An Oasis in the Desert
eBE is a left-leaning welfare state. All citizens are entitled to a lot of social benefits that are totally unheard of in other countries. For can you name a few countries that offers citizen packs for all citizens regardless of the MU's they are in or what level and wealth they have? In most other countries, aid is need base and is not an entitlement. If you need food and weapons, you join a commune for get a job and you buy your own. Few if any countries try and attempt to do this. eNL tried something like this but in the end, such program lasted a few weeks due to budget issues. Also in the eNL system now, only people who works in the state MU's will get social benefits making it nothing more than a state commune and not really welfare.
There are also an issue of loans. All citizens regardless of their ranking can ask for a government loan. While there was a more focus land grant scheme which is recently put on hold due to budget issues, the focus and intentions of the eBE state is egalitarian in notion. The purpose of these programs are not only growth promotion for eBE government and mentality overall understands that eBE will not be a strong country. The purpose of these social benefits are purely for the benefit of the citizens and community. Whereas other states are offering some aid for strength and power promotion, eBE is doing it purely on community promotion and building.
While countries like eNL and eGermany do have some social welfare, it is only for the newbie players. Germany's Erste Hilfe do give newbie supplies. eNL also have a different kind of social service in a form of mentorship which while it is not supply base, it is community base. While eBE do have something like this, the eNL have a more comprehensive mentorship with a lot more advertising and awareness of it. The Dutch model design special programs just for newbies like raffles and a special mentor/ coaching IRC channel which are highly publicized and supported but the Dutch community. Most of the funding of newbie programs are from private donations of the established members of the community.
Apples and Oranges
eBE is indeed something unique for their welfare system gives all citizens equal access. It is hard to image in a different country, well established citizens like NLSP, Pieter, Critically, myself, etc can have access to free food and weapons for just being a citizen. This applies to the radical LCCers as well for people like Wim, Lin0 and A Vegans are in levels of high 20's and 30's. In many ways, eBE is really socialist in nature. The rich and the poor, the powerful and the weak gets the same amounts in terms of entitlement. Inevitability, you have radical elements like the LCC who are complaining about inequality pointing their fingers at the eBE military like that of the BNA but more specifically, the now defunct Para's. What they fail to understand is that defense spending is not welfare or an entitlement expenditure. While the Para's did benefit greatly, many like MaryamQ and others have to spend a lot of their own resources to find the Para's as well as the BNA and other social and defense related programs.
Like Bamboo
eBE while far from perfect, is for the most part is pretty equal. Equality is high compared to other countries for all have the same entitlements and while there is an elite in eBE, the political system is a lot more flexible. Being a CP might be difficult but overall congress is not unobtainable. The eBE congress is really open for all can debate in the congressional section. All citizens can start a topic as well as start a legislation which is not possible in most other countries.
Because every proletariat drives a ZIL 115 Limo...

eBE is one of the most transparent and open society in the eWorld in my opinion. But there are some radical few who thinks this is not enough. They have a crude understanding of Marxist doctrine and pushed for total equality and "mob rule." For total equality and mob rule referendums are total nonsense and harmful. For it is something that is unobtainable. Even with Marxist doctrine, all are not equal or totally classless. For there is a class of leaders and elites called the "Professional Revolutionaries" who are the government. Do you think these "Professional Revolutionaries" will work in the coal mines? Do you think these "Professional Revolutionaries" will drive their Trabant to work or be chauffeured in a luxury ZIL 115 limousine? Base on their history with their party politics, the LCC has an vision of party first and country second. They demand equality for the country while the party is closed to the public, ruled by a few elites. Their Operation Rotation does not allow democracy. Instead, it is a backroom deal. The eBE does not need their version of the left.
Last Stop, Stazione Termini
eBE is already a left-leaning paradise. It offers a lot of social benefits and welfare that is unheard of in other countries. It is focused on egalitarian and transparency. A Vegan, one of the radical LCC members in the past wrote a rather crude and short article "Why I Am An eCommunist" where he wrote the following.
"It seems most eRepublik politicians only have interested in making profit rates for companies higher.
The eCommunist politicians first think about the wellness of its citizens. It's the workers who make a country not the managers."
Well, if we look at eBelgium today, isn't the state putting our citizens as their main priority? The workers can choose a commune or a wage base job but have access to an very generous citizen package which allows them to grow. The community and government as a whole are citizen (or as he puts it, worker} base. Managers or as I put it, heroes, like MaryamQ, Tecuvo, Olv, and others who are SO's who work hard to help fund and run this welfare states are not heartless and greedy. It is these heroes that allow the leftist welfare paradise which we live in to exist. It is evident now that the LCC and their members are having a crisis. The revolution is turning at itself. They should of realized that they have won. eBE achieved their vision of an leftist welfare state with transparency and equal and fair opportunity. Instead, they work hard to destroy their original dream.

