Region: The Confederacy of Free Nations
Oh, wonderful. Always great to see another leftist here, but I have a question for you. Do you believe in the voluntary dissemination of leftist ideals, and the defense of other leftist nations against the liberal Xiongnu?
We must bad together brother! Join into our MT RP and well conquer them all
Grab a PP-19 and join the rest of us :P
Russkov Soviet
I dunno... You guys seem awfully revisionist.
Love you already
Penguania And Antarctica, Truace
Speaking of weaponry.....
Our citizens (all being Red Army) will have a:
Sidearm: Makarov/Colt 1911/Desert Eagle/9mm
Main: AKM/AK-47/PPSH-41/Mosin-Nagant 91/SVT-40/RPK
This allows for a rapid mobilization of reinforcements and/or a "national guard".
I, myself, have multiple guns in storage out of state. Only a few are at the house with me.
We the Chinese are, but we don't really care what you are so long as you're leftist.
Imagine how far along things would be if the left different fight amongst itself in the past.
Well, I think social leftism is very destructive. I'm not a social liberal. I support economic leftism and strong government control.
I guess the phrase "Live long and Prosper" doesn't apply to your people

*America* My nukes would like to meet you I'm sure they will change your mind
The United Providences Of Perland
There very Persuasive ;)
Stuff is heating up towards Somalia in the RP
Andromitus, The United Providences Of Perland, United Continental States
Nyet. I am not afraid of silly little capitalist nuke. And unlike Americans, I do not start wars...nor do I go in without due cause. They attacked me first...so I finish job. And you will not stand in my way.
Yeah, but it'd be the WRONG kind of leftism!
So you're... Fiscally leftist but socially conservative? That's unusual.
Truace
Indeed. I used to be the opposite, fiscally right and socially liberal. Not anymore though.
That's all I'm really interested in. If you're an economic leftist and agree to defend your fellow leftists, you and my leader will get along swimmingly.
Truace
The PLR shall be creating a global economic/trading organization kinda like WTO and IMF but will be obviously different. If you are interested in starting up this global organization, then please send me a telegram so that we can begin constructing the Charter. It will be headquartered in my Economic City of Doma if you were wondering.
Nope. No such a thing. If it's leftist and the people aren't fighting against it, there's nothing wrong with it.

Sorry there was such a break in my posts! I hope I'll be more frequent now one. This one mostly concerns Andromitus and Vista Major
Vista Major, Andromitus
Why did you switch?
Your ambassador. I was too lazy to go search for the original posts to qoute, sorry.

Wow, no Biden Buddies? I am disappoint in you, COFN

Hides in my Anarcho-Hoxhaist bunker
I'm debating between Cruz and Johnson
Stalin 2020
oh hello Axeldonia
...dont be afraid
I'm trying to find a concrete definition of that ideology, can you help me understand what it is?
💩
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm just in it for the bunkers. As I understand it Hoxhaism is Marxism-Leninism which doesn't like Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union?
Jaslandia
You rejected the rest of the left, so it's not like I have pity for you in your bunker mate :P
Great to hear!
I noticed how our society was, and learned about things that were going on in the world that most people don't really know about, and now I see that we can't continue with social liberalism and we need to heavily scale it back. And our government has become so infested with corruption that only authoritarianism can root it out.
I was totally there for you, but then I saw Johnson was included.
Garry Johnson, but still.
Jaslandia
Hey. I'm okay with almost all leftists, but I'm not gonna be all cheeky with these social conservatives.
Andromitus
What's your view on us Ædenists?
Right...
Truace
I'm feeling the burn.
The Royal Republic Of Kumania, Jaslandia, Andromitus
Those candidates are so dissimilar, though. That's like saying you can't decide between spaghetti or steel shavings for dinner.
Also, Ted Cruz was Canada's greatest export. For the sole and singular reason that this meant that he would never become involved in Canadian politics.
Jaslandia, Truace
Hey, as long as you let gays destroy the family and Trans people worship satan, you're fine with me.
There are almost no laws limiting what a person can do and as long as you don't try to indoctrinate others into doing it :D
Jaslandia, Axeldonia
Y'all are lucky that you don't have to sit and realize a good portion of what Cruz says makes the us Texans look bad.
Jaslandia
I like them both for different reasons
Want to know a secret? Besides Donald Trump, every single Republican candidate who ran was secretly exactly the same.
Gary Johnson is not republican
Would anyone like to do an RP of a journalist from your country come to Chertkovo to interview my President? Kinda like what the show 60 minutes would do or like BBC
Russkov Soviet
Oh, Garry "What's Aleppo?" Johnson? Gotta love that guy!
Jaslandia, Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth
He's Libertarian, which is better!
Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth
And let's not forget when he was asked which current world leader he admired, and he drew an catastrophic blank.
Which, to be fair, as a libertarian these are slim pickings. Wade's "Angela Merkel" was probably as reasonable answer as one could come up with. But Johnson's total inability to answer was not that pretty. He could have at least made a case for none of tje above, but he waffled.
Jaslandia, Yukona, Neo-Icelandic Commonwealth
All I remember 100% from the election, was that I didn't like either Trump or Clinton.
United Continental States
So...your civies have access to an old Russian pistol firing a 9x18mm cartridge, an old American pistol firing .45 Auto, an Israeli pistol firing -arguably the worst cartridge- .50AE r a ubiquitous pistol firing a 9x19mm round. They also have access to a 1950s rifle and a worse -objectively- rifle from 1947 (I imagine that it's the first generation of AK47) as well as a PPSH that uses an entirely different round from the former two or the pistols. They also have access to a bolt action rifle, a semi-automatic rifle and another 1950s SAW.
You do want you want to, dood, but supply lines aren't gonna be happy if they have to lug four different pistol rounds and four different rifle rounds. Rather, I suggest saying your citizens practice or keep those weapons for private enjoyment, but have a state given assault rifle that they must qualify on and practice with semi-often. This will also help with national guard scenarios since the man with the Bolt Action will ditch said bolt action at the first sign of a rifle and getting bullets to said national militia during war would encourage having less than eight different rounds -with one being extremely similar to another)
Russkov Soviet
Because of the poll I must say this #bernie2020 viva la revolucion!
The United Providences Of Perland
We are currently working on a overhaul as we speak.
So I got my Vexing VAT issue in Tangshan. Because of its free market stance, I abolished VAT.
Doing that increased taxes. WTF?!
Also, the poll is too US-centric.
Jaslandia
My top 5 candidates from 2016
1) Bernie
2) John Kasich
3) Rand Paul
4) Marco Rubio
5) Hillary Clinton
Jaslandia, Kalaron, Solla Ultima
For a while, I was with Jill Stein. Still kinda am. But beyond the idealistic view, she would have made a bad president if you were to ask me now.
Kalaron
speaking of that next poll should be form what continent you are from
Nuremgard
Wifi fries kids brains.
"Nuclear power plants = weapons of mass destruction waiting to be detonated."
Jaslandia
I mean, that's kinda the point of this poll. It's a poll asking people which presidential candidate in our election they preferred the most. Odds are the choices for an American election will be Americans (except for Ted Cruz/The Zodiac Killer). I don't understand what reason anyone would have over there being American choices for a topic about America.
And to be fair, American politics is rarely talked about on the RMB these days. I honestly see your rants about Scottish independence (which I agree Scotland should be independent) and how the British government is Satan much more than anything else when it comes to politics on here. It's ok to change things up here once in a while mate.
Jaslandia, United Continental States
"We can fix education the same way we fixed Banks during the recession"
Talk more about American politics on the RMB then.
If it'll stop the endless conversations about Scotland, happily.

