Description: Years after the death of Comrade Ioseb Steel, revolutionary leader of East Lebatuck, his successor has publicly accused him of abuses of power, factionalism, and subversion of the worker's revolution. As Steel was considered to be the center of the Socialist world for over four decades, Party leaders are scrambling to prepare a response.
Option 1: "Just look at these allegations!" cries Comrade @@RANDOMNAME@@, People's Commissar of Foreign Affairs, before smashing a bust of Steel on your desk. "Mass incarceration, assassinations of political opponents, not to mention what happened with that bear. He even had his own doctor arrested for being Bigtopian! For the sake of the Revolution, we must denounce Comrade Steel, Steelist policy, Steelist art, Steelist agriculture, Steelist industry..."

Option 2: "TREASON!" screams @@RANDOMNAME@@, leader of the Red Youth and top of the graduating class at the Comrade Steel People's Friendship University. "Our Glorious Worker's Revolution could never have succeeded without the Father of Nations, the Greatest Thinker of Socialism, the Iron Sword of the Worker's Revolution! These allegations are nothing less than factionalist propaganda. Half of it doesn't even make sense- how could a bear fit into a refrigerator? Break off relations with East Lebatuck and mandate that every citizen of @@NATION@@ learn how Steel saved the Lebatuckese revolution."

Option 3: "The operating word there is revolution," mutters Comrade @@RANDOMNAME@@, People's Commissar of Internal Security, before slipping a bug into your coffee mug. "Comrade Steel came to power in the midst of the Lebatuckese Revolution. Everything he ordered was necessary to maintain the dictatorship of the proletariat, including the mass executions in Beiforgrad. We shouldn't be afraid to take the same steps, as long as we only take them against Kulaks, wreckers, and other enemies of the revolution."

Option 4: "I had a thought," interjects your brother, stuffing a wad of United Federation dollars into his back pocket. "If anything, this mess with Comrade Steel proves that socialism isn't going to work out. I have a couple of friends who can help us reprivatize our industry, and," he lowers his voice to a whisper, "they say they know what really happened with Comrade Bronstein and that bear!"
