Barmenistan Council of Social Darwinism

The Barmenistan Council of Social Darwinism is a political party, youth organization, philosophical organization, media monopoly, atheist front, trade union, and student group in Barmenistan, founded by Friedrick Nietzsche XVII. It's headquarters is located in Ekde in the Barmenistan state of Ikegaru.

History
The idea of the Barmenistan Council of Social Darwinism (BCSD) was conceived on the Saturday night of the 14th of May, 2467, in the back of Fado's, the campus nightclub of Nietzsche University, situated in the outskirts of Ekde in the state of Ikegaru.

However, it did not begin as a political party there, but merely as an organization of some two dozen friends with philosophical motive, namely the philosophies of Friedrick Nietzsche and Social Darwinism.

These two dozen or so college students would meet three nights a week in the back of Fado's and would discuss philosophy and politics over coffee and liquor. This soon grew more into a fellowship pack, and revised variants of Nietzsche philosophies became inconspicuously portrayed in the works of all those involved.

As the group became ever more active, parties and events were thrown in the community, rallies were organized, and the traditional student government was overthrown. The membership had risen into the thousands. These students became discontented with the way things were and the direction they were going in Barmenistan, and decided to start taking wider action.

Like a virus, the movement had spread to many private college campuses, even a few public ones; sweeping the nation, even infiltrating the campuses of mainly private secondary schools, and gaining a large following with the intellectual youth on the internet as well.

Not only did the BCSD take schools by storm, taking in a majority of the students as members in nearly every school, but consistently it overthrew the student governments and parent-teacher associations and began forcing reform on the private educational system.

While the BCSD dominated the educational environments, it simultaneously began setting up other youth groups and programs while even acting as a labor union, recruiting mass amounts of fresh white-collar employees new to the workforce to the union, in exchange for representation, even conquering some businesses by forcing employee-buyouts.

Mass media directed towards the intellectual youth soon became puppets of the BCSD, as well as many Atheist and Agnostic fronts and organizations.

Recent Developments
On June 13, 2473, the Barmenistan Council for Social Darwinism had decided to become a political party, as well as a student group, youth organization, media giant, atheist/agnostic front, philosophical organization, and trade union.

Legislation
So far, it has brought great change to Barmenistan. Notably, the most important of its achievements so far was that it brought about an absolute ban on religion. It also made the Arctic Wolf the national animal, as well as allowed all foreign embassies on Barmenistan soil. It has increased government responsibility for the disadvantaged by subsidizing prescription drugs in full for the poor and partial for all, subsidizing energy costs for the poor, and made made higher education free for all citizens of Barmenistan. It also restricted smoking from places of employment, curtailing a great deal of illness incurred from second-hand smoke. It has made Barmenistan more democratic by requiring trade unions to hold ballots before strikes and separating the executive branch, while it championed civil rights by granting absolute freedom of assembly, banning eminent domain, and banning search and seizure within private residences.

Proposals
Although so far unsuccessfully, it has been pushing for the end of the war on the middle class by attempting to abolish the income and corporate tax and yet, still lowering the luxury tax. It has also tried to make private education free and to curtail government power by privatizing many of the government programs at the same time as having the government pay subsidies to those in need, as to not diminish government responsibility. Many Nietzsche-ist and Social Darwinist bills have also been proposed, but as it is yet too new to hold a significant amount of seats, these proposals have failed, even with backing from the Traviscist party for many of them.

Ideological Analysis
While the analysis of the BCSD being moderately skeptic towards environmental issues and being convinced militarists hold true, unfortunately, because of the newness and mystery about the party, many of its ideologies have been misinterpreted and misrepresented by an incorrect analysis of its voting. It is not restrictive-leaning in ideology, but actually an extreme, or perhaps radical permissive party. And it is not an isolationist, but merely believes in national sovereignty to a certain extent, and nothing could be more wrong than its label as regulator-leaning in terms of the market. The VCSD, aside from obvious environmental regulations, labor rights protection, reciprocal tariffs, and subsidies for high technology, believes in as little market regulation as possible, and as much privatization as possible; as the party's base is strongly rooted in competition and Social Darwinism. And, while the party is secular, it is not just extreme secular, but rather radical, as it believes in the abolition of religion in every country on Terra.

However, it is hoped these false analysis of its views will change the longer standing the party is, and the political positioning in the general public eye will become more clear in the near future.

Recently, after receiving no seats in the previous election, the VCSD received the second largest amount of seats and the position of President in the most recent election during the December of 2479.
