If The British Empire Had Followed The Soviet Model

After a long war of attrition with Germany, and subsequent hunger and

general ill-being of the country's political and economic situation,

Socialists stage riots in England and ask for more democracy. After

several skirmishes with the weakened Royal Army, they end up creating

a provisional government. An emergency cabinet is set up, with a John

Smith in charge. Later, another, a much stronger majority party, the

Communists, attack the Buckingham palace, the Provisional Council of

Ministers and arrest the Royal family. The King, the Queen and all the

princes and princesses are assassinated. John Smith, overthrown by the

Communists, flees the country.

The Communists institute the Dictatorship of the Masses and declare

martial law. All property is confiscated from the rich, and all the

aristocrats are mercilessly shot. Later, a new government is formed

with a Peter Brown in charge. All the British colonies around the

world who had been reeling under the heavy weight of the Crown feel

that now may be a propitious moment for them to finally declare their

independence. Rebellions take place all across the Empire. The

Communists, in response, gather a huge army and put down the

revolutions with the most brutal application of force, killing untold

thousands of Indians, Chinese, Trinidadians and Burmese. Ireland is

invaded, subdued and its political status remains in limbo until

further notice.

Peter Brown, a devout Communist, is also a patriotic Englishman. He

realizes that England is soon going to lose all its colonies and the

neighboring countries of Wales and Scotland. He proposes the following

solution: The British Empire is going to become a huge conglomeration

of various free republics, and it will change its name as well. It

will no longer be a monarchy, but, instead, it will be ruled by a

group of political councils.

Therefore, it will, from now on, be known as The Union of Councilist

Democratic Republics. ( UCDR) It will be a permanent gathering of many

formerly British countries and colonies with common defense and

currency. The countries will be potentially independent republics

that will surrender its military, custom, postal , and border concerns

to the main country, from now on to be known as a "republic", too: the

English Federative Councilist Democratic Republic (EFCDR). This

republic will be "first among equals" in the new country of USDR.

Other founding republics of UCDR will be: The Scottish Councilist

Democratic Republic, The Welsh Councilist Democratic Republic, the

Irish Councilist Democratic Republic, and the Indian Councilist

Democratic Republic. Communist troops from these five founding

republics are quickly dispatched to Burma, Hong Kong, Barbados and the

British Virgin Islands where people are trying to declare

independence, and they pitilessly crush all the attempts of the locals

to win freedom for themselves. The Irish Republican Army leaders in

Dublin and Belfast are arrested and executed. The organization of the

IRA is disbanded with many of its common soldiers sent to exile in

Kashmir and Nepal.

The new country begins to solidify and expand. New republics are

added as time goes by and all fights for any real sovereignty are

brutally put down by the UCDR troops led by England.

By now we have the following new "republics " joining (very much

involuntarily):

The Barbados Councilist Democratic Republic

The Trinidad and Tobago Councilist Democratic Republic

The Cape Councilist Democratic Republic, with the Autonomous Dutch

Republic as part thereof.

The Nigerian Councilist Democratic Republic

The Palestinian Councilist Democratic Republic consisting of Arab and

Hebrew Autonomous Democratic Republics.

The Burmese Councilist Democratic Republic with Karen and Shan

Autonomous Councilist Republics as parts thereof.

The Kuwaiti Arab Councilist Democratic Republic

The Australian Anglo- Celtic Councilist Democratic Republic with

Aboriginal Autonomous Republic as part thereof.

The Canadian Anglo-Ukrainian Councilist Democratic Republic with a

Quebecois and several Native Indian Autonomous Councilist Democratic

Republics as parts thereof.

The New Zealand Anglo-Celtic Councilist Democratic Republic with a

Maori Autonomous Councilist Republic.

The Malaya Councilist Democratic Republic with a special Chinese and

a special Indian Autonomous Republic as parts thereof.

The Rhodesian Councilist Democratic Republic.

The Kenyan Councilist Democratic Republic.

The Tanzanian Councilist Democratic Republic which includes the

Autonomous Councilist Republic of Zanzibar.

Several small islands in the Pacific and the Atlantic, as well as some

Black countries in Africa are allowed to become independent; they have

little political or economic value. Their independence is highly

lauded in the UCDR media, and shown to the rest of the world as a sign

that the Great UCDR is, in fact, a freedom-loving State that respects

wishes of smaller peoples for free and democratic self-determination.

