The Sirius Revolutionary Voice (Also known as The Mensheviks)

[Tomtomrawr]

I don't think Marx so much as encouraged or wanted a violent revolution, as he just saw it as unavoidable. He also predicted that a Communist revolution in Russia was doomed to eventual failure, as Russia wasn't developed far enough to be ready for the move into Communism. Turns out, he was dead on.

I briefly covered Marxism in school, that's good to know. I could add a part at the end of the story: 'Karl Marx did not believe our ancestors country was advanced enough for a revolution to succeed. We have advanced - both technologically and spiritually - greatly in the last thousand years. Perhaps now our revolution will work.'

As an interesting footnote, of all the countries in the world at the time of the writing of the Communist Manifesto, he believed that only Britain or the US were advanced far enough for Communism to truly succeed.

I didn't know that either, that is an interesting point. Thanks for the facts Henry, it's expanded my knowledge of the Communist Manifesto and will hopefully add to this faction. I also love interesting facts.:)


Now that I am home, I am today going to make a character and try out my current idea on how to use this idea. My idea is to use local chat on single people or small groups. I won't outright say 'I am a Marxist, want to join us?' I'll ask a question (maybe to a trader or a pirate) and put forward the idea that there is a better system in which they would have better conditions. My character will say that he has only heard of the group, not that he is a member. That way if the person is a strong capitalist they won't kill me. If they role-play they are interested in the idea of communism, I will discuss it with them more and tell them my character is a member.

I will also be in a Starflier, just to prove the point we are on a budget. No armour, and just weapons, a shield, a thruster bought on the Barrier whilst I'm getting my FL ID. The weapons are needed incase of NPC attack, and I'll make sure I stay in budget.
