Main benefit of going commie is that they are the only ones who usually combine state capitalism/planned with full citizenship(very useful for any country in Kwa due to immigrant attraction), and it gets tiresome to keep cancelling the constructions of unprofitable factories the stupid capitalists tend to do.
I didn't have to cheat for what I hoped to happen to happen, but I had to cheat to ensure it would not end being for nothing, or something silly and nonsensical like a conservative counterpart of it.
===========================================
Libertas Quae sera Tamen
Arbeiter, Bauern
Damn Frenchies, they found the source of the Nile first and got all the prestige for it. A missed opportunity, but nothing but a minor distraction for the frogs after all the humiliation of having waved so many white flags in their conflicts with
Prussia BEST BRAZIL.
With the improvement of the government and a growing sentiment towards Freedom, a new Open Door policy on immigration is enacted to attract even more to join the land of the free. With a population now approaching 15 million inhabitants, it is indeed gearing itself to become the greatest country.
tl;dr REMOVE KEBAB FROM THE PREMISES
It was when one private bank in Rio Grande do Sul decided to print more Jewgold than they really had that the most historically important events of this decade would be set in motion. Such scam driven out of the purest greed and disregard for the fellow men harmed millions and enriched a few, and the government support for such scheme caused a massive fury in the state, the feeling of being injustice was rapidly taking a more definite form, as among those who fell victim to such scam many joined the socialist and communist causes, and whispers of revolution were rapidly spreading through the most populous state of the country.
In August of 1876, the Brazilian Republic was the second greatest military power in America, and more than capable of standing and overcoming even the militaries of Great Powers. It was then that a historical alliance was signed between the two mightiest democracies of the continent, in the hopes of securing no more frogs shall meddle in the affairs of the Americas.
Socialist unions rise in support of the people dispossessed by the Great Bankster Scam of 1876, conducting sabotage acts as they accused all of the "bourgeoisie" to be in league in their plan to milk dry the workers for their personal enrichment.
By the beginning of 1877, the Republic of Brazil requested permission from Greece to conduct excavations with the goal of uncovering the history of Ancient Greece. Their arguments end being convincing enough, and thus they had their request granted. Hopefully this time there won't be any Frenchie to discover something important from these excavations first.
Likewise, it was decided to change the national value to something even greater. To formalize their ideals to a new level, one without restrictions, without exceptions. Freedom is their greatest value, to become a land where all men shall be free, a land that makes no distinction between those born in it and those who moved to it. Let it forever shine, at their brightest and finest hours, as an example for the world.
: Once muslims starting imposing Sharia Law with the nod of the feminazis, don't complain I didn't warn you all. You could have prevented it but no, you had to bury the last shred of decency you had by letting this grow strong and giving ears to it.
As a consequence of embracing Freedom as an ideal without limits, feminism is on the rise, to the disgust of the Western Civilization Defense Squad. Likewise, bolt-action rifles have finally become standard in the army, and to make things better, new models are on production that will featured magazines to increase even more the rate of fire and to make reloading them even simpler.
With the rise of ever-increasingly progressive ideas, a reaction was formed, the foundations of the Western Civilization Defense Squad thus strengthened as they look upon the past with rose-tinted glasses of nostalgia for an age that was worse than the current one in the Republic.
Things went badly in Crete when a
Afro-Brazilian NIGGER who went there to work in the excavations was accused of raping Greek white women. To prevent an international scandal, the government decides to make the Greek government agree with them through the same way the Jews would make them approve "austerity measures" over a century later. The rumors it spawned served well to stir reactionaries and racists in the country.
Petroleum is a new source of energy that is far more promising than steam power. However, right now nobody invented applications for it yet, and thus there is no real demand for refined fuels, and besides, they don't have access to oil, because offshore drilling requires technologies a long way from being developed right now. If they manage to add an oil-producer to their sphere of influence, it might be useful though.
In 11th of August of 1877, what many already suspected was confirmed. The bank involved in the Great Bankster Scam of 1876 gave substantial bribes to the Federalist Party to ensure they would block any investigations and trials against the same bank. With this fact in plain sight, countless lost their faith in liberals and of these many joined the socialist ranks. After the scandal, the Colorado Party made their famous speech on how "democracy and capitalism are mutually exclusive" and riled many enraged peoples against the status quo. The government knew there was only one thing that would hopefully distract the population from the tensions and prevent them from exploding.