The English Republic (EFCDR) will ,from now, on consist of several

regions, such as East Anglia, Midlands, The Falklands, The Red London

region and one Autonomous Councilist Republic of Cornwall. Why

autonomous Cornwall? Well, the people there are Celts, so we are going

to let them have a semi-independent parliament and allow them to teach

all subjects in Cornish in their schools. They will, however, have no

right to secede in the Constitution of the Union.

The Indian Councilist Democratic Republic will have the Autonomous

Republics of Sri Lanka, Nepal, Pakistan and Bangladesh as its

integral components, but not as parts of India Proper.

Under the new Constitution ,all republics, the big ( Constituent ones)

and the smaller, Autonomous ones within the big ones, will have the

right to run most of their local affairs in local languages and

conduct primary and secondary education in them. On the university

level and in other post secondary schools, subjects will have to be

taught in English.

Only the "big "republics will be able to secede from the Union after a

proper referendum is conducted. Autonomous republics will have much

harder time if they try to secede. A new citizenship and a multi-

national Councilist People are proclaimed. A Palace of Councils is

built in Red London. Every "big" republic now has a seat in it.

English people, the Scottish and the Welsh predominate ,but there are

also plenty of Africans, Indians, Malays, and other token

representatives of the new multi-national state each speaking for

their respective union republics.

Peter Brown dies , but ,before his death ,he secretly warns the

government not to allow any non-English people to become the next

Secretary General, however, it is too late. A Ramesh Singh, an Indian

who had been able to settle in London in the past because of his party

connections takes over. He is a deeply disturbed person. Having been

called a "bloody Paki" all his life, and unable to speak English

without a heavy Sub-continental accent, he is now determined to prove

his power all across the UCDR. Singh conducts indiscriminate purges

and establishes a Calc -The Councilist Administration of Labor Camps-a

system of penal servitude colonies all across the country.

Most such colonies are in Asia and Australia, and they slowly fill up

with hundreds of thousands of disgruntled citizens who work as slaves

in penal factories and plants producing weaponry , clothing and

machinery for UCDR. Many die of exposure and horrible working

conditions ,but, in their place, new prisoners are swiftly brought in

on trumped -up charges.

Internal passports are issued. In each passport, the name, address and

birth place and date are marked. There is also a "nationality"

paragraph which is determined by the government based on the ethnic

blood lineage of the person. Nationality and citizenship are now two

different concepts. Everybody is a Councilist by citizenship However,

they are of different ethnic origins- read: nationalities. White

people with names such as John Smith have "English" written in their

passports. White people with names such as Sean McCormick have

"Scottish" written on the same line. Australians, South Africans and

New Zealanders are also mostly classified as English, Irish, Scottish

or Welsh based on genealogical research. Afrikaners are called Dutch.

They are not trusted and are kept in the Autonomous Dutch Republic in

South Africa.

One needs to produce multiple birth and death certificates of one's

ancestors and then, based on those, the government decides who is to

be designated as what. The term "British "ceases to exist, and those

who say they are British, are automatically given 20 years in the

Calc.

The government appoints a Ministry of Nationalities that decides how

to classify some 100 plus other ethnic groups of the UCDR. The Jews

are designated as Hebrews, and sent to Palestine; various African

people are only designated as Nigerians or Kenyans and tribal ties are

not considered at all. Kuwaiti- and Palestinian Arabs have the word

"Arab" written in the internal passports. Soon, the huge number of

nationalities is duly registered, and respective histories of these

peoples are published in school books. It is taught how these had been

oppressed by their neighbors and their own overlords until the elder

brothers, the English, came, saved, and enlightened them. Now, all

these nationalities are united under one common multinational

government with a seat in the Councilist capital- Red London.

Gypsies, however, are declared a non-indigenous nationality and are

not given an autonomous republic, but, instead a tiny Gypsy Autonomous

District is established for them in the north of Pakistan because that

is where they are originally from ( according to the UCRD

anthropologists) . They are strongly encouraged to move there, and

those who do not , are often imprisoned. Some are allowed to settle in

non-Gypsy areas and work in circuses. Most are harassed by both the

police and the local population.

