eejack Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I am really confused. I am not sure what Julio Franco has to do with Cuba. I thought he was from the Dominican Republic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Virginia Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Please stop using "Francoism" for your benefit. It's pathetic and shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what Francoism is. Indeed. Francoism is and always has been whatever Vladimir said it is, and dependent on the current needs of the Order. I sincerely hope that Tywin will refrain from mocking the deeply and long-held beliefs of the Pacific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groucho Marx Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Please stop using "Francoism" for your benefit. It's pathetic and shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what Francoism is. The only fundamental understanding about "Francoism" anyone needs to know is that it is a pseudo-philosophy that can mean whatever you want it to at any given time for any reason. Even rubber bands aren't that flexible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Kiloist Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Tywin, you say you are familiar with Francoism... So you must remember the quote "the point is not to discuss the world, but to change it" you do a lot of discussing and no changing tbh.

Â I've done some changing within my alliance, but there is only so much one can do. The one good thing that might come out of this situation is that people might become interested in the history and roots of our world, and I think even my detractors can agree that would be a good thing.

Williambonney Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 http://cybernations.wikia.com/wiki/Francoism I think for some its more than just required reading. I know there are a great many Pacificans out there just as myself that follow Francoism and serve NPO well, and for them I give a grand o/ For the rest that choose a different path I cannot hold a grudge, nor enforce Francoism upon anyone.

Starcraftmazter Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I would find an actual challenge to what I write interesting, but few have the will or intelligence to make it happen.

Spartacus1082 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Cuba, if there is anything to make you rethink this crusade of yours, it should be this. I would never do anything that would result in Tywinn writing open letters to me and blathering on about madness.  I don't have the sanity. If there's anything upsetting about this thread it's that I have to agree with Starfox. I'm never supposed to agree with Starfox.  So know that Rota got bitchslapped into next week Tywin's stepping up? At least he uses his big boy words.

Â Considering the path NPO took from 2008 to 2009 I would say a great many Pacifican officials had no clue about Francoism, regardless of rank. In fact Imperial Officers in particular seemed to have a hard time understanding Francoism, as revealed by the fellow Francoist Al Kassad. The story he shared in Vox explains how Pacifica began to turn away from Francoism towards outright Imperialism during the reign of Moo, especially around the time of the Moldavi Rebellion.

I'm sorry, Space Cadet, but Francoism does not exist even as a pseudo-philosophy. There are no fixed principles, not original ideas or synthesized thoughts. It is merely a word tossed around by Vladimir whenever the NPO needs to justify the unjustifiable. Sure, most people will see it for what it is, but there are enough fools and madmen around who will swallow it hook, line, and sinker that it is still worthy of the arsenal. Which are you?

Sure, most people will see it for what it is, but there are enough fools and madmen around who will swallow it hook, line, and sinker that it is still worthy of the arsenal. Which are you?  You are a perpetual broken record, but allow me to try to enlighten you in the absence of the forerunners.  Francoism is the analysis of material conditions that predates our world and arrived from the August Revolution in The Pacific over a decade ago. Francoism is an analysis that endorses the post-revolutionary society, and furthermore, provides a template for a successful alliance and hegemony.  Francoism posits the following:  *That Chaos is the State of Nature and the normal state of affairs among Nations *That in the State of Nature, Nations are at constant war and unable to achieve their full potential *That Ordered Anarchy allows Nations to escape the State of Nature without resulting in class warfare *That groups of Nations establish Ordered Anarchy from Chaos by surrendering National sovereignty to an alliance government *That multiple alliances form a civilization by respect the sovereignty of other alliances and adopting common legal practices *That a unicultural civilization, also called a Hegemony, is capable of granting all Nations Freedom of Potential *That to preserve the unicultural civilization, war must be waged against incompatible, anti-Order philosophies like lulzism  It also posits concepts like democratic autocracy, where all power and all will is voiced through one strong leader, and that this form of alliance government is the most efficient in nature. This is why NPO began to leave the path of Francoism when the Imperial Officers became too powerful and the Emperor too weak. It lead to the adoption of Imperialism and the abuse of Pacifican authority, leading to the Vox Populi revolution.  Another important fact is that Francoism seeks class unity through cultural unity and rejects the dominance of a Userite class over a Feederite class, or a bourgeois class over a proletarian class. Thus, for Ordered Anarchy to work, everyone must be on the same page, adopting the same common practices. The predominant form of civilization has always been Francoist, represented by traditions brought over from the forerunners of The Pacific such as the mutual defense pact, the alliance charter, and the recognition of alliance sovereignty.  When this is fully understood, it becomes clear why so-called liberal thinking is inherently incompatible with the civilization represented in most traditional alliances today. This dangerous thought process championed by some like DBDC leads back to chaos, class warfare and the destruction of civilization as we know it.
