| Message | Ah yes, let's give more power to the government. That's just what we want. Oh, and just as a couple of Fascist parties have come along. Between the socialists on the one hand and fascists on the other, I cannot imagine what could go wrong if we just trust the state... |

| Message | Who are you addressing? If it is us, I'm not sure how you can describe it as stereotyping. I'm sure the fascist parties would be perfectly happy to admit that they support massive state intervention in people's lives (or you can just check their bills which have included conscription (http://80.237.164.51/particracy/main/viewbill.php?billid=41412), central planning of energy policy (http://80.237.164.51/particracy/main/viewbill.php?billid=41423) and state-ownership of industry (http://80.237.164.51/particracy/main/viewbill.php?billid=42164)). I'm equally sure that the socialist parties would readily agree that they support massive state intervention in people's lives (or check bills yada yada, state ownership of industry http://80.237.164.51/particracy/main/viewbill.php?billid=39610, minimum wage http://80.237.164.51/particracy/main/viewbill.php?billid=39743). If you believe fascism or socialism will lead to a new golden age for Trigunia, by all means vote for their policies and give the state the power to implement its vision. Our party, on the other hand, believes that fascism and socialism are terrible ideas that will lead to widespread misery for the people on whom they are inflicted, which is why we oppose their policies, particularly polices that give the state more power. We may be wrong - a benevolent dictatorship may end up being the best thing that ever happened to Trigunia - but we will always oppose state power. Not because we are stereotyping the parties, but because the policies that they themselves espouse are plenty terrifying enough. |
