| Message | 1. The Government has no right to give away the money it steals from it's citizens to those of other nations. Charities can take care of this much more efficiently than Governments. 2. Free trade, free market, that Capitalist way is the natural way of humanity and we should return to it ASAP! 3. Freedom of movement is a central right of humanity, however, it is not for government to pay for their upkeep. 4. Static border controls do not work. We had less illegal immigration when we abolished this and instead invested the money saved in immigration intelligence gathering so we can better target our resources. People will merely walk around static controls. |

| Random quote: "The Revolution needs to progress. We as humans need to evolve into higher beings through better moral virtues. And we can achieve that if we clean ourselves from the immoral. Those who go against the Revolution, go against human progress and must be freed in the most humane way possible. That is why we introduced the guillotine." - Maximus Robertson, former Davostani revolutionary |
