My Beliefs
Look here To summarize I generally agree with the | Green Party's platform. I'm a Democratic Socialist that like most DemSocs advocates a Democratic society with an economy resembling a combination of  Market Socialism and  Social Democracy and  Progressive social views and a focus on  combating climate change. I believe in a Semi-direct Democracy with a constitution 2 legislative bodies and protections for civil liberties. Economically, I see a regulated market made up of majority cooperatives with some nationalized and small private businesses as best. Socially, I want to create an inclusive and understanding society but also allow freedom of religion and culture so long as it's not harmful, exclusionary, or exploitative to others.

Diplomatic Relations
 * [[File:CadCom.png]] Canadian People's Republic - After CPR supported DRD independence relations came to a standstill due to trade with AmFed. When Kashtan came to power in the CPR relations would improve.
 * [[File:PCC.png]] People's Commonwealth of Columbia - Tensions Would remain high, especially after Chairman Libra's statement calling the DRD a "bourgeois government" that "collaborates with the western imperialists in the name of socialism, while denouncing all proletarian states of the world."
 * [[File:AmericanFederation.png]] The American Federation - Relations would be relatively friendly with mutual respect and during the AmFed intervention in the Deseret Civil War the DRD would support them with supplies mostly medical aid.

Lore 1950s|The Begining

Many in Maine, New Hampshire, East Vermont, and Northern Massachusetts had become more progressive than their fellow Americans and with encouragement from the local Wabanaki native community had begun to want independence from what they saw as a crumbling imperial capitalist America. In 1958 during the Second American Civil War, the territories would hold a referendum and vote to become independent and so the Democratic Republic of Dawnland was created. The Five states in the republic would be Wabanaki, Maine, New Hampshire, East Vermont, and Northern Massachusetts. Canada and The American Federation would support Dawnland's independence. After independence, the 5 states and their 37 counties went about electing Representatives with one being The influential progressive leader Arthur McCormack. There would be a constitutional convention in which the reps would set up a system similar to the American system except with an Economic Bill of Rights and constitutional supports for cooperatives, unions, and economic regulation and without an electoral college and Laws blocking lobbying and the ability of people to recall representatives and vote on certain legislation directly. The first presidential election would be held and Arthur McCormack would win almost unopposed. During the first 2 years of his presidency laws funding cooperative would be passed, bolstering the economy. Trade would be opened with the American Federation causing Canada to have tense relations with the DRD but Canada would continue to have an ambassador in the capital Portland.

1960-1970|A Rocky But Prosperous Start

The DRD would remain neutral diplomatically. The DRD would prosper with cooperatives moving the economy forward and the revival of Wabanaki art and culture as well as the expansion of civil rights and liberties. Underground a Maoist organization would grow and start organizing. McCormack would be wildly popular during his presidency because of the relative prosperity in the DRD under his watch. He would win his reelections and serve 2 full 6-year terms before stepping down in 1970.

1970-1972|The Hiccup

In the 1970 election, the new Liberal Dawn Parties candidate Randall Nadeau would become president. He would take a moderate "common sense" approach to problems and this would cause what many Dawnlanders now call the hiccup. The hiccup would be a 2 year period where Nadeau would undo the "Radical" parts of McCormack's economic policy and cause some economic stagnation. This would add fuel to the Maoist flame and during the hiccup the Maoists would gain enough numbers to carry out terrorist strikes on government buildings and city centers. On top of that many unions would organize strikes and The Wabanaki Peoples Party Along with the Progressive Movement for Equality would gain popularity. Nadeau would respond poorly to the situation and after only 2 years in office would be recalled by popular vote and an emergency election would take place in which the WPP and PME would put forward a joint candidate, Strong Tree, who would run against a Liberal candidate and win.

1972-1984|Rejuvenation

Strong Tree would bring back McCormack's policies with an emphasis on indigenous interests and equality. He would reorganize the military into a more guerilla force to corral and push Maoist terrorists into their holdout at Washington Mountain and would besiege the hold rather than attempting to attack instantly stopping the terror and putting the conflict on standstill. Then he would create forest reserves and protect sacred Wabanaki lands and create a department for both The Department of Sacred and Ecological Lands. President Strong Tree would oversee the construction of a comprehensive public transit system, national health service, and public housing initiative. This would lead to a rejuvenation of the nation and general well-being. in 1984 He would step down as president and continued to make appearances to make speeches sometimes with the now elderly McCormack.

 * ([[File:ML.png]]/[[File:AuthSoc.png]]): your not all bad and we do agree on some things like indigenous rights and how Canada needs some change. Still, I'm sorry I don't think marxism or Leninism is the way it ends up oppressing just like capitalism.


 * ([[File:ML.png]]/[[File:PanArab.png]]): same as above Marxist Leninism is not the way.

Comments

 * - I clear old comments after a while.
 * BrainRust123 - What's your opinion on the current school system?
 * - Most of my family works in education and all of them including myself see it as flawed its not only underfunded but it's neglected causing it to decay slowly and metaphorically feed children to the military-industrial complex or the streets. So I think it should be improved by making schools into co-ops, funding them more, and valuing education to equalize opportunity for all.
 * - Add me pls
 * [[File:Rebel_Alliance.png]] CarbynSobek - Add me?
 * - Of course comrades!
 * Shadow Phoenix - What instrument do you play? I used to play the cello.
 * - I play a bit of the ukulele and I'm still learning but I used to play trumpet and guitar as well.
 * Shadow Phoenix - Ok, I added you. Also, please do my music test.
 * [[File:Syntridem3.png]] Apple - Add me Yoda.
 * - Ok :)
 * [[File:Shadow Phoenix-Icon.png]] - Add me plz, I sent you a request.
 * - I added you when you first requested. Also the reason I don’t like ML generally is because in most cases it’s undemocratic and doesn’t actually give workers the means of production instead it replaces the capitalist boss with the state and doesn’t fix exploitation. Of course I don’t dislike all MLs some like Castro, Sankara, Kadar, and Ho Chi Minh were ok and good. Also I added your icon just now because when you first requested you didn’t have one also it looks hella cool. :D

DragonRed now you are based. can you comment on my ideology?
