The Leftist AssemblyBoard

We were doing neither of those things, we were attacking an action that even you seem to agree was a mistake, something that separates the left, or at least something that should separate the left, is the ability to look at things critically, including themselves and to be open to criticism. If you North Korea doing something that would be harmful to the NSLeft or harmful in some other way I would be much more offended if you didn't call us out then if you did

Except it doesn't separate the left really and you're all acting rather childish. To pretend that statements like

"We have always been a small region of dedicated revolutionaries making big waves. I hope we never change. Maybe one day The Leftist Assembly will have a discussion about quality over quantity - and what makes their regional relationships valuable"

"I feel conflicted about TLA. I've gotten the impression that at least a few people there are uncomfortable with us specifically and I have little interest in the elections and laws that seem to take up a lot of time there. The legalistic justification given for breaking embassies with us (and FAC) reflects some real differences in perspective between our two regions"

Are somehow solely about the law itself and not questioning our integrity is patently ridiculous. Even if there's no ill will intended it's still clear that some think of us as an other.

My apologies I saw this post after my last one. I'll halt this discussion for now then.

No, it's alright. I just think it's best to let it cool off a bit. Wasn't addressed to you but if this discussion needs to be carried over we can do it at a later date:)

Those are all attacking this one policy, not the entire region, okay that second one maybe, although again that seems to be attacking specific people who seem to have a problem with North Korea, and you yourself even said you have some problems with bureaucracy

We understand that, I hope I've clarified that our region is not one which has such issues with yours:)

You have, and I don't have one with yours

My post was not questioning the integrity of TLA at all, no insult was intended. I did complement two comrades from here as well in the part you cut off...

We in NK view the region as a space for discussion and aren't concerned much with regional governments or minutiae involved with them at this point (are we or the FAC still in violation of the embassy policy for not really having them?). I see in hindsight that my stated lack of interest in regional laws and such may come off as derogatory; I didn't mean to imply your region's focus on them is incorrect or needs to be changed. It's simply a difference in how our regions approach NS. That's part of the value in both of our regions being part of the NSLeft and us having embassies, that there can be positive and fruitful exchanges between such diverse groups both in political views and in regards to individual preference for regional organization.

We do view embassies more importantly than others here apparently. In this case I view them as a symbol of camaraderie besides being a convenient means of communication between us. I assume that's part of why others struggled to understand why a law was seen as more important than our embassy.

Sorry for the absolute mess of regional officer appointments! I wrongly believed you could give two separate roles to the same nation, but it just turned out it renamed them, even when the two roles had different authorities. Then, after all of it was fixed, I saw that the spacing on the regional homepage was wrong between Senator and the respective ministerial portfolios, so I had to go through them all again to fix it.

All good now,

He's a real-life human bean.

Assemblians, what do you want to see in the 2nd Culture Competitions? Already locked in are the flag, coat-of-arms, and regional animal, but it'd be great to get more. Leave your suggestions here or PM me.

Maybe regional demonym?

Also, if anyone suggests changing the motto or anthem, they're getting a coup. The current ones are perfect.

Are you accusing that Assemblian is not the objectively correct demonym? :o

A regional flower or flora perhaps?

In terms of a new anthem, unfortunately, there aren't any good Soviet renditions of steamed hams but we can always go for this even if it's a bit stale https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dMIjN18uMI

I'm back!I don't know how active I'm going to be, but I'll try to actually be on here again :P
