Services in Councilism are a broad categories of economic activity recognized by the state that do not directly contribute to the creation, distribution, or preservaton of material resources in the state. Not all activities are incorporated into this category, which is similar in scope to the service sector under capitalism, but Councilist states have historically attempted to include and organize many economic activities that capitalist states do not such as gender specific labor (ie child-rearing, housekeeping, private cooking) and suppressed activities (ie gambling, recreational drug distribution, prostitution). Services under Councilism take many forms, but the Kirenian ideologue and market coordinator Aive Must developed a model for further categorizing and regulating service sector activities in her 1940 white paper Vastus Mittestandardsete Koostöötegevuste Tekkimisele Finantsjuhtimissüsteemis, which was written in response to faltering economic growth, which Must believed was the result of the Aprilist suppression of common financial instruments.

History

Aprilism and De-Securitization

During the 1919 April Revolution in Kirenia, one of the first actions taken by the Pooldaja (union militias) was to seize manufacturing assets and assess their financial state, which quickly expanded to an aggressive, public investigation of the credit industry. The Pooldaja were primarily interested in cancelling debts associated with the assets they had recently appropriated, but as the revolution wore on, it became clear to many prominent figures that a Jubilee would not solve the long term problems of the banking industry. Several committees were formed at the regional and local levels to investigate banks, lending agencies, and stockholders for fraud. Under several disparate proclimations made by competining interests groups within the revolution, the act of lending money itself was considered illegal and, as a result, rampant criminal conspiracies were uncovered across Kirenia, necessatating the formation of a national committee in 1924.

The Väärtpaberite ja Vahetusvahendustasu was initially principally occupied with volunteers from the former Pooldaja, now members of the Kirenian armed forces, and they aggressively identified and charged thousands of financial service workers with criminal conspiracy. Most of these individuals served in a supervisory role at banks, counting houses, or private accounting departments. They were generally fined for enourmous sums, but some who were caught perjuring were later executed. By 1926, however, Emperor Leopold IV of Werania was expanding the network of nations opposed to the Entente and the most prominent military members of the national government were drawn away towards other priorities. The Pooldaja committee was slowly replaced by civil servants who were more concerned with eliminating the influences of private capital instead of arresting former capitalists. In 1928, the Väärtpaberite ja Vahetusvahendustasu began to issue edicts that eliminated private debts and shares of equity. The progressed in stages, beginning with mortgaged agricultural land and progressing to personal loans. Their stated objective, which was nominally achieved before 1935, was to eliminated the need for financial instruments in Kirenia. Although the committee continued to hold inquiries and issue indictments until 1946, most of revits activities were transitioned to either trade congresses, which continued to acquire capital assets and mutually regulate important exchanges, and to the Great Council, which now clearly operated with the public mandate.

Throught this period, the litigious revolutionary government employed thousands of lawyers and judges, many of whom had no formal legal education, to prosecute and adjudicate the various class criminals and counter-revolutionaries. Some of these jurists felt that the largest trade unions in the nation were expanding too rapidly, accumulating billions of paberrahas of resources only tangentially associated with their productive activities. By 1932, there was an obvious animosity between the "desecuritization" jurists and the trade union congressses, both of which were well represented in the Great Council. A tumultous debate erupted when the Harimisaareke Steelworkers & Casters cooperative forced 13 farmers in the vicinity to join their union, several of which were promptly deemed redundant and evicted. The grain on those farms was considered necessary to feed the factory workers and was therefore an acceptable action at the time, although extremely contorversial. In 1935, Kirenia finally joined the Great War, however, and these debates were quietly tabled as the focus of the public turned towards mobilization.
