We'll run an article on our Cybernetic Comrades in the next edition for TK Gamma-8, which will not be in any way biased or propaganda - it will be the glorious truth of PRAVDA!

OK?

Why are capitalist fools still spamming around here?

I, Mani Alpha-3, for one am not a capitalist as you define them. I will defend the rational efficiency of a planned economy among my fellow cyborgs. Together with TK Gamma-8 defending FM and Drogi Upsilon-5 defending green I'm sure we will have quite a few exciting arguments in our private forum...

Well yes I know , but I'm using every opportunity and post I can get to become one of the 100 most posting Apolytoners. Currently I'm on the 102th position.

Jamski · May 8, 2003, 16:41

You're such a spamburger but we love you anyway.

Actually I've made about 200 posts today. I lost my job on Monday, so now I can be a full time poster.

(No sympathy please - I'm happy about it)

Feel free to post in PRAVDA as much as you like - untill we appoint an Editoral Deputy to the Peoples' Advisory Council. Then there may be some restrictions, depending on who ends up as EDttPAC. And where is the CyCon newspaper-embryo-thing?

Get typing if you want to get your PC +1's

Method · May 8, 2003, 16:46

200 today? no, you're not that Trip-ulatory

i only counted 55 :P

CyCon newspaper...hmm, i'll let someone else do that

[/lazy]

Jamski · May 8, 2003, 16:53

I thought you were guessing that number, but I just checked. You really have too much time TKG

Well this is 56, and a possible bed-time for me. Well lets see... 56 per day = 392 per week. At this rate I need 23 more weeks to make Deity. Unless I die first from trying to write 56 posts per day.

Weren't you a non-German working in Germany or am I wrong? Will you move to somewhere else now?

We have datalinks which everyone with the correct implants can access by just thinking about it.

We don't need such a primitive thing as a "newspaper".

"LIED DER PARTEI (Die Partei hat immer recht) (1950)
Composition and lyrics: Louis Fuernberg

Sie hat uns alles gegeben,
Sonne und Wind und sie geizte nie.
Wo sie war, war das Leben,
Was wir sind, sind wir durch sie.
Sie hat uns niemals verlassen,
Fror auch die Welt, uns war warm.
Uns schützt die Mutter der Massen,
Uns trägt ihr mächtiger Arm.

Die Partei, die Partei,
Die hat immer recht
Und Genossen es bleibe dabei,
Denn wer kämpft für das Recht,
Der hat immer recht
Gegen Lüge und Ausbeuterei.
Wer das Leben beleidigt,
Ist dumm oder schlecht,
Wer die Menschen verteidigt,
Hat immer recht.
So aus Lenin'schem Geist
Wächst von Stalin geschweißt
Die Partei, die Partei, die Partei.

Sie hat uns niemals geschmeichelt.
Sank uns im Kampfe auch mal der Mut,
Hat sie uns leis nur gestreichelt:
"Zagt nicht!" und gleich war uns gut.
Zählt denn noch Schmerz und Beschwerde,
Wenn uns das Gute gelingt,
Wenn man den Ärmsten der Erde,
Freiheit und Frieden erzwingt?

Sie hat uns alles gegeben,
Ziegel zum Bau und den großen Plan.
Sie sprach: "Meistert das Leben,
Vorwärts Genossen, packt an."
Hetzen Hyänen zum Kriege,
Bricht euer Bau ihre Macht.
Zimmert das Haus und die Wiege,
Bauleute, seid auf der Wacht!"

Song distributed by the SED in former Eastern Germany.

Translation:
"She [the party, the government] has given everything to us,
the sun and the wind, and she´s never been stingy with it.
Where she was, there was the life,
What we are, we are through her.
She´s never left us,
when the world was freezing we were warm.
We are protected by the mother of the mass,
we are carried by her mighty arm.

The party, the party,
she´s always right.
And comrades, that´s final,
´cause who fights for the right,
is always right,
against the lie and the exploit.
Who insults life,
is dump or bad,
who defends the people,
is always right.
So made of Lenin´s spirit,
welded by Stalin,
there grows the party, the party, the party.

She was never flattering us.
When we lost heart in the struggle,
she had just stroked us softly:
"Don´t hesitate!" and then we felt good.
Do trouble and pain still count,
when we succeed in the good,
when for the poorest on earth,
freedom and peace is forced?

She´d given everything to us,
bricks for the construction and the great plan.
She said: "master life,
let´s go comrades, tackle it."
When hyenas engage in warmongering,
your work will break the might.
Build the house and the cradle,
craftsmen, be on your guard!"

Voltaire · May 8, 2003, 20:08

Comrades! We have in private already briefly discussed the government structure of our great new nation. Now I ask you to contribute to coming up with names for your ministries/ministers and region/governors.

After much consideration I put forth before the People’s Advisory Council the proposal to classify regions as prefectures and governors as prefects; who would be directly appointed by the People’s Continuing Committee.

Furthermore, the proposed administrative structure of the Human Hive would consist of the following:

The People’s Continuing Committee to be headed by the Chairman, and would oversee all matters of state though the People’s Ministries. The People’s Ministries would consist of the following:

Ministry of Economics Affairs: headed by the People’s Commissar of Economics Affairs;
Ministry of Science and Technology: headed by the People’s Commissar of Science and Technology;
Ministry of Information: headed by the People’s Commissar of Information;
Ministry of State Security: headed by the People’s Commissar of State Security; & the
Commission of Foreign Affairs: headed by the Commissioner of Foreign Affairs.

