[US Communist Party John Lenin declares his candidacy for president]
First, for the presidential race to begin in 52, John Lenin, the only member of the Communist Party and the rising star of national progress, declared his candidacy for president.
“When I announced my candidacy for president, many people asked me. It is not what you have done, but what you will do, He said to give us a vision. So I came up with a vision.”
Lenin was more serious than ever. Supporters were waving placards that read “Lenin is Alive”, but as he began to speak, they were silent for a moment, concentrating on his speech.
“The New Deal presented by President Roosevelt! working government! This, too, is an attractive vision. Since then, President Wallace’s vision for an egalitarian society has come to me as a novelty. Mr. MacArthur… Hmmmmm… After all, I too can speak of a vision! You can do it in words. But what would that mean!”
When MacArthur appeared, the crowd burst into laughter and then silenced again.
“The society I want to create is an egalitarian society. A society where blacks and whites are truly equal! A society where the government really works for the citizens! As long as justice discriminates against the color of skin and education discriminates against income, an egalitarian society is only a tale and cannot be realized. I intend to make that slogan and vision a reality.”
“Wow! Lenin! Lenin! Lenin!”
“Lenin is alive! Lenin is alive! Lenin will live!”
Lenin waved to the cheers of his enthusiastic supporters. He was supported by tens of thousands of American Communists from all over the country waving red flags.
At this time, the party power of the American Communist Party was so strong that it was said to have 1 million members nationwide. This time, the first choice for those who entered the campaign with the determination to get single-digit votes and 1% or more in the presidential election was the extension of the middle road.
“We will impeach MacArthur and McCarthy!”
And that means was the impeachment of MacArthur and McCarthy.
* * *
“What? These black motherfuckers… impeachment?”
“Yeah, yes.”
“What is Ha-won doing? damn!”
When the failure of the Vanguard rocket, and MacArthur’s urging behind it, became known, public opinion began to seep into anger.
“How much tax was blown away because of MacArthur! In India, in the Middle East, and even to Japanese guys? I heard you criticize me for giving it to rednecks… We ended up giving it to those who actually went to war.”
“To make the Vanguard shoot quickly and spend tens of thousands of dollars to blow up that expensive rocket… God my God. The president is an irresponsible person who made such a judgment!”
“impeachment? good. Except that damn McCarthy can step into the presidency and see.”
The Republican Party, which was accidentally blown away with MacArthur, began to argue internally as to what to do with the party argument.
“Do you think participating in the impeachment will evade responsibility? Preventing the worst catastrophe of impeachment and purging the MacArthurs after presenting a normal candidate in the next presidential election… .”
“You have to lose your hand right now! That way you can avoid even the slightest bit of what they’ve done! Damn why… .”
Are you avoiding responsibility by losing MacArthur and joining the impeachment process? Or do you avoid the stigma of being the party that produced the first president to be impeached?
Either way, the Republican Party was destined for something akin to ruin, so the seniors struggled with the future of the party.
‘Should I go to the Democratic Party now? .’
‘Or, using the fact that the Communist Party came up with the impeachment proposal first as an excuse, to run a redneck like McCarthy… Reds are right too!’
But no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t get it to stick. The public outrage at MacArthur’s repeated mistakes was enormous and reached a point where a few simple political tricks could not be overturned.
“Everyone! Everyone! Please pay attention!”
“Uh, what’s going on?”
A man ran into the conference room that the seniors had made into a raccoon den for smoking. People were startled when a person who held a fairly responsible position in the Republican Party, although not enough to be in this position, ran with sweat from his forehead.
“There was a massive protest!”
* * *
“Can you hear the songs of angry people! The shouts of the people!”
“O the song of the people that I will never be a slave again!”
Do you hear the People’s song. A loud, muffled tune that I couldn’t hear even if I couldn’t hear it resounded through the city.
“Impeach MacArthur! Impeach!”
“impeachment! impeachment! impeachment!”
Thousands of people have already started marching in front of the Houses of Parliament. Under U.S. law, the impeachment of the president was possible by a vote of the National Assembly. A small protest by college students, which started to show to the lawmakers, began to grow bigger and bigger with the confluence of tie troopers and housewives who started to leave work.
“impeachment! impeachment!”
bread! bread! It was not about honking the horns at the protesters blocking the road. Drivers who saw the protest on their way home honked their horns and began to show their support to the protesters.
bread bread bread
Vehicles honked their horns in a rhythmic beat, and improvised posters and placards began to appear on the ranks in an instant.
