This is part 9 of a series. Go to 1st Paper for the first Part.
Augest 5, 1778
Dear citizens of Vision,
Famine sweeps across the land. We live in squalor while the rich aristocracy hoards food. What does a government who has sworn to protect its citizens decide to do when to time to make sacrifices arrives? One would assume that it helps its people. Sadly this is not the case. Instead of making those who hoard sell and distribute it, instead of increasing the minimum wage so that food could be afforded, they choose to abandon us. They would say that all of our sacrifices, all of our devotion, the cause some died to further, all of it was for nothing. They were the people who called on us to become more then we were. More the peasants and farmers who would blindly follow the oppressive Eastern Empire.
We are more discerning now, and will not let another oppressive government try to undermine our utopia. If we continue we may beagle to achieve a perfect world of knowledge and learning. But, all of that will never be if we throw away our one shot. Professor Stricket said that if we rejoin the empire it will trod on our way of life. We cannot let this happen.
The Utopia for which we rose up to create must be given a chance to come to pass. We must defend it even if it means taking up arms just as we did against the Eastern Empire. Vision must remember that we are a discerning population, not a mindless rabble. We will not let our livelihoods be taken away. When we were led out of the Eastern Empire, we were like a child who needed to be shown the way. We were young and naive. But now, we have reached manhood. No longer will we let our hands be held by the likes of Mordon Genette. We have to chart our own path, to prove to ourselves that we can achieve great things.
However, we have nothing to prove to our rulers. They led us hoping to woo us with ideas of science and freedom. They thought we could be controlled. No longer. Our rulers have become our burden. We must throw off the yoke of the aristocracy.
Revolution! We must rise up and establish our own democratic government, our own utopia. Further the revolution.