To finish what they have started, to eradicate tyranny from the Brazilian nation. And thus it began. Thanks to their alliance with Kwa perhaps, or because they feared to be humiliated into raising lots of white flags once again, the French proved how reliable allies they are and left monarchist Brazil to their fate.
Except this time... the war was not as one-sided as before. Despite aware they stood no chance at this point, the monarchists fought fanatically, and every advance was bloody, casualties many times being greater to the Republic. But they cannot stop now, the nation must be united in FREEDOM!
A feeling of national BROtherhood has risen. The Brazilians are one people, to never be divided by petty regionalisms like the former Spanish colonies were, and for that to ensure there is no need of kings and despots. They were only divided by a conflict between liberty and tyranny, progress and reaction, but now this will be over.
No matter how many brothers shall die and kill each other in the end of this thirty years long Civil War, there will be peace, freedom and prosperity for everyone from Pará to Rio Grande do Sul.
Now on some European News. Giuseppe Garibaldi, hero in the two Wars of the Farrapos, has achieved, or nearly achieved, his dream of having his nation united. Italy was formed, but due to French meddling the Papal States remain independent. They have many challenges ahead to achieve full unification, for to face Austria-Hungary and France will not be easy.
Perhaps most interesting is that, somehow Finland achieved independence, despite still being in the Russian sphere of influence, and most importantly, the news on a Jacobin revolution brewing to overthrow the monarchy in Prussia and replace it with a democracy that might serve as the base for the proclamation of a German republic.
Empriricism will give some benefits to the organization of the military and also speed up research. Given the cultural research benefit Freedom provides, it is a natural choice.
As if the rising militancy of socialist revolutionaries that were just a few steps from open rebellion wasn't bad enough, an outbreak of Typhoid Fever happened in Rio Grande do Sul. Having enough ethics to value life over stability, the government enacted a quarantine that caused even more militancy, and thus from a deadly disease would come a spark that was about to ignite the powderkeg of a Second Revolution.
A chance to prevent the worst came as, worried by the militancy, certain conservatives and liberals offered support to the socialist proposal of improving the pensions for the elderly, but the government decided to simply bide its time on such subject, specially as the finances were going badly, the war lasting longer than predicted as despite well aware they lost it, the monarchy refused to surrender.
In July 13th, 1878, dozens of thousands rose in the capital, rapidly overwhelming and driving the local police into retreat as they stormed the Golden House. The situation was getting out of control, the red flags rising all over the city as the Colorados tried to completely secure Porto Alegre, intent on overthrowing the existing government and paving the foundations of a socialist democracy, as they believed that the game was rigged. Only through violent revolution they thought that it could be possible to create what they called a true democracy, one ruled by enlightened workers who gave no ears to the lies of the bourgeois parties.
While the war of unification was far from over, the Brazilian Revolution has begun.
A social conscience has risen among the violence. However, the conservative government was resolute on entering History as those responsible for reuniting Brazil, even if such was the last thing they'd achieve.
Casualties have ramped up pretty high on the dramatic battle of Rio de Janeiro, where men loyal to the emperor swore to fight to the death, and thus many did, inflicting devastating casualties as their military equipment has been rapidly modernized since the last war fought against them. There was a high cost, both in money and in lives, but the Republican Party was resolute to have this as their year of glory, be it a total victory or their goodbye gift to their fatherland.
The Western Civilization Defense Squad tried to do something, but at this point it was too late. Meanwhile, with the enemy armies crushed, cuts were done on supplies because there was no other option save bankrupcy, which would be terrible.
In April of 1879, at last, a Brazilian was the first in the world to develop a vaccine against the devastating Cholera, which will greatly increase the quality of life for the population, while also bringing great prestige to Brazil for such scientific achievement. With this, the population will increase even more thanks to the drastic reduction in deaths the eradication of Cholera will ensure.
