| Message | If you try to implement this reform, a thinly disguised attack on the gains of the working class, the Hutori masses will smash this legislation with their raised fists. |

| Message | How is this an attack on the working class? Why does the working class need payouts if they work? They are not truly working if they are dependent on the government, they are leaching. Of that is so they deserve to stay in poverty. |

| Random quote: “The people's war isn't just a war of destruction, it is also a war of construction. We will build new facilities, new hospitals, new farms. We will seek to improve the lives of the people around us. This struggle will be as costly as the struggle against the bourgeois army, and indeed will be even more damaging to the enemy.” - Comrade X, former Hulstrian politician |
