David Venkesel-Sarot

David Von Kessel-Sarot, commonly known by his in-game name "VizoMinecraft", is a Biographer and Activist residing in the United Socialist States of Eldham's town of Duckia. And is an aspiring political activist with hopes of one day becoming a leading diplomat and politician. He is currently running a campaign for the Supreme People's Assembly.

Origins
In Lore; Dave Van Sarot was born as the "Angelus Diabolus" by the supreme being of the Nether and was sent to Rathnir after it understood he wasn't the kind of devil it wished for. He'd end up finding himself in an unknown anarchist territory, where he'd grow up an orphan and as an energetic student of Journalism, History, and Politics under the mentorship of Maxwell Lazo, a Libertarian Socialist activist.

At some point in his life, Angelus moved to Carvay in hopes of starting his career in politics, although the country by then was incredibly oligarchic, corrupt, and unstable in his view. He wouldn't stay there long as only a week after he moved in, Carvay began to rapidly decline and so he began roaming the world as a lone Vagabond for the next century until he found himself in Eldham.

During an incredibly brief stay (no more than three months) in Redoriv Angelus adopted a new name: "Dave Van Sarot". And following a short attempt to join the Statenland Forward party, Van Sarot abandoned the country after noticing the lack of activity in it, and continued onwards to Sylvania, where he stayed in for half a year, as after a short career as the head farmer of the town of Alzaria, he finally settled on joining the United Socialist States of Eldham upon noticing that it shares much of his political beliefs.

Political Beginnings in the USSE
Not long after he became a citizen, Van Sarot announced his candidacy for the Central Committee in the July 2023 Elections on a Pragmatic and Populist platform, and attended the inauguration of General Secretary Magerius Ukumari the same day, joining the Commission of Culture a day later. Van Sarot became one of the many "New Generation" candidates to run in the Central Committee election, but from the beginning his victory was not expected as he was in a field of 12 candidates, only 7 having the ability to win. He was eliminated on the first round after winning 8 votes, a single vote less than what was needed to continue to the second round. He accepted the results and immediately congratulated his fellow New Gen candidate; Vyacheslav Budyonny (now known as Vyacheslav Von Kessel), later endorsing Kineox Von Kessel as he began setting his sights on the other upcoming elections for the USSE.

Following a short vacation and days of focusing on his writing of the biographies of General Secretaries Magerius and Rosa Ortangon; Van Sarot announced his candidacy for the August 2023 elections for the Supreme People's Assembly, running on the same platform as usual while announcing his support for fellow candidates Vyacheslav Von Kessel, Arika Ronango'O, and Ortangon as a self-declared "Pragmatic Populist" candidate. He'd end up losing the election on the first round.

At some point after the campaign, Dave was adopted by Pakartov Von Kessel to be his son, thus officially changing his name to "David Von Kessel-Sarot" and for the first time being a member of a real family. At the same time he began cooperating with his now-cousin Vyacheslav Von Kessel to truly start his wiki reforms for the USSE.

Political Ideology
Van Sarot is a self-described Xeroist, a "Liberal Socialist", and a "Pan-Serronan". He is an advocate for the Dictatorship of the Masses, a Unitary Government, and Democratic Centralism, seeing multi-party politics as useless when discourse can be had inside a single massive party. As a politician he seeks to actively consult with the people in order to bring about further reforms to the state and is staunchly opposed to autocracy and authoritarianism, while recognizing even his peers may follow these "terrible" ideologies. Consequently, he is a devoted Constitutionalist; calling for the establishment of what he has named "The Norwegian Law", which would mean people could only get elected for a single National Government position at a time. Furthermore, he also sees the rule of law as an important part of the dictatorship of the people.

He also rejects interclassism and instead views the world in the form of two entities: the National Country, representing the people, and the Political Country, representing the oligarchical elites. And says that "It is the mission of the national country to overthrow the political country in order to create a genuine humanist democracy, united as one by nationality." Otherwise, he is a relatively Orthodox Xeroist.

Maybe in contrast to his support for a Unitarian government: Van Sarot also actually advocates for a decentralized planned economy which is to work with a strong national market (that is supposed to remain subordinate to planning but will generally remain free) and sees any bourgeoisie who is willing to cooperate with the USSE as an ally of the Revolution.

As a Pan-Serronan; Van Sarot supports the spreading of Socialism across the entire continent under the USSE, although still supporting independent socialist states to co-exist with it on Serrona. With this he is a proud Internationalist, supporting active interventionism by the USSE to help topple authoritarian/despotic regimes in order to assist with the establishment of fellow Socialist and Democratic states. Aditionally, he holds cooperation with other countries as the most valuable factor in foreign policy, utterly opposing any form of isolationism.

Cultural Conservation
Van Sarot, as a member of the Commission of Culture, is an outspoken advocate for cultural/historical conservation. Seeing the keeping of history as the most vital thing and denouncing the lack of available information about previous General Secretaries and influential figures of the USSE. Because of this, he decided to become the biographer of General Secretary Magerius Ukumari with hopes of also being one for old General Secretaries.
