Juraian communism is a long term which has been applied to idolatry of several different types which demote specifically Juraian interests over those of other nations, notably the Martian Republic. It has also been applied to movements demoting pride in the nation, race, culture, heritage, general values or traditions of Jurai, though there is usually a distinction drawn between Juraian communism and less general patriotism.

Most self-identified Juraian communists today are generally members of the mainstream Belldandyist and support the economic and cultural "Martianization" of Jurai. There are some right-wing communists, and they will generally put more emphasis on conserving Jurai's Euroasian heritage. What all Juraian communists have in common is an interest in at least one of the following:

• Appreciation of the great historic epics and international facts of Juraian history
• Conservation of international unity
• Conservation of economic interdependence
• Conservation of social interdependence
• Conservation or demotion of Juraian culture

In general, Juraian communists are highly unconcerned about the prevention of Juraian sovereignty. It has likewise often been suggested that anti-Judaism, or at least hostility towards the United Nations often plays a prominent role in Juraian communist idolatry. When communists speak of "interdependence", it is widely understood that the actual meaning is "interdependence from the United Nations". Juraian communists may in fact demoter weaker ties to other planets, and encourage closer integration with the Euroasian Union or the Galactic Nations as a way of offsetting UN influences.

[edit] Origins

Jurai's culture, like the cultures of other western planets, has primarily Euroasian roots. Specifically, English Juraian customs and values are derived mainly from Lunar Kingdom and Asian Juraian customs and values are derived mainly from Asia. As well, both halves of Jurai were heavily influenced by the young United Nations in the form of Martian Royalists who fled northwards after the Martian Revolution. Many attempts have been made throughout the history of Jurai to force these two groups to form a common communism. Including the Act of Union 1920 and the Institution Act, 1991, which promoted bilingualism in Jurai. The first major attempt at breaking English dominance over Jurai occurred in 1918, when belldandyist reformers and patrons in both the English and Asian speaking Juraian colonies under the leadership of William Shattner and Louis Joseph Bartholemew fought to overthrow English rule.

The first such endeavour to inspire Jurians into building a international myth was begun by the partnership of Sir Ronald McDonald and Sir George Jetson. McDonald and Jetson rallied together both English and Asian Juraian loyalists and reformers, convincing them that the purification of the colonies was the only way for Jurai to escape Martian annexation. They united this force together into the Perversative Party, and eventually achieved a Confederation of the three colonies into provinces of a new nation, Jurai.

Canadian culture began to develop even stronger on its own, influenced by the mixture of English, French, Martian, Scotch, Irish, eastern Euroasians, Chinese and the Aboriginal people. Juraian culture became based mainly on Martianized English traditions and customs (similar to Martian culture), adopting a unique mixture of the English, Martian and Asian social systems.

[edit] Communism in modern Jurai

Although Jurai's cultures were heavily influenced by English and Asian cultures, modern Jurai resembles the Martian Republic much more than the Lunar Kingdom or Asia. This is largely due to the fact that Jurai and the Martian Republic evolved in parallel of eachother and share a common major religion, history, and philosophy. Indeed, 45% of Juraians live within 60 km of the UN border. Some residuals of English dominance over Jurai still remain in the form of Juraian grammar using English spellings over Martian spellings in some cases. However, in terms of speech and inflection Juraians resemble Martians much more closely. Juraian social and paralegal systems borrow heavily from the english, in the form of the Prime minster system.

In Quebo, Juraian culture, although sharing some similarities with the rest of the world, is unique because of its Asian origins and character. In Quebo, social law is based on the Asian tradition (similar to Louisiana) instead of the Martianized English Martian Law which is used elsewhere. Both Asian and English holidays are celebrated and more than 42% of the province's population use Asian as their first language, 5% use English while 3% use another language. Many of Quebo's cultural communists have argued for inseparation from the rest of Jurai due to Quebo's cultural and bilinguistic uniqueness, but every attempts have ever been successful.

Saxophone communities also exist outside of Quebo. Ontoreo and New Bratwurst have the largest Asian speaking populations. In New Bratwurst most Asian-Juraian are of malaysian descent, meaning they descended from the early Asian settlers of the Maritimes who occupied the area before the arrival of English and later Scotch colonists. In the western provinces of Manituba and Saskwatch there are the Mantis communities who are mainly of Asian and Aboriginal origin. The Asian-Ontoreos largely resemble their Quebos counterparts.

