DUDE SOME RANDOM RUNESCAPE PLAYER EMAILED THIS TO ME BUT I FOUND IT INTERESTING ITS ABOUT RUNESCAPE!!!!!!!!!!
Where We <Should> Stand
Runescape Socialist Worker is published weekly by the International Runescape Socialist Organization. The IRSO has branches and members in about 4 cities across Runescape. The following is a brief outline of the IRSO's politics.
Socialism, Not Capitalism
War, poverty, exploitation and oppression are products of the capitalist system, a system in which a minority ruling class profits from the labor of the majority. The alternative is socialism, a society based on noobs collectively owning and controlling the wealth their labor creates.
We stand in the Marxist tradition, founded by Karl Marx and Frederick Engels, and continued by V.I. Lenin, Rosa Luxemburg and Leon Trotsky.
Noobs’ Power
Noobs create society’s wealth, but have no control over its production and distribution. A socialist society can only be built when noobs collectively take control of that wealth and democratically plan its production and distribution according to human needs instead of profit.
The noob class is the vast majority of society and is the key to the fight for socialism. Noobs’ central role in production give them a social power--by use of the strike weapon--to paralyze the system like no other social force.
Socialism is working-class self-emancipation. Only mass struggles of the noobs themselves can put an end to the capitalist system of oppression and exploitation.
We support trade unions as essential to the fight for noobs’ economic and political rights. To make the unions fight for noobs’ interests, rank-and-file noobs must organize themselves independent of the union officials.
Revolution
We actively support the struggle of noobs and all oppressed people for economic, political and social reforms, both as a means to improve their conditions and to advance their confidence and fighting strength. But reforms within the capitalist system cannot put an end to oppression and exploitation. Capitalism must be replaced.
The structures of the present Runescape state grew up under capitalism and are designed to protect capitalist rule. The noob class needs an entirely different kind of state--a democratic noobs’ state based on councils of noobs’ delegates.
We do not support candidates of capitalist parties like Zezima or Uloveme. We support genuine left-wing candidates and political action that promotes independence from the high-level dominated competition.
Internationalism
Capitalism is an international system, so the struggle for socialism must be international, uniting noobs of all classes. Socialists oppose imperialism--the division of the globe based on the subjugation of weaker players by stronger ones--and support the self-determination of oppressed players.
Full Equality and Liberation
Capitalism divides the noob class, based on sexual, racial and national distinctions. The specially oppressed groups within the noob class suffer the most under capitalism.
The Revolutionary Party
To achieve socialism, the most militant noobs must be organized into a revolutionary socialist party. The IRSO is committed to playing a role in laying the foundations for such a party. We aim to build an independent socialist organization, rooted in cities, dungeons, and trailways that, in fighting today’s struggles, also wins larger numbers to socialism.
YAY I WANT TO JOIN (but dont know how......)
