| Message | The Communist Party is hardly a political party to talk-about "equality." On paper, sure. In reality though it's "everyone is equal but some are MORE equal than others" (i.e. Stalinst Russia, North Korea, China, Cuba, etc.). Or else, if its true blue, everyone is poor together. I guess that's one definition of equality. |

| Message | Instead of taking on the facts the CP states, you take on the CP? WEagree with your exxamples of unequal communist societies, which is why the FSDP is not communists. But that does not take waway the fact that your proposed bill is also far removed from equality. Education is the only way to break the cycle of poverty some families are caught up in. But we are willing to compromise. We will support the bill regarding teriary education, with trouble, if you keep public schools in place. |
