There is at least one significant difference between the VSVR and the Imperialists. The Imperialists look to Africa and see resources. The VSVR looks to Africa and sees customers.

I must admit I find this idea appealing, I hereby nominate Kadon for the Frontline position of Secretary-general for Afrika.
This election might indeed be the most important in the history of our revolution. One man has come offering a wonderous paradise if we make him king. But we have already overthrown many kings. We don't need kings! We don't want kings! Resist Lenin and join the true Anarchist revolution!
Must the anarchists resort to branding every prospective Marxist chairman a tyrant? It would be wonderful if our chairmen were allowed to prove themselves before being declared to be enemies of the revolution. Cease the scaremongering, comrades, and focus on winning through the strength of your own policies!
Okay, genug mit dem Scheiß. Ich habe auf einmal das Bedürfnis Klopapier kaufen zu gehen.
Marx mag wohl den Weg alles Irdischen gehen, aber Engels dagegen nicht.
Etliche unserer Genossen an der Technischen Universität Köln arbeiten zur Zeit an einem Projekt, welches dafür sorgen wird.
Projekt: Engels-Cyborg-2000
I scream, you scream,
U-U-U-UNITED-FRONT!
Vote for them.
Enough with the German already This is an English-speaking forum after all. I even think forum rules prohibits talking (writing) in other languages.

Yes.
From now on could people stop conversing in languages other than English.
Thank you.
Damnit, I saw latest post was from you and thought the next episode was out. Such crushing dissapointment.
I cast my vote for the Anarchists while there's still time!
We don't yet know what Lenin's faction has in store for us, and so I'll refrain from making accusations, but it seems clear to me that we can't allow Lenin a clear majority, at least certainly not without compromise.

I cast my vote for the Moderates.
I've grown tired of war...for now. We have grown strong in war, but have we grown stronger in character? Grown better? I'm not sure.
I think we need a little time to slow down...but not stop like the United Front asks us to do.
These social reforms are needed badly. Civil war has drawn us away from them, but I say it's time to put workers' safety back on the agenda! Let no man be made lame and unable to work because we failed to look after his safety on the job! Safety standards need to be expanded and enforced, not overlooked because of expense or effort involved!
Industrialization must not be achieved at a cost of bodies. Let the worker's safety take priority!

@ Koniggratz:
I'm not opposed to every Marxist leader, I quite liked Engles who while UF started a Marxist and was largely a moderate Marxist. Didn't much like Marx, but he was a good leader and the Anarchists have not attacked him much except when he asked Blanqui to kill them. The problems are Blanqui and Lenin. They operate outside official Party functions, and have personal power and personal followings. This together with their ambition makes them dangerous. It also calls the purity of their intentions into question.
As pertains to this election, Anarchists are far from alone in making Lenin the issue. How many Marxist-Leninist votes have noted how interesting it would be to have Marx, Engles and Lenin as leaders. Despite not coming up in as a major issue in the "official election post" Lenin's candidacy is an issue in this forum.
As a supporter of the Anarchists and UF I think the best government would be a coalition of the two (likely with the moderates if necessary). The one hope for this happening is a relatively poor showing for the ML among the workers, and a strong showing for any of the parties above. Since the ML is projected to be disinclined toward a coalition the Anarchists, UF and Moderates might pull off a surprising upset. Though this seems sadly unlikely.

There is always a hope of an anti-Lenin coalition by which all comrades opposed to the Lenin's dictatorship join together in a single voice of unison to reject their nations. This would be possible if only we could lure all the moderates to oppose the Marxist-Leninists.
It doesn't make much sense to start calling things dictatorships when the faction has not even taken power yet and you have yet to see the actual type of rule they provide. Lenin in this AAR could be very different from Lenin in reality. In fact, I'd argue that the extremely different circumstances (already well-established Socialist Republic with an established system of government v. fledging USSR that he could shape to his will) make it very unlikely for Lenin to even think he would be able to take absolute power. It's a bit easier from someone to become a dictator of a nation when they helped lead the revolution that created said nation than it is for someone to become a dictator of an already well-established nation.
Fair point. I guess it's up to Tommy how Lenin goes. Though if he becomes a dictator, don't say the anarchists didn't warn you!
Fair enough, although considering the interactivity of this AAR depends on us being able to vote, I don't think Tommy will go that far towards a dictatorship. Although, you never know.
And it's highly debateable - in my opinion anyway - if you can call the USSR under Lenin a dictatorship in the bourgeoise meaning, i.e. a personal dictatorship. Everything really changed with Stalin.
Ack, sorry Tommy, no harm meant.
We were just having a very in-character discussion.
Considering the background of this specific AAR and the fact that many people were using some german here and there, I thought that it would be okay.
I'll from now on refrain from using exotic tongues in this thread.

Don't worry. I didn't mind when people were just posting a phrase or motto in German. But when people started to make whole posts in German it became a bit of an issue.
Its just that niether me, many of the readers or most of the moderators understand German but we all understand English.
Just 40 minutes to go. A few votes could very well change how thing turn out in this election.
