Van der Bijl expelled from party after making four-hour-long nonsensical speech
After making a bizarre speech denouncing almost every existing politician in Europe, Eva van der Bijl has been expelled from the United Communist Party. Those who made the decision - the members of the People's Council of the Party - have made the following statement:
"Ms. van der Bijl has been making increasingly sectarian statements. Rather than unifying the movement, she has worked only to divide it, attempting to create conflict between factions barely different in any way. If we were to continue to give her any voice whatsoever, the already weak communist movement, not just in Eastern Haane but throughout the world, would fall apart."
van der Bijl has not made any reactions as of now; however, many other prominent politicians in Eastern Haane have:
From Thierry de la Rocque, head of the Union of Guilds and a prominent socialist:
"Ms. van der Bijl is disconnected from reality. She appears to live in some bizarre alternate universe in which everything is black and white. This is only the latest manifestation of this way of thinking; I doubt it will be the last. She, in my opinion, needs a great amount of help."
From Annelise Bauer, head of the Ecological Assembly:
"Ms. van der Bijl has created an imaginary world. She then has conflated said world with reality, resulting in this monstrosity and many previous. I ask of her to for once see what exists and interpret conditions from that. I doubt that she will do such a thing; she will probably label me yet again as a - what was it again? - a 'brazen opportunist who wishes to destroy what has been accomplished.'"
From Katrin Weber, Premier and unofficial head of the Civic Union:
"Ms. van der Bijl has the right to express her opinion. However, she does not appear to be mentally stable; the speech that she has given was, in no short words, the output of monkeys. It was incomprehensible; parts of it were simply, literally, gibberish. How else can a speech that refers to various people as "it" and calls even the most devoted of communists 'bourgeois scum' be described?"
From Mathilde Comtois, State Elder and unofficial head of the Communist Workers' Front:
"As I have said before, this is the work of a bizarre religion that has become a cult - a religion obsessed with dogmas but not reality; one that sees only an imaginary world. I ask all to be careful; to avoid falling into such things."
Chosen examples from van der Bijl's speech are below:
"Sanders. He claims to be a communist - of course he does - but he is not. He sings the song of the siren, luring many to their deaths. What he wishes to do has nothing to do with workers and everything to do with power. He wishes himself to be a capitalist; that is the base of the thing. He wishes to, as so many others have, steal from the workers, force them to work as little more than slaves. That is his true nature. He is bourgeois scum that ought to have been eliminated from the beginning."
"Mathilde Comtois. Of course, she is a saint! She is not. She would be the destruction of everything, for she is the pied piper leading us to capitalism. We follow her gladly, gladly, away from all that is good. At the end we are locked in the mountain of neo-liberalism, for hundreds and hundreds of years. She is not insincere, of course; she is simply an idiot who has let herself be puppeteered by the capitalists."
"To fascism we go, to fascism we go! That is the anthem of Annelise Bauer. She does not want democracy; she wants all power to be in her hands. She thinks herself something high; thinks that she deserves all. She deserves nothing but the most painful death, for she has tricked so many into accepting her horrid ideas. She is the most brazen of opportunists, wishing for the destruction of all that has already been accomplished."
"Edward Firoux. It is nothing but a puppet, perhaps like Pinocchio. Wishing to be human, but lacking certain characteristics. Of course, it is much worse, for Firoux; it has no morality; for that matter, no resemblance to humans. It is a bag of rotting flesh, constructed from the body-parts of the poor who have been sacrificed to capital; a bag of rotting flesh that is dangled; that the downtrodden eat despite its smell; a bag carrying a number of diseases, all deadly; a bag that kills all that come into contact with it."
