Members of Krasnyy Narodnyy Soyuz at the Dobrii Utra

KRASNYY NARODNYY SOYUZ, NEW PARTY IN ELECTION

A new party was formed in Traktorgrad , Federal Republic of Brakav, immediately before the December 4788 election by some regional bureaucrats, minor judicial functionaries, untenured academics, lesser clergy and, the members insisted, at least two farmers. The timing was so bad that the leadership thought it was brain dead and met at the home of Karl Kollowrath in the Hulstrian sector to consider disbanding in utter humiliation.

In a complete surprise, on another island entirely from Traktorgrad, the new Krasnyy Narodnyy Soyuz carried 35 seats giving this new party 14 % of the Central Committee seats. Although uncertain whether they were entitled to actually participate in the government because of the new constitution, the leadership proceeded to the Dobrii Utra drinking establishment where they celebrated until dawn. Party leader Pavel Borosdin thanked the owner of the Dobruii Utra for her graciousness.

KRASNYY NARODNYY SOYUZ LEADER VISITS DELEGATION

Pavel Dmitryevich Borosdin, Party Secretary of the newly formed Krasnyy Narodnyy Soyuz (KNS), traveled to Podolsk in the Federated Socialist Republic of Lesnos where KNS had won 35 seats in recent elections to greet the newly elected delegation to the Central Committee. When asked why there was a KNS at all, Borosdin responded:

Certainly a fair question. Why is not one party enough? One may well ultimately be enough. Krasnyy Narodnyy Soyuz does not oppose the new constitution. We consider ourselves Metzists and even support the theses of Martov Palovich. With that said and within those parameters we do have some viewpoints we want to be heard and considered as the Metzist vision unfolds which are somewhat different from the classic Metzist ideal and the Martov Pavlovich theses.

First, the Metzist vision is really based on a world revolution. There is no world revolution. Instead we are embarked once again on socialism in one country. And none too soon. Accordingly, we believe there are some practical steps we should certainly consider. One of these we believe is allowing the people of Federativnyye Sotsialisticheskiye Respubliki Triguniya to practice their religion and hold their religious beliefs as long as they otherwise support the unfolding of the Metzist vision. This is not to voice approval for religious politicians to stir up hatred and opposition to the new constitution. Not at all.

Second, KNS believes, and this frankly comrades is our core belief, that the benefits of socialism we all want will not materialize merely from nationalizing key industries or even the entire economy but that extremely talented and committed management of the economy and the government must be undertaken including wise use of the resources and the revenues available. I do not speak merely of ideological certainty - one can be good and still be incapable - but of talent and commitment to use that talent for the benefit of the people. The Metzist view was in any event that socialism is an interim stage looking to something better.

Third, since we are embarking on socialism in one country we know we must be in a position to defend ourselves. We also will have more freedom to make the Metzist vision work if we are not constantly embroiled in disputes with other nations. Accordingly, some alliances may well make sense. We do not have the international experience that the ruling party has to know with whom we should be making alliances. We do suggest however that one criteria should be how a regime treats its own people. Another is how honorably it has behaved with other nations. This is probably our greatest difference with the Martov Pavlovich theses; however we give great deference to the views on this matter to the ruling party which has experience while we have only theory at this point.

Thank you all. Show the world how it ought to be.

Central Committee Member Eudoxia Kuryagin

ORGANIZING BEGINS IN SPASK

Eudoxia Kuryagina, Central Committee Member for the Federated Republic of Lesnos, met with Krasnyy Narodnyy Soyuz (KNS) supporters in Spask in the neighboring Federated Republic of Vrosnok to form a party cell. After completing the organizational arrangements, Kuryagina made a brief statement:

Frankly comrades, we need to proceed with preparing for the next election under the assumption the last one was a fluke and we will be swept away in the next round unless we change the dynamics. We need to organize throughout all three islands and this cell is an important step in that direction. KNS believes in local responsibility for carrying forward the revolutionary Metzian vision and local power to do just that. Now is the time to prepare; canvass, knock on doors, distribute flyers, hold meetings and build support. Vigilance, comrades, vigilance.

AGRICULTURE FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

Krasnyy Narodnyy Soyuz (KNS) Party Secretary P.D. Borosdin moderated a seminar at Brakav State University on the future of Trigunian Agriculture. The panel also included Professor Dmitri Pavlovich Vrysenko of Lesnov State University, best known for his genetic theory that genes acquire inheritable traits from their environment, and Dr. Boris Alexyevich Smerdyakhov of the Hedge Fund Institute.

