Bill: Manifesto of Taisei Gekokujō
Details
Submitted by[?]: Gōzoku Yūkīō-Rabuzubāgu-Ishinawa
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill proposes the withdrawal from a treaty. It will require half of the legislature to vote in favor[?]. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: May 2964
Description[?]:
| We declare our faith in the teachings of the Buddha, that all individual life is transient and all things connected to the whole. We declare all property illusionary, we declare any one who holds capitalist possessions dear to himself and seeks happiness by accumulating them inherently unenlightened. We declare that in the days before contact with the Gaijin Imperialists, the Gao-Showa People were free from such illusions. We hold all the Gaijin Imperialist nations responsible for spiritual darkness of the People, especially the hairy Hulstrians. We declare our aim to liberate the Gao-Showa People by means of a mass enlightenment. The means of mass enlightenment shall be Gekokujō, the rising of the many the few. Gekokujō shall establish a belief in the way of the Tao, which is that all things cease to be and time moves ever forward, this shall be reflected in our faith in youth to replace the old. Gekokujō shall establish Ikkō-Zen as the only true path to enlightenment and the only true Buddhism. Gekokujō also draws some ideas from the Gaijin theory of Marxism. Of all the Gaijin economic theories, the economic system of Marxism is founded on moral principles, while capitalism is concerned only with gain and profitability. Hence Gekokujō draws from the teachings of Marx and Lenin. Gekokujō can rightly thought of as half-Marxist, half-Buddhist. The ideology of Gekokujō shall rightly be called Ikkō-Zen Nashonarusuto Shakaishugi Ryouken, or Single Minded Zen Nationalist Socialism Thought. In laymen terms Zen Socialism or Ikkō Nationalism. The Imperial Sovereign is the will of the nation, universe and Empire embodied within a human body, an avatar of the divine powers. It is possible that the Imperial Sovereign may leave it's human shell while the avatar still lives, in which case the overthrown of the avatar is justified. |
