NYC in WHFB

[X]: The Communist Party of New York and Boston

We can never return to the saftey of pure science and the creature comforts of a world dominated by the talking heads at Washington. As such we need a new way of life to reflect the new things we exist alongside, religion has to be thought differently now that tens if not hundreds of Gods exists as a definitive entity as priests and followers alike bring divine light with them wherever they go, the long lived dwarves and elves once relegated to stories now exist side by side with man, and the winds of the arcane flows through all with fervor that never existed before.

The world of old cant account for this, it already failed us long before we were cast away why would it preserve us now? If we let the old world dominate us we face the same trappings of it that choked us, poverty, monopoly, needless and senseless division for the profit of a few asinine billionaires, and the slow poisoning of our world for those same vile men. We are given a new life, the air is breathable, the night sky is alight with thousands of worlds we can see, and vast parks once covering over massive mounds of garbage are now rich with fertile earth. A new nation of NYC shall start and progress with this blessing, with advancement and a new generation at her helm!

[X]: The Communist Party of the United States of America

After a long history of failure I think that the CPUSA should get precisely one (1) win.

You might want to close the open vote bar at the top of the thread, it still says that voting is ongoing.

I'm interested in seeing how well trying to astroturf a new culture works out. As much as America was the source of the problem, it's also the people's culture and that contradiction could get awkward. This is ironically more likely to go into a cultural revolution direction than the maoists.

Yep! It will definitely be a thorny knot to deal with, and the Gordian solution is an appealing but definitely dangerous one

Calling it now things are gonna get a lot more weird as Hollidays and feast days become a lot more important. The Gods exist after all and you probably wanna keep them happy

tbh the group y'all chose probably aren't the best for going in to religion stuff (though not many were exactly good for it with Vangaurd)

You'll be doing alot since you picked that in the intro, and some new religoins might form, but, for example, the potential "old religions from the old world come back" is probably not going to happen

It still could! But it would find a very unfriendly government to the idea of revitalizing something from the world that was

Hi everyone! Surprising I know, but I live! I have beaten the many things I had to do that prevented me from writing, and now have a writing time blocked out daily! I shall write until I die!

I actually had most of this written many months ago but have been unable to access it or been able to finish it, which I have recently regained. Hooray! Consistent updates forever more! (Hopefully I really hope so, I have it scheduled which will help at the very least)



The Week After The Revolution

The struggle was done. After so many years of struggle, and the creation of her new, truly revolutionary part, Elsie March can stand at the top of the Empire State Building and look upon the dream she dreamt so long ago. From a young student reading Marx, to a member of the DSA, to leaving in outrage over the New York branch's moderation, to the great transition that changed so much about the world. Countless held themselves back, afraid of the possibilities this new land offered, afraid of abandoning what they once knew, but not her. With eyes firmly pointed forward she split from the mensheviks in the CPUSA, and with eyes firmly pointed forward she lead the revolution that in the end brought down the Police.

A cough brings her out of her daydreaming, the Maoists. Good allies in the struggle but so attached to the old world. She frowns, it'll be dealt with eventually, the people will reject them in the end, or they shall find that the cities can leverage more forces then their precious countryside. But for now, allies they are, and together they must work.

Elliot Pearce coughs to get their supposed leader out of the clouds and back into the current situation. That's the problem with these "new world communists" he thinks. They're idealists, and too focused on some imagined future to realize what's in front of their noses. It's a shame the Maoist movement he led ended up having to subordinate itself to them, but in the end their forces were greater, and neither movement had an appetite for further conflict. Yet. These idealists will lead the revolution to disaster, and then the Real Movement will be able to pick up the pieces. But for the moment, stabilization is the name of the game. The police are gone, but a new government must form itself now that the revolution has succeeded.

Jackie Brown is not in the Empire State. They sit on a bench near central park, enjoying freedom. To think just a month ago they feared conscription, just a week ago they thought they would be shot in the fighting. But today they can breathe free, in a city no longer in chains, a nation no longer under the gun of the police. On Broadway there's a revival of Les Miserables going on. The actors are talented, but the director is clearly out of their depth. Still, they might get a ticket, it's free in celebration of the revolution, but they hear the theatre plans to begin to charge again once the energy has died down. The sky is bluer than they've ever seen it before. The birds are louder. The wreckage from the fighting has started to clear. Truly, Jackie thinks, it is a good day.

Back in the Empire State Elsie March has a headache beyond the ability of her limited Tylenol stocks to treat. Dealing with the rightists of the CPUSA was never a struggle, giving speeches to the people was electrifying, forming and leading her own party had its hard times, but overall it was one of the greatest joys of her life. But now that the revolution is done dealing with the factions and coalitions and movements is seconds away from driving her mad. If it isn't the Maoists starting something with their ridiculous ideas, it's the revisionists clinging on to influence talking about moderation, or some damn fool plan they've concocted, and worse then either of the two it's some kid playing at revolution without a lick of theory in their head proposing something so stupid it makes her want to scream. But still. The police are gone, the revolution is won. The time has come to build something new, something glorious, something Revolutionary.

The revolution has won! Now comes the hard part.

The glorious republic of [NAME UNDER DISPUTE] is a one party state under the recently reorganized Communist Party of New York and Boston. Their rule is bolstered by an alliance with the Maoists, who as of now are mostly outside of the party, but allied to it.

The Party is led by its founder and chief theorist Elsie March, a firm ideology and true believer in the party's message. She is the founder of the party, and exists on its center left, with massive support among all factions, and total allegiance of the center. She has an undisputed mandate, but once the honeymoon of victory has ended she may find the party growing its own factions, as she once led a faction to destroy the CPUSA.