Professor Vrysenko proposed that the unused grasslands on the island of Chadonia and the virgin lands in northern Chadonia and the island of Itasarii be planted in wheat to support the nutrition of our people and our exports while our entire existing lands farmed in wheat be converted to corn production. The Professor strongly believed this entirely new crop would provide for additional food for the population and also vast quantities of domestic animal feed and alternative fuels for domestic use and exports. Dr. Smerdyakhov said of this proposal:

In the only known similar attempt, frankly comrades, the product was not corn but water.


Dr. Smerdyakhov for his part proposed that instead of individual farms spread out over a large area or farming villages with surrounding farm land, the government should build agrogorods or farm cities where the amenities of the cities could be enjoyed including cinemas, shops, parks, sports, schools, restaurants and zoos. The farmers could go out collectively and each day cultivate or harvest portions of the surrounding land; this he believed would be a great improvement to the quality of life for the working class. Professor Vrysenko said of this proposal:

The only time this was tried the families enjoyed the amenities while the farmers spent the evenings pitching tents and camping far from home.


Although pledging at the seminar that the KNS would examine these ideas, Party Secretary Borosdin is not believed to favor their inclusion in the KNS agenda.

KNS party Secretary with reporters in Borisoslav

ARMS INDUSTRY BRINGING IN A LOT

At a party conference in Borisoslav on the island of Chadonia, Krasnyy Narodnyy Soyuz (KNS) considered the impact of the recent arms sales on its agenda. According to Party Secretary P.D. Borosdin, all present agreed that existing contracts should be honored. Borosdin indicated there was broad agreement that the income from recent arms and development service sales should be used first to fund the health care, child welfare, and minimum income responsibilities of the government which is to say that KNS advocates first bringing the Metzian vision of benefits to the citizenry rather than emphasizing nationalizing for the sake of nationalizing.

Trigunia had sold 70 to 80 of what Medina called Type 10 tanks to Medina as well as provide engineering and development services so Medina could henceforth produce them on their own. Trigunia had also recently sold corvettes, landing and other naval vessels to Telemon.

The Party Secretary confirmed there was disagreement on one issue however. Current law provides that the government approves arms sales to foreign nations on a case by case basis. Eudoxia Vasilevskaya Kuryagina suggested that since she agreed with the Martov Pavlovitch Theses on foreign relations she believed future sales should only be to collectivist states. In contrast, C. A. Shaposhnikhov, the shadow defense minister, believed we should seek more free trade agreements beyond the four we have, sell to whoever we can, keep our reputation for modernization intact and fund the revolution with arms sales.

Borosdoin indicated that since KNs had not reached agreement it would support the judgment of the ruling party on this issue.

CCPA Member E.V. Kuryagina, second from right

MANAGEMENT SEMINAR DISCUSSES SALARY CAPS

At a seminar for manufacturing production managers sponsored by Triboronexport in Sofiyaburg, the government owned consortium for arms export, Eudoxia Vasiyevna Kuryagina, Krasnyy Narodnyy Soyuz(KNS) delegation chief in the Central Committee, appeared as a member of a panel discussing the new salary caps in legislation sponsored by KNS. Professor Yuri Lazarovitch Abakhumov of the History Department of State University of Lesnos asserted that the salary caps coupled with the nationalizing of the defense industry will inevitably lead to the disintegration and marginalization of war machinery production; indeed this was all explained in his book, Great Weapons Can Only Be Made by Money, So There.

CCPA delegate Kuryagina responded as follows;

Certainly that is possible as the distinguished historian has asserted. The Martov Pavlovitch Theses of the ruling party certainly acknowledge that many previous attempts have led to production and quality decay. Nonetheless, the KNS and the ruling party intend to proceed because the citizens will be better off. Since there is no world revolution one should consider several factors in play which we can see may mitigate the disaster the professor is predicting.

First, the salary caps are high enough that they are not affecting the management, research and development and periodic modernization of the arms industry. They only would have affected the owners and very senior executives attached to the owners who were forced out by nationalization.

Second, nationalization of key industries not all industries has occurred. Should the process of honest and objective criticism - self criticism indicate that it is necessary to bring the private sector back in whether in whole or impart, this can be done.

Third, it is not clear to what extent the contacts of the former arms industry owners may have influenced arms sales positively. It is also unclear whether the Martov Pavlovitch Theses suggest a different direction for arms sales. For the moment however, we are pursuing existing arrangements for exports.

