The Socialist Republican Party of Rammsteinburg (SRPR) is one of Rammsteinburg's largest and most powerful political party. Current Hauptoffzier Damian Engels (also the party chairman) and Prime Minister Mila Schwarzes are members of this party.

Ideology

The Socialist Republican Party believes in the ideas of socialism and a republic government. The party believes that all humans deserve the right to do as they please as long as it doesn't violate other's right to do, and that the main purpose of a government should be to protect and provide for the people. According to the SRPR, this includes protecting civil rights, political rights, workers rights, promoting ideas of equality, providing healthcare and welfare, supporting education, and protecting the environment.

Many of the ideas of the SRPR are layed out in the SRPR Constitution, which was last edited in 2000.

Capitalism

Being socialists, the SRPR is of course anti-capitalism. There is some disagreement over how to break completely free of capitalism and reach socialism. The entire SRPR agrees that violent revolution is not to answer, though.

Royalty

The SRPR is opposed to royalty. There is a mutual feeling that it must be removed in order to reach socialism. However, there is a lot of debate over whether titles of royalty should be completely abolished. Some Socialist Republicans, such as Prime Minister Mila Schwarzes, believe that the king should abolish it voluntarily. Others believe that the government needs to completely abolish it.

War/Use of Military

To the SRPR, war is an evil which must be avoided and should only be used when truly necessary. Members of the SRPR believe that attempts at a peaceful solution to problems should come first. Use of military force should be a last resort.

Welfare Programs

The SRPR is a strong supporter of government welfare programs. Current Chairman Damian Engels once said "the government for the people must be a government for all the people. This includes soceities less fortunate. If we cannot help them live a better life, we have failed."

Corporate Regulations

"Corporations cannot be trusted to protect workers rights, worker safety, and the environment on their own." This is an official statement of the SRPR. The SRPR believes that corporations require regulation.

Environmental Protection

The SRPR believes in "environment over economy." The SRPR believes that the government should be responsible for protecting the environment by monitoring environmental quality, creating environmental standards, requiring corporations to have environmental-friendly practices, punishing those who violate environmental laws, and fixing damage already done.

Foreign Affairs

The SRPR believes that Rammsteinburg should seek peaceful relations with the nations of the world. There are mixed opinions about the United Nations among SRPR members. Some view it at as corrupt, while others are strong supporters of it.

Education

"Education is vital." Poverty and violence, the SRPR believes, are results of lack of education. Quality education for all citizens is one of the SRPR's top priorities. The SRPR officially endorses UNAEQ.

Motto

The motto of the SPRP is "Für die Leute" (for the people), which is also the offical national motto of Rammsteinburg. It was the SPRP that suggested this be made Rammsteinburg's motto. The motto was taken from a book by Johannes Gustov called Leute, Regierung, und Freiheit (People, Government and Freedom).
