can type this out. I should be back in a few days. Thanks for understanding.

See you soon,

No, it's well written, I like it. And after all, anybody knows that libertarians are often affected by Schizophrenia.

Ciao.

By my estimation, there are currently three contested seats.

Seat 1: Yrellian Confederacy v Pevvania

Seat 2: Humpheria v Funkytopia

Seat 3: Actum

Seat 4: Right-winged nation ? v Shermaniya

Seat 5: The Neo-Confederate States of America ?

RWN and NCSA, are you guys seeking re-election?

Why elect President Pev to Board Seat 1?

+The best resume in the region. Two-term Manager of Military Affairs and three-term President. Re-elected in a 100% landslide, and then re-elected again with 87% of the vote. Created the modern political system, fought the commies, put the region back on the map, brought us the second-largest population expansion in history, etc.

+Good ideas and pragmatism. I will work with both the Chairman of the Board and President Idealism to make our region better. However, I WILL NOT support a piece of legislation that in any way violates the Constitution or erodes freedom without any other benefits.

+Accountability. I will stick to my principles at all times, but will also listen to my constituents to strengthen popular participation and give the people of the region a voice.

My opponent wishes to dismantle the part of our Constitution that literally created this region. To this, I say no. We will defend our region, our people and our Constitution until every last Bolshevik in the game is vanquished forever!

Seat 4 Debate:

Hello my fellow citizens. As a new citizen of this great region, this is my first time in a calm region not directly at conflict. Since January 7th, 2013, I have worked with great people in many regions, achieving the rank of Internal Affairs Director, Foreign Affairs Director, Immigration Director, Defense Director, Founder and WA Delegate, with many of those positions having served two or more terms. Earlier this year, I waged a war against Communal Earth and the occupied UCR, a force much bigger than my region (Chernobyl Union). After over a month of raids and conflict, as well as having my previous nation deleted, we were sucessful in restoring peace to the UCR. For regional security purposes, the CU and UCR merged during the summer to what is now Anti Authoritarian Alliance. With that, I infiltrated Das Kommune with a puppet (something I will not disclose, sorry Abdul) and successfully convinced Godless Munky and Communal Earth (Stalinists) to leave, making the region less authoritarian. I supporte the Pev administration and served as a spy for Libertatem while residing in the communist UCR. Today, I am a veteran Nationstater who understands politics and history, and specializes in constitutions and other legal documents. I am an unbiased person who is prepared to uphold the responsibility and privlidge of serving in Libertatem's legislature. Thank You.

Sincerely,

Aleksadr Groznoj

Show me.

Why should you keep Yrellian Confederacy in place ?

1. My first term in the board was motivated only by the lack of running candidates, I saw it as a way to serve the region that I joined more than a year ago and I'm not attracted by power or politic in general.

2. After the beginning of my second term, uncontested, I realized that this region needed a new voice and a new breath, as the RLP came back in force in business, and I decided to try to embody that need.

That it the spirit of the political program of the RRP, a party cofounded by Actum and me, holding values of peace, cooperation, independence from supra-national organizations like the WA, dialog between ideologies instead of endless fight.

3. I like bacon.

4. The RLP's errors cost us a long-time alliance with TCB, people who fought with us against authoritarian commies invaders.

5. My opponent motivations for his comeback seem to be revenge, as he decided to run for the first time since he left presidency, probably because the RLP has been defeated during the recent presidential elections.

Moreover, his opposition against the repeal of article 8 are only motivated by the love that he has for a gone past.

But times change, many people are now very skeptical on the war on communism, and the conservatives, obsessed by a glorious past, don't want to see it despite their historical defeat few hours ago, it's time to send them a new message !

Support change, vote YC for seat 1.
