Description[?]:
The Benevolent Totalitarian Party believes that absolute state power should be embraced, not feared. All the great achievements of the human race that have stood the test of time - such as the wonders of the ancient world, for example - were created by all-powerful governments. Countries where the state held absolute power have been the most stable and long-lasting in history, and they often stood as beacons of culture and civilization. Whenever the power of the state weakened, decadence and collapse followed. The Benevolent Totalitarian Party considers it very unfortunate that the experiences of the 20th century have scared people away from totalitarian ideals. There is a widespread belief that power corrupts, or that absolute power is somehow inherently evil. That is not true. Absolute power is a tool, which can be good or bad depending on who is using it. Over two millenia ago, the great philosopher Plato proposed a method for ensuring that political leaders are immune to corruption and truly dedicate themselves to their job: They are to be educated from childhood in a spirit of honour and moral strength, and, after a lifetime of education, they are to become Philosopher-Kings at the age of 50. The Benevolent Totalitarian Party wishes to implement such a system of governance, and create a totalitarian society in which the people serve the state and the state guides the nation to prosperity and glory. The Benevolent Totalitarian Party does not shy away from openly proclaiming unpopular viewpoints such as the belief that dissenters and enemies of the state should be either imprisoned or executed. At the same time, it condemns arbitrary rule in all its forms. One of the greatest flaws of totalitarian governments during the 20th century was that they used their power arbitrarely, often imprisoning or executing people who were innocent of any crimes against the state. This would not happen under a government of the Benevolent Totalitarian Party. We wish to create strict laws for both rulers and ruled, and ensure that only true enemies of the state are punished, while those who do not dissent are rewarded for their loyalty. In terms of the conventional Left-Right political spectrum, the Benevolent Totalitarian Party is neither Left nor Right. We oppose the Left because it is made up of liberation movements of the lower classes, who seek to overthrow authority and hierarchy and establish some form of equality in their place. This runs contrary to totalitarian principles, which reject equality and uphold authority and hierarchy. On the other hand, we also oppose the Right, because it is far too attached to traditionalist beliefs and seeks to preserve the current social order - in other words, the current forms of authority and hierarchy - instead of trying to forge new and better ones. Having said that, we are aware of the fact that the two most successful totalitarian movements of recent times - Fascism and Stalinism - had their origins in Right or Left ideology, so we might be able to find some common ground with political parties of those persuasions. We do encourage them, however, to abandon the baggage of Right and Left and to embrace pure totalitarianism, as we have. "All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state!" AUTHORITY - HIERARCHY - LOYALTY The flag of the Benevolent Totalitarian Party can be seen here: http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y195/benspec/BTP_flag.gif The symbol of the Benevolent Totalitarian Party is the Eye of Horus (seen at the centre of the flag). |

Random fact: Any RP law granting extraordinary "emergency powers" or dictator-like powers to a government must be passed by at least a 2/3rds majority, but (like all RP laws) may always be overturned by a simple majority vote of the legislature. |
