2018 AusSoc furry coup d'état

The 2018 AusSoc furry coup d'état was a watershed moment in the history of AusSoc. Following an extended period of social unrest and political tension between the pro-furry faction led by Lautaro the Sun King and the anti-furry faction lead by furry turncoat Bsharri. As a result of the coup, Bsharri along with the rest of the AusSoc moderation team was overthrown by Lautaro and his Barxist forces, leading to the reign of one-man furry dictatorship.

Historical Context
In 1848, Karl Barks famously wrote his only book, The Furry Manifesto, which outlined his ideas about the nature of furry development and class conflict through the lens of dialectic homocentrism. Barks argued that homocentrism should be abolished and replaced with a more egalitarian system. Modern researchers have discovered that Barks was in the process of creating a second book ''Das Mensch. ''However, the only draft consists of the word 'silk' repeated over eight hundred pages. Barxist scholars are still debating to this day what he means by this.

It was not until 1917 that the revolutionary Leon Trotsky became the first Barxist leader in the world. However, departing from classical Barxism, Trotsky decided that there should be a temporary period of State Homocentrism and that things will totally get better after that. This decision created a schism within the left, splitting it into two: classical Barkists and Trotskyists.

Events
Following the election of the Barxist candidate Lautaro in the 2018 Presidential Elections, there was a rise in tensions between the followers of the Sun King and those of the Trotskyist Bsharri. Bsharri did not run during the election as he believed it was rigged by the Weeb Confederation in favour of the Barxists.
