Volksrevolution (doctrine)

Die Volksrevolution is a doctrine put forward in the Red Hessian movement around 806 A.S. and adopted as policy in 814 A.S. after a endorsement by Brigadegeneral Meisnerr of the Red Hessian Army.

Doctrine

The doctrine assumes a number of positions:

1. The Rheinland Military is an apparatus of the fascist state and will continue to fight for as long as it can until the government of Rheinland is done away with. Hence, the total destruction of the Rheinland Military is not in the interest of the workers.
2. The people of Rheinland are to be assisted and encouraged to join the popular movements. Rheinland citizens in general do not support the state, and are sympathetic to the Volksrevolution. Only the corporations Daumann, Kruger and Republican are direct supporters of the state and must be hindered whenever possible.
3. The Corsairs and all their allies are a mortal enemy of all the people of Rheinland, and must be subdued once the people's government is in place. Until then, the Red Hessian movement must hold the line and ensure a swift conquest of Omega-5 by whatever means necessary.
4. The Red Hessian movement should seek revolutionary allies abroad to finance and spread its operations, eventually encouraging Sirius wide revolution. Revolutionary forces operating in other houses and regions strengthen Rheinland's revolution, as they impede possible interventions from unfriendly governments. The Red Hessian movement cannot impede foreign popular revolutions, as it would be against the common interests of the workers.
5. The final goal of the Red Hessian movement is a worker's government in place on New Berlin, and a consequent People's State of Rheinland's domination of the upper Omega systems (Omega-3, Omega-5, Omega-7, Omega-11, Omega-54).

In an addendum, the doctrine assumes the liberated Rheinland's state as being the beginning of a Sirius wide revolution, and most of all requires the Hessian movement to continue to help supply and manage revolutions abroad. The internationalist stance of the doctrine is perhaps its most distinguishing point from regular Red Hessian operations.

Opposition

There has been opposition to the doctrine within the Red Hessian movement, most notably by Hermann Vogt, a continuing member of the Revolutionary Council. Those who oppose the doctrine frequently cite the inability to maintain international diplomacy between many of the other movements. A counter doctrine, Rheinlandskrieg, was proposed, that would focus the Red Hessian movement strictly on deposing the Rheinland government, cutting itself off from all foreign bodies with the exception of the most vital trades.
