After the atrocities in Andalusian Kongo, the Imperialists are even worse than the reactionaries. Socialism is the only moral choice

I don't see why you all are so worked up over what's happening in Congo. What's happening in Congo is rubber, tropical wood, and other exotic resources are entering our economy. Why would anyone be unhappy about that? What's a hand here or a famine there, in the long run?

Not to advocate on behalf of the shortsighted fools who would throw away everything we've worked for, but the same could be said for the horrific practices of Morocco. We must aim to be better than them, or else why were we put on this Earth? Surely we can expropriate a massive amount of value without being monsters about it.

We pay out workers in the colonies. Morocco enslaves theirs. It is our morale obligation to defeat them and strip them of their possessions

I think that you'll find that killing and robbing people of their resources and starving their families is a very bad thing. Right? That's why the reactionaries need to be in power so that they can protect the innocent hard working nobility from the unjust, rapacious communists and socialists that seek to "eat the rich." Cannibalistic dogs!

Ah, good to see someone else that see's the truth of why we need The Royalists back in POWER! Look, the so called lawmakers who have been leading our people away from good Royal rule, their laws are going to be overturned and the Sultan will have his power back, mark my words people! Also I don't see the Viezier denying that he looks like he comes from Libya! Crowsbeak fucked around with this message at 22:23 on Aug 14, 2018 |

It is our morale obligation to defeat them and strip them of their possessions although the currency in which we pay them often tends to be human hands the best part is even after we go red, socialist theories of the economic value of labor could be taken a bit too literally and the practice of chopping off the means of production and using them as currency could continue. this is a weird paragraph edit: may as well vote for the Socialists while I'm at it

My only fear with socialists is that we would have to adapt to a smaller army midwar, since I believe their policies are anti-large standing army. That'd be pretty bad if a unit stops reinforcing when we need it.

I am very concerned about the number of socialist votes being cast in here. Here we are about to crush our hated enemy and finally reclaim all of our ancient homeland, and there you are trying to switch over control of the government to a bunch of reds who are anti military and may very well belly up to Morocco if the war takes just a bit too long. Y'all are a bunch of Morocco loving traitors is what you are.

I, Balanabus, have faithfully carried out my orders to subdue the congo basin and mozambique. I have done it with the utmost zeal and efficiency. I have brought these natives religion and enlightenment, steel and railroads, science and medicine. What this book doesn't understand and what the Majlis is blind to is that I treat the savages with the utmost care and affection. They are as children to me, and sometimes children need to be punished, lest they grow complacent and spoiled. Would you rather the Moroccans turn them into mere slaves, rather than faithful servants of the Andalusi state? Khedive is an excellent title for a caretaker such as myself, someone to rule in the place of the Majlis. After all, will it not be I who must defend these colonies? Will it not be the blood of my men that preserves what was gained through the very same? Give me these titles, give me this autonomy, and I will make Andalusi Africa as a city on a hill, a shining example of civilization arising from savagery, light from darkness. This city will be beset by greedy scavengers, and I will defend it as its savior!

Clearly the problem with the colonies is that such ruffians are in charge, not the concept of colonialism in and of itself. Fire the khedives and centralize control. Maybe we could name our fair monarch the Sultan of the Congo?

Imperialists. We've had our first period of actual prosperity and growth in almost 200 years. Also, every time I've seen the socialists take over in one of these LPs, the entire country falls into a spiral of chaos and death.

Royalists. The socialists are traitors who’d gleefully see our position weaken internationally on pursuit of a ludicrous happy-go-lucky attitude towards governance. They’ve openly admitted to considering the possibility of allowing Morocco to retain its land on the peninsula, and more importantly, any update with the socialists in charge will be utterly boring. No colonialism, no wars, just jerking ourselves off as we slip into into isolationism and let the Moroccans once again become a grave threat. Bloody socialists.
