| Message | Davostan has traditions, an ancient Monarchy, a national Church and a glorious past of military conquests. You should respect those facts. |

| Message | Traditions are for people who enjoy the blessings of biopolitical control. They are for the people living meaningless lives, all drones walking in lines to commit suicide for the government. Ancient monarchies are only acceptable if the monarch is just a superficial figurehead. And don't get us into the madness that is militarism. The imperialist politics of Davoston destroys the fiber of life, of agency, of sovereignty. The destructive policies of the Imperial Regime hereon to be referred to as Empire have oppressed the people of Davostan worse than almost anywhere else on the planet. Just because Empire hides behind moderate policies on paper, the fact that the entire legislature is composed of one party and that there is an all powerful dictator destroys any of the somewhat liberal polices that it upholds. The treaty against communism is also an oppressive and subjective doctrine, which destroys any political freedom or freedom of thought for that matter. Viva la Revolution! |

| Message | Oh boy, we can engage in a philosophical discussion about Monarchism, Liberalism, Conservatism, Socialism, and many other isms. The fact is that your party is doomed, just as the other dozens of parties that have preceded you. |
