Stalin (Grace Fitch)

        The path to a better life will only come with great actions. Yes, we could all have a tea party every once and a while, but what will that do! It's too conservative! Change will only come if there are those willing to go to do the extremes for their cause. Why, The Soviet Union would not be were it is today without it's extreme ways of attacking issues. As ruler, I was able to build large factories, vary the Soviet's industrial range, give education to the youth, and much more; I would not have been able to do this without first getting rid of the existing economy and putting in a new one. People might say that removing the existing economical methods was extreme. I say that those extreme actions allowed me to create a striving unity of my people. Everyday I look into the eyes of children and see their pride to be apart of my country, I see that they are willing to fight for the Soviet Union. Such honor and pride takes hard work but with extremism, we were able to get there.
         Extremism is growing because it is what is right. People need change. They need a ruler who is willing to take an extreme step to create the unity and peace they so desire. They need people like me. People who will give them what they want and give it to them with a just hand. But a hand like that needs to be supplied in order to give them something, and it will not get what is needed through compromise. An extreme approach will be awarded, and will allow those in charge to be supplied with they need in order to give the people want they want. I believe that extremism is growing because it needs to. There is no other way to give the people what they desire, therefore extremism rose.
         Extremism should be supported as a religion. Those of extremist notions should be rewarded for their fight for their country. I believe that extremist should be encouraged and taught in all schools because their is no better way to a bright future than extremism.
