[i]As long as poverty, injustice and gross inequality persist in our world, none of us can truly rest.[/i] -  Nelson Mandela.

[i]In the years since it's formation, some have come to associate that socialism is against capitalism. While it is true that both the founder of the ideology Karl Marx and many others have been anti-capitalist - I think, this sort of attitude is wrong and false. For I myself, have no dislike of capitalism and I do consider, that almost every system in the world has a bit of capitalism in them, one way or the other."[/i]

[i]"Capitalism at it's very basic, is simply exchange of goods for something else. It is the idea, of a man or woman being able to make his fortune by the skill and will of his own body and mind. Not be subjected or lorded over by some landlord or Tsar whom dictates everything he does for the entirety of his lifetime. The most basic form of bartering could be considered capitalistic - since you are trading your good for the good of others. However, what I dislike is greed...[/i]

[i]"Capitalism in it's form means the support of individual-trade - allowing people to trade with others, to protect their gain and promote it further. However, many people get lost in this system. A system which turns the simple desire of seeking your own fortune, into a chase of the road to fortune itself. Many people gain nothing yet an addiction. An addiction for more money, more goods or more material power."[/i]

[i]"I myself, can be considered both a capitalist and socialist. I write books and write poetry. Sometimes selling it to others, for their hard-earned currency - in that same regard, I fight for the right - of that same buyer who is a worker himself, to have his worth paid in full. Whether they be an owner of a business or laborer in that business."[/i]

[i]"Socialism itself is a basic cry of dislike, against the capitalist system - which has turned away from the simple times of bartering for goods and working for your fortune. To fighting against the political elite, that is dominated by rich and wealthy men - whom could be considered aristocratic in all but name. It is true - capitalism has helped many away from the broken past of feudalism. But it has still many roads to travel and much reform to enact. In my own belief, socialism to me - is having that reform enacted now."[/i]

While Yukarev kept riding his memorials, when he wasn't making sure that the Union wasn't needing something handled or fixed. With the oil-line slowly being developed, four nations in the Russian landscape could take some comfort in not being subjected to the cold and perhaps even a chance to restart their industry. As much as people disliked each other now, they were all still Russian - they all spoke the same language and in a way, still worshiped the same religion.

With the already approving marks, coming from the Cooperation to Establish Oil - Chairman Yukarev had also send letters to the Tsarina of Moscow, the Queen of Ukraine and the leadership of Smolensk. Namely he wanted to establish the Committee for People and Resources - a political-economic alliance between the four powers, which had begun from oil trading and producing and would hopefully help reduce the skirmishes along their borders and improve the livelihood of everyone involved. Namely, in the most ironic sense - trade would help to hopefully lessen conflict and fighting. 

Since one had less reason to fight, if their people weren't starving, cold or workless.
