| Message | Why would we decommission existing embassies? |

| Message | Should we be at war with another country or as a sanction against another country. While this may limit direct communication between ourselves and the country of decommission, secondary means of communication continue to exist. |

| Random quote: As for rape, of course, that is a direct consequence of the capitalist system of oppression. Capitalism relies on fuelling division and resentment to sustain itself, and so it sets men against women, race against race and so on. Men rape women because they are being oppressed by capitalism, so they take it out on women. Under Communism, there will be no rape, because there will be a full and natural harmony and equality between the genders. ~ Friedrich Pfeiffer General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
