Blood and Iron - An Interactive Prussian AAR

[Mr. Sometimes]

The FVP will protect our workers and maintain our industries, as they have done with great success during the last financial crisis!

The gates of labour are opened by the FVP!

[Contravarius]

So...

FVP: 8
DAP: 4
DDP: 4
SPD: 1
DNVP: 3
DZP: 4
KPD: Whooping 0 votes for the commies, yay.

Also, can someone do a recount, I might have missed a vote or two.

((EDIT: Updated the poll. FVP had even more votes, I guess. This is absolute bull, I must say.))

EDIT, again: I must say, I'm quite amused by all this radicalism that has been popping out all over the place, and even better, the left wing is so terribly weak, only one vote for the SPD! We are closer, than ever!

((This is what the OP says:



Take it as you will, though I'm sure Tommy will swing by and give a definitive answer in due time. ))

At the moment there have already been 23 votes, the sort of figure I'd expect at this point. So don't think the large numbers of posts is effecting voting that much if a all. Things certainly haven't got to the point where I think I should intervene.

EDIT: the above poll is correct, except the FVP have 8 rather than 7 votes as it stands.

Frau Howard, if you wish to claim the successes - though few and far between - of the old liberal parties of Germany, you must also claim their failures - many and terrible though they were. Let us never forget the Kulturkampf! Never has there been a more zealous supporter of destroying the true faith than the liberal.

Lest not forget the revolution of 1848 and the Frankfurt assembly. This was made possible by the liberals, and it was first now the ideas a unified Germany came. And it was under liberal leadership that Germany was indeed unified. Let us not forget that when it was just Prussia, the conservatives were against the ideas of a unified Germany since they were opposed to the ideas of liberty, freedom and nations based on culture amd ethnics rather than aristocracy.

The flag of oppression? The flag of feudalism? The flag of a split Germany?

I would like to remind you that our tricolor, the black, red and gold, are the flag that was first used a symbol for a unified Germany. It was these liberals who wanted to unite Germany, and it is these colors that are the German colors. And I would like to remind you that it was the same Prussian and other German elite and aristocrats who opposed a unified Germany. Germany could have been unified by Liberals in 1848 but your beloved Prussian King rejected that! It was also the liberals who later unified Germany.

Black, Red and Gold are the true German colors!

The flag of civilisation, order, and unity.

Germany was united only when the time was right, under the firm and benevolent hand of unser geliebter Kaiser and the guiding light of the Crown. No matter the extent to which blackguardist liberals such as yourselves like to imagine, Germany could only ever have been united, strong, and prosperous under her monarchy. Cast your golden words at the feet of those progressive idols so greedily revered by you and your parasitic race. The German people will soon restore their strength and safeguard.

Germany was only finally unified under the Centre - there is no Germany without Austria.
Don't be mistaken though, I do not deny that liberals started the process of unification. In fact, I have nothing against liberals. There are many good liberals in the FVP, as there were in the DZP of yore.

Also, in light of the poll: God be praised, there is a majority for the old christian democratic parties! We have not seen such a glorious turn since the days of the Reich!

No the Prussian (and German in general) aristocracy was opposed to a unified Germany Just look at the national assembly im 1848, the Prussian King (may God have mercy on his soul) rejected the crown. And in the election before the unification of Kleiner-Deutschland the conservatives, Junkers and Prussian elite were against the ideas of a Germany.

SPD please

 

[Mr. Sometimes]

The days of Bismarck and von Forchenbeck seems like a lifetime ago...

Also, in light of the poll: God be praised, there is a majority for the old christian democratic parties! We have not seen such a glorious turn since the days of the Reich!

I still hold a vain, vague hope that the DZP will be given little or no power in the coming government.

Weak? The FVP are leading the polls, my good man!

 

[Contravarius]

Weak? The FVP are leading the polls, my good man!

So, you consider FVP to be leftist party, my dear friend?
Well... I guess so... I would've considered them more of a "radical liberal" and less of a truly leftist force.
And, to be completely honest, it's all the same anti-paperhatist opposition to us, anyways- liberals, leftists, jews, marxists, jews, jews.

Down with the Internationale!
Vote Deutschnational!​

 

[Gen. Marshall]

Can't you damn Socialists ever do anything at the right time?

SPD

 

[Harpsichord]

FVP seems to have plenty of votes, so SPD this election I feel.

 

[DensleyBlair]

So, you consider FVP to be leftist party, my dear friend?

No, that's not what I said at all – assuming your use of the term "leftist" is to signify some sort of affiliation with communism or socialism.. Left wing, yes (and therefore, yes "leftist", seeing as the term just means a supporter of the left wing.) I think you'd be hard-pressed to call any radical liberal party anything other than left wing – relative to the time period, of course.

Yeah, yeah, sure. *scratches his paper hat*
We will purge you all the same.
...
Probably.

EDIT: Also, never argue with a liberal/leftist/whatever-the-hell-you-are over liberalism/leftism/whatever-the-hell-you-follow. Just shoot them.

The cross is the only true symbol of Germany.

Hehe. But you could use this flag, as it was the crusader flag of the HRE/German crusaders.

The old ways are calling...

Answer their call!
