Description[?]:
| http://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/The_Farmers_Demand "The farmer used to lay waiting, now he rises. He picks up his weapon, and he fights back. He fights back against the so called "inevitable" demise that he faces. Nothing is inevitable. This demise can be stopped. The farmer does not dream of what the world could be anymore. Now he carries his weapon and he makes the world a better place. He doesn't hope for a better future, he works for a better future. The farmers could rise and establish a virtuous republic. Put to an end policy that allows the spread of industry, and create policy that ends industry. Cleanse the nation of the vice and immorality, and deport the ultra industrialists that cause it. The farmers do not ask, the farmers demand that action be taken. That their way of life be protected and that there communities be saved. There is a place in this world for industry, but not for the immorality that comes with it." |
