I take a seat near Victoria and look around the room. Precious decided to come along too.
Your room is nicer than mine." I comment.

As soon as Calithin arrives, I start the meeting. "I am glad that so many of you showed up. Now, you might be wondering what this is about. It is about taking control of our destinies. I have been thinking about it a lot lately. Calithin told me some things, some concerns he had, and I brushed them off. What more can we do?"
"But that is a passive approach. We can no longer afford to be passive. We have to be proactive and beat "them" to the punch."
"Them being socialists, anarchists, and any other group who would ruin this world if they got enough support behind their crack pot ideas."

"So...what are you getting at?"

The next day, on Sayuka's funeral, I went to her family's home, in all black long sleeve satin dress and slippers. Once I entered the home, I took off my street slippers and put on the inside slippers. In the main living area, there is large black coffin(inside is her body), and the coffin is surround of her favorite flowers and other kinds of flowers. I sign my name in the book and walk towards the coffin. I bow at the coffin and then bow at her parents. I can easily tell that they are depressed and really sad that their daughter is gone now. I stayed at the funeral for couple more hours before leaving the house.

"What happened in France, what could have happened in Venezuela, it is all too much. We can't allow for any of this. We can't give up an inch of ground."
"But they are right, things do have to change. And we have to change them. I have been pretty moderate all along, going along with elections and such, even though my party never does very well."
"We need to take more drastic measures if we are ever going to see the changes we want to see."
"We've been waiting for people to vote for us, going along with the system...what is that? Waiting for the masses?"
"We are capable individuals, and as such, we should be making these changes ourselves."

Laurent just crosses his arms and looks down. He isn't sure he agrees with his sister that they need to do more drastic things. They've been getting more votes in recent years. But since she seems to determined, he decides not to speak up.

"I agree. The more drastic, the better. Wipe the commie scum off the face of the earth, I say. We have control of most of the military power. Why not hit them, and hit them hard?"

"I agree Victoria. And I think Japan is a testiment to what capable individuals can do when they decide to take control of their fates. Here we see that overnight the entire government was dissolved and replaced by a ruling council of business leaders."
"I am not sure if I agree with what happened her entirely, since this council acts in many ways as a government and does provide some services. But I see it as a step in the right direction."

"I am not talking about just attacking the communists. I am talking about taking control of a nation." I state to Hiisi.
"You and Calithin send mercenaries to the 3rd world to protect your interests there. Pull some of them back."
"I think we need to be planning our own revolution..."
"In England since we wouldn't be able to pull it off in some poor country, and what would be the point?"

"I like things the way they are. A revolution? I mean, I voted in the last election and donate a lot of money to different parties. We don't need a revolution to control the government."

I nod.
"Alright, that I can do. But, for this... we might need some help. I could talk to an old friend of mine. I think he would be quite keen to lend a hand."
I doubt whether or not Keitoleinen would want to help, but it is worth a try. I smile.

"It isn't about controlling the government. It is about abolishing it." I reply to Aleksandra.
"Think about it, if this worked in England and was applied to other countries, you would no longer be regulated by governments. You would no longer be taxed. You could control things."
"I usually am for at least a small government to upkeep the courts, police, and military, and maybe we could set something like that up, provided it is weak enough. But, the point is, we have to do something."
"Socialists and anarchists don't have the monopoly on revolution."
"Good, talk to him. But we should act soon on this and do some real planning. We need a concrete plan on how we can actually pull this off. That is over throw the government while at the same time getting the people to buy into what we have done..."
"We could kill some officials off, but bribery also works, or at least worked here."

I start shaking my head.
"This sounds to me like something much more socistic then capitalistic. I don't know if I like it..."

Adrik listens to Victoria speak and is excited about the idea. He agrees that something should be done, and that in the past people haven't really put serious thought into anarcho capitalist revolution.
"I will consider what should be done. I think we should all travel to England though. It will be easier to plan things from there. We should gather what lessons we can from the Keiretsu council and return to England at once to start our work."
He looks at Hiisi, who he figures is a more moderate capitalist. "Ah, you are too moderate...you and Aleksandra both. You can not be so lukewarm."
