Preamble:
We, the Avestite faction of the Union of Human Hive Republics, do hereby declare our support for the principles of the renowned European political philosopher, Dr. Ryan Avest. Dr. Avest was one of the greatest minds of the mid-21st century, and if not for his untimely death at the hands of survivalist terrorists, would likely have led us to Chiron himself.
Principles of the Avestite Faction:
1) Religion is the opiate of the people, an anachronism from Earth whose sole purpose was to oppress the people. It is to be vigorously suppressed.
2) The interests of the group must take precedence over all else, including the interests and the lives of the individuals who comprise it.
3) The supreme interest of the group is it's material and spiritual well-being. In order to achieve this, we advocate the focussing of industry on generating wealth - decent and equitable living conditions for all - and on creating the capacity for expansion. However, this should not be taken too far; excessively luxurious conditions are wasteful and spiritually degrading. Once liveable conditions are available to all people, any excess resources should go into economic expansion or factional defence.
4) The function of the planetary environment is to provide sustenance to human beings. Pollution should be contained sufficiently to ensure the continued survival of the environment and thus humanity, but beyond that, we have no ecological obligations.
5) If other survivors of the Unity mission should be encountered on Chiron, we must not hesitate to extend the benefits of Hiverian life and Avestite ideology to them, by whatever means are available.
