| Message | The Protectorate Party thinks that the civilian and military should be seperate. Do so otherwise would raise the specter of a military coup. Also we must remember that while some adults would like to serve their country, they may not be suited for military and could possible be of service for some other national project. |

| Message | ooc: fascists is left wing or centrist, IMO. Have you seen this?: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_spectrum#Nolan:_Economic_freedom.2C_Personal_freedom or this: http://www.politicalcompass.org/ My opinions are pretty complicated, and hard to label as simply "left" or "right". I simplify by saying "Right is Right, and left is... wrong" ;) |

| Random quote: The Wolfsheim Virus is not a real actual disease in the conventional medical sense of the term. Rather, it is a cluster of symptoms which are just part of the general socio-economic disease that is capitalism. The main symptoms the sufferers are experiencing are a direct result of capitalist poverty, as in malnutrition, poor housing and so on, combined with psycho-somatic symptoms which are a direct consequence of the contradictions and stresses which are inherent to the capitalist system. ~ Friedrich Pfeiffer, General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
