| Message | Why should the government subsidize these peope when they want to be independent? Let them choose what they really want: the independce or the money. Having the government spend money on radio and TV stations that can then turn against it is illogical and a big waste of our precious tax money, which should be spend on more worthwhile endeavours, like raising the salary of our hard-working senators! |

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 |