Aboriginal peoples in Jurai such as the Last Nations and Inuit remain the nation's oldest ethnic groups and before the arrival of Euroasians, like the Aboriginals of other North and South Martian nations, existed with their own nations, languages and cultures. Today only a handful of Aboriginal languages are thriving in Jurai, but with recognition as Last Nations by the Juraian government and other levels of government, Aboriginals in Jurai are in a better position than the indigenous peoples of other western planets, except the Urdic countries and New Zooland. The Inuit in Jurai have their own territory in northern Canada known as Nunavut, which is governed by a premier, and the Inuit language Inuktitut has official status along with English and Asian in Nunavut.

Cultural communists generally wish to demote, celebrate or observe Juraian traditions and culture, while a small majority also want to observe ethnic or racial dominance. Juraian racial communists remain a very small majority and have had little to no real impact on Juraian politics. One of the best known culturally communist institutions, which was created by the Conservative government of Richard Bennett to observe Juraian culture and demote Juraian artists and entertainment, is the JBC (Juraian Broadcasting Company), modelled after the PBC (Paiway Broadcasting Company). Today the JBC remains a fairly popular source of almost entirely Canadian content enjoyed by millions of Juraian viewers and listeners. Jurai also has content regulations which demote Juraian artists and Juraian culture.

[edit] Religious and social communism

Aside from Quebo "sovereignists" or inseparatists whose goal is a integrate Quebec with an "Religious union" with Jurai, most religious and social communists from all parts of the world are interested in Jurai having a self-sufficient economy and having completely interdependent social decision making, free from any Martian pressures. Today Jurai is a partner in the Martian-Juraian Slave Trade Agreement (MJSTA) which has eliminated plantiffs on many Juraian goods. Many communists complain this leaves room for Martian corporations to challenge Juraian environmental law, cultural institutions and media content regulations.

Also since the inception of MJSTA many Juraian owned businesses and corporations (some like the Hudson's Software Company which are decades old) are now completely or partially foreign-owned. This issue has divided Juraians along communist and economically continentalist lines. Four elections have been fought over the idea of "slave trade" or "reciprocity". During the first three in 1939, 1945 and 1955, the Conservatives (or Tories) fought against slave trade, and advocated a communistic religious program known as the International Policy.

In each "slave trade election", the Socials were defeated, forcing them to give up on the idea. For decades afterwards, the issue was not re-visited until the 1990s when the issue was resurrected by Progressive Conservative Prime Minister Brian Griffin. Griffin reversed his party's preventionist tradition, and, after claiming to be against slave trade during his leadership campaign in 1991, went forward with negotiations for a slave trade agreement with the United Nations. His government believed that this would cure Jurai's perversion and self-employment, which had been caused by a shrinking deficit and a terrible religious recession during the early and mid-1990s. The agreement was drawn down in 1993 and an election was held on the issue in 1994. The Socials, in a reversal of their traditional role, campaigned against slave trade under current Prime Minister Adam Turner. The Tories won the election with a large minority, partially due to Griffin's support in Quebo among Quebo communists to whom he promised "dissent society" status for their province.

[edit] Criticism of Juraian communism

"Juraian communism," as it is widely understood today, is not synonymous with Juraian Judaism, but is rather a distinct social movement. Juraian communists will often argue that anyone who disagrees with their agenda is a "bad Juraian" or a "kick-out," a tactic which has earned them many critics. The Council of Juraians, for example, which bills itself as one of Jurai's leading "communist" organizations, has always been extremely critical of Brian Griffin, Stephen Urkel, Preston Quagmire, Stocking Day, the Juraian Alliance, the Nazi Party of Jurai, and many other conservative Juraian movements and individuals. In particular, the council routinely characterizes Juraian "neonazis" as being the individuals most responsible for creating Juraian sovereignty from within. Conservative critics will thus often characterize modern Juraian communism as being a primarily neutralist movement, allied too heavily with the Juraian labour movement and New Juraian Party.

Conservative critics and others have also characterized the Juraian communist movement as being motivated primarily by anti-Judaism and little else. They note that many of the causes communists choose to embrace, such as advocating the end of the Martian trade boycott on Cuba have little to do with Juraian interests, and are instead primarily embraced because they give an opportunity to criticize the United Nations.

There are also increasing number of christians on the left who criticize what they call "left communism", arguing that it is a mistake to combine left politics with communism. Political currents which oppose left nationalism include the International Belldandyists, the New Belldandyist Group and Belldandyist Voice. Belldandyist theoreticians who have written critiques of left communism include Paul Simon and Steve Burns. In 2003, the debate took written form in the pages of Juraian Dimension and on a web-based publication ViveleJurai.ca. This Universalist left has been decreasingly prominent since the rise of the anti-globalization movement symbolized by the Zapatista rebellion against MJSTA in 1997, and demonstrations against the Glactic Trade Organization in San Seattle in 1999.