Meanwhile, as the situation worsened in Rio Grande do Sul, the government made one last bid, mobilizing as many as they could to fight against the revolutionaries, now numbered in the hundreds of thousands.
The revolutionaries were victorious, in part thanks to how many called to mobilize indeed mobilized.... on their side. Red flags waved over Rio Grande do Sul, order lost, while all of their army was deep in the Brazilian North to finish what they have started. Now it was too late. Hopefully they would resist long enough for the war with monarchist Brazil to be over, but the stability of the country was already eroding, no matter how the current government refused to negotiate with the revolutionaries even after they stormed the capital.
Another important invention which will greatly help in many practical applications, the creation of the periodic table was a significant leap in the field of chemistry, even if Brazil was not the first country to develop one.
In April of 1880, the there was The Brazilian Slaughter of the last monarchist army, and now victory was about to be confirmed.
And thus, at last! A crowning moment of glory for the Republic! Now there is no more WORST BRAZIL! Technically, there still is one in the remnants of the crooked regime now overthrown, but eventually it will be gone. Let this May of 1880 be forever remembered for what it represents. From its humble origins as a minor separatist Republic, from victories over two Wars of the Farrapos where all odds were stacked against them, the Republic of Brazil has risen triumphantly, putting an end to many of the ills of the nation inherited from colonialism, and actively working to eradicate the still existing ones. This is a great day for freedom.
However, to achieve this victory much was sacrificed. Countless dozens of thousands died in bloody battles, pensions were suspended as the country verged on bankrupcy, and together with other austerity measures, these actions triggered even more revolutionary fervor, from the point where, while at this point they have secured their status as the legitimate government of Brazil, the socialist revolution has taken the entirety of the very source of all these achievements: Rio Grande do Sul. The armies marched southwards, in the hopes to restore order.
25th of May of 1880 will be forever remembered in the history of Brazil. Having no other choice, the Republicans agreed to abdicate if their lives, health and families were not harmed, and to such terms the revolutionaries agreed, as then, by force, the conservatives were ousted from power and a new government of the proletariat has risen. The Colorados defended ideals which would eventually be called Democratic Syndicalism, supporting an economy mixed between central planning and workers self-management and standing for both freedom and socialism, which they considered equally important to each other to become true rather than distorted shadows the bourgeois liberals and the tyrannical communists in their dictatorships of the proletariat stand for.
They have achieved their ultimate objective at last, overthrowing the previous order and instating democratic socialism. Ironically however, just as they announced their victories, elections already started as they believed that the people had to support socialism for it to be an authentic and succcessful revolution, and thus, the Republican Party might ironically go back to their seats, unless they successfully convince the masses of their ideals.
LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION!
FREEDOM, EQUALITY AND HUMANITY!
Only through democratic socialism such ideals can be truly achieved. Many foreign powers look warily, for they know well the threat represented by this successful revolution. A coup attempt by the communists to instate a dictatorship of the "proletariat" was prevented, and investigations found out that banksters and JEWS were involved in it, making it obvious that they were trying to corrupt the revolution into something arguably worse than capitalism out of fear it could inspire the workers of the entire world were it to become a functional and better way of life.
Socialism, once fringe, became one of the most followed ideologies, but there was one more problem. The so called "White Army" of the bourgeois liberals besieged Porto Alegre, threatening to put a rapid end to this revolution. All forces were being deployed to stabilize the country before all they fought so hard for could be lost.
Extensive social reforms have begun. First, to eradicate the odious institution of child
labor slavery, something only cold-blooded capitalist pigs could have invented. This will greatly improve the quality of life and drastically decrease child mortality, because the life of the people are worth more than extra cash in the pockets of the ruthless bourgeois.
DEATH TO THE EXPLOITER OF THE PROLETARIAT! HE IS NO BETTER THAN A SLAVER! DEATH TO THE ENEMIES OF OUR PEOPLE AND OF THE WORKERS! DEATH TO TYRANTS, REACTIONARIES AND MONARCHS! DEATH TO THE CORRUPT AND PEDOPHILE CHURCH! DEATH TO THE CORRUPT POLITICIANS THAT SELL OUR FUTURE TO THE WEALTHY!
