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 4220
Description[?]:
| We, the undersigned, declare, 1) That the declaration by the opportunist League of Communist Vanguards of the imminent collapse of capitalism is premature and that this reckless misevaluation can only lead to disaster 2) That Central Majatra lacks the level of historical development necessary for socialism, having not yet fully matured beyond feudalism, tribalism and autocracy to the stage of bourgeois democracy. 3) That the League of Communist Vanguards have established a dictatorship not of the proletariat, but a dictatorship over the proletariat, the proletarian movement being suppressed and stifled in it's development by the military adventurism and opportunism of the League of Communist Vanguards. 4) That instead of standing by the noble tradition of Unity and Brotherhood in Central Majatra the League of Communist Vanguards have adopted a policy of Kalopian national chaunvisism disguised as secularism, which deliberately oppresses Majatrans. 5) That it is necessary to oppose within the working class movement for socialism and democracy the incorrect line of the revisionist adventurism of the League of Communist Vanguards with whatever means are open to the working class movement insofar as the constitution allows Therefore, we declare that with upmost necessity that a League of Social Democratic Vanguards be formed to promote the true interests of the working class, and to promote Metzism against revisionist adventurism, opportunism and terrorism. |

| Date | 20:20:39, June 02, 2017 CET | From | Paranational League | To | Debating the Declaration for the Foundation of a League of Social Democratic Vanguards |
| Message | The League appreciates your boldness but we are concerned with undermining the comprises we have made with the ruling party. In the spirit of such compromises we have already affected a number of positive changes in the spirit of Democratic Socialism. We encourage the Social Democrats to pursue a more constructive dialogue and more prolonged debate in the the future. Medus Karas |
| Date | 01:38:06, June 03, 2017 CET | From | Kalopikón Ethnikí Dýnami | To | Debating the Declaration for the Foundation of a League of Social Democratic Vanguards |
| Message | I agree with these principles. Communism must be demolished in Kalopia! |
| Date | 13:44:33, June 03, 2017 CET | From | League of Social Democratic Vanguards | To | Debating the Declaration for the Foundation of a League of Social Democratic Vanguards |
| Message | Communism must not be demolished, it will be achieved, but only via the correct historical path. The League of Communist Vanguards are acting prematurely. |
| Date | 15:28:58, June 03, 2017 CET | From | League of Communist Vanguards | To | Debating the Declaration for the Foundation of a League of Social Democratic Vanguards |
| Message | The League of Social Democratic Vanguards are following an incorrect and potentially destructive path. The recent global financial crisis was clearly the first step towards the final collapse of the international capitalist system, currently on its deathbed. Class struggle throughout Terra has intensified, and the proletarian revolution is growing. Kalopia itself did experience a bourgeois democracy, the Union of Kalopia-Wantuni, which existed between 4203 and 4209, and before that Kalopia was ruled by a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie for almost a century with the formal abolition of the state in 4129. The Social Democrats lack the most basic knowledge of Metzist theory and praxis, and have shown themselves to be countrer-revolutionary social fascists. The time of the revolution has come, and now it is our duty and responsibility to establish the Majatran Revolutionary Socialist Federation as the vanguard of the world revolution. Aniketos Xanthopoulos Secretary-General of the Command Council of Revolutionary Socialist Vanguardships |
| Date | 19:55:39, June 03, 2017 CET | From | League of Social Democratic Vanguards | To | Debating the Declaration for the Foundation of a League of Social Democratic Vanguards |
| Message | Comrade Xanthopoulos cannot truly believe that one can move directly from a slave economy to socialism. That is utterly against the basic laws of the materialist understanding of history. By imposing their adventurism upon the masses they only retard economic development and fuel the rise of the reactionary peasantry. |
| Date | 20:03:52, June 03, 2017 CET | From | League of Social Democratic Vanguards | To | Debating the Declaration for the Foundation of a League of Social Democratic Vanguards |
| Message | The Union of Kalopia-Wantuni may have had some characteristics of a bourgeois democracy, but it lacked the true basis of one, as evidenced by the rise of slavery, a form of production more primitive than the rule of industrial capital that precedes socialism. |
| Date | 20:06:19, June 03, 2017 CET | From | League of Social Democratic Vanguards | To | Debating the Declaration for the Foundation of a League of Social Democratic Vanguards |
| Message | Moreover, the LCV does not take into account the greater international situation. The forces of the Working class movement have not yet taken hold globally, we merely rush on as a collapsed slave economy, in which an Asiatic style of production replaces slavery at the hands of the the Communists. |
