| Modtech Inc. circular: RECOMMENDED PROTOCOLS FOR NEW OR ASPIRING PARTIES. Congratulations on the formation of your new Party. We trust all new Party members are clear about their role in the Model project. The Party, although sharing some common characteristics with the Model, should not be confused with the Model itself.[1] The Party is NOT the Model. The role of the Party, although important, is a subsidiary one. MODEL OVERVIEW. The current version of the Model is V 6.1. It is defined (physically) as multi-media/virtual and takes a wholistic integrational approach encompassing physics, biology, technology, economics, marketing, psychology, sociology, law and political science. It is specifically designed to assist expansion of the optimal world-base without sacrificing economic growth (profit) or regional stability. The Model organisational schematic is a centralised top down technocracy[2] but incorporates anarchistic networked features to ensure maximum coercion/cooperation. Citizens who willingly co-operate with the Model project will be upgraded to the status of advanced liveware.[3] The Model is flexible enough to cooperate with a wide variety of ideological constructs.[4] Any Party which generally conforms to the protocols (section 4) can be integrated as a key liveware component. After the initial phase, Party administrations are freed from unneccesary tasks and can effectively operate on 'autopilot' with seemless integration into the Model project. 1. THE PARTY WITHIN THE MODEL INFRASTRUCTURE 1.1 General Functions Of The Party The Party is an integral component of The Model infrastructure and provides the raw interface between the Model and the People. Any threat to the legitimacy of the Party may lead to a deterioration of the Model's structural integrity. The main functions of the Party are (a) to channel the self-organisation of the People into harmless activities which do not threaten the Model world-structure [5]. (b) to assist in the download of Model� software, or, (c) if necessary to re-deploy the Model superstructure in an updated version (V6.3). 2. ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE. All Party organisational schematics will replicate that of the Model (see MODEL OVERVIEW), although with some minor variations according to their specific culture, geography, or level of development. 2.1 THE LEADER The Leader of the Party should be the fullest example of complete liveware integration. For best results the Leader should appear as one of the People and be the embodiment of the Nation. Charismatic qualities, although useful, are not absolutely necessary. The Leader should ensure that all subordinates are fully integrated and rewarded according to their career ambitions/subservience. 3. RECOMMENDATIONS TO NEW PARTIES. TACTICS AND STRATEGIES. 3.1 The Party should market itself as the embodiment of the General Will of the People (the Nation) and their only legitimate representative. 3.2 The Party may contradict itself or even become its own opposite in order to gain/maintain power. 3.3 The Party should infiltrate other organisations or hijack popular movements for its own promotion. 3.4 The Party should promote growth of the Model, which is measureable. All other forms of growth are immeasureable and therefore irrelevant. 3.5 Legislation should be passed/approved by the Party to enable the expansion of the Model infrastructure. All Parties which cooperate in this function will be rewarded with free access to Model Information Networks. 3.6 The Party should self-replicate its own (standardised) liveware which is compatible with international protocols. 3.7 Terminology/Marketing All forms of terminology/imagery which assist in expansion of the Model superstructure are to be encouraged. Traditional popular terminology from national mythology is an effective way for new/aspiring parties/leaders to gain the confidence of the People. (However we recommend avoiding excessive repetition of keywords unless backed up by sophisticated imagery/entertainment.) 3.8 The Party should assist in propagation of technology which assists the Model (and its party infrastructure) in it's self-development (progress). All peoples opposed to the self-development of the Model are opposed to progress. All peoples opposed to the Party should be labeled as unpatriotic, reactionary, and enemies of the People. 3.8 The Party should represent the development needs of the most advanced forces of production in conjunction with the protocols of the Model project. We recommend that aspiring Parties assist in: (a)the development of micromanagement technologies. (b) passing of legislation to further enable such technologies in the public domain. 3.9 The Party should impose its concept of the interests of the working class, even against the workers themselves, or, in the case of the (revolutionary) anti-Party should portray itself as the sole guardian of the proletariat and the revolution. 