Alvarez snorted, straightening up, "Helm, hard over, get us some distance... give me some evasive maneuvers..."

The Trotsky burst into action, slipping through the asteroids that the larger cruiser was having a harder time navigating, slipping through the rocks as the corsair weapons slammed into rocks, exploding ineffectually.

"Zero thrust, turn as about two cables port..." Alvarez commanded, grabbing up his coffee cup and riding the deck as it heaved under him.

"The first part of a successful revolution is Democratic reform, without it we are doomed to the slavery of the upper classes... the bourgeoisie, who have already bought their power, and will use it to crush your voice."

The Trotsky pivoted on its axis, training its main cannons on the corsair cruiser.

"FIRE!" Alvarez commanded, as the mortar blared, streaking with perfect precision at the cruiser.

He sipped his coffee, "the second thing needed is economic reform, for without it, any democratic reform you try shall suffer from corruption and decay. For those that have money, they shall always seek to use that money to exploit the weak."

"Sir, incoming fire..." the TNC announced.

Alvarez smiled tightly as he held onto the back of the gunnery chair as the weapons fire smashed into the shields.

"And the last thing you need is the will of the people, for without that, you will fail!"

He smiled, "Helm hard over, full speed, take us around them... hit them with a CD... now!"

Nodding in satisfaction as his nimble ship out flanked the cruiser he looked again at the applicant.

"Are communists against the accumulation of wealth?" he asked taking another drink.
