Funny but not really OT. 4/10

"We have heard tell that you have proved hard-mouthed in harness for your enemies. It is just as well that you today made feel this in your turn. So it has come to this Hrafnkel that you have got your deserts at last. And who unlikely you must have thought it that you would come by such shame at anyone's hands as is now the case. I wonder should we set a court of execution or enthrall you?"

Jarl Thorgeir upon capturing a Carolingian Comes.
For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast,
And breathed in the face of the foe as he passed;
And the eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill,
And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still!

"You too, Eleazar... Damn it! Damn it all! Don't you realize that I am the will of the people, Eleazar? Thus, if democracy denotes the collective whim of the people, I epitomize that caprice. Nothing is more democratic than autocracy, why can't you see that? Why?!"- Ezekiel Bardoff, Socialist Dictator

Ezekiel Bardoff uttered these words immediately following a dwarfted conspiracy which attempted to eliminate him. The leader of the conspirators, Eleazar Bayurin, muttered these words before he was forcefully restrained by the Red Guard: "My friend, my good friend, the idea of power has corrupted you! Now, your regime has become callous to the will of the people and serves only to perpetuate itself. You are not Ezekiel Bardoff, you are not the man I once knew, you are a tyrant... Thus, I shall end this travesty. For the Republic!" After he was aprehended and Bardoff issued the above quote Bayurin replied by snidely remarking: "Either because I am blind or because you are mad!" Although Bardoff afforded him a pardon, he refused and was later executed.

History does not remember the beloved, diluted leader, the moderate. Rather, it remembers the cruel and unjust. The tyrant. But what history is inclined to favour, is the beloved tyrant. One who rules with a bloodied, iron fist, and convinces the future generations he was a great, if strict, hero.

Everywhere but at the front-lines, those traitorous dogs shall be the end of us all" - Prime Minister Alan Green speaking during the Confederate War.

"Real Malgravean citizens fought and died for every inch of former Malgravean Soil! Meanwhile the Communists, Socialists and Fascists all rested and plotted to stab the regime in the back. I cannot stand idle while the name of Malgraveans who died to protect the continued survival of democracy is tarnished by those beasts" Prime Minister Alan Green speaking about violent protests on the Anniversary of the failed Gallipoli landings.

A revolution is a struggle to the death between the future and the past.
Fidel Castro



A revolution is not a bed of roses.
Fidel Castro



I began revolution with 82 men. If I had to do it again, I do it with 10 or 15 and absolute faith. It does not matter how small you are if you have faith and plan of action.
Fidel Castro



I never saw a contradiction between the ideas that sustain me and the ideas of that symbol, of that extraordinary figure, Jesus Christ.
Fidel Castro



I would not vote for the mayor. It's not just because he didn't invite me to dinner, but because on my way into town from the airport there were such enormous potholes.
Fidel Castro



North Americans don't understand... that our country is not just Cuba; our country is also humanity.

They talk about the failure of socialism but where is the success of capitalism in Africa, Asia and Latin America?

Person 2: And how few Athenians died any where near Sparta.

The Confederate War (1898-1910) was when the United Kingdom of Malgrave was invaded by it's previous Confederate Allies. The mixture of trench and open field warfare was horrific (think a mixture of WW1, 2 and the Winter War). The United Kingdom lost around 47% of it's Pre-War population. In the first quote Prime Minister Alan Green was referring to those who refused to be sent to the front lines or take part in any war related activity. (those who had shell shock or other related issues were often sent to factories etc so they continued to help the war effort).

Second quote was after the war. Violent Protests took place on the 1 year anniversary of the failed landings at Gallipoli, Fascists and Communists attempted to rise up and other-throw the Democratically Elected government and Constitutional Monarchy. Think of the stabbed in the back feelings after the First World War without the Anti-Semitism

"Those who have witnessed the full horrors of the Confederate War will never be the same again. I remember the Confederate troops kept charging at our defensive lines as mortar and machine gun fire took thousands of lives, not only the young boys but their mothers and fathers." Foreign Minister Heinrich Tupolev speaking in Parliament regarding the countries isolationist policies.

"Our allies? The same allies that invaded our land and killed women and children? Or do you refer to the same allies that did nothing as we cried for help, the allies that turned away when the citizens of Epping rose up against the invaders and wished for freedom that never came. We're surrounded by enemies not by friends and those same enemies wish to destroy Malgrave and it's culture" Foreign Minister Heinrich Tupolev again speaking in Parliament about isolationist issues.
