Act One
"The history of The Great War"


Introduction
(Time and Setting)

The day is June, 23, 2010. Only a few months have pasted since The Grand War was won by the Working People. This period of time is known as the Reconstruction. Societies around the world have the enormous task of starting over. Rebuilding a society is not an easy task, however with the inequality gap virtually at zero, the average person has the power and tools to actively take part in the reconstruction process. Every citizen can actively take part in the newly formed True World Democracy.

Prologue

People around the world are still celebrating. The new freedoms in this new post war era, is nothing like the average working person has ever experienced. People, no matter who they are, are free to do what ever they want (as long as it does not violate someone else's rights to do as they want). Every man, woman and child in the world, has guaranteed basic human rights.

These rights are outlined in the Basic Human Rights Act (BHR), this act includes the BSoL Act (Basic Standard of Living Act). This right, is why they war was fought. Millions of people fought to give this right to every living person on the planet.

This act Guaranteed Access to a all of the following: 'a good, fair, useful, job that society values', heath care, Free education, free access to Internet, phone, TV. Free transit around their home town and city. Free housing with access to a garden, free food, free fitness facilities and free clean water. Every single person on planet Earth has been granted these rights under the BSoL Act, as set forth in The World Constitution of the Working People.



After the collapse of WTO (World Trade Organization) and the Blockade of all foreign goods into the United States, the people have learned to adapt to a completely new way of living. Rural communities grow their own crops (at least the non-radio active parts of the East Coast). People for the most part learned to live without all the cheap plastic junk made in Chinese sweatshops. These items are now relics of a pass age. It is hard to believe all the junk, the stuff that we used to think life would be impossible without, the stuff that the capitalist made us buy, with advertising propaganda, it is hard to believe now, that we really based out lives around this stuff. "How could I live without my iPod?" was something you would hear back in the day.

"You mean that people in the future live without iPods? How do they listen what music? How do they carry their entire music library around everywhere they go?"
All this cheap junk created for two reasons, all of it was promoted by advertising. One to give you something to spend your money on, and you had to work for them to get paid, it was a vicious cycle. No body seemed to have a problem with it then, they all just worked like dogs so they could have the newest pair of Nike sneakers. The real purpose of this junk was only to distract us from the realization how shitty our lives were back then. This is compared to now of course, were everyone is equal.
We do not worry about money anymore. We do not worry about crime either. For some reason the crime rate drop tremendously after the people took over. What was it that was causing all that crime in the states? Was it that the most respected people we the ones that had all the money? And that caused people to commit crimes of greed?

Following the collapse of the WTO, the mass transit system fell apart rapidly. Because 95 percent of travel in the United States was done by car, and cars need gas, gas was something that they intentionally cut us off of. They thought it was such a strategic tatatic, and that after a few weeks, we would all surrender and go back to work. They did not think that we really could survive on our own. We it was not a complete success. They did not realizes that by cutting us off so fast, that it would actually cause to to mobilize even faster. Unfortunately, the by cutting of the gasoline supply, they did achieve what they really wanted to have happen. Nearly 800,000 working Americans died as a result of famine.

The 'offically' war started, November, 3, 2007 and was ended by the signing of The Great Treaty of The United People on January, 4, 2010.


Scene 1 "A brief history of the future"

June 23, 2010 An interview in the home of General Jericho Justice.

Jericho
"(sitting at his desk, there are war medals and trophies covering the walls. There is a large weapons case in the corner of the room. Inside, there are various knives, swords, hand guns and rifles. There does not appear to be any assault weapons.
He smiles as you enter the room and gestures for you to sit down)

Narrator
"Lets get started shall we? Would you please introduce your self?"

Jericho
"Hello, I am General "Justice" Jericho, Commander and Chief of Bloody Revolutionary Army, division of all ground operations in the US People's Workforce. I lead The United Working People to victory in the Grand War. I am now the Chief Justice in The People's Court."



Narrator "In your own words, could you explain what started the Grand War?"

Jericho
"Nobody really knows exactly what happened. You will hear a different story from everyone that you ask that question. This is how I remember what how it all started:


Nobody thought it was really going to happen. People would stay stuff like:

'War? Here in the Invincible United States, nah, that will never happen. We own that world, and we have been stocking up on military 'stuff' for decades now, right? Last time i check, the US has been spending a hell of a lot of tax payer's money on the military so i can feel safe. Anyone that messes with US is dead meat, or at least i think so. I don't have any actually say in any thing that the government does, so i guess i hope so'

Everyone thought that we have some hero come save us. If only they had realized it sooner, before everything turned into a huge mess. "

It all started in the spring of 2007,

February 2007


"I would say that it all started with the creation of the UoWPfBWC (The Union of Working People for Better Working Conditions). All they wanted was basic Human Rights for all Workers. This causes the founding of FPHR (The Foundation of People's Human Rights). Both were online network communities of working people. Both were created so workers from around the world could share their work experience and to put pressure on their employers by standing together and organizing company strikes.
June 2007


