Barracks SocialismThe Nameless Party paramilitary, now recast as the People’s Army, has taken over the functions of military, police and state administration in Saridan. It is an efficient hierarchical system of government with many layers of command, and where, it goes without saying, Commander Carl himself always has the final word on everything.
Even the economy is organized according to this militaryesque model. Market mechanisms are nearly absent, replaced by a command economy. Property rights in the usual sense do not exist, only temporary possession as granted by the state. Most goods are strictly rationed, but there are still some shops.
A typical Saridani neighbourhood. All Saridans live in collective
housing structures, together with their coworkers or classmates.By decree from our great leader, every man, woman and child must have access to the necessities of life, to health care, and opportunities for recreation, from the cradle to the grave. Every man, woman and child are in return required to serve the state, whether it be in the form of factory labor, schooling, military service, or something else.
It is important to understand that the social and health benefits in Saridan are for the benefit of the collective only. Individuals predicted to be a net drain on society, or to slow down the advancement of the nation, are given help to painlessly end their miserable lives.
Poverty and unemployment do not exist,
can not exist in the Saridani socio-economic system.
This is the only way to realize the comradeship we seek.
By this model of organizing society, our nation is rapidly recovering from the damage caused during the revolutionary war, rebuilding infrastructure, providing housing for everyone, increasing industrial and agricultural output, and finally: strengthening our military forces for the coming struggles.
A Saridani military plane is being assembled.