The People’s Advisory Council are requested to look at the proposal submitted and offer insight and commentary into it.

P.S.
If anyone can come up with more create names please do, Ministry is overused, we need something more creative.

English lyrics

Unbreakable Union of freeborn Republics,
Great Russia has welded forever to stand.
Created in struggle by will of the people,
United and mighty, our Soviet land!

Sing to the Motherland, home of the free,
Bulwark of peoples in brotherhood strong.
O Party of Lenin, the strength of the people,
To Communism's triumph lead us on!

Through tempests the sunrays of freedom have
cheered us,
Along the new path where great Lenin did lead.
To a righteous cause he raised up the peoples,
Inspired them to labor and valorous deed.
[Or, the old way:
Be true to the people, thus Stalin has reared us,
Inspire us to labor and valorous deed!]

Sing to the Motherland, home of the free,
Bulwark of peoples in brotherhood strong.
O Party of Lenin, the strength of the people,
To Communism's triumph lead us on!

In the vict'ry of Communism's deathless ideal,
We see the future of our dear land.
And to her fluttering scarlet banner,
Selflessly true we always shall stand!

March of the Volunteers

Arise,
Ye who refuse to be slaves!
With our very flesh and blood,
Let us build our new Great Wall!
The peoples of China are in the most critical time,
Everybody must roar his defiance.
Arise!
Arise!
Arise!
Millions of hearts with one mind,
Brave the enemy's gunfire, March on!
Brave the enemy's gunfire, March on!
March on!
March on!

Solidarity Song

Forward, without forgetting
Where our strength can be seen now to be!
When starving or when eating
Forward, not forgetting
Our solidarity!

Peoples of the world, together
Join to serve the common cause!
So it feeds us all for ever
See to it that it's now yours.

Forward....

Black or white or brown or yellow
Leave your old disputes behind.
Once you're talking with your fellow
Men, you'll soon be of one mind.

Forward....

If you want to make this certain
We'll need you and your support.
It's yourselves you'll be deserting
If you rat on your own sort.

Forward....

All the gang of those who rule us
Hope our quarrels never stop
Helping them to split and fool us
So they can remain on top.

Forward....

Workers of the world, uniting
That's the way to lose your chains.
Mighty regiments are fighting
That no tyranny remains!

Forward, without forgetting
Till the concrete question is hurled
When starving or when eating:
Whose tomorrow is tomorrow?
And whose world is the world?

Micha · May 9, 2003, 02:27

Wow, that should become our new anthem!
It´s kind of ... rousing...

As for the government structure:
Ministry of Economics Affairs: Prosperity Planning and Realization would fit better, don´t you think?

Ministry of Science and Technology:

Ministry of Information: me! me! please! me!

Ministry of State Security:

if nobody else occupies that position, I´ll apply for it too

Commission of Foreign Affairs: heavily supported by the ~~propaganda~~ information agency

ministry synonymes:
department, agency, bureau, authority ...

Internationale

Stand up, all victims of oppression
For the tyrants fear your might
Don't cling so hard to your possessions
For you have nothing, if you have no rights
Let racist ignorance be ended
For respect makes the empires fall
Freedom is merely privilege extended
Unless enjoyed by one and all.

CHORUS:
So come brothers and sisters
For the struggle carries on
The Internationale
Unites the world in song
So comrades come rally
For this is the time and place
The international ideal
Unites the human race

Let no one build walls to divide us
Walls of hatred nor walls of stone
Come greet the dawn and stand beside us
We'll live together or we'll die alone
In our world poisoned by exploitation
Those who have taken, now they must give
And end the vanity of nations
We've one but one Earth on which to live

And so begins the final drama
In the streets and in the fields
We stand unbowed before their armour
We defy their guns and shields
When we fight, provoked by their aggression
Let us be inspired by life and love
For though they offer us concessions
Change will not come from above.

Good to see I'm not the only one awake this morning.

Comrades - the people are grateful for your many contributions to PRAVDA !

@Honorary Comrade Maniac - I'll be moving down south in about 8 weeks to Schwäbish Gmünd. (It's near Stuttgart) So I won't be leaving Germany yet. Ruddy German economy = toilet

@Comrade Voltaire - Great to have your pictures in PRAVDA. Where did you get them, may I ask? I found lots of Soviet posters on this website. Nice suggestions for Party positions. We'll probably have to do more than one each. I'd like to become the Official Editorial Deputy to the Peoples' Advisory Council - that means keeping PRAVDA up to date and spamming the other factions newspapers.

@Comrade HongHu - I was worried you wouldn't make it. For some strange reason I couldn't send you a PM yesterday. Any idea why? Good to have you on board comrade.

@Comrade Micha - I was looking for the old SED anthem, and you've already found it for me

Gute Arbeit !

We should decide who is doing what initally so everything is sorted out in time for the game to start (And for the second edition of PRAVDA

)

Who wants to be the starting Chairman of the PEC? Please submit your nominations. I don't think we need a poll. Once we have that decided, the Chairman can make a series of one choice polls for the other positions, or the Minister of Democratic Public Opinion can

Let's try to get it sorted out today if possible, eh comrades?

FORWARD IN COMPANIONSHIP, FELLOWSHIP & BROTHERHOOD!