The Maoists are led by the most important of their surviving leaders who supported the alliance, Elliot Pearce, who accepts the practicality of the alliance, but is extremely doubtful of the CPNYB line and seeks to "rectify" what he considers to be its errors.

The left of the party is mostly affiliated with Elsie March, as she is seen as the leader of the revolution, but it is sharply disorganized and ideologically suspect, and may find itself growing more opposed as the direction of the new state becomes more defined

The right of the party finds itself cast out of power and completely disorganized, but with a quite substantial membership. If a leader could present itself the right could once again become a legitimate force and be able to utilize its influence among those outside of the party itself.

Current Crisis:

  • Holy shit we won
  • What do we do now????
  • Wow everything is really blown up huh
  • ??????
The First Week of Victory

You have 5 dice (represented by 2d50 each) that can be used for any action, with as many dice as you like per action. As the administration of the new state has not yet been built, your ability to do things is sharply limited, and a structure must be created.

Party Affairs

[]: Organize the party leadership
  • The leadership of the party organization was devastated during the revolution by targeted police strikes, and further complicated by the inclusion of the Maoists into the ruling faction, not to mention the amount of new leaders that the revolution had brought up.
    • This action will be necessary for much construction of the state and governance. Doing it sooner will allow these actions to be done much faster, as well as make sure the leadership is loyal to the current factional situation (namely, loyalty to Elsie March and allegiance to the party, as well as a few token Maoists). Waiting however may give a better crop of candidates as leaders start to grow and form within the party on their own, albeit more potentially ideologically divergent ones. This would however come at the cost of delaying the foundation of an official and structured government, which may delay the movement from its initial goals.
[]: Further cooperation with the Maoists
  • The Maoist movement is a thorn in the side of the party, an ally of convenience no one expected to survive the revolution. Yet survive they have, and while they are limited inside the cities they have not insignificant support outside of them, and within the hard left factions of the movement. Perhaps if they could be brought inside the party instead of outside of it they could become more amenable to the the structure of the movement, and subordinate themselves to the Party as they should
[]: Strategic Strikes against the Maoists
  • The Maoist movement is a thorn in the side of the party, an ally of convenience no one expected to survive the revolution. Yet survive they have, and while they are limited inside the cities they have not insignificant support outside of them, and within the hard left factions of the movement. Perhaps some tactical actions taken against their support base, a few of their leaders assigned to out of the way areas, and a move to undercut their base of allegiance could weaken them, bring power back to the party where it belongs
Economics
[]: Clean up the rubble
  • The cities are desolated from the civil war and the fighting, and while a true reconstruction effort will have to wait for the time, a cleaning of the streets, covering of the holes, building of the roofs, etc would be an immense boon to the people of the new state, and perhaps make the post revolutionary euphoria and optimism last a fair bit longer then it might otherwise
[]: Keep the fires burning
  • Victory has been had, but that does not mean we can abandon all responsibility. Though mass reorganization will occur of course, at the moment we simply need to keep the lights on and the factories churning, else our new revolution will quickly find the goodwill it has gained rather strained by people desiring once more light, heat, AC, and all the other things one needs to get by
[]: The question of agriculture
  • New England was not much of a farming land when the transition happened, but before the police coup the old government was able to set up enough of a system so that starvation was rare, if not banished. This degraded under the police of course, and will need a little work to return to form, but it should not be too much trouble. Though the Maoists of course disagree, and push for immense work to be done in this sector to both revolutionize it and to avert any risk of famine, which much of the party thinks they overstate
[]: Make the trains run ten minutes late
  • This whole region once had an excellent transportation system (for america anyway) and the infrastructure is still there, it just needs some work to return to the functionality it had until the revolution's disruption. This could allow much more efficient and effective travel between our lands, and all the benefits that implies
[]: The other city
  • New York is without a doubt the heart of the revolution, and of our state. It has been since even before the New York Police Department lead the coup to create what we revolted against. But Boston lies within the revolution as well, and though it suffered less in the fighting it still suffered greatly, and a reconstruction effort focused around it would do much to endear the region (which was certainly the less radical of the two) to the revolution
Policy
[]: Ensure the survival of old world knowledge
  • The libraries stand strong, thankfully having been spared most of the hardest of the fighting, but they still face immense damage, and digital information is spotty at best, as the servers for most of the web were not in the area translocated, and the bits and pieces of the old world web that have survived are random at best. We must make sure to record all we can find, with backups, and recover what the chaos of the translocation and civil war may have damaged
[]: Formal Trials for the reactionaries
  • Our victory is absolute, but there remains the question of what to do with our former enemies. This issue is not urgent, but remains one of political debate, as while the worst of the worst must be done away with, there remains the open question of what the policy shall be for the more minor allies and small time collaborators, which many argue share less responsibility or are needed to build the bureaucratic apparatus. Of course some argue to simply shoot the lot, and the longer the question remains open the louder they are likely to get
[]: Where the hell are we?
  • While it has been five years since the twin pearls were moved to this land, the police regime was never very big on foreign affairs outside of their invasion of Araby, and the occasional conflict with local pirates or Orcs. Perhaps if we could reach out to our local neighborhood we could discover more of this strange land?
[]: Find out what has gone wrong
  • We are without a doubt on the verge of many crises. Unfortunately we have no idea what these crises may be, or where they might happen. If we could go over the situation and discover what has without a doubt gone horribly wrong perhaps we could get a handle on things before they explode into undeniable disaster


Also, because I forgot. Please vote on a name :V
