Can someone please tell me why we should extend the vote to illiterate peasants?

Let me remind you that the section of the republic mostly comprised of 'illiterate peasants' managed to see them saving it from the coup ran by such 'intellectually highminded' people as Blanqui.

Not to nitpick, but wasn't it the people of Cologne that Kadon stirred into a frenzy? That would mean it is the urban proletariat that saved us, not the farmers, who were still out in the countryside, not in Cologne. I'm fine with extending the vote to the farmers, but I don't think it's accurate to say they saved us from the coup, unless I'm misremembering.

Not to mention our Wallonian soldiers that kept reinforcements to come to Blanqui's aid.

I support the extension of the voting rights to them because i believe that everyone should participate in all decisions that affect him in forms of local comunities, labor unions and even elected constitutional assembly if there is no other way. If we won'tlet all the citizens of our Republic to participate on the decision making, we are creating another rulling class. But not of kings, popes and capitalists but in form of bureaucrats and self-proclaimed "proletarian" ideologists.

Uhm, sorry but wasn't it the Marxists who brought the Walloons into the V.S.V.R.?

I thought it was the Weitling and the German Socialists?
 
And then the next election was about deciding to keep them in the V.S.V.R. or not right?

Though anyways, I've made my point clear, the Anarchists had nothing to do with
bringing the walloons into the V.S.V.R. like that poster does.

Yes, I switched from German Socialists to the Marxists in that election as they were the only faction in favour of keeping Wallonia in the VSVR. Maybe my memory isn't as bad as I thought...

Welcome to a Free Press. Analysing the poster a little closer though, it says "Bringing the Waloons into the Republic as a constituent in their own right" rather than just "Bringing the Waloons into the Republic". I believe the OP (mislock i think) is drawing attention to anarchist policies towards the Waloons after they had been brought into the Republic rather than before.
 
Well, it's still a misleading poster IMO.
 
The Volker Beobachter is a publication printed in Cologne by an independant press. The opinions expressed within it's pages are those of the editor and nobody else. The Volker Beobachter considers it's pursuit of truth as one of the main reasons it has such a high readership.
 
How many farmers are there compared to proletariats?

There are currently 5.6 million voting proletarians. There are 5.85 million farmers and 490k artisans. So with the farmers alone your doubling the voters, if both get added then the farmers will make up just under half of the total vote. It shall change the shape of politics.

Looking at the population stats I've discovered something quite impressive. Most provinces have around 3-10% craftsmen with Rhineland, Westphalia (original provs) and some of the provs I've had NFed for a while slightly above that. Again there are some with a little bit bellow that. However the Ruhr blows everything else out of the water. 32% craftsmen it contains just over 1/4 of all the craftsmen in the Republic - the Ruhr truly is the greatest industrial territory on earth. Long live the power of the craftsmen NF!

That's awesome!

And I want to echo the others; great AAR Tommy4ever! Konnigratz comment shows just that, you have people thinking about your AAR when they're supposed to be out living their real lives :)

Now your suffering from the same problem as me :eek:o

I was reading about Bukharin today and rather than thinking about how to fit him into my essay I was thinking about how he'll shake up the VSVR. :p

There not quite illiterate ...

The average German farmer is more literate than the average Flemish or Walloon urban worker.

Cool picture mislock!

They were annexed in the first 5 years of play under the German Socialists (remember when they were a competitive force in elections?) and later their position within the Republic was guarunteed by the Marxists. I'm not sure what mislock meant when he said that the Walloons were made more a constituent part of the Republic though.

I've also just finished doing to Workers' Vote - of course I'll keep the results to myself for now.

Finally here's a poll:

United Front: 19
Anarchists: 14
Marxists: 11
 
Wouldn't it be Völkischer Beobachter? :rolleyes:

Do your research - I know what I meant

As for the discussion RE: making them part of the republic - the Anarchists were the only multilingual force, and have been the most inclusive of all the platforms toward the Wallonian and to point, all the ethnic minorities present in the country.

I know my German is not perfect, but Völker Beobachter does not sound very good in my ears.
I am not German, I am Finnish.
Pardon my mistakes.

Entschuldigung, hab nie diese zwei Wörter so zusammen gesehen. Hab Grammatik nie gut gelernt...


Tommy, can we know how the actual real people in the game think?
What issues do they have? Not that they matter. :p