Hail the leftist wellfare state of eBelgium. Where all have an opportunity to get plenty of benefits, all they need to do is request it.
And for some, all this is not enough ...
Great article konrad
Cool
Nice article. : )
Praise be to Aldous!
I vote this down.
This is why....
How to write an article
Point 6 - Write the rough draft of the article as follows:
Tell your readers what you are going to tell them. This is your introduction. For example: This article explains how to create a PowerPoint slide presentation.
It covers the following information: choosing a theme, creating a title slide, and creating topic slides. The information in this article is written for a beginner. The author assumes that you have never used PowerPoint.
7- Tell your readers what you promised to tell them. In this section you tell them how to choose a theme, create a title slide, and how to create topic slides.Recap for your readers what you just told them. For example: This article taught you how to create a PowerPoint slide presentation. You learned how to choose a template, how to create a title slide, and how to create topic slides.
Hi Vincent Pain aka Wim, I did basically what you said and this is not a manual...
something to be proud of ♥
What a contrast to the Randian insanity of the eNL. If eBe is a model state, then eNL is a failed state.
Another bias article that is full of lies. I am not an LCC member, I am however the founder of the party you PTOed that later became the LCC. However I left the LCC and created HOPE long before you PTOed it. And how can you quote an article written two years ago when eBe was COMPLETELY different? When we had zero of the programs that are running now and more importantly when you wheren't even an eBe citizen. How long are you eBe citizen again?
Also my experience lvl is higher than yours. Why do you call yourself a powerful member? We (you and me) are mediocre players to say much..
So no I wouldn't call this a good article. A lot of blabla, a lot of assumptions and untruths, a lot of trying to place some again in the corner but good? nee toch niet
@Nohjis: What we need to request them, aww man my precious time 😛
@Vegan, all I see is a lot no you are wrong and I am correct blablabla. You and I are nothing alike and only noobs deals with experience levels. You are in inexperience radical noob that have no comprehension of the game and the community. For all you deal with is rhetoric. You claim 2 years ago you want a welfare state and now eBE is an welfare state, you now support the LCC PTOers inviting Poles and Greeks to destroy the community we live in. Many in eBE are disappointed in you.
Your action speaks louder than words. Most considers you a liability in the community. You pride yourself as being long in the community but your history here is stain with controversy. At one point you even tried to recruit active members of eBE to leave eBE since you are not happy with some members of the community. Even old moderates like Bok etc considered you a threat. Your history does not paint that of a loyal member of society. You are not a team player. You are a far left radical.
Konrad your strength and military rank are also mediocre at best. That is a fact. Experience lvl is still a good starting point. You don't need to be a noob to see that.
Clearly some people dislike me but at the same time a lot like me. The same could be said about you. The only difference that you have done ZERO for this community. Only made controversy and spread hate.
I am proud to be a far left radical. Maybe that far left radical side of me has helped to make eBe what it is today..
I still need to search what you have done to this country. Ok you have spread hate but for the rest??
Last important thing konrad did for us was saving a top 5 party from PTO'ers, while nobody else had the guts to do it.
A Vegan, why don't you come on the forum and explain us your ideas. I believe some of them will be very good, some won't be realistic and others will be utopic. But we need to know them before congress can do something with it.
This fight is going on for several months now. Try to end it and be constructive, or keep throwing mud at each other and admit you love it.
I am not throwing mud. Have I ever made an article that talked about Konrad? I think not.
I am not active enough to give proposals anymore. And I do not believe in the forum anymore. Currently I am more or less a two clicker.
What top5 party did Konrad save from PTOers? Clearly it wasn't the BCP or LCC as I had made agreements with its members (behind the screens) that they would not let in others anymore without acceptance of the government. Those people who you call PTOers are active eBe
citizens who have another opinion than most of us but none the less they believe in the best for eBe and have the right to have a party. What changed because konrad PTOed that party? They could still run for congress so they could still give cs passes. What changed happened behind the screens by so called radicals not by someone who likes to write long articles and sees himself as a top player..
What I have done in my "short" time here.
-Prevented PTO
-New Rulings Book for the SC
-Become SC Justice and ruled on at least 3 cases (case dealing with Shadow)
-Adviser for RD's administration
-Adviser of alliances for Nohjis.
-Tried to introduce a bill on more Judicial transparency but did not have enough support.
Many more that I missed or forgot.
There are more but I do not remember all of my deeds in eBE.As to my overall career
-3 time CP of eGer
-One of the founder of PHX
-PP of Ger's largest party for 7 months
-PP for NL's GLD for 4 months
-MoFA for eGer for at least 6 months
-MoFa for eNL for 2 months
-MoI of eNL for 4 months
-Wrote many treaties for eGer the most famous was the Frankfurt Treaty
Many more that I do not recall. While I am not trying to brag, but do not compare me to you for we are not on the same league.
