From a secret base in the Avaerilonian woods, this is The Revolutionary!
Gwatcyn: Welcome to the first ever broadcast of The Revolutionary featuring your favorite radio jockey, Gwatcyn! Today we shall hear from a few guests including a high ranking member of the Soldiers of Freedom (Shaighiúirí na saoirse) regarding recent activity by the pig-dog Avaerilonian authorities, not that there are any in the government who aren't pig-dogs.
*oh snap*
Well then, our first guest, hailing from what will be a glorious workers' state soon, Dunaemair...er, he's asked me to keep his identity hidden, but here he is!
*applause*
*voice obfuscated*
Member of SNS (MoSNS): Thank you for having me. I have come here to tell all Avaerilonians who will listen about what exactly happened at the raid that the Avaerilonian government has plastered the newspapers with. The so-called anonymous tip-offs were extracted from fellow patriots through torture. Waterboarding, humiliation, forcing them to stay awake for days with little to no food or water.
*gasp*
Yes, I know. The victims of the Avaerilonian regime told me that when the torture became more brutal, the torturers started laughing. I don't know what kind of people the Avaerilonian government hires, but these were among the most disgusting human beings - nay, I refuse to call them human beings because of what they did to my fellow comrades - they were among the most disgusting monsters that I have ever heard about. But the newspapers won't publish that; the government just won't release that kind of information because of "national security" of course. This is how they treat patriots.
Gwatcyn: Wo-
MoSNS: And I still haven't even reached the raid conducted by the Avaerilonian government. Does it not appear fishy that so-called terrorists would give up after only one was shot in the knee? Would people this radical honestly give up? I ask all who will listen that question and ask them to further question their government's reports.
Only with an educated and suspicious populace can a government be held in check. See, they have called their illegal invasion of an individual's home a "daring raid," as if it was some great scheme and they failed to mention the children (ages 2 through 7) who were residing in the home, who were also injured in the fire-fight. They said that a fire-fight was "almost instantaneous." I do not deny that a fire-fight occurred, but it was the security forces who shot first. There is much to be suspicious about when it comes down reading and listening to the mainstream media and government reports and I hope that you have listened.
Gwatcyn: This is all dreadful. How are those victims recovering?
MoSNS: One of the victims died earlier this morning and the other one is in critical condition in a SNS field hospital.
Gwatcyn: Well, may he recover soundly. Thank you for coming on.
MoSNS: No problem. Fight on comrades and do not let the government fool you.
*Member of SNS leaves*
Gwatcyn: Our next guest is a political scientist and economics who constantly criticizes the Avaerilonian government and has some choice words about where Avaerilon is headed. Please welcome Professor Abbott!
*applause*
Professor Abbott: Thank you for having me on. I was talking with that member of SNS before the show started and I really do feel bad for those rebels. I hope that the one who remains alive recovers speedily.
Gwatcyn: As do I. Now, Professor Abbott, you have written numerous critiques about the Avaerilonian government, and I mean several volumes worth of newspaper articles, books, etcetera. What brings you here today?
Prof. Abbott: I'm a republican, you know that and anyone who has heard of me tends to know that. With that down, I'm here to talk about the great "War of Worker Liberation" that People's Commissar Crumrine started against Logres, Avaerilon, and Azerzia.
Gwatcyn: Uh-huh, continue.
Prof. Abbott: Now, this war is great for the Avaerilonian war industry (please let's not use "defense" as some silly way to deceive people, it's "war"). As I was saying, this war is wonderful for the war industry, but it saps resources from other sectors of the economy, including labour-power. Productivity is starting to drop in Avaerilon the longer the war holds out and the longer they situation in Logres lasts.
The Naran economy is special in that it can be mobilized at the whim of the workers. If there is a cause they feel especially strong about, they will turn all of the productive forces of their country to that cause. Their "radicalization" is what gives them strength. Of course I call it radicalization, but they have only seen through the guise that the aristocracy and bourgeoisie have created for them and only recently have they taken power and joined a historical struggle. They are certainly a force not to be taken lightly, as the Avaerilonian government seems to think. This can only mean more resources and more lives wasted, all for naught.
Gwatcyn: So what you're saying is that Avaerilon should leave the conflict up to Logres?
Prof. Abbott: Oh yes, absolutely.
Gwatcyn: But what if the Logresians do not want the Narans to replace their government.
Prof. Abbott: The will of the workers goes above both the will of the bourgeoisie and the aristocracy and the workers of Logres will see that they and the workers of the North American Republics are comrades once the institutions of religion, nationalism, and tradition are broken. There is nothing truly separating the workers of any country except those institutions of old.
Gwatcyn: And how will religion, nationalism, and tradition be broken?
Prof. Abbott: Ah, there we come to the most interesting part: putting theories into practice. Let's look to the North American Republics for some mental stimulation. They have a wonderful education system that guides students into using reason and logic early in their lives. The state funds organizations that promote atheism around the country, AANAR (Atheist Alliance, North American Republics) being one prime example, making sure that they do not promote hatred against other religions. Atheism Clubs regularly spring up in high schools and to a lesser extent in middle school, further promoting atheism. The percentage of atheists in the North American Republics is near a whopping 80% and has only been increasing, so there goes religion.
Gwatcyn: What about nationalism?
Prof. Abbott: I'm getting to it. The Naran government promotes the idea that our times have led to two great classes facing each other, that struggle for control over society, and that this struggle is international. This takes the place of nationalism and allows Naran workers to freely connect with workers of other countries. Isn't it grand! There is no Naran nation so much as there is a workers' society and nationality has no place among the Narans. Even the usage of "Naran" is only there to help the outside world know what they are talking about. The promotion of Marxism has helped unite the workers of the North American Republics further than nationalism ever did.
Gwatcyn: And now you'll talk about tradition, right?
Prof. Abbott: Aye, that's correct. They looked to their roots, back in the United States of America, and found that the problem with it was the entrenchment of tradition. Socially conservative laws like prohibiting people from walking around nude in public or smoking marijuana after work were avoided. Old institutions like representative government were avoided and in its place fell councils. The Avaerilonians could learn a thing or too and eliminate the monarchy.
Gwatcyn: Unfortunately our time is up, but thank you Professor Abbott for coming and speaking.
Prof. Abbott: Thank you. It was a pleasure to be here.
Gwatcyn: We'll have more next time on The Revolutionary. Make sure to look out for your favorite rebel broadcast!
