Xsampa

The curious case of Socialist International; Or rather, the lack of one.

In the past, the crowning achievement of Xsampa was the Socialist International (SocIntern), a collection of various socialist states, of diverse branches of socialism, all united in the struggle against capitalism and imperialism. However, the Socialist International has.. seen better days. Ever since Istalian socialism was forcibly dismantled in the 5580s and Baltusia underwent it's "Silver Revolution" in the 5640s, SocIntern has gradually declined with the only two formal members states remaining being Xsampa and Zardugal. However since then, times have changed. Tukarali has turned towards socialism, Nadiya has (to questionable degrees) turned towards communism and of course, there is the.. curious case of Utaristan and it's social fascistic approach to governing, polluting the Revolution. But with the emergence of new strands of socialism, it begs the question of if SocIntern can be revived once more?

And to that, the answer is; it depends. It depends on if SocIntern can maintain momentum to be restored and if it can be agreed what SocIntern exactly is. Is it a collection of strictly socialist states? An organization of political parties and movements committed to the advancement of socialism, irregardless of specific ideology? Should SocIntern follow a dogmatic approach and approach a "one size fits all" mindset? Be flexible and open to all strands of socialism? What about economic cooperation? Military support? The questions are endless. And the most important question that has to be answered if any attempt at a revival of SocIntern is to occur; Should there be a reconciliation with the Vanguard Socialists?

A unification of the Socialist World could certainly put capitalism on its toes and show the world that the spirit of communism is alive and well. It would allow a United Front to occur between all branches of Socialism and show that the international working class is firmly united. On the contrary however, Vanguard Socialism has shown itself to be dangerous to the working class, often exploiting the workers with a managerial class instead of just the bourgeoisie. And that's not accounting for the tense relations between Xsampa and Utaristan. And the Communist Party of Xsampa is firmly hostile to Utaristan, both due to the Custodian Crisis and the party manifesto of Mass Democracy opposing authoritarian socialism just as much as capitalism. Those issues would have to be overcome if SocIntern is to be restored and the Communist World is to be reunified. 

But, if it can be done then perhaps, just perhaps the momentum towards socialist unity can survive and SocIntern or even a new ideal can be established and international socialism can have a new breathe of life. But, it is worth remembering that leftist unity is a fickle thing and the biggest threat to socialism is often internal infighting.
