Noting the danger that revolutionarcy communism poses to the Monarchy

Further noting the need to protect the nation from the poison that is revolutionary communism

Be it resolved that:
  1. The ideology known as revolutionary communism shall be banned in Kirkland.
  2. Revolutionary communism shall encompass Leninism, Stalinism, Maoism, Trotskyism, Hoxhaism, Titoism, Juche, and Anarcho-communism.
  3. Any individual found promoting any idea, author, or leader who adheres or has adhered to these schools of communism shall be banned from Kirkland forever.
  4. Any party that is found to promote the ideology of these schools of communism shall be immediately disbanded and have its members banned from Kirkland.
  5. Any person or party that is found to promote revolution, be it violent or peaceful, to overthrow the Monarchy shall be banned from Kirkland.
  6. A special division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs shall be formed to find and remove those elements of the Kirkish population that are found to adhere to the aforementioned schools of revolutionary communism.
    1. This new division shall be called the Ideological Protection Agency or IPA.
    2. The IPA shall have the power to investigate any citizen, noble, or political party that is believed to adhere to any of the aforementioned schools of revolutionary communism.
    3. Upon the gathering of evidence the IPA may present a file to the Ministry of Justice to ask for a judicial review of the person or party in question. Upon the completion of a judicial review the Court may decide to issue a warrant for the arrest of any individuals who are found to promote revolutionary communism and file paperwork to ban any potential political parties that are found to adhere to any of the aforementioned schools of revolutionary communism.

  7. In order to be banned a person or party must be shown to have held their belief in the school or revolutionary communism in question for a period not less than 6 months. A political party must be shown to have adhered to revolutionary communism in all facets of its party, not just limited to a few select party members in order to be banned.
  8. Nobles who are regular members of a political party found to have adhered to and promoted revolutionary communism shall be given a single opportunity to recant their beliefs. If they refuse to recant then they will be banned.
    1. Any noble who is in a leadership position in a political party that is found to have adhered to or promoted revolutionary communism shall be immediately banned and not given an opportunity to recant.
    2. Leadership position shall be defined as a Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Treasurer, Parliamentarian, Promotion Director, Parliamentary Whip, or any comparable position to those just mentioned.

  9. Marxism, Democratic Socialism, Eurocommunism, Christian Communism, Luxemburgism, and Council communism will still be allowed under this act due to their inherently democratic nature.

Mr. Speaker,

While i certainly do not agree with the ideology of communism or revolutionary communism I also do not believe that it is right to ban any particular ideology. The government has no business tell people what they can and can't believe. I would also like to point out that this bill may be considered unconstitutional as it is in direct conflict with Article 5 section 1 of the Constitution which states,
Quote:
Article 5: Rights Shared by Nobles and Citizens
  • Section 1: All shall have the right to freedom of speech.

On these grounds this bill should be nullified for its blatant conflict with the Constitution. Despite this, which I guess could be over looked because there is also a Royal Decree which bans any form of Republicanism and Nazism (see Decree Concerning the Creation of Political Parties), this bill should be opposed because it is an attack on the civil liberties of the people of Kirkland. I yield the floor.

Mr. Speaker,

I must disagree with my colleague. It is my firm belief that communism in all its forms is a menace to the people of the world. This bill is necessary to prevent the nation from ever having a harsh political ideology forced on it. Must I remind my fellow Members of Parliament what people like Stalin and Mao did in Russia and China respectively. They killed hundreds upon thousands of people. Historians now believe that Stalin may have killed as many as 15 million people through a mixture of famine, executions, and gulags. We cannot allow this possibility to occur in Kirkland. I yield the floor.
