CLOSED Nominate A Comrade

CLOSED

Hello good people of The Communist Bloc!

It's coming up my 4th year on NationStates, and to celebrate, I'd like to run a little competition!

So, starting today I'm running the Nominate a Comrade competition. The rules of the game are you may nominate 1 (one) person within The Communist Bloc who you believe has positively contributed to your being in the region. You must include a reason why this Comrade is an outstanding example of a citizen or resident within the Bloc, and how they are a shining example of the values of The Bloc. This person must have been in the Bloc longer than 1 month (30 days) and must be endorsing our World Assembly Delegate. You cannot nominate yourself.

It will be judged by myself (so no nominating me!) based on the information you provide, and the prize will be 2 Legendary Cards to the nominee. If your nominee was chosen, you will also receive a Legendary Card (should multiple people nominate the same person, I'll pick a name out of a hat). To nominate somebody, simple telegram myself with the following information!

Name of Comrade nominated:
Reason for nomination:
Examples:

Winner will be announced at some point during Christmas Eve- 24th December (UTC)

Good luck everyone!
Martyn Kiryu
Radicalania
First Minister of The Communist Bloc

Nations who nominate themselves will not be counted.
The winning legendaries are 3 which I own and will pick. You may not get the legendary you want. If you would like a card that is a non-legendary, please ask upon winning and I will work towards getting you that card instead, subject to availability and cost.
Nations are encouraged not to nominate Bloc officials: this is all about the citizens and residents of the Bloc.
Winners are final and will not be changed.
Winners have 3 days (72 hours) from winning to send me the nation they'd like their cards sending to via Telegram if that information is not included in their application.
Submissions must be made in English.

Current Nominees

Name of Comrade nominated: Norusmark
Reason for nomination:I would like to nominate norusmark for helping me learn about the game when I first joined. It is a shame he cannot nominate me because I am less than a month old (I think) but still he is very kind and a good friend. Also I love his language he made up.
Nominated by Rhudiland

Name of Comrade nominated: Dynamic revolution

Reason for nomination: Dynamic Revolution has been a great comrade to have in The Communist Bloc. During Dynamic Revolution's stay in this region, he/she had always responded with clear information to a newcomer to the Bloc. He/She frequently engages in the RMB actively with civility even if the others' posts were not as reasonable. Dynamic Revolution has also been a great respondent to others' posts as he/she shown tolerance to understand the question(s) posted by fellow comrades in the Bloc regarding socialist ideas/ideologies and so forth. By listing the relevant answers to a long post, the misunderstandings can be cleared up one-by-one and it also helps others (certainly myself) to be clear about the true meaning of a topic as well as display out wide the virtues of socialism.

Examples: Dynamic Revolution has made clear of comrade Rothnia's post that questions whether having compulsory military service is reactionary. To this, our dearest comrade responded by explaining that having compulsory military service is not an issue, provided that comrades do not boast that they have the largest National Military in the region which constitutes reactionary patriotism. Furthermore, Dynamic Revolution points out that the Bloc is (by in large) classless. As a region, we should support the well-commended Red Fleet in our mission to liberate the working class in other regions and nations. Then, Dynamic Revolution further proceeds to clear up some misunderstandings posted by Ubertas regarding Rothnia's question by listing them numerically which I found enlightening.

Next, the over 10 billion-strong Dynamic Revolution also admitted that he/she may have caused a minor misunderstanding in terminology in a post, but proceeds to acknowledge selflessly that he/she was in a way structured part of a post wrongly and agree with the reply by a fellow comrade (who is now ejected). Dynamic Revolution then went on to make clear that (in numerical order): 1. anarchy (general definition)=Chaos Anarchy (Political definition)= A localized form of direct democracy, 2. Anarchism (the political ideology) requires the abolition of capitalism as it is inherently a vertical power structure, hence Right-Wing Anarchism is probably most synonymous with the modern usage of Libertarianism, and 3. Power vacuums are indeed created by Anarchy (political definition) and anarchy (general definition) allows for the fascists and reactionaries to seize power and enforce their preferred structure of racial superiority through violence. Hence, this is why the majority, he/she believes, of users here are actually not Anarchists, Libertarian Socialists, etc. as comrades here tend to skew more Marxist, Marxist-Leninist, Socialist, etc because we believe that the working class will need the power brought to bear by the "dictatorship of the proletariat" to protect themselves from these fascists and reactionaries.

Nominated by Pajonia

Name of Comrade nominated: Pajonia

Reason for nomination: Pajonia has been a very welcoming member of the community when I first joined the region. He has shown compassion and patience and has guided me and many other newcomers through the workings of the Bloc and has given amazing advice, not only regarding the region but also NationStates as a whole. I cannot thank him enough for his dedication and patience.

Examples: When I was still a newbie to TCB, I had just come back from a big hiatus on NS, and he gave me valuable advice on how to grow my economy as a socialist nation (which all socialist nations struggle with) and blessed me with many other nice tips. Up until this day, he's always as helpful and welcoming!

Nominated by: Asvalya

Name of Comrade nominated: Shamian

Reason for nomination: When I was a newcomer to the Bloc, recently elected to the Judiciary, I really had no idea what I was doing lol It was Tarrin who really guided and mentored me and showed me the way. I wouldn't be where I am in the Bloc today without Tarrin (and his perpetual sarcasm and snark lol). Tarrin has always been there, criticizing with sharp, insightful analyses, he is the best of the judiciary, Tarrin was my role model in the Bloc, I have nothing but heartfelt admiration for him. I just want to thank him for his long service and for getting me started in the Bloc.
