THE RED FACTIONS RESIGNS FROM THE PROLETARIAT COALITION.
Comrades,
It is with absolute pain and sadness that I hereby am to report that The Red Factions, timeless member of the Proletariat Coalition, posted his resignation letter in the TPC Assembly close to a day ago.
_______
My friends - I will hereby abuse of my position as reporter to state my personal feelings and impressions, wishing that some of you will understand what this entails, according to a tired, overworked however breathless humble servant of the Proletariat.
Indeed, I know The Red Factions in RL. I can hence assure you that the value of NationStates was for him high. Never has it been a problem for us to sit by and discuss various NS happenings for hours. We would cooperate closely, plan liberations and defending missions, work together during infiltrations of various kinds - serve the cause of Defending. For that's what he has been doing all the way - he has been fighting, but as a defender, not a soldier.
The crime I give every single one of you the responsibility for is not of better sort that the very crime he assumed - for he did assume it. Are defenders the criminals we've always though Invaders were?
Criminals because of what they do to themselves? The Red Factions was, just like many of us (although only a few will admit it) dream of an exclusively political NationStates (his strong political involvement makes that a fact) thus wishing nothing else but the fair destruction of the Invader Cause - yes, it is a war. Losing a board for a big invader group is no more than losing a delegacy for a 20-native region, these natives wishing nothing else but to live peacefully and wake up, every morning, to face a new political debate (not a battle). That is the way the casual NationStates player works and thinks - what will happen today that I like?
What does War know about ethics? Honour?
For the ones truly working for a cause, honour is the rising of their dream above their work. Ethics is the way we accept to live for that cause. As you all have understood, this goes beyond NationStates by far - but not towards National Laws, or OOC violations.
Criminals, because they don't stick to the very link that makes them so strong - the defenders unity. What lies behind that notion? the wish to protect weaker regions, and stand by them when they need help, united? Be a strong army against another strong one, and use the Proletariat as a tool to satisfy a dream of military superiority?
Yes, we've paid a terribly high price, but NationStates is today a safer place.
What will the Defender world look like tomorrow? What does a NationStates defender want? Sometimes, these questions cannot be answered.
How many mistakes does it take to have a single one cleared, Comrades? How serious are they to become? It takes much to push The Red Factions out of NationStates. I call none of you "Defenders" today, for you're all soldiers. The difference is considerable. Not because you claim the destruction of the Invaders board is unacceptable, it probably is. I blame you for pushing The Red Factions out of NationStates, and how good or bad that may ever sound to many of you, if you truly believe in the ethics you claim yourself preachers of (of course you don't), then you know how criminal it was.
Here we are, starting the redaction of a new chapter in the encyclopedia of the NationStates Universe.
Why, I ask.
Long live The Proletariat Coalition.
In Comradeship,

Comrades,
It is with absolute pain and sadness that I hereby am to report that The Red Factions, timeless member of the Proletariat Coalition, posted his resignation letter in the TPC Assembly close to a day ago.
Good evening comrades.
This will be my last appearance in The Central Soviet of the Red Liberty Alliance and The People’s Assembly of The Proletariat Coalition, where so many decisions have been made that shaped the history of NationStates and my region. I remember with fondness the time I’ve spent here, helping out the best I’ve could and serving with passion and dedication. In all the decisions I have made and actions I’ve directed, I have always tried to do what was best for The Proletariat Coalition and the Red Liberty Alliance and served with zeal and dedication. This has always been true. As I go into retirement, I would like to recommend Comrade Louis IX as my successor in leading the committee of military affairs of The Proletariat Coalition.
In the past few days, however, it has become evident to me that I can longer justify continuing my membership in the Red Liberty Alliance or The Proletariat Coalition. The interest of both must always come before any personal ambitions and considerations. Therefore, effective immediately, I tender my resignation from The Central Soviet of the Red Liberty Alliance, mindful of the burden and stain that I have become as opposed to the asset I would once have considered myself. As I recall the high ambitions and goals for Red Liberty Alliance with which we began this great initiative in march 2004, I feel a great sadness knowing that my time has finally come to an end. I regret deeply all injuries I've caused. I shall leave The Central Soviet, my friends, my allies with my deepest regret but with gratitude for the privilege of having served the greatest region and organization I have ever had the honour to be a member off.
These years of service have been a momentous time in the history of nationstates and in the shapings of my personal political beliefs and visions. They have been a time of achievement in which we can all be proud, achievements that represent the shared efforts of The Red Liberty Alliance and the socialists of nationstates. I can for certain say that all opposition has been eliminated and that the invader threat is no more – already the Field Marshal of DEN has posted his resignation speech as a direct consequence of the attacks carried out against the Invaders forums.
Together with the other defenders who have participated in this attack – the definitive coup de grace was dealt to the invader threat. As of now, there are only 5 people ( including a member of Invaders ) in nationstates who know the full details of this operation and I have full confidence in that all RL actions against me or them will end in failure – in the sure knowledge that we acted within the boundaries of international law and the terms of services of Invisionfree. The invader threat shall no longer hang over nationstates.
Today, on this incredibly important day for me, I want to ask the comrades of The Central Soviet for forgiveness because of my actions and involvement in this operation. Today, I have become a burden and have overstepped my boundaries as well as authority and caused unfair pain upon the RLA that it does not deserve. To be true to the spirit in which I have served this organization, there can be no outcome but my resignation from all positions.
The Red Liberty Alliance and The Proletariat Coalition are in safe hands today and will continue to be so for the foreseeable future – that I’m sure off. To have served the Red Liberty Alliance has been a genuine honor, pleasure and privilege. In leaving it, I hope that the comrades I’ve made within these will find it in their heart to forgive me for contributing to bringing upon the RLA this misfortune.
May our path cross in the realms of Real Life.
Long live The Proletariat Coalition!
Long live The Red Liberty Alliance!
