Andy : Member of the government Soojin : Special guest (Stalin) Stella : Studio-host Brian : Special guest 2 (Trotsky)

Stella : Hello everyone, this is the BASS radio news, and today we will be reporting about the current power struggle in our country. We have a special guest today, Leader Comrade Stalin! Soojin: You better have a good reason for making me come here. Stella: Of course, we will be interviewing your most important opponent in the USSR, Comrade Trotsky! Brian: Yes, why hello Comrade Stalin, I’m back from Mexico where you exiled me for no reason! Stella: Yeah welcome back Comrade Trotsky. So we will now begin interviewing the two people. Comrade Trotsky what did you believe the USSR should have done? Brian: Well I believed that the USSR could not have survived on communism alone, because our capitalist enemies would have invaded us. For this reason I thought it was necessary to spread communism to Western Europe and their colonies. Soojin: I object! I think that USSR must always come first in the government’s plans. The communists should concentrate on building up the economy of the USSR and not waste money on revolutionary groups abroad. That way the capitalist countries would never dare to attack us. Stella : We all know that Comrade Stalin’s theory, called Socialism in One Country, was more popular than Comrade Trotsky’s idea, which was called Comintern. Now we will focus on how Comrade Stalin was able to overthrow Comrade Trotsky. We will have an exclusive interview with a member of the former government, who will fill us in with the details. Hello! Andy: Hello. Stella: So how was Comrade Stalin able to gain power? Andy: Comrade Stalin first joined the Rightists, which believed that the NEP should be continued for quite some time… Soojin: Wait I didn’t know that they were believing in that! Brian: Yeah right! He just joined it because I was in the Left Opposition. Andy: Speaking of which, the Left Opposition thought that the USSR should be industrialized as soon as possible. So after Comrade Stalin joined the Rightists, he made all his supporters vote down Trotsky, and he was able to gain more popularity and forced Trotsky out of power. Then he started to attack his own group, the Rightists… Brian: Yes! What a hypocrite! Soojin: Be quiet! I was doing it for the country! Brian: That’s what they all say! Andy: Comrades, please calm down… So Comrade Stalin got rid of all his opponents in his Left Opposition, and was able to dominate the government by himself. I personally think that Comrade Stalin was being unreasonable and was able to use cunning tactics to get rid of all his enemies, and this is how… Soojin: Now its time for me go rule. Trotsky you can go back to Mexico and have some rest. Brian: How dare….!!!!!!! Stella: This was the BASS news, and thank you for staying in tune with us.