One needs to observe carefully the effect of decisions and adjust accordingly.


General P.K. Ordzhonokidze, the Assistant Chief of Weapons Procurement for the Army Staff, who attended the seminar confirmed that the Army is experiencing no difficulties with the weaponry it is buying either because of salary caps or nationalization.

Kronkirchen Automotive truck production line

AUTO SALES ON TARGET

Krasnyy Narodnyy Soyuz (KNS) Deputy Party Secretary Karl Kollowrath met with Dominik Sclager, President of Kronkirchen Automotive, to discuss the impact of salary caps on truck production and domestic and export sales at Die Kleine Berghutte for lunch in the Hulstrian Sector of Kronkirchen. Schlager assured Kollowrath that the key issue was not salary caps but nationalization; as long as the truck manufacturer could continue to operate that he had every reason to expect domestic sales and exports to our free trade partners would continue at least at current levels because the trucks were dependable and not expensive. Sales in the Federal Socialist Republic of Brakav would no doubt be the largest share.

As to production, the workers on the Board of Directors was no problem and the salary caps themselves were sufficiently high that factory workers, technicians, engineers and management almost to the level of plant managers remained essentially the same. In fact the caps reduced the chance a competitor could get in a bidding war for a key employee.

As to senior executives, obviously the caps reduced their technical compensation, but the Board of Directors had retained the corporate law firm of Malinovskii, Dzherzhinskii, Braunschweiger and Dolgurov to devise an executive package of perquisites and benefits which in fact proved effective for retention.

Kollowrath in turn assured Schlager that as long as the tax from sales continued to come into government coffers at the present rate the KNS and almost certainly the ruling party would not be looking to nationalize the industry. Further salary caps were not set in stone and would be adjusted as time went by and developments unfolded.

Kronkirchen Automotive picked up the check for the lunch of wurst, himmberrn wine and peppermint coffee.

Karl Kollowrath of KNS
KNS EXPLAINS WHY SALARY CAPS

At a seminar in Zvropol sponsored by the Hedge Fund Institute and Zarvospol State University on Unbridled Capitalism and Dialetical Materialism Throughout History, Krasnyy Narodnyy Soyuz(KNS) Deputy Party Secretary Karl Kollowrath responded to the question of whether KNS simply hated entrepreneurs when it proposed salary caps to the Central Committee of the People's Assembly (CCPA):

No. KNS does not simply regard every one trying to build a business as a running dog of capitalism that should be eliminated. Hardly, to date nationalism is of key industries carefully selected. Our primary focus is on seeing there are benefits available for citizens and no holes in the safety net as opposed to treating the unemployed, homeless and downtrodden as casualties of the iron law of wages, unbridled capitalism and extremely enhanced executive compensation.

But keeping things simple with two points. First KNS is certainly aware limitations on salary are in keeping with the Metzist vision of the first stage of socialism. Certainly it is. But second, the one reason KNS proposed this measure was to impede but not of course in fact to eliminate treating enhanced executive compensation as the sole purpose and mission of many corporations here and abroad as undeniably has been their practice. Owners of business should benefit when profit enhances the value of ownership. When instead extremely enhanced worship of executive compensation prevails who have suffered? The actual laborers producing goods and services, share holders, pension funds, the state which does not receive an honest rendering of tax, consumers of goods and services. Who benefits? A few executives and attorneys practicing corporate, tax and bankruptcy law.

So this measure was designed to somewhat repress a demonstrably destructive force in our economy which we hope at some point will not be necessary.

Istaarii Brown Bear in northern Vrosnok Federated Socialist Republic

KNS EXPLAINS ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT

While campaigning in Spask, Party Secretary P.D. Borosdin of Krasnyy Narodnyy Soyuz (KNS) was asked by reporters if complaints were true that the KNS were unfairly targeting bear hunters. Borosdin responded as follows:

Actually comrades, there are bear hunters among the KNS and the ruling party and that was most assuredly not our intent in passing the Endangered Species Act. Existing law simply allows the government to encourage hunters not to kill animals determined to be endangered. The change is that if a species is determined to be endangered the Ministry of Environment and Tourism can immediately issue regulations to forbid hunting.

The question is a fair one; it is true that the reason for the proposal was that among many of the KNS there was real concern for certain species of bears needing protection. At the moment the only specie of bear on the endangered list is the Istaarii brown bear.
