Letters of Address

*In the early years of Valencia’s reign, the economic advisor at the time, Alexandría de Cèsare, wrote a series of treatises defending the revolutionary ideas and the preservation of them to the maximum. These “Letters of Address”, written to the people of Valadórra,  aim to begin a permanent revolution so as to never let the revolution be corrupted by the greed of men. Here are a few choice essays outlining the dangers Alexandría felt like threatened the revolution, and how she thought to combat them:*

General Thoughts

In accordance with the standard set forth by the revolution, we must build a strong enough foundation for our nation to continue for perpetuity and posterity. The matter speaks of its own importance. This nation was forged by the blood of our brothers and the pens of our fathers. Our revolution must stand for the bright idealism of today, and not fall into the grim pragmatism of tomorrow. We stand upon the edge of the world, the precipice of a new age of enlightened, revolutionary thinking. All areas of our society must make way for the revolution, and any old guard rot must be removed by knife and blade. The nation we choose to build is only as strong as we are, and so we must be strong in the face of danger. Ink and Blood are the tools of the revolution, for where one fails, the other will succeed, yesterday I used blood, today I use ink.

When we look back and see the flaws of our previous government, we see systems built on the oppression of peoples who had not the wish to be oppressed. We overthrow our tyrants with sheer force of will. Standing on the battlefield, we had everything to lose, the desperation only revolution could cause drove our victory. Our enemies staggered home, wounded, but still working. Should we have lost, we would have seen the complete and utter destruction of our own state, the safety of which allows me to write these letters.

The supremacy of our will lead us to victory, and so it will do so in the future. The fires of revolution burn not in the fields of our enemies, but in our hearts. As long as our will is stronger than our enemy we will defeat them every single time, we will outlast them by centuries. For as long as the revolution lives, so will our nation.

Complete devotion to the revolution is not an option, it is a necessity for the survival of our nation. Anything less will corrupt the purity of men and women. The revolution burns away our impurities of former conservative rot. With every moment of our waking lives we must dedicate ourselves to this nation, for if we do not, what did our fathers and brothers die for? Should we not do so, and create strong institutions, we may as well have never had a revolution at all. You mean to hand us over to the enemies, which surround us on every side, by betraying the revolution. Those searching for power in this revolution, and keep tugging at that gilded thread, will unravel the whole tapestry sewn with pens and dyed with blood.

So we must make motions to secure our state. The revolution cannot simply stop now that the war is over. The war will never end, the war against enemies of the revolution. We must accelerate our state, revolutionizing our society from the individual to the culture to the state, and if we do so, the world will be all the better for it.

The Dangers of Foreign Enemies

The hearts of men within our nation are at threat to the vices of *Malvado* and his friends. Where he finds his power is within those who seek the destruction of our state through the destruction of our wills. These foreign foes see the danger of our revolution to their immoral power through the superiority of our moral strength. We seek to destroy not the state, but only the institutions of evil and vice seen across our world, and so we must export our revolution like any other trading good, and we must export it in order to survive and also in order to free our fellow peoples across the world.

Knowledge spreads like fire in a forest. Once the wick of the candle catches, the entire forest may as well be burned down. The revolution is an inevitable force of nature, for wherever it goes, the people will accept its gospel. Its superiority over any other system is apparent, and the force of its strength will be pushed by all oppressed peoples. Other nations of our time are the tinder that the revolution will set alight. Our pens must fly like the angels, and may the will of the revolution carry our hands as our words shatter worlds and our ink poisons the bloated and unjust states. Our revolution will bring divine karma upon those who have abused their power, and it will carry up those who are trodden down for so long, for they wish not to oppress, but only to be free, and therefore should lead morally and justly.

Pens cannot write walls, however, and in order to preserve our revolution at home, we must spread it abroad by sword and steel. As long as we push the good that we support, our nation will follow that good. In war, we were at our most heightened state of elation, floating, weightless, upon the tide of victory. As long as the revolution continues to bring victory, which it shall by its moral magnanimity, it will survive eternally into the future, and so should our state of perpetual revolution and motion continue into the future. We do not want the lands of our enemies for our nation, but we want their lands to burn with revolution, and with this we will be unified not in government, but in heart and mind.

It would be cruel of us to not free our fellow brothers and sisters from the evils which rule their lands and hearts. It would not be in the spirit of the revolution to be selfish in our ownership over it. The revolution is not the property of any one state or individual, but the rightful inheritance of the world. It serves us well to have other states promoting the good we spread, but it serves the revolution even better. As much as we care about our own nation, we must care for others for the sake of the revolution.

Where words fail, swords fall, and when enemies surround us, we cannot ignore them. Entering into agreements with them tarnishes our nation, and so the revolution would rust if we did so. A constant and eternal state of war we must be in, just as the revolution was forged into. Our state was born into war, and so there in the future lies its destiny, the perpetual spread of the revolution through any means we may acquire.

Dangers of Internal Enemies

A state is made up of men, and in the heart and minds of men is a state. One is a macrocosm of the other. So just as there are dangers within our nation, there are dangers within the hearts of men. The political divisions within the state only seek to divide us and lead us away from revolutionary splendor, and these political divisions are fueled by the divisions within man himself.

Political divisiveness only leads to anarchy, and compromise. We cannot build a nation upon compromise, we will not compromise with traitors. The moment when we compromise our ideals, our state no longer follows its primary function and purpose. Any dissidents without discipline who seek to divide our dutiful state must be removed. Factionalism in our government. Without restraint, we must unify against the true enemies of the revolution, for if we are not of pure hearts within our nation, we will fail to expand its reach properly to the other peoples, and we will fail to defend the revolution even here, as it falls from the inside and out.

Our nation is not made up of groups, it is made up of people, a single, revolutionary minded people. We have the grace to be the birthplace of the revolution, which will bring about the reckoning of all the world. The hearts of those that drive the revolution are full of vice and evil, however. For this revolution to succeed, we must achieve peace in ourselves, and dedicate our lives to the revolution. With our dedication, the revolution serves us, and we will be free from our chains that bind us, for we are free people, and free people deserve justice and liberty. We must make sure that we do not oppress ourselves under our own greed.

Concluding Remarks

When we devoted ourselves to the revolution, we were promised three things, Independence, Liberty, and Justice, we will never settle for less. These ‘Triple Freedoms’ are what we define ourselves by, and any infringement on these fundamental rights gifted to us by the revolution and the blood of those who fought for these freedoms. We will not sully the sacred blood of the revolutionary by betraying their revolution which we inherit and have the obligation to continue.

Other nations are powered by Fear, Guilt and Shame. Fear of the Tyrant killing you, torturing you, killing your families and burning your fields and homes. Guilt at breaking unjust laws created by someone who has no authority over the free man. Shame at dishonoring those leaders who have no honor in themselves. Our nation is not held back by these factors, instead we are accelerated forward by the elation of the revolution. Happiness at the freedoms it grants you, the right to serve in a system that others never had a part in before.

The security in revolution is always in danger, no matter how strong we build our institutions. The roses of revolution blossom only when watered by us. If we want these freedoms, we must work together to build up the institutions of revolution. Institutions are not meant to run a state, but to perpetuate the freedoms and security a state could provide, to make sure that the state does not infringe on the rights of the people it claims lordship over.

One day, the revolution may deliver us, but we must deliver ourselves, as we are burdened with this glorious purpose. We must rise above the cacophony to sing in one beautiful chorus for the world to hear, and we will sing the hymns of revolution. Constantly changing and warping our society in order to support our ideals to the best of our abilities. As the world changes, we must change to make sure the revolution does not, no matter what it takes, we will sacrifice everything.
