People of Nemkhavia, my brothers and sisters, In recent days, we have seen the rise of a new order in the Socialist Union. The League of Liberal Leftists has been challenged by a new Authoritarian Communist Party, led by Theodore DuRuisseau, and I fear that his challenge has been successful. I declare our eternal friendship with Pristinia to be alive and strong. We disagree with the choice of Comrade Dresner to walk this new path, but we do not hate him for it. We disagree with the choice of authoritarian rule, but we do not hate Pristinia for it.
