DBWI: Happy Anniversary, Comrades!

True, true. You could say the American/Union rivalry helps keep the capitalist powers honest. The rivalry also helped India to become an American ally rather than go communist when they threw out the Unionists. Now if only our Indian-led economic partners in the Pacific weren't always in trade disputes with the Australian-led Unionist Pacific Rim organization.

Pah - all the Indians did was trade one form of colonialism for another! Formerly they laboured to enrich the British imperialist ruling class, now they labour to furnish the US with cheap manufactured goods and provide Japan with proxy troops for the ongoing military disaster in China. One day, though, I'm sure that the workers of the subcontinent will throw off their chains!

Reminds me of the prank that my buddies and I pulled on on one of our Poli-Sci profs during my university days. He was an out and out (and very active) Red, so on the night of April 30 we snuck over to his place and replaced all of those red flags he set out with Union Jacks. Oh, the look on his face was priceless... Somehow I passed his course too, even after my (well-researched and solidly written) thesis made my views on communism quite clear.

So, in honour of that, every May I make sure that that a Union Jack flies in front of my house along with the Blue Ensign. God Save the King!

Maybe he managed to see the funny side, eventually? :D I'm a bit surprised to read that someone who openly supported the Revolution was allowed to hold a university post in Unionist Canada (I don't think they'd allow his Free British counterpart to poison students' minds over here); maybe some of the things I've read about political repression on your side of the pond are a little exaggerated. Oh, and I see the US have finally allowed the so-called King to take up permanent residence in Ottawa. Finally decided after nearly 90 years that making the royals live in Bermuda so that they could appease those elements in Congress who kicked up about reestablishing monarchy on the North American continent was a little bit silly, I guess...

OOC: You know, any double-blind RP that even remotely involves socialism is a mess. No one will miss an opportunity to do a political take that whenever they post. Any leftist government is going to instantly be turned into a baby-killing monstrosity by the first rightist.

OOC: Aye, you're right. I'm willing to play along with it on this thread in fun, but I really like what you've done with your Red Dawn thread, pointing out the positives of a leftist government while acknowledging the likely shortcomings so that it can't be dismissed as just Redwank or whatever.

And our fraternal Irish allies continue to make inroads against those UVF terrorists; final victory is surely only a matter of time!

Sorry, but those valiant freedom fighters are far from defeated, and in time, they will liberate the people of the Emerald Isle from communist tyranny. BTW, you might want to ask them, or your own security people how much they like Javelins, Stingers, C-4, and all the other high-quality goodies of death and destruction that our factories can produce at a reasonable price.... so many nice places to park a 688 or a Seawolf in those parts, you know. ;)

And speaking of naval matters, your navy, both ships and crews, has been crap ever since the commie takeover, as all the people who knew what they were doing in the fleet and the design staffs were either murdered in the purges or joined the Free Royal Navy in Exile, and helped make the Royal Canadian, Australian, Indian, and South African Navies the powerhouses they are today. Pretty much every one of your subs and task forces has one of our attack boats trailing it from the time it leaves port to the time it returns, and there's nothing they can do about it, while we can take them down any time we want.

Nor can your pathetic excuse for a navy do much about us looking and listening to whatever we want- my last tour on the Walrus, well can't say much, but we and HMCS Churchill had a blast on a intel mission and made your people look like fools, not to mention picking up a Presidential Unit Citation. BTW, there's a nice set of periscope photos of HMS Tiger, that new Cromwell sub, and that artistic atrocity you call a monument to the Liverpool Mutiny at the docks there, and even if it'd be a shame to trash an actual WW1 capital ship, I think they'd look better with a couple Mk. 48s in the side, and the monument could use some resculpting via C-4 or a Tomahawk. Not that it has much to do since all the colonies went bye-bye despite all the atrocities, bordering on genocide you people tried to hold on to the Empire in Africa and Asia- now there's some hypocracy from a communist regime, although that sort of murderous BS is about par for the course from a communist regime.

Really? And how do you explain their rankings of 27th among the world's nations in standard of living, per-capita income, and the human development index according to the League of Nation's latest report out of Geneva? Not to mention that opinon polls in India show about 65-70% support for the operations in China- they too recognize how dangerous those Maoist lunatics can be if allowed to exist unchecked.

Why would the people of India want to go Red? A totalitarian Mosleyist hell is not something that free men desire you know...

We have something that hasn't existed in the UK since the Reds seized power: Freedom of speech. Commies are free to hold any form of employment they desire. The rest of us are free to tell them that we think that communism is a load of shit.

All of the British propaganda you've ever read about political repression in the free world probably comes from your government projecting their own views onto their enemies.

Oh, and I see the US have finally allowed the so-called King to take up permanent residence in Ottawa. Finally decided after nearly 90 years that making the royals live in Bermuda so that they could appease those elements in Congress who kicked up about reestablishing monarchy on the North American continent was a little bit silly, I guess...

