Bill: Mobilisation of the Proletariat
Details
Submitted by[?]: Communist Proletarian Committee (KCCP)
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: December 2401
Description[?]:
| Now that the TSSR has entered the dictatorship of the proletariat, the concept of trade unionism is obsolete. We propose the creation of one single union that will include every worker in the land, to ensure that the government remains in touch with the workers. Of course strikes have also become obsolete as there is no reason to strike when you live in a socialist workers paradise such as Trigunia. Furthermore, we doubt the efficiency of the Democratic Workers Councils that were observed in capitalist Trigunia. The economy must be centrally planned in order to benefit the working class as a whole, and not remain caught up in this bourgeoisie sentimentality of 'being your own boss' . We envision a nation in which there is no boss, and the workers shall strive for the collective benefit of the Karissian proletariat. |

| Message | Clearly now comrade Martov has shown his ineptness in leading. If the workers, as comrade Martov said, will have no reason to strike, then there is no harm for strikes to be allowed. Because, if what comrade Martov said is right, then the workers will not strike even though strikes are still allowed. Michael Dzugashvilli OOC: Kicking off the Stalin - Lenin fight. |