- 3 times a day jerk off over my medals
only browsed the article (will read tomorrow) but when I couldn't disagree more with "eBE is one of the most transparent and open society in the eWorld in my opinion"
in fact, the opposite is the case. Very closed narrow minded society, very conservative, against something new, a hyper fear of strangers and growth possibilities, a forum that's completely locked down (in other countries fora are visible to guests and all)...
So actually you have never done anything for eBe and all at once you are in the SC. Btw I wasn't asking what you did for enemies of eBe but for eBe itself. a small difference but a very important one...
I guess you are ignorant of eBE history as well. I was an active congressman before being SC. I repealed NPNG. I was an adviser for MG and others. What about you, what did you do besides helping the enemies of eBE by aiding their PTO efforts. If you consider your neighbors are enemies, you vindicate my point that you are inexperience and totally unfit for any leadership position. Our neighbors like the Dutch as well as the Germans and did prevent LCC and G50 PTOs...
@Shadow, I have a feeling that you will disagree with this article.Your position can be said to be against some elements of the community. While you can say some are narrow-minded etc, the issue with your case is an violation of the law. While I understand your position, I guess I am saying the openness of opportunity. I am not taking a side on the loan issue, but if you do repay it, most or all your situation would not happen. As to forums, most do not allow all citizens to have equal say.
We need to move to a conservative view, and stop giving all the money away, methinks.
konra😛 I'm not talking about my loan or any of that. I'm talking about the fact that we have the most fascist immigration policy possible with the most narrow minded people at the head of this immigration deciding organ. I'm talking about the fact that 1 on 10 people who applies only gets accepted. I'm talking about the fact that 1 man (the non-elected immigration officer) gets to chose who gets in and who doesn't.
I'm talking about the fact that if 2 people from the same country apply for CS everyone starts shouting "PTO!!!! PTO!!!!" and that I've seen how so many, intelligent contributing people where not allowed access out of a irrational fear of a PTO that has never happened
eBE is a fascist dictatorship where a small group of non elected officials can punish democratically elected officials for using the powers IG admins gave them.
I applaud the praise upon Belgium's welfare system, which makes this country very unique and special.
However, I fear this article is based upon subtle criticism of a group or a person, rather than the actual purpose of the article, of the welfare state that we have.
Shadowukcs there have been several PTO attacks on eBelgium in the past year and if none succeeded so far it's not because they didn't happen, it's because we took action as a whole. I do agree that there is a big part of paranoia applied in certain cases but I largely prefer safe borders to an invasion, especially in a politically weak country like eBelgium.
Avegan for CP i would say!!
"Shadowukcs there have been several PTO attacks on eBelgium in the past year and if none succeeded so far it's not because they didn't happen, it's because we took action as a whole."
lol this is exactly what I mean with you striking fear into the minds of the people. We never had a PTO attack. We had 5 greeks fled greece to find a new place trying to win a few congress seats for themselves and start over.
And then everyone starts yelling "oh god it's PTO", giving you reasons to make even more strict immigration rules and giving you even more absolute power and control. You don't even know what a real PTO is. You've never dealt with one and never organised on. Just because 5 people from the same country come to eBE, doesn't make them PTO'ers. Nor does it gives any reason to believe that if they where, they'd have any chance of being succesful.
You just use it to get your agenda done because fear is a better motivator than anything else. They've been using your tactics for a long time now. And we all know what happened last time people gave in to a fear implanted by their leader
In fact I'm not talking about the Greeks and if you actually knew anything like the investigative journalist you pretend to be would, you would know I don't consider them as a serious PTO threat. These are people that come and go to get a congress medal here and nothing else. What I talk about is the Polish PTO where I did follow who was online for 15 hours to find a bunch of multies in a Presidential election. Or the Macedonian attempt where we had to wipe part of the country.
Nothing ever came close to something we couldn't handle. Oh and I consider neither of those real PTO' attempts. Come back when your "resumé" (as you like to dickwave so much about) has at least one real defence and one real organising attempt of a PTO on it.
Findly Belgium is getting a brain. Thank you Shadowukcs and AVegan.
The only one trying to wave with so called past references around is you shadowukcs. How dare you even speak about what is a threat and what isn't when you weren't even around (as in not playing the game at the time of the Polish PTO attempt). I'm rather happy we never had something that we couldn't handle actually, it means that the paranoia is serving something. Perhaps it'll be a bit easier for people to join eBe with the political module changes, who knows...
The threath is on you Nohjis, what you are doing is very clearly conscious manipulation, whereby you consciously spread fear amongst the mass. You are doing this the same way as the conservative right ruling class in rl ?
