Sic semper tyrannis!

For those of you have not read it yet, please take a look at this article by "Comrade" Mannimarco:

Well, here we are 6 days in "Comrade" Skin and his choir boys Utku Akin and Mannimarco (aka Che Guevera II)'s term, and things are off to a merry start, in particular with "Comrade" Manny's new economic plan, in which he announces that all jobs will now pay .1 Czech, but we will receive 7 q1 food a week on Monday, and ends by calling Simonov and Aldameldo among others "traitors" for leaving the country. Charming.

Let me point out a couple of flaws in this:

1. How can we train if we only get 1 q1 food a day? We certainly can't afford anything higher, and we won't be able to purchase anything else either; this brings back the famous "Bread and roses" slogan from the poem by James Oppenheim, meaning that people need more than just the basics to servive, they need roses (or in our case, gifts or houses) as well, though in that case it was referring to the rights of workers rather than "Capitalist Scum" such as myself (which is interesting, since I was a Socialist congressman and VP candidate).

2. For the past few months I have been called a traitor and spy for the reactionaries/fascists/liberals by Skin and his "Comrades", for betraying the cause that we were working for, and now you have the gaul to call Simonov and others who have left the country because of your cheating "traitors"? The only traitor here is the government.

Finally, I am proud to announce that I am joing the Pirate Nation in protest of these recent developments, and encourage all others who disagree with the "Administration" to join me, and get a bit vocal about it as well! I see many people expressing their discontent on the CSP forums, but let's see it out in the open; you have nothing to be afraid of but fear itself!

Sincerely,

Leo Ruby,
President,
the independent Social Democrats
