I just came up with a new song, called "This Is Our Flag". Comments are appreciated, since I wrote it in ten minutes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
(To the tune of Jean Sibelius's Finlandia Hymn)

This is our flag, red from the blood of tyrants
A flag of hope, for Earth and all mankind
This is our dream, our dream of bread and freedom
To build a new land, a worker’s shrine!
A worker’s dream, a noble shining beacon
Our hopes and dreams shall echo throughout time!

The factories belong to common people
No more shall we be slaves to oligarchs
They stole our land, and killed our constitution
So we’ll fight, from Maine to the Ozarks!
This is our flag, red from the blood of heroes
Our burning flag, to light the darkest dark!

Concerns about the Social Ecology Union

NestorMakhno said:
Now, before I start, I am a devout SEU member. I'm very active in the local student wing, and I have been for many years. I volunteer to preserve the local praires, forests, and deserts, while going to digs. I am a staunch eco-anarchist. That said, I am concerned very much about the direction this party is taking. Recently, we had a meeting, and one member kept trying to insert language supporting research into "alternative medicine" and explicit language stating that vaccine had "troubling medical implications." I've heard that this is becoming common across the nation. People attempting to give a mainstream boost to alternative medicine and anti-vaccination views. Now, the main SEU has thus far rejected such calls, and supported mainstream medicine. And they have always since their formation. However, with their focus on health and environmentalism, more fringe people are pushing their own brand of pseudoscience into the official SEU doctrine. While the SEU mainstream has rejected these thus far, I fear that one day, as more fringe people are attracted to the SEU, these will become more common in this party. I would not want the Premier or any of the CEC to follow these sorts of views. I don't know, does anyone else have concerns?

I see what you mean. I get email chains all the time, talking about "water flouridation", and how it is a danger to your health and to sign their petition to get the government to act, as if this was still the 60's. I wouldn't be too concerned about it, though. Since the party is very large and very popular, the more fringe people will continue to be marginalized, since the majority of voters don't support those views and those candidates will not be elected. I wouldn't be too worried. Most of the fringe candidates in my party DFLP never amount to much.

Fair enough. Still, with the decentralized structure, and being able to spin it as again supporting health policies, I fear that it grow more over the years.

At least your crazies appear to be confined to one party (and even there, only to one marginalized center). Views like alternative medicine, anti-vaccination, and especially water flouridation (as an evil commie plot to poison the populace), are a bipartisan thing. And it's the opposite. As far as I could tell, only the "watermelons" of ESCI support alt-medicine en masse. Though I've heard a few politicians in the PA who support it as well. Anti-Vaccination tends to be more towards the radical PA as well. You know, Salk was an American, after all. It is prevelent in our politicians, because it is quite prevelent across the country.

Oddly enough problem, especially given that the US level of education is higher than in OTL.
And yes ... too late to talk about it but ...

I was going to do something exactly like this, but I held off. Might as well do it now, with the three most prominent users I use:



Username: NestorMakhno
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Straight
Nationality: Russian-Jewish
Religion: Agnostic
Location: Boulder, Colorado, UASR
Political Affiliation: Social Ecology Union
Occupation: Paleontology student at University of Colorado, Boulder
Favorite AH work: Warlord of the Air by Michael Moorcock
Other hobbies: Strategy games, multi-instrumentalist (harmonica, piano, violin, guitar), writing articles, aspiring anarchist
Likes: Dinosaurs, science fiction, dinosaurs, works by Anarchists, dinosaurs,romantic teen films... Did she mention Dinosaurs?
Dislikes: Fascism, Capitalism, Pseudo-science (particularly New Age or religious variety), anti-environmentalism
Favorite quote: "It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring."
-Carl Sagan
Demeanor: Enthusiastic and positive
AH works on the board:
"Rise of a Party: 1948-1960": Deals with a different splitting of the Worker's Communist Party, where the far left faction, which forms the core of the Liberation Communist Party itself begins to split, with various smaller parties, including (most notably) an independent ANC, forming in its place. Deals with the political implications, as the UASR steadily descends into turmoil over the more fractured political climate in the 50's. There is more repression, as even radical politicians from the DFL and DRP are persecuted by the secret police. The FBU grows even more repressive, under a near dictatorial Conservative Party, which all, but outlaws communist parties, and even left leaning parties, resulting in an exodus to the UASR. Ends with an ANC- "Communist Unity" coalition, under Malcolm Little, taking power in 1960.
"The Center Cannot Hold: 1960-": Sequel to Rise of a Party, dealing with the ANC-CU ruled government during the Second Cultural Revolution. The political chaos turns out worse in this decade, as radical socialists and government forces duke it out in major cities, while the AFS and Comintern slowly build up their arsenals. The FBU is rocked by internal revolts, and conflicts between Britain and France threaten to dissolve the Union entirely. The news of missile deployments to Ireland doesn't necessarily help matters....
"Age of Reptiles": A much more fun Timeline, dealing with the discovery of an island full of Dinosaurs outside of the Congo by German U-Boats during World War II, and the eventual aftereffects after American and Soviet forces find information about the island. During the Kongo Crisis, the island (called
île des Lézards (or Island of the Lizards in French) is particioned between the FBU, the UASR, and the USSR. It follows field reports from each of the spheres documenting the local flora and fauna. She freely admits that this was simply a way to indulge her love of prehistoric life. Sure enough, the reports are very detailed, and scientifically accurate in how dinosaurs and other creatures may have evolved and survived in such an isolated climate for millions of years. Most events outside the island are OTL, although in more recent years TTL, the superpowers are forced to team up to battle the scourge of dinosaur trafficking, forming an international team to combat it. Nestor is considering making a spin-off about the adventures of that team.
First two are based off me, or rather half of me

Based on the Iberian Campaign update,if African and Indian troops are indeed underrepresented in cinemas,i think TTL's Indigenes/Days of Glory would be even more groundbreaking,with French Central African soldiers instead of Algerians.

Yeah, I know you've expressed that before.

Of the users I created, only Kalki is based mostly on myself. Nestor is half me, half a friend of mine. Skaelingking is a representation of my misanthropy and nihilism. TheThirdMan is somewhat based on someone I knew in high school.