A strict housing registration is implemented. One can visit another

city or a republic, but is not allowed to move there without obtaining

a police registration and a release from his/her republic or city. For

that, one needs a job, and to have a job, one needs a police

registration. A catch 22. Only people with good connections, those in

the direct employ of the CPCU- Communist Party of the Councilist

Union, and the very talented ones, with good jobs can move more or

less freely around the "former "British Empire. Arabs and Indians can

come to London on official business, but few can move there. All must

carry internal passports on them most of the time. People without

passports are imprisoned and sent to the Calc. As a result of such

strict policies, most people in London are now ethnically English, and

most people in India are Indians, except in Delhi and Bombay, where

most officials are either English or Scottish. They are living just

like they used to during the Raj: with butlers, big mansions, private

drivers, etc.

You see, big English party bosses from London and also, many Scottish

and even Welsh and Irish nationalities can relatively easily relocate

to India and live a good life there, but only a tiny number of the

Indian republic's bosses can get a permit to live in Red London or The

Hero City of Glasgow. Many heads of governments in India and the

Autonomous Pakistani and Sri Lankan republics are English, but there

are only a tiny number of token Indian officials in the English

republic.

Also, because of the way the centralized supply lines have been set

up , most of the wealth from the East flows back to Red London to make

Red London party chiefs even richer while impoverishing the brotherly

republics of Asia and Africa.

No one is allowed to travel abroad without a special permission, and

an exit visa of which very few are given, out every year except, of

course, to trusted government officials and CSS (Committee of State

Security) agents. Foreigners are let into the country only after a

very careful scrutiny, and they must adhere to a government -approved

itinerary. Many visas are denied from the outset. The ones who are

"lucky" to get in, are followed everywhere by the CSS. Those who are

thought to be spies, are arrested and sent to labor camps.

Collectivization of agriculture starts. Peasants are put on collective

farms and individual land is confiscated. Huge fertile areas in Malaya

and Burma and their cities are cleared of the locals, and many

English, Welsh and Scottish people are brought in to settle, all in

the name of "expanding the brotherly union." As in India, they are

given cushy jobs as heads of rural councils and factory directors.

The result is quite a few indignant and recalcitrant locals who are

quite unhappy about the situation, but these are promptly declared

"enemies of the people" and are either executed, or resettled in the

mountains of Pakistan and poorer regions of Kenya where many die from

various physical privations and attacks by local tribes. Those who are

obedient and faithful to the ideals of UCDR are still allowed to stay

in rural areas of their republics, but their internal passports are

taken away from them by local rural councils. They cannot leave their

villages, and are forced to work as virtual slaves to make English/

Scottish/Welsh-dominated UCDR even more glorious, and turn Red London

into the City of Gold.

Those Indians and Pakistanis as well as Hong Kong Chinese who come to

Red London in hope of settling down find that it is similar to how it

would be if they had to travel to another country- they need visas to

stay there. But even if they are lucky to get a long term visa in the

capital of UCDR, they are still routinely harassed by the London

Bobbies and constantly told to go back to their "Wog Republics".

In the meantime, movies, poetry, paintings, sculptures and song

glorifying UCDR life and its democratic system, are produced all over

the country. The Palace of the Peoples is built in Red London where

delegates ,dressed in various ethnic clothes, perform dances and sing

in their native languages, after which, they are hurriedly sent back

home because London should be an English city, and these, if they

stayed, would violate its demographic homogeneity.

A party of Red Pioneers and the Union of Councilist Youth become

training organizations for future Communist bosses from all republics.

Medical care is free but of low quality. Higher Education is free, is

conducted in English, and most large universities are in London. There

is a quota on students who are not "white", and there is another

separate quota on Dutch Afrikaners who are seen as troublemakers and a

rebellious non-native group.

Twenty years after the founding of the UCDR, Germany, Japan and Italy

attack the country. Nationwide mobilization takes place, and the seat

of the government moves from London to the capital of the Brotherly

Republic of India, Delhi. Comrade Singh, the Father of the

Peoples ,temporarily stops purges and collects a huge multi-ethnic

fighting force. All the nationalities of the enormous country unite

under one slogan- "For Motherland, for Comrade Singh!". After four

years of fighting and the death of some 20,000,000 Councilists, the

enemies are defeated and the purges resume. The soldiers who had

allowed themselves to be taken into captivity are whisked away by

their own government never be heard from again. Local languages are

becoming more and more suppressed in favor of English ,and those who

insist on publishing reading materials or songs in them are ridiculed

as bourgeois nationalists and enemies of the Union. Secret plans are

also drawn to rid The Cape Republic of the Dutch minority.