3.10 Any aspiring anti-party must convince the workers that to make a revolution without the Party is clearly wrong or indeed impossible. [6] SUGGESTED POLICIES The Party should ensure maximum liveware integration of the People by promoting policies of co-dependency, co-authority or neutralisation. Suggested policies: - increased work-hours (co-dependency) - increased debt (co-dependency) - part-ownership in the Model infrastructure (co-authority/dependency) - over-reliance on the Model infrastructure (co-dependency) - drugs, astrology, conspiracy theories, cultish religions, general irrationality (neutralisation) - social constructs limited to the work/infotainment complex. (neutralisation) - isolation/fragmentation (neutralisation) 4. OPPOSITION PARTIES, ANTI-PARTIES, and NEGATIONS 4.1. OPPOSITION PARTIES Before Parties can be elevated to this role they will give evidence of sufficient cooperation. For the best propaganda effect, oppositional and anti-Parties may find it of benefit to disguise themselves as the Negation. In some cases, anti-Model rhetoric may be useful for this purpose. Once well established, Oppositional Parties may qualify to assume the role of The Party providing: (a) their software/liveware is in alignment with the current version of the Model (V 6.1) or (b) provide an acceptable software update. 4.2. ANTI-PARTIES Parties ('revolutionary') which go outside of the protocols (e.g: attempts to destroyed the Model) by introducing their own Model without authorisation will be automatically demoted to the status of anti-Parties. 'Rogue' or failed anti-Parties can be useful for the testing of new weapons technologies, or absorbed into the Model as software updates. All high-level Parties should feel free to infiltrate/destroy/absorb anti-Parties, steal their ideas, or upload them into the Model database for future reference. 4.3. NON-PARTIES Potential (aspirational) anti-parties, still in their formative stage. These may or may not have connections to anti-parties, sub-negations or the Negation. 4.4. SUB-NEGATIONS Sub-Negations such as NGOs, NFPs, lobby groups, unions, charities, churches etc. may or may not co-operate with your Party directly but can generally be considered as reliable allies (many of them being Model sub-units or reliant on Model funding). However some of these, not being fully integrated, may be unstable and have the potential to become a part of the Negation. 4.5. NEGATION/S Negations are essentially anarchic non-parties or elements of the People which are difficult to integrate as liveware. If able to build a diverse, federated/networked anti-Model they have the potential to become the Negation. In its worst form the Negation manifests as the virus-like delusionary manifestation of the People for self-rule. Unlike anti-parties, oppositional parties or sub-negations, the Negation (revolutionary) is the only genuine threat to the Model. We encourage all Parties, anti-Parties, info-networks and all other available liveware to use any means necessary to prevent its spread. Any such virus should be quarantined to prevent further infection. Thank you. ============= [1] "There is one model which is right and true for every society." G.W.Bush [2] the state is a specific structure of domination, a hierarchical and codified form of social power relations and a system designed to self-perpetuate. This being so, the correct description the EZLN makes of the state�s party system cannot be founded in the malevolence, the perverse character or the venality of its leaders but must find a substantial part of its reasoning in the fact that such parties establish their basic orientation as an operation to capture the reins of the State. ~ Reflections on the VI Declaration of the Lacandona Jungle - Cuban Libertarian Movement [3] 'Liveware' (def) - the commonly held definition of liveware as the 'human element' is mostly accurate: e.g: "all the technology of political control has three components, hardware, software and LIVEWARE (the human elements), which are all woven together to form manipulative programmes of socio-political control." (STOA, European Parliament) We would like to thank our latest client (European Union) for their co-operation in preliminary software initiation. [4] Although the preferred default code is BLUE the Model can equally tolerate the rhetoric of a RED, GREEN or even a RED-GREEN coalition. "When we refer to the 'traditional parties of the left' we don't only have in mind the social-democratic and 'communist' parties. Parties of this type have administered, administer and will continue to administer exploitative class societies. Under the title of 'traditional parties of the left' we also include the trad revs (traditional revolutionaries), i.e. the various Leninist, Trotskyist and Maoid sects who are the carriers of state capitalist ideology and the embryonic nuclei of repressive, state-capitalist power." ~ Maurice Brinton [5] "so-called legal and peaceful agitation . . . usually has its result the election to the German parliament of one or two workers (or even bourgeois scribblers) from the Social Democratic Party. Not only is this not dangerous, it is a highly useful to the German state as a lightning-rod, or a safety-value." ~ Bakunin [6] Some infantile critics have propounded foolish ideas such as; "The belief in parties is the main reason for the impotence of the working class."
