Corporate Movement Gaining Traction in Kalistan-May 18th, 3850Story by George Findlay, ColumnistFrederick de Vries is the Movement's prospective candidate for the Presidential Office.-Lova, NeverasThe tumultuous political scene of Kalistan welcomes another member to its fold as the Corporate Movement, a new organization largely focusing on education, science, and finance, gains momentum. Largely unknown in the public eye until March, the Corporate Movement, or CMK, has burst onto the scene, in reaction to the Revolutionary Freedom Party's failure in addressing the socio-economic issues plaguing Kalistan for the past several decades. With the United Fascist-Communist Front picking away at the RFP's stranglehold on the nation, the Corporate Movement stands a good chance of at the very least getting a foot in the door for future political discourse.
At the forefront of the new party's political manifesto lies a complete overhaul of Kalistan's education system, to a point of destabilizing the nation's entire social system. While many analysts believe that the implementation of this system would be largely beneficial to Kalistan's educational systems, laying down the foundation for a social revolution within the nation, others are skeptical of the costs, both financial and social, of adopting such an extreme structure, fearful of its consequences should it fail.
"Our ideas are quite daring, yes." says Frederick de Vries, the presidential candidate and spokesperson for the Movement. "However, we see their application as being wholly beneficial to Kalistan, and by extension, the world. We will write Kalistan into the history books as a great and learned nation of scholars, professionals, and experts in their respective fields. This is only the beginning."
Some question the financial backing of the CMK, observing that a majority chunk of their funding and sponsorship originates from the Byss Corporation, or ByssCorp. The multinational biotechnology giants, head-quartered in Valruzia, have had a shadow cast over them since their attempted coup of the Valruzian government almost 3 centuries ago. Doubtless, Kalistan will be vigilant of any corruption arising from the Valruzian company.
