It started with the almost imperceptible footsteps. Yet to be heard across the room extensive soundproofing, footsteps that had to be vigorous and heavy. Together with their quick-march cadence and among all, the pair of almost heel-like clicks, revealing the coming retinue identity.
Then came the rapid shouting of orders. The patterned-knocks on the door. And finally, it opened. Like a brief window into the busy hallway outside, its sounds washed away the quietness inside.
A background noise of clerks a dozen incessant droning, in several languages to boot. Shuffling of papers. Squeaking of wheels. Singularly and distantly, even what sounded suspiciously like a human scream of agony.
Then the door closes, and all sounds from beyond muffled into near-nothingness, once more.
Esteemed Comrades,
my deepest apologies for the lateness of this telegraph. However, my work here in Zhongguo has been most pressing.
Regarding the latest vote, I have after careful consideration, chosen:
Russian Alphabet
B) A new revolutionary one is needed to unite all people of the Soviet Union
While the Cyrillic Alphabet represents an important aspect of the Union Slavic cultures, it is a fact that this Union aspires to much loftier goals. The unification of all free and fraternal people under socialism. And the unfortunate reality is, this ancestral alphabet represents an additional obstacle towards said goal. It not only increases unintelligibility and isolation, in a world where, through admittedly Euro-American imperialism, the Latin Alphabet is slowly affirming itself as the standard. But is also for some people of our Union, a painful reminder of the oppression and imperialism they were until recently suffering under the Tsars.
As such, developing a new system. If not even language. May be necessary.
Regarding instead world events, breaching the isolationist and exceptionalist American hearts and minds is unfortunately a difficult affair. If nothing else, because of their devious electoral system punishing any political party to far away from the bourgeoisie tastes and so called center. Still, this just underlines the need to avoid the trap of electoralism and revisionism. To instead, also focus on building a parallel society. Of radical Trade Unions, mutual-aid organisations, insurances, school, kitchens, dormitories/living spaces/neighbourhoods, newspapers etcetera. But also, trained reservist militias, spies and informants, here with an essential role of our NKVD. As well as seeking our the cracks and contradictions of the American edifice, to leverage when the time is right.