Sorry if talking about it offends your delicate sensibilities.

Sorry about that bit of craziness last night. Henry told me and Sir Topham Hatt all about it, and we had the coal bin near Killdane emptied out and replaced with fresh coal. The 'crazy coal' (as Henry called it) has been sent to the University of Tidmouth, so the researchers there can determine what it's made of and where it came from. Everything is now running smoothly, and besides Murdoch acting slightly more 'hippie-ish' than before, everything is back to normal here on Percyton.
Thomas: Percy! Go get Rocky! Rosie came off the rails and crashed into a pig sty near McColl's Farm!
Percy: Like I said, normal.

Tbh I prefer Nurem rants because Nurem rants are kinda funny.
American political rants are just kinda annoying IMO.
Nuremgard, The Royal Republic Of Kumania, Jaslandia
No, it just gives me more chances to suppress your posts when you get riled up.
I'm flattered.
Happy to be the authoritarian itch you love to scratch.
Kalaron, Yukona, United Continental States
Hello fellow nations.
Could we possibly do a poll about Australia.
And if so how would one do that.
Sincerely a new nation.
Viva la confederation
Andromitus, Yukona, Percyton
If a bit of coal get things that crazy.....jeez.
I almost fear how our "Liberty Week" will look compared to that. (I can't even begin to describe this drug and sex fueled music festival that shuts down Stalliongrad COMPLETELY every year)
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton, James The Red Engine
Interesting. I can't say Percyton has anything like that. The closest thing we have is an annual EDM festival near Kellsthorpe. It can get very crazy, and I've heard a lot of reports about 'Molly' being there; I never really understood that, though, since Molly works on the Kirk Ronan Branch Line, and she said she's never been to the festival. Different Molly, maybe?
Russkov Soviet, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Magnatronia, James The Red Engine
Hmmm.... 'Molly' you say? I'll have to send a navy ship over there. A drug smuggling ring may have expanded internationally....
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
That festival might not be there for much longer. Word on the tracks is that some of the townspeople are planning a lawsuit against the festival organizers, citing noise levels and an epidemic of 'impaired' festival-goers stumbling into local restaurants and pubs and bothering the other customers. Depending on how far this lawsuit goes, the organizers may move the festival to Brendam, which they hope will be slightly more accepting.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Oh, do hush, Nurem dear. You know how those Yanks do so hate to have the spotlight on something other than them.
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Welcome to the region, Silsalia! I'm Percy, King of Percyton and the #6 green engine on the Island of Sodor. I hope you like it here!
That seems a little extreme, but you're a good friend, so I'll trust you on this one. I'll tell the Dock Manager at Brendam Docks to expect your ship, and I'll pass on your warning about 'drug smuggling rings' to the local police departments on Sodor.
Really? Well, I guess it's not too surprising. The people of these small towns like Kellsthorpe tend to be more reserved and quiet types, so it makes sense they wouldn't like all the craziness and loudness that the EDM festival brings. Living near busy Brendam Docks, the people of Brendam might be more tolerant of this kind of stuff.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
It does seem extreme, doesn't it? Due to the three front lines we are fighting on, travel across the sea is a dire risk. All ships bearing the Equestrian standard, regardless of affiliation with civilian or military, are and have been targets. So, as a safety precaution, we are sending the investigators on a Zukov-Class Cruiser. It's big enough to deter a attack, but small enough to not cause due alarm.
And on another note, the Equestrian Empire sends its regards and thanks you for trusting us in this time of conflict. We promise to take the necessary steps and precautions to ensure the safety of your people and engines. Let us know if you need anything.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Okay then. We'll help you out however we can, and if you're going to do any operations in Percyton, I suggest you talk to James; he is Minister of Justice (which includes the Percytonian Drug Enforcement Bureau), so you can coordinate with him and his ministry.
