    The Two Upcomers, Wang Zhaoming (Left) and Jiang Jieshi (Right).

    Much can be said regarding the state of the Kuomintang as a revolutionary organization, ever the most successful of our sort since the Hyndmanist usurpation of the British monarchy in '04. A source for effective change, reform and revolution in the fractured landscape of China, it has continued to be an inspiration to other Chinese national and revolutionary movements, alongside receiving broad support from the Chinese people.

    As a political party, however, the KMT stands as one of the most fractious and quarrelsome organizations in the world, with little means of bettering itself. With an eclectic group of nationalists, conservatives, landlords, socialists, anarchists and militarists all huddled under the banner of Sun Yat-Sen's party, ever loyal to the revolutionary hero in times of crisis, yet always eager to bloody the nose of each other in a bid to secure lasting power and legitimacy should the KMT ever fracture as a unified revolutionary party. This has often lead to significant hassle in the Legislative Yuan amongst squabbling members of the body, delaying and continuing to drag out legislation even for our already advancing programs.

    The situation in the streets is even worse, with tensions simmering between the leftist and rightist wings of the KMT, both within the Republic and abroad as both sides eagerly await for something to give way. Critical funds and material being sapped away for pointless inter-faction squabbles, all while the people watch with ever the more concern as it seems that even the compromising and popular Sun Yat-Sen cannot completely discipline his own people.

    As the crass KMT anarchist Wu Zhihui put it best, "The party pigs squeal for slop, whilst the people want for such luxury."

    Now that the question would finally come to Sun Yat-Sen's attention, what is to be done?

    Support the left wing of the party?    ​

    Support the right wing of the party?    ​

    Support the militarists?    ​

    Crack down on party factionalism?​
    This would strengthen the leftist segments of the Party. Sun Yat-Sen's approval would also greatly increase the chances of their political programs being passed in future legislative sessions.This would strengthen the conservative segments of the Party. Sun Yat-Sen's approval would also greatly increase the chances of their political programs being passed in future legislative sessions.The militarists would bring a cohesive third element into Party politics, weakening the left-right divide and mending the party with aggressively nationalist policies and reforms.With Sun Yat-Sen commanding broad political and popular support, this would permanently halt any and all party factionalism during his rule as the Republic's President, weakening them both. Internal stability will also increase.
    The right-wing of the party will be incensed with the further empowerment of their rivals. Furthermore, the left might be emboldened enough to attempt something drastic...The Party leftists will be angered by the empowerment of their rivals. The right-wing will also demand some drastic changes to government policy as a concession.This would once again reopen the topic of the NRA's role in politics, angering both left and right wings of the Party. Furthermore, the militarists may become a thorn in our side with their aggressive posturing.This will likely infuriate the Party in it's entirety, and Sun Yat-Sen will have to tread carefully to ensure that he is not usurped by any political misfortune.

    Please Pick 1.

    Stability now is more important than picking a side at this current stage. Which isn't to say we never pick a wing to support down the line, we'll have to do that eventually. Just saying lets do that when we're more assured of our resources, of our Republic's survival and our future prospects. For now I vote that the Good Doctor take up the Dictatorship in the idealized 'Roman' sense of the term.

    We're still fighting for our national liberation rn. As much as I greatly prefer the Left-KMT, the infighting is really hurting independence efforts rn (as can be seen in our organizational efforts in Xin Han)
