Editorial: KLM 'government of ghosts' an utter failureKundratek Albisteakath DeginAugust 3601
Comrade Luken Zuñiga, Praeses of Kundrati, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Kundrati
Comrades! A great injustice has occurred and your government has failed to address it! Your government has failed to protect a citizen of Kundrati from foreign prejudice!
The Kundrati Liberty Movement
put itself into government long ago when it faced no relevant opposition on the national level. The KLM has maintained this monopoly on power in the Kundrati Union for many years unopposed: every seat in the cabinet is comprised of the same members that took those seats in 3544!
Fifty seven years in power! And yet we have heard seldom a word from them in all this time! No press releases, no public appearances! I can attest to the fact that even I, Head of State to this most grand nation, have yet to speak to one member of our so-called government, despite my attempts to contact someone - anyone - from the KLM. So we must ask: where is our government? Do they even exist? Did they ever? It is a government of ghosts! It is Kundrati's best kept secret, and it is a mystery that cannot be allowed to remain shrouded.
For all of these decades this abominable misgovernment has gone unnoticed, and as horrible as that fact may be, it is hardly surprising to those of us who pay close attention to the state of Kundrati. Our state is an exemplar of the horrors of laissez-faire economic philosophy run amok. The sweat of our laborers was sold many years ago to the highest bidder, and the Kundrati citizen was left with nothing: no minimum wage to ensure that work is rewarded, and waves of Ibutho immigrants were imported to supply cheap labor and drive down prices artificially; no healthcare system provided except for to those able to afford the ransoms extolled by Kundrati's corporatized hospitals; prisons and schools run for profit with similar results for the victims of each system: utter moral and educational depravity; banks refusing to lend capital except on the most punitive terms. It is hardly surprising that Kundrati's citizenry didn't notice the ghosts that ran their nation: to them, it appeared that no one was running it at all!
But now there is an alternative to the phantasmal KLM. Now there are the Communists. We have awoken masses to their suffering and we are taking this nation by storm. There is certainly much work to be done in Kundrati, and the Communist Party will take that work upon itself. My own election to the nation's highest position has laid upon me the responsibility to point out the failures of the KLM's government as I mentioned above, and I will illustrate this failure through one specific incident in which the government has failed yet again: I am, of course, referring to the [urlhttp://forum.particracy.net/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=2572&start=50#p69912]Kundrati man accused of 'witchcraft'[/url] in the Ibutho Nation.
The Ibutho Nation is one of backwardness and superstition, even more deprived of progress than is Kundrati. None of Artania's powers know how to deal with the Ibutho Nation, and Kundrati has for years interacted with it only as a source of remarkably cheap human capital. For this there is much resentment against the Ibutho in Kundrati, where Ibutho workers displaced many Kundrati natives in the KLM's beloved 'free marketplace.' And now a Kundrati man, Josu Azarol, is accused of
witchcraft for using what, to all modern eyes is clearly electricity. He now is sent to the notorious Ibutho Chief Mlungisi to "face punishment for his foul deeds."
And he faces Chief Mlungisi alone.
The Kundrati government will take no action. It has not for fifty seven years. It is comprised of nothingness, of phantoms and lies. And the Kundrati government will not allow itself to be replaced. Fittingly, the KLM did not oppose the
Communist Party's attempt to enter government bilaterally, it simply quietly abstained, dooming the proposed government to failure.
I ask you openly, Chief Mlungisi, pardon Josu Azarol. Allow Kundrati's stirring proletariat to awaken a similar consciousness in your nation. Azarol's attempt to endow your nation with the comforts of modernity is only the tip of the potentiality that exists for Kundrati-Ibutho relations, if only we are allowed to interact civilly. Do not condemn Josu Azarol to punishment. Welcome modernity with open arms, and Kundrati's citizens will work with you.
We are left with two hopes now in Kundrati. The first hope is that the awakening lower class will continues its ascent into consciousness and remove the KLM from government by legal means. I am hopeful that this is the case. The second hope is that should the KLM not be removed from power in the next election, and should the phantom government continue to sit, a revolution must be undertaken and the KLM forcibly removed.
Just a bunch of shit.