“A World Without War, Without MacArthur”
The order had not yet been issued, so the police were just letting the protesters go, just watching. Since there were also no authentic objects such as torches or firearms, the protesters smiled and exchanged greetings with the police, handing out pamphlets, and encouraging participation after work.
“Are you coming from work too?”
“Ha ha ha ha ha… Is that so… ?”
A picture of MacArthur from among the protesters slowly burned to ashes.
I didn’t know MacArthur was watching it through a telescope from afar.
“Ugh… Those bastards… .”
“… .”
“I’ll give the police a riot order right now! No, not the police… Let us mobilize the army.”
“Yes???”
Even the thoughtless MacArthur yesmen knew what it meant to mobilize the military to quell the protests.
The modern state was born out of a monopoly of violence. Internal violence was shared by the police and external violence by the military. Breaking this principle and sending troops trained to shoot at foreign enemies in domestic affairs is… .
“dismissal… that is… .”
“They can’t just be rioters! Only 10% are real mobs, the rest are protesters and red spies put in by the Communist Party! I don’t know how many people will be instigated if I just leave them alone, so do you mean to just leave them alone?”
Those who knew MacArthur bowed their heads.
It is because of the incident that overthrew the Hoover regime during the Great Depression and the suppression of the Bonus Army. MacArthur said similar words back then, using tanks and cavalry to shove away former veterans who demanded overdue wages and bonuses.
Only 10% are real protesters. MacArthur insisted on it then, and now, when the paranoid fear of the Soviet Union has spread, he seems to believe it like a rock.
‘No, I don’t think we’re going to use real tanks, are we?’
The people who saw MacArthur’s anger earlier began to worry about their own things.
Sending tanks from the United States to push the people away! Neither Nazi Germany nor the fascist Japanese Empire did that to their own people.
I didn’t know if that was the case, and if I got involved with MacArthur, I would spend the rest of my life rotting in prison. The ministers slowly started to avoid their seats one by one, noticing them.
“I’m sorry, but I was rushed to the office… .”
“Ugh, my stomach hurts, so I’m going to go to the bathroom.”
Those who have been in the position of making this decision may become rebels for a long time. Seeing the opportunists and MacArthur’s power, the yes-men, who were obsessed with them, began to run away quietly one by one in search of their own way.
“I will ask the party to cooperate on how to deal with this protest… hey!”
bang! MacArthur banged on the table when the party story came out.
“All those damn opportunists who didn’t immediately rebut and object must have something on their minds! It’s all in one go!”
“… .”
not a word Knowing that the Republican insiders were contemplating how to cut MacArthur in the cleanest way, cabinet members struggled to avoid paying attention. As time passed without meaning, a bodyguard ran in.
“dismissal! Those demonstrators are trying to encamp near the National Assembly!”
“… You bastards who aren’t even dogs.”
MacArthur, who had completely dismissed them as rednecks, trembled and slammed the armrest.
“Take them all out! Bring Hoover! I want them to be charged with anything and put them in jail for now. That will make it a little quieter.”
“Ah… Okay.”
Outside the window, a sparse line of people rushed past the Penn Quarter to the Houses of Parliament. When I thought that they were all spies who had been hiding from somewhere, I had goosebumps on my back.
“The field, let’s connect the field once.”
“Yes, sir.”
Near the Capitol was a camera the White House had placed to monitor the situation fully. Two big agents whimpered and came in with a big screen TV, fiddling around with the electronics, and the TV turned on.
“… Those guys?”
“Ah… me… what… .”
A huge white statue stood on the screen. If you guess at the angle, the direction the statue’s hand is pointing is the White House.
Near the statue of the woman, holding a torch in one hand and pointing to the White House, people were singing and chanting slogans with joy.
“How dare you do so with the symbol of a free America!”
The design was a statue of liberty by anyone looking at it. Except for pointing to the White House like a goddess who leads to the battlefield instead of holding a book with one hand.
This seemed to provoke MacArthur’s anger even more. On the topic of rednecks! How dare anti-American forces insult the great American symbol like that!
Having barely calmed his trembling hands, he beckoned to the defense minister.
“Yes? dismissal?”
“… Mobilize.”
“Who, who should you mobilize?”
“Are you deaf! Mobilize the 1st Marine Division and the 2nd Panzer Division! If you don’t mobilize the National Guard and two divisions to push them away within two days, I’ll blow you away first. do you understand And… .”
“Yes, yes… .”
The defense minister was absurd, but once the order was an order.
“Call that bastard Patton. It’s stupid, but he’s the best at beating the gangsters.”
