Red Brigade Revival

[Manic Eskimo]

The Red Brigade can not exist as a rigid Internationale army. I see the Red Brigade as a flexible federation of party militias. The militias must keep their independence and be run by the commanders chosen by the individual parties. The militias would focus mainly on resistance wars and in the defense of regions which are attacked for imperialist gain. As a group nationalist interests should be ignored in example if the Indian region of Karnataka which is under lease by the USA was attacked the Red Brigade would not be required to act, alternatively if Western Australia was being liberated from Indonesia the Red Brigade should act to return the region to it's original nation. If their is a Red Brigade deployment while one of the militias national regions was being attacked that militia would not be required to deploy but could stay to defend their region. Militias would not need permission to deploy elsewhere if there was no Red Brigade deployment planned for that day. The Red Brigade command should be informed of these deployments but could not forbid them. This is to ensure the militias maintain control of their own affairs.

The job of the Red Brigade commander will be to communicate and negotiate with the militia commanders on which targets to deploy to. To recruit new militias and to address the concerns of existing members. To give advice to existing members on how to improve their militia. To liaise with governments about the possibility of Red Brigade deployment to their countries.

Militias should be able to support themselves in battle meaning they should be able to supply their fighters with weapons, tickets, gifting and possible tanking funds. The use of communes is the most effective way to supply a militia but the militias have the right to fund themselves in which ever manner they choose.

Simplicity will be the key to getting the Red Brigade working. It does not need to be anything more than militias with common goals coming together to achieve these goals.

I'll talk to Ibhoy if you want some help with this. He can teach you about how he operates - if you can keep up that is as he is a bit of a work-aholic, ive no idea who he gets so much done without even being online that often.

I agree, that the Red Brigades should be decentralized and independent. They should be a network of independent groups fighting for the things they want to fight for. But Machtgeil mentioned in the Relationsthread, that many commanders of the independent units do not want to fight against their own country or alliance, because their groups are connnected to the communist parties and this parties cannot afford to be seen as enemies of their own nation.
So there should be, next to the brigade system, another, international group of fighters, just fighting in the name of the Internationale. The commanders of this group should not be allowed to stay in political positions in their country. I think thats the best way to avoid overlaps in interests.
They should fight in Rhone Alps as well as in Liaoning, in South-Korea as well as they should have fought in Western Australia.
The Commanders of this unit should be elected democratically by the members.

you mean an international unit of elite fighters
yea maybe that would be possible

the only problem is the maintenance. The Fighters would not stay at one place for long, so they must get supplied by the Internationale. When i am honest, i do not know if the Internationale has it's own communes, but i doubt it has. So the maintenance may be a problem and v2 won't make it easier.
