| Message | The past has shown what happens when government gains control of crop production. Corrupt government = starving people. |

| Message | Benevolent democratic government is an oxymoron. You cannot give democracy massive power without screwing the minority through mob rule. And strategic crops meaning those that maintain the food supply of the nation. |

| Message | Precisely. We need crops that maintain the food supply to be secure and their availability should not be dependent upon the whims and fluctuations of the market. And how is 'benevolent democratic government' an oxymoron? Oh, that's right. Corporatism is Fasicsm, isn't it? |
