Life Of The Party, Part 1: The Three Tenets

Defining the ideology and beliefs of the New Earth Commonwealth is a more difficult task than might be expected, considering that most non-Party member citizens of the NEC would not be able to explain what they actually believe in beyond the rote recitation of cliches. They can likely identify it as neofascism and quote the Three Tenets, but little else could be expected. The Party holds that the core foundations of its ideology stem from self-evident truths, so it sees no need to explain them in any detail. Historical analysis is only useful in a limited sense, as despite the Party’s insistence that it has maintained the same philosophy since its original foundation as the Siberian Conservative Reform Party over a century ago, in practice its beliefs have swung wildly over time as different subfactions seized and then lost power. The only consistent elements have been national chauvinism and paranoia. The current Three Tenets of the Party were only set down during the managership of Dasim Solvalov at the tail end of the Reunifcation War, and have changed significantly under his successor Aran Wulf as interstellar conquest became the NEC’s primary goal. Given these factors, these reports will focus only on what the average registered Party member would be expected to know and would be approved to say. This first installment will examine the Three Tenets and how they are mobilized within NEC society.
