The Posadist Revolutionary Union is the ruling party of Posadastan. It was founded in 1962 as a caucus within the then-ruling Revolutionary Worker's Party, but the caucus was expelled in 1967 forcing them to create their own party, which they named after the group of anonymous writers calling themselves "J. Posadas," who discussed many fringe ideas, but later went on to rule the country from 1975 to the present day. Their rule over Posadastan has been incredibly turbulent, but has seen an overall general progression in the well-being of the population. The party's rule has been described by some as "totalitarian" and "Orwellian," but the lack of criticism permitted inside the country, as well as its heavily funded propaganda and media wings makes it hard to find any general or widespread criticism within the nation.

History

Policies

The official mainline stance of the PRU is to maintain a permanent people's revolution across all of Telrova. To this end, they claim the official ideology to be Leninism-Troskiism-Posadism thought. However, as they've cemented their rule in Posadastan, they've adopted a more official platform, as follows:

Permanent Revolution

The idea that the revolution is a constant, global event, one that must be spread and supported everywhere by whatever means necessary. This incurs an official policy of no compromise with all those deemed by the party as bourgeois, revisionists, counter-revolutionaries, or reactionaries unless under extreme circumstances. The PRU also maintains a highly anti-revisionist stance, ousting anyone who is internally critical of its actions.

Proletarian Internationalism

This is the belief that it is the responsibility of all communists to, if in the position to do so, bring about communism everywhere. This includes funding, organizing and training other communist groups abroad and actively aiding the struggles of all foreign communist, anti-imperialist and self-determinationist political and social movements in other nations, whether it be openly or covertly.

Atomic War

The notion of "Atomic War," or "Nuclear First Strike," is one of the central and unique tenets of Posadism. It is the notion of a preemptive nuclear strike on all capitalist nations as a means to end capitalism immediately and ignite a global communist revolution, and to then bring the world under a single communist state. They also believe the should work together with all nuclear-armed communist nations, regardless of their smaller ideological quarrels, to carry out this task.

Cetacean Liberation

Posadists beleive that humans and cetacean species (namely dolphins) will one day be able to communicate and work side-by-side. They believe in freeing all cetaceans held captive and in working with them and training them to actively work with humans. This was largely influenced by the fact that one early posadist writer was a dolphin trainer and marine biologist, but the idea is considered second-rate by the party.

Apocalypse Communism

Following the concept of "Atomic war," the party has a focus on rebuilding the world in a communist manner whilst situated in a post-capitalist and post-apocalyptic world order, establishing a fundamentally communist society. They believe a fully communist Telrova is only possible through an apocalyptic means of ending capitalism.

Scientific Progressivism

Perhaps one of the more light-hearted principles of Posadism, they believe Capitalism has effectively oppressed/utilized science for the means of killing people and furthering its [capital's] own ends. Posadists seek to liberate science from its capitalistic oppression, and use it to achieve a Utopian socialist future under the guidance of science, to the benefit of all people. This includes actively looking into space exploration and transhumanist policies, as well as the idea of cybernetics.

Cosmic Communism

Sometimes just called "Cosmism" of "Ufology," this is the Posadist belief that Communism is the idoelogy of the cosmos. They believe that for advanced alien civilizations to have achieved interstellar travel, they must have united globally under an idoelogy akin to communism in order to combine their scientific efforts towards a united end, and they would have transcended any need for war and conflict. So, whenever the full communist liberation of Telrova occurs, Posadists believe that Alien civilizations will see this and finally decide to reach out to humans and help us achieve vast scientific achievements.

Bunkerization

Bunkerization incurs the mass construction of bunkers, shelters, and tunnels throughout Posadastan. This policy is believed to be of great importance for the long-term defense of the nation and its people. It focuses on turning many large metro stations and other urban areas into underground bunkers, as well as the construction of some rural bunker lines. Some may be connected by tunnels, and there have allegedly been large tunnel systems, sometimes called "underground cities," built in the mountains of Posadastan. While this policy is no secret, the programs are, and it is unknown how many bunkers and kilometers of tunnels have been built, but some estimates state that as much as 1% of the population (approx. 180,000 people) may live in these subterranean outposts. It is also estimated that there is enough bunker space for nearly 40-45% of the population, as most large apartment buildings, government structures, metro networks, and military bases contain masses of bunkers and connected tunnels.

Cybernetics

Alongside the focus on scientific progress, Posadists believe in striving for a fully automated and computerized economy. While certain logistical problems are posed by this, as well as some political resistance from rural party representatives, small parts of the economy and infrastructure (such as most urban public transport) have already been fully or partly automated.
