| Message | While we agree on some of this policies, we do not agree on not maintaining an intelligence agency, the government not exporting arms, a military not helping the civilian police in terms of emergencies, and so on; therefore, we must disagree with it. |

| Random quote: As for rape, of course, that is a direct consequence of the capitalist system of oppression. Capitalism relies on fuelling division and resentment to sustain itself, and so it sets men against women, race against race and so on. Men rape women because they are being oppressed by capitalism, so they take it out on women. Under Communism, there will be no rape, because there will be a full and natural harmony and equality between the genders. ~ Friedrich Pfeiffer General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
