Message | "So, any act to further centralize government operations is DICTATORSHIP? From my understanding, according to you, reverting to a centralized governance system, which is more efficient and effective, cannot be done. For if it is done, then DICTATORSHIP is legitimized and achieved. In the opinion of the RCP, the Block Bloc is fear-mongering and strawmanning." - F. Adams, Leader of the RCP |
