| Message | Socialism is not Communism. The Bastards do not approve of the Phalanx Party's scaremongering. |

| Message | Not all Trade Unionists are socialists, but much of their leadership is of the extreme left persuasion, and they are the individuals who hold power within the organisation, thus their Communism taints the others, and more importantly threatens the Pontesi economy. |