Agh! Ignorant communists! What other garbage does your so-called education include?

We've had a king (or queen) in Ottawa since the British communist coup. You guys were quite thorough in annihilating the Royals, but King Arthur (then the Duke of Connaught) was Canada's Governor General and was in Ottawa. Once it became clear as to who was going to win the British Civil War, is was easy enough to have him crowned. The House of Connaught has ruled Canada and the Union ever since. The yanks never complained, as technically, the monarchy already existed here. Your little bloodbath just made it take up permanent residence.
 
And don't forget all those nice Leo2s, Abrahams, Crear and T-90 tanks in the German Republic, just waiting to make the next leisure cruise to Paris... You can ask any German, it was the best thing ever to join the Atlantic Defence League.
 

Teleology

Banned
( Dude, the DDR are the equivalent of the USSR 800-pound gorilla backing up red Britain, and control Russia. I would say that France is probably in the Atlantic League and a Siberian break-away state is probably in the Unionist Pacific group led by Australia that rivals the American backed Indian-Japanese PacRim group )

The German Republic? So that's what that bunch of Prussian militarists lording it over the natives down in Southwest Africa are calling themselves now? The alleged heir to the Imperial German throne isn't going to be a very happy princeling when he finds out about that.

It's a long way from Windhoek to Paris, you know... :)

That's a little unfair. Despite what the Unionists will try to tell you about the UESR being a German hegemony etc etc, the RFSR is as fully autonomous as any of the other member states formed from the remains of the Russian Empire, just as Britain herself is. The DDR do like to think of themselves as "first among equals", it's true, but Britain and France think the same of themselves too.

Well, I'm willing to admit that the Morning Star and the BBC News probably don't give us the full picture, any more than your big-business-controlled information outlets give you. We have made big strides in freedom of speech in the last couple of decades, though. I mean, I can come on the internet and say stuff like this without expecting to get into trouble. Couldn't have done that 25 years ago (even if internet access had been widespread then! :) )

Still, education is a touchy subject; one of the few areas where applicants are still subject to political vetting, along with the police and the armed forces.

Agh! Ignorant communists! What other garbage does your so-called education include?

Well, as I said above, it's difficult to know whether you're getting the full picture or not, either in school or from the news organs, and I'm sure that's just as true on your side of the pond as over here. ;)

Greetings to you too, comrade! :) How are your efforts to destabilise world peace and provide aid and succour to reactionary terrorists going?

Come now, comrade, not even the most determined apologist for US foreign policy can regard the UVF as anything more than a bunch of bigoted right-wing nutjobs, mainly in the guerrilla game for the fun atrocity opportunities it offers them. I understand that even though they're bastards, they're your bastards, but nevertheless, calling them "valiant freedom fighters" is a bit of a stretch!

And speaking of naval matters, your navy, both ships and crews, has been crap ever since the commie takeover, as all the people who knew what they were doing in the fleet and the design staffs were either murdered in the purges or joined the Free Royal Navy in Exile

The ones who were more or less forced to do so at gunpoint by Unionist officers, perhaps. I mean, Churchill's Navy clique were the hardest of the hardcore Unionists; the ordinary sailors, on the other hand, mostly went with the people. The People's Naval Division and the Naval Infantry battalion of the William Morris Brigade were the first Red troops to enter London, iirc.

BTW, there's a nice set of periscope photos of HMS Tiger, that new Cromwell sub, and that artistic atrocity you call a monument to the Liverpool Mutiny at the docks there

That's PNS Tiger, actually, and I think the Mutiny Memorial at the Pier Head is extremely inspiring, especially all those big white concrete sculptures of square-jawed, heroic Naval Infantrymen storming Liverpool Town Hall.

And I think those new Cromwell-class SSNs might give you a nasty surprise, comrade - they're a big improvement on the old Republic-class boats from the 80s.

[OOC: You know exactly the sort of art I mean. :D]

Not that it has much to do since all the colonies went bye-bye despite all the atrocities, bordering on genocide you people tried to hold on to the Empire in Africa and Asia- now there's some hypocracy from a communist regime, although that sort of murderous BS is about par for the course from a communist regime.

Well, as I said above, a lot of bad stuff went down during the Mosley years, and the current government acknowledge that. But it doesn't alter the essential justice of the Revolutionary cause back in 1919, or cancel out the real political advances we've made since. Don't try and pretend the modern UESR is the same as Mosley's regime back in the 30s and 40s.

Really? And how do you explain their rankings of 27th among the world's nations in standard of living, per-capita income, and the human development index according to the League of Nation's latest report out of Geneva?

The LoN make lots of rather interesting pronouncements. Let's face it, the League's really only a rubber stamp to justify US military intervention in Latin America, Africa and Asia, isn't it?
