Dear SFP
Israel Stevens
Dear SFP,
First off, congratulations on joining the Top 5. I know you’ve been been here for a bit, but today it became ‘official,’ now that you have your own candidate list for Congress.
It’s exciting having a new member of the Top 5. It means new ideas, new leaders to build relationships with, and a renewed sense of purpose in one's own party. I know that my own party has been quite active.
Politically, your party and my party are just about diametrically opposed to one another. And that’s fine. We don’t have to agree on much of anything.
But my one hope, is that you will join the political community with enthusiasm and an open mind.
It has been a very long time since we’ve had 5 active and engaged parties. I don’t just mean 5 active parties. I mean parties that fully embrace the political module. Ones that are involved in working together, or against each other. Ones that care about nominating Presidents. Ones that are willing to form alliances, or hold grudges. But most importantly, ones that are fully involved in the game.
At first, we had iNCi. And while they were a voting force to be reckoned with, at many times it felt like negotiating with terrorists, or invaders as opposed to an actual party.
And then there was the AFA. And they actually were terrorists.
And then we had BSP. And they’re active and engaged, but they’re also isolated. They don’t run with the herd anymore, whatever that means.
But now we have the Socialist Freedom Party. And I hope that you fully embrace your role as a Top 5 party. That you work with other parties. And against some too.
I’m not extending an olive branch, or hoping for an alliance. Far from it. I still disagree with you guys on most everything. But I am excited to have a new Top 5, and I am optimistic that you will take on your responsibility as a Top 5.
I hope that we have five Top 5s. Not 4+1.
Anyways... Cheers.

They're not real Communists anyway
And don't claim to be.
False advertising innit.
Should report you for that.
TBH... politically, they are more of a Tea Party.
How are we like the Tea Party?
Oldfags upset with the status quo. The Tea Party IRL is just a bunch of old hippies who realized that the need to produce to get ahead, rather than just consume. The simliar vein runs with SFP - their leadership are just re-treads from the old system with a new brand but the same old story.
...and they are (in-game) WAY more conservative than they are Socialist.
Socialist /😕 Communist. Power to the People.
great to see an Israel Stevens article

Holy crap. I honestly cannot remember the last time I read something as well put together as this. Many props to you IS. And you have hit the situation well.
"At first, we had iNCi. And while they were a voting force to be reckoned with, at many times it felt like negotiating with terrorists, or invaders as opposed to an actual party."
The word you are looking for is mafia.

Yes. Mafia is what I was looking for. I like that better.
Let's do it.
If the top 4 are acting cordial and extending a hand, look for the dagger in their other hand.
Yup... That's called 'politics' lol 🙂
"Power is a dagger hanging above you"
o7. The times are a changing, and I hope we see a new party system emerge.
