Bill: Orthodox Manifesto: Military
Details
Submitted by[?]: Heij'ibadejogadé Hjadjogad
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: August 4301
Description[?]:
| The Orthodox Alliance believes that a centralized military force is the clearest expression of monarchism. A centralized army has a chain of command and a pyramidal structure, and is thus a mirror image of the power that monarchs express through themselves and their aristocratic lackeys. In order to break free from the sin of monarchism, we must begin with our armed forces. Replacing the unitary army with decentralized militias, coordinating their actions but not answering to no one, is the clearest expression of republican ideals and is fully in agreement with nature. |
