| Message | Oi! Pink Soul Party! Aren't you supposed to be against fascism? *The State actively removes or modifies cultural and historical heritage which are considered "inappropriate", or if public interest so requires.* Sounds a bit 1984 to me. |

| Message | Mi-Young Seo: There are some aspects of our grim and cruel history that should not be celebrated or even recognized as legitimate. For one, we can stop glorifying mass murderers who have led genocides against innocent people and stop denying those genocides. We believe it is in the public's interest to be taught history from other viewpoints, not just Zogist and nationalist viewpoints. The top members of this party are very familiar with Orwell and his literature, this bill, despite what you critics may say, will actually divert as 1984 situation by making the Beluzian population more aware of other viewpoints in history. We do not want to destroy the imperialist aspects of history, but rather just vilify them and stop the glorification of imperialism. |

| Message | History is history. We cannot change the past, we must learn from it. We can learn things from all aspects of Beluzian history, even from the dark days of the communist and republican revolutions which caused civil war. I think it would be a crime to remove Beluzia's heritage in this way. All the people that died, politicians, journalists, soldiers and civilians! OOC: as a historian I feel very passionate about this. |