Fortunately for the workers, by August the damn Jacobin bourgeois rebels were crushed. Socialism has won, Freedom has won and True Democracy has won. Now it is time to achieve the most important victory: to be acclaimed by the people, to have most voting for socialism in the ballots to confirm that this is indeed the will of the people, and so for it to be, forever.
To reduce the increasing costs of the large and mighty army of the just established Socialist Republic of Brazil, which will of course be critical because sooner or later the counter-revolutionary forces of the world, the imperialist scum and the Kwanzania corporatists will make their move against the revolution, a system of modern logistics is at last researched, and to ensure that, no matter how many pigs send their cattle to the slaughter for their unjust counter-revolution, the proletariat shall win, let those who fight for the reactionaries and bourgeois be slaughtered by mighty machineguns!
Vile imperialists and exploiters! They now march to suck dry every resource of Africa, to chain their people under wage slavery and therefore enrich a few fat cats from such exploitation. It is a pity the revolutionary military has no navy to challenge such vile disregard for national sovereignty born out of pure greed and lack of humanity. Once the time is right and our glorious military ready, we shall fight for the freedom of Africa as much as we did for the freedom of our own people!
Minas Gerais, the same state where the first attempt at a Republican revolution and at independence happened, became a bastion of socialism, their population standing stronger than anywhere else for the ideal of a better world and a better future for the people.
The damn Frenchies tried to trollbait Brazil into a war, obviously aware of what their now old rival represents. Their loss.
FOR FREEDOM, FOR THE PEOPLE, FOR THE FATHERLAND! FORWARD!
The Colorados have won both through guns and ballots, confirming that the revolution was more than successful. A new ideal is rising. From the socialist revolutionaries that now form the democratic government of Brazil, many have an Internationalist ideal, defending the creation of civilization and government based upon not nationality, but ideology, and from such, the lofty dream of world socialism, and equally, a far closer dream as well, while a new very important reform was established to create public schools for everyone and no longer make education a privilege for the bourgeois and even worse aristocrats.
Slowly the ideal rose. From its posiition as the unrivaled power of South America,The Republic of Brazil now ruled by a revolutionary socialist government was about to become something greater, in a movement that would definitively draw the attention of the bourgeois empires of the world and pave the way for what could become the greatest conflict they have ever fought, but it is something that must be done, for the workers and people of the continent, because isolation will mean defeat while the forces of counter-revolution gather.
Thus, in the year of 1881, something greater was formed. Supported by socialist movements of their neighbors, the just established Colorado revolutionaries thus proclaimed the Libertadores, giving a true purpose to the flawed dreams of men like Simón Bolívar: to unite the proletariat of the entire continent under the flag of socialism. This declaration brought considerable condemnation from the rest of the world, and immediately, all other great powers turned hostile against the just established revolutionary confederation, for they knew what it represented to those who shell money to their crooked politicians for them to pretend running a democracy while ruling for the wealthy and powerful.
By proving freedom and socialism can work together, the Libertadores now stands for a birth that shall be drenched in blood, for never in history, since the days of the French Revolution, have counter-revolutionary forces been so active as before, talks having happened less than a few hours after the establishment of this socialist multinational government, and alliances being forged against old enemies intent on crushing them sooner or later, all while the Banana Republics are being auctioned, the greatest powers of the world, like Kwanzania, France and the British Empire, stand ready to snatch certain South American countries whose elites give more value to their status than to the sovereignty of their nation, and to partition the continent in the hopes of culling what is now the greatest threat to their establishments.
Of course, by doing so, they shall only give even more reasons for the socialists in Brazil to stand for their ideal against all odds, just like the Republicans in Rio Grande do Sul did, and therefore, they will not be intimidated if, to unite the workers of South America through freedom and socialism, they must defy the mightiest countries of the world*.
TO BE CONTINUED
*Also will be done IN SPACE as soon as GarfunkeL gets the Aurora game back on track.
PS: Now I'll have to edit some events to ensure a really severe counter-revolution and some partitioning of Latin America as Satellites or directly ruled territories. Map-painting against the other infinitely weaker South American countries would not be fun enough.
Therefore instead of fighting them, there will be one hell of a fight coming.
