| Message | we like article 6 and article 3 but overall we must vote no because this bill goes completely against our economic policies. |
| Date | 18:20:36, February 21, 2007 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Blood and Soil initiative |
| Message | Some good, and some bad. We find the advertising ban over-zealous (and potentially destructive - after all, shouldn't The Party be allowed to advertise?). We could happily support the agricultural initiatives. We can get fully behind government taking control of industry. We could even support slavery, in some circumstances - such as punishment for criminal acts, or for prisoners of war. The dealbreakers here, are going to have to be those articles that take power out of the hands of The People - the destruction of the Trade Union, the abolition of secondary action, the blanket acceptance of slavery. Even the policy towards POW's strikes us as fatally flawed. We don't mind working POW's hard, but executing them without any recourse, is just going to hurt our own People, when they fight in other nations. |
