David Venkesel-Sarot

Dave Van Sarot, commonly known by his in-game name "VizoMinecraft", is a Biographer and Activist residing in the USSE's town of Duckia. And is an aspiring political activist with hopes of one day becoming a leading diplomat and politician and is running in the July 2023 elections for the Central Committee.

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 adopted the name of "Viz del Valle" and 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 until he found himself in Eldham. During an incredibly brief stay (no more than a few hours) in Redoriv Viz 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 only briefly, 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.

Beginning in Politics
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.

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.

Religion
In terms of his religious beliefs, Van Sarot follows Secular Judaism mostly for the sake of honouring his ancestry but in general doesn't follow most of the traditions, not even eating Kosher.

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.
