Brothers of the 1848 revolution, (who voted anarchist)
Have you already forgotten our goals of world socialism in our brief moment of triumph? Have you forgotten that Socialism is an unceasing revolutionary force? currently sweeping the German lands with the speed of a hurricaine and the force of a thunderbolt? How can we rest on our laurels when so little has been accomplished?

We must seize the initiative and unite the German peoples under socialism, we must depose the ruling class by force, first Germany, then Europe, then Russia, the Americas, the Orient, we shall not rest until the entire world is free of the bourgeoisie and united under world socialism, to accept nothing less is to reject the very tenets Socialism is based on, to reject what our fellow brothers have fought and died for!

World socialism will not be achieved through strengthening the power of the unions and the bourgeoisie, but through Iron and Blood! Repent either now my "brothers" or repent at the gallows!
 
The Revolution is not through violence alone but through achieving the great society and allowing all People to see that it is great. The oppressors of the world cannot hide success here in our country, but we must avoid wasting our efforts on useless efforts. We cannot allow our enemies to be able to say that we cannot even achieve equality and prosperity in our own lands as an argument to avoid spreading the system to their lands.
 
Bah! Revolution is an act of violence, who can deny that it was through force of arms that we have arrived at where we are today? Besides we are already considered a pariah among the reactionary regimes which surround us, how can we possibly reduce our armed forces at this most crucial of all times?

Also how can we achieve prosperity by increasing the power of the unions instead of investing in better healthcare?, comrade surely you aren't trying to create a new ruling class to replace the old?
 
My vote must lie with my German Socialist comrades, for they alone shall not only force the oppressive bourgeois from this country on the pain of death or joining the righteous masses, but shall guard against them from rising again! Now, our anarchist comrades made important contributions to the glorious birth of our new nation, but economic consolidation is not the key to our survival! We are surrounded by hostile powers who wish to see this utopia wiped from the face of the continent! We must wait for a weak neighbor to fall from the grace of these Great Powers, and then we shall strike! Uniting the great German people under the banner of Socialism shall make the ruling classes tremble in terror at their own oppressed populace! We shall unify Germany, then unify the world!

Workers of all countries, unite!
 
Marxists
 
This is all going very well. We're having a nice bit of debate (mostly about the issue of foriegn policy) and no one has even come close to pushing any of the rules. :)

If things continue like this then this AAR will continue for along time. :D

The voting has also been remarkably close with none of the 3 factions with votes (I bet Eccarius and the Trade Unionists are crying right now :p).

So far we've had 18 votes.

Current Poll:

Marxists - 7 votes

Socialists - 6 votes

Anarchists - 5 votes

At this stage any of these factions could win.
 
I vote for the German Socialists. Their socialism is tempered with a bit more humanity than that of the Marxists and their foreign policy realizes the truth that the Republic is weak, surviving on the sufferance of the Great Powers - growth is a necessity for survival and only opportunistic growth is available.
 
Collectivist Anarchists

The country cannot afford war at the present time. It must grow in peace, lest a belligerent policy provide the Capitalist powers with an excuse to align against us.
 
Vote Anarchists.
 
German Socialists

On the subject of your breakdown of the population into classes, surely clerks & bureaucrats should be petite bourgeois. Would this be 'lower middle class' in UK terms???