In the meantime, the United States, Russia and other democratic

countries outside of UCDR begin the process of building a nuclear bomb

to protect themselves against the possible encroachment by the

Communists. UCDR joins the arms race by creating its own nuclear

weapon and detonating it in Afrikaans-speaking areas of the Cape

Republic effectively eliminating the "African Dutch" from the face of

the earth. This further scares foreign countries and they start

producing even more atomic and, now, neutron weapons.

Many countries in Asia and Africa, however, having been convinced by

very active international UCDR propaganda turn communist and join

UCDR's political camp. Other countries join the democratic Russia, USA

and France. The two political camps exchange hostile rhetoric and

military threats. The menace of an all-out nuclear war starts looming

closer and closer.

However, Secretary Singh suddenly dies before a serious atomic

confrontation with other countries could take place.

The government cabinet , The Councilist Polit. Bureau, is reshuffled

and Jim Jones, a Welshman, comes to power. He exposes the crimes of

Ramesh Singh, and a temporary thaw takes place both among the

Councilist republics and UCDR and other countries. Foreign travel

becomes easier, foreign relations- more open. A space program is

established , and, in few years, a Councilist Artificial Satellite

called "Fellow Traveler" circles the Earth. Other countries, however,

see it as the evidence that UCDR can now attack them from outer space.

This scares them into developing space programs of their own and even

more advanced nuclear weaponry.

UCDR puts a man in space, an Englishman named Bob Stevens. This

further escalates the Space and Arms race. For the next 25 years UCDR

and its satellite on the one hand, and the capitalist countries of

East and West are caught in an uneasy stand-off until Jones dies and a

peace loving Michael Fitzpatrick comes to power. He offers peace to

the countries on the other side of the political divide, dismantles

the Calc penal system, disbands the KSS, and declares a policy of

"Voicefulness". People are now free to voice their opinion, and some

take it as a sign that even more decisive action can be taken.

Suddenly, union republics begin declaring independence one by one.

First, Ireland, then India, then the Cape Republic, until they all

peel off. Eventually, Wales and Scotland go their own separate ways

and England itself tells the UCDR government to leave London. Soon,

all that is left of the Great Union of Free Councilist Republics is

England with its Autonomous Republic of Cornwall. This is not allowed

to secede because it was never a "Constituent" republic of the defunct

union. Cornwall separatists begin fighting for independence but are

quickly put down by Red London's troops. The world stands silent and

only other Celtic nations offer some lip service in its support.

Cornish people are declared a nation of bandits and many young

Cornwallers disappear into the English prison system never to be heard

from again. Some Bretons, Northern Spaniards and other Celtic fighters

are arrested and deported back to their countries.

However, all the republics, constituent and autonomous, soon find out

that they are way behind the capitalist world in the production of

goods and services. No one needs their shabby clothes and low quality

cars, and overpriced and very crude raw materials. They quickly learn

that they still need each other and, therefore, they form a loose

confederation of formerly British-controlled nations. With the word

"British" being legal again, they form The British Commonwealth of

Nations.

The Union experiment caused untold hardships and astronomical numbers

of dead, millions of crippled lives, and an immeasurable degree of

human suffering. Even though, allegedly, the Communists' original

intention was to unite diverse peoples of the Empire, they, in the

end, ended up recreating the old Imperial structure but with much

harsher laws and much more brutal political and social restrictions.

They say: the more things change the more they stay the same. I say,

sometimes, the more they change the more they become a worse version

of the same.

Unions of Republics? Don't those try it at home!

The Soviets came to power DURING the first world war with Germany.

With capitalist Germany's very aggressive political, military and

financial assistance. The Bolsheviks were a creation of capitalist

Germany, desperate to win the first world war. They could never have

come to power without them. It is questionable whether the Bolsheviks

were even "communists".

Stalin and company said they were communists, and they should know.

Certainly they know better than modern day communists, who do nothing

but TALK.

Get with it, daddy-o! Today the Conservatives' boogeyman isn't

communism, it's Hollywood.
