Yes it has, it's the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, passed by Congress in 1947. Here's more information.

But this is off-topic, so we shouldn't get caught up in it.

EDIT: You meant it hasn't been signed into law in 1865, didn't you? My bad, I feel stupid now.

Ya, he did, although all of the presidents up to FDR only served one or two terms anyways, so I don't think it really even matters.
 
Anarchist Zeal

Response to the so called "Unity" paper:


Comrades, these UCers call for all workers to unite. The one thing we ask, is what about the farmers? The artisans? Don't they toil and shed blood too? The farmers are the ones who feed us. The artisans are the ones who build with their own hands. Comrades, do they not deserve revolution too? The Collective Anarchist Party says yes they do! A vote for the Anarchists is a vote for all. A vote for liberty for all.
 
Anarchist Zeal
A Reformed Socialist's Thoughts

And here I am again in another edition of the Zeal. I am here to talk of one thing, and one thing only; why are the farmers and the artisans excluded from the vote? From tasting the same delicious democracy the rest of us do?

The lot of them say that it's because they are petty bourgeouisie; men who are little better than the capitalists who stepped on the worker constantly. But they are far more similiar to us than the Marxists, the Centralists, and even some of those United Cooperationists would have you believe. They make little more than us; the true dastardly capitalists reign over them just as they do any other worker, constantly hounding them and using whatever dirty methods they can in order to destroy them so that their customers will have to come to them. They make little more than any other worker does. I see not how those bourgeouis dogs think that the farmer and the artisan are not true bourgeouisie like the rest of us.

These men labour just as hard as any of us, they fought in the Revolution as hard as any of us, and they know the same kinds of evils as any of us, and yet their right to live free is compromised simply by the little bit more money they acquire through their profession.

Alas, this is sad, but it is the state of things.
S.T.
 
I vote for The German Socialists.

I did not see anything in the Anarchist faction policy regarding the farmers and artisans. Though I do agree with you, the farmers deserve a say in our nation. The petty bourgeois though is up for discussion, as they are supposed to be integrated over time into the proletariat. So the rights will be given to them eventually.

I fully agree that the farmers deserve to be part of the workers vote and the syndicalist faction will continually work for this as it has been part of our demands since the republics start. We do however believe that the young anarchists approach is wrong

As soon as the election is over we will concentrate on this particular issue by starting a campaign to unionise the farmer collectives. Already a large group of our young comrades have chosen to leave the cities to agitate and pass leaflets among them.

When we have enough influence among the agricultural workers, we will, with other sympathisers call for demonstrations - in all the major cities with demand that the workers vote shall be extended to the farmers.

If these demands are not met we will call for A general strike indefinitely until the demands is meet. We can see no reasen why any true anarchist or Marxist should oppose us - the peasants are workers just like you and me comrade!

Yes, I did.

You know, for a newspaper which is technically illegal, the Anarchist Zeal gets quite a large circulation as opposed to the official State Paper, which is suspiciously absent.
 
Comrades, let us not forget that it was the German Volk that brought the revolution, the German Volk that are the bedrock of our republic. Blanqui and the AKVD have accomplished great strides for the revolution but at what cost. Let us not forget the bloodshed of the purges of the 50's or the countless proletarians forced into wars they did not choose. Then there is Marx, who fails to educate the masses and denies them their views. He buys fools with his policies while denying them thought. He is no different than the bourgeoisie that buys their worker's loyalty. Now he shows his true colors in opposition to the true revolution of the Young Anarchists. The German Volk did not throw off one set of tyrants for others in the guise of revolutionaries. The way is clear, however the election goes, Blanqui and Marx cannot be tolerated.

Once the cancer of these dictators is removed we should ally ourselves with the German Socialists, in spreading the revolution as the people desire and where it is wanted. It is a shame that they are still trust those that seek to deceive and oppress our republic.

(Question: What has become of the traditional nationalist-socialist strain that was crucial to the original revolution. Such a group would not support the concept of stateless proletariat, but rather states ruled by their proletariats. Hence border areas should be subjugated to the German Volk, or set up as satellites. This seems to have been part of the German Socialists as well as the now defunct Unionists, but has never found much expression since 1855. Did it die with the Unionist? If Blanqui is purged will his treatment of the Church be reexamined?)

Well, so far we've had the right wing and center positions laid out by Kadon and myself. Someone could write an article from the Marxist perspective to give us that good old state press feeling.

I've noticed in this election that a couple of the more vocal Anarchist supporters have been putting forward ideas and implying that they are part of the Anarchist platform when these ideas are in fact absent from the actual platform. Namely it is this charge that they are the only platform that will provide the vote to the farmers and artisans, when in fact, their platform mentions nothing about them. It's a bit misleading to the voters, who may vote based on these posts, thinking that they are achieving political rights for the farmers/artisans, when in fact the Anarchist platform will do nothing of the sort.

As such, I think it's a fair request that individuals do not imply that a platform supports (or opposes) an idea unless it explicitly does so in Tommy4Ever's platform post. It's unfair to those that have not voted yet to convince them that they are voting for an idea when in fact, the platform they are voting for does not include that idea.

I agree. Though if they personally do wish to extend it in future elections, they could explicitly state that it is their personal opinion and not that of their party, like I did in my post regarding that in an earlier post.

Yes, and that is perfectly fine, I have no problem with that, it's just the misleading statements I take issue with.

Just a question Necazian, as Minorities Secretary do you have any shaping of party policy beyond what the rest of us have?