Number of complaints from workers about unequal pay reaches an all time high, The people form together in one massive effort to bring balance and equality peacefully. The FPHR opened it's membership to all people. After a few months, membership levels reached millions as a result of online networking groups and Internet email promotion. When membership reached 50 million people, a democratic vote was taken. The people overwhelmingly agreed (nine to one) that the Capitalist we suspected guilty of crimes against humanity for their extortion of people around the world. After the 5 day Online Justice Trail starting (August 1, ending August 6), the trial was completely public and available on every website imaginable. More than 1 billion people tuned in world wide to witness the verdict. The Virtual Jury, consisting of 50,000 respected people from all over the world (mostly doctors and professors I think), found the capitalist GUILTY of crimes against humanity. An public ultimatum was sent to their headquarters, which by now was this massive fortress off the cost of Florida. The people never received an Official reply. America and the working people of the world continued on with their lives, going to work to work as if nothing had happened at all. Why weren't the capitalist put to justice? What were they waiting for? Was the whole online trial fake? Was the whole thing staged? Did it even really happen? Was it just the next big American Ideal on the Internet? Was is just a show? How could anyone know for sure, as this point, they still controlled everything.

  • November The Capitalists Declares War on the Working People.
Now this was an interesting situation. When the capitalist were found guilty by the majority of people who work for them, they became very concerned. They had read the DW Anthology and they knew what was coming at them. However, instead of surrendering, they decided that if it was war they wanted, then it was war that they were going to get. The capitalists used all of their resources to buy them some time, including the media stooges that started and spread the rumor that the trial was fake, it was for entertainment purposes only. Unbelievably that was something that everyone believed. The public opinion is a funny thing. you can tell them that Global Warming is heating up the earth, and even when its 65 degrees on January, people say, nah that isn't true. But when you tell them that something that more then 250 million people voted on is fake, they have no problems believing it at all.

The capitalists did not directly announce that they were declaring war. Because at this point people were still going to work. The capitalist made the first attack.
The first blood of the war was spilled on November 1, 2007. The capitalist's secrete police force The COPS (Corporate Office Police Service) stormed the home of DW Coon and attempted to assassinate him. Coon escaped the situation allegedly by stealing one of the COPS' armored vehicles, but that's just how the story goes.

The capitalist had been planning and preparing for this war for the last two decades. They thought that they were ready to take on the world. The people really thought that they were just going to surrender? Why should they? The Capitalist had the fortresses, the hired manpower to defend them, control over all the major military compounds and high tech weapons. What was a bunch of workers going to do about. Besides, they thought that we wouldn't last a year without their brilliant leadership and world network. And so the Great Siege began. The rich of the rich, I am not going to name names right now, but they had installed surveillance camera on most of the major intersections in every major city in America. They were planning on watching society tear it's self apart in total anarchy without the Corporate leadership. They watched the street cameras inside their comfortable fortress as the working people fended for themselves. The Capitalist, from the security of their new home continued to feel that they were truly better then the rest of the world. and what what they were doing was right. they were going to hold out for as long as it takes, as long as it takes for the working people to come crawling back to them asking for job. There was anarchy on the outside, and they watched in on TV as if it was some kind of entertainment. With the defences they had, it would take an full assault from an entire army to take them down. Oddly, they still controlled much power on even from inside.
  • 2008
Narrator
"Could you explain excatly who was at war?"

  • march
Suddenly, battle ships start shooting up all cost cities. The capitalist had some how gained control over all of the US Navy's battle ships. Manned completely by hired help, sent out to destroy as much as they could, these modern pirates really did a number on everything within 20 miles of the coast. It is always amazing to me that, then thou the capitalist were so grossly outnumbered, that they were still able to put up such a fight. What can a civilian do to stop a Battleship. The only thing that can stop a battleship is a advanced military strike. We had nothing like that. The capitalist did a complete job making sure that we had no access to any of the military major hardware. We could not even uses the tanks. And with the Assault weapon ban of 1994, all we had as weapons was shitty handguns and hunting rifles. Hell they even had outlawed geraide launcher. what were we supposed to do.
We organized a retreat of all civilians to move at least 30 miles inland. This is out of reach of the battle ship guns. This also causes a complete 3o mile "no man's land" in between the main land the the Florida Fortress. They had battle ships constantly defending the entire Southern coast of North America.

  • July
The bastards! (Jericho stands up and shouts) They cut off our oil!!! What good were our tanks and trucks and cars, oh there were so many people that got screwed!! With oil cut off completely from the outside, we had very little supply left. The people held a democratic vote and decided to resort to other measures to travel. They had no choice. We had other more serious issues to deal with. We could no longer effetely transport troops from the inland, out of reach of the damn sea cannons. The Manhattan riots started as soon as food delivery trucks stopped supplying them daily supplies. Manhattan was an very unique place. If was one place that was completely spared from the battle ship barrage. Why didn't they destroy Manhattan? There were close to 400,000 people still living on the island.
