Alvin took a deep breath, showing fear would only get him killed. Trying to be arrogant would only get him killed... and trying to bluff that was just plain stupid.
He had one chance, that was to speak as openly and honestly about what he knew of the Coalition, try to show the Commissar that he belonged there.
He licked his dry lips and looked at the other applicant beside him, speaking first. Ive learned a few things in making the choice to come here, sir. Dont look scared, stay focused stay sharp stay alive.
I have learned that Capitalism is one threat, He steadied himself, to ask what he wanted to ask, but what about the feudal monarchies of Bretonia and Kusari? You cant beat them without the workers, in those houses it is the workers who must win the support of the common folk of the Farmers or the Mollys for that matter. I mean, the people that live in those houses, they havent found true democracy, and look at what the corporations are doing strangling any chance of a revolutionary situation it is bad for business.
I guess the Corporations are just afraid of a working class stirring up and gaining some kind of what is the word understanding of the exploitation going on?
Get to the point Katz his inner voice urged.
I dont support socialism in just one house; I believe it is already everywhere, growing stronger with each passing day. The working class, like where I come from like me were already starting to act, be it the Liberty Rogues, the Mollys, the worker parties in Rheinland heck even the Kusari have a Farmers Alliance on there hands the revolution is starting, and it is the Coalition that inspired it from back before the exodus, it is the Coalition that leads it now, and it will be the coalitions job to govern it to cultivate it into a true workers mass action.
The Coalitions meetings are everywhere, the pamphlets are out there, and it is working your being listened to and each and everyone of the disillusioned those who have pledged themselves to the various causes I spoke of before, are looking for real answers and finding it here, with the Coalition. There are organized meetings, unions standing firm as they try to take back what is being bought out from under them by opportunistic corporations...
You see it isnt just about overthrowing the government, it is about dealing with the industry capitalists and that isnt achieved through revenge.
So I am not here seeking vengeance, I am not here seeking blood, and I am not some whining kid with a black past looking for someone to give me a hand out of the rubbish pit. I am a worker I fix machines, its what I do and I am proud of it I am a simple man who has opened his eyes and seen the corruption that looms over my head and I want to do something about it.
He straightened his shoulders, and offered a plain and honest look.
Thats it, that is all. I just want a chance to help open other peoples eyes to the realization that it is us who are going to win this in the end. I just want to earn my place through the hard work that got me here in the first place, sir.
