Talk:Socialists

Hold on... Socialism is a politcal ideology and social structure. How could a non-autonomous organisation affiliated to a society following chivalrous and fuedalistic ideas be socialist? And if the King wanted to form an organisation to promote socialism, why not convert the kingdom to socialism and appoint it as it's defence force? I'd imagine that it would actually have to be a political party in opposition to fuedalism as opposed to one supporting it. What I'm trying to get at here is that the Army itself couldn't be socialist; either it would have to be in the employ of or in control of a socialist country or a force that actively promotes socialism.

And as a further note, I'd like to see who came up with the theory of socialism in Gielinor in the first place.

Yours politically,

 * When the organisation was formed, it didn't have that name. When the General took over, he had new ideas and wanted to promote them, and renamed the group. I would say that the General didn't create socialism, but when someone else in Gielinor did, he misinterpreted the idea and became slowly corrupt with power.

Oh, I see. So like the Bolsheviks, then? Yes, I know the allusions are Nazism-directed, but 'National Socialism' was very right-wing, and didn't follow socialist ideas anyway. Whereas Lenin (who I suppose would be equivalent of the General) of the Bolshevik party was both socialist in ideology and name, although he supported the use of terror. I'm a bit of an expert on communism, by the way.
