| Southern Socialist Union: 1st Constitutional Convention |
|
Now begins the meeting of every nation member of the Southern Socialist Union, also known as the SSU.
The objectives of this convention are confirming the structure and defining the content of the soon to be Charter of the Southern Socialist Union. That's why the main points to deal with are the following:
Note: Here is where the drafts must be presented, fixed and ratified for the production of the official charter.
On the matter of running the alliance: a central committee or council would, in my opinion, work the nest for the purposes of this organization.

Sporaltryus believes that a draft of the Charter should be first written by the Voodoo People's Republic of Bruuma.
Jasper Henn President of Sporaltryus and Aquica Ah, the wonders of technology. I'm on Tapatalk!
Agreed.
VPRB, can you write a basic draft to deal with the mentioned points so we can have something more malleable to work with?
The Voodoo People's Republic will provide the draft as soon as possible. The governement has been busy with coordinating further efforts of its forces in Darkstrait and will now work on the Charter.

I did not include elections and terms as I believe all Parties should be equal in their Role. Punitive actions and even punishment I believe shoud be discussed collectively.

After carefully reading the First Draft, especially the Prologue and the Articles 1, 2 and 3; I consider essential to define "Socialism" beforehand to avoid confusion and misconceptions by third parties with concepts such as communism or totalitarianism. Hence, I recommend the originally proposed one in the Social Contract by Jean-Jacques Rousseau: Implicit agreement among the members of a society to cooperate for social benefits, for example by sacrificing some individual freedom for state protection. To clarify, a difference with Communism is that Socialism calls for EQUITY of opportunities (a floor to begin developing) instead of EQUALITY of wealth (limiting rooftop for development). Therefore, Socialism accepts individual property and personal growth. Also, regarding Totalitarianism, Socialism only requires a part of the personal liberties to avoid anarchy, not the full extent of them; such is considered an abuse of power and an insult to the name "Socialist". I propose these concepts and clarifications to be considered in the Prologue.
I believe that a clause defining the method by which this charter can be changed is needed.
