| Message | A weak economy? Son, this is not a weak economy we are living in now. This is bordering on communism and we will not tolerate it. If we had our way, we get government out of business all together but this is what we know will be supported. |

| Message | Sorry, but I have to go with Marx and Lenin, as well as every Marxist I've talked to, over you. Communism is not a form of government- it is the state of lacking government. You know anarchists and communists want the same thing in the long run. However socialism is a transitory stage seems horrible to anarchists... |

| Message | Read something by Marx or Lenin or talk to a Marxist-Leninist. Despite its wish to, the bourgeoisie cannot redefine Marxism however they like. |

| Message | I have read something by Marx. I did not agree with him then and I do not agree with him now. I do not agree with Lenin either. In fact, Lenin had a quasi-free-market system until those that ran the government with him forced him to cancel it. Most notably Stalin. Now we are moving into a real world discussion and since this is NOT the real world, I'll stop the debate on this issue right there. Now let us debate this properly. |

| Message | OOC: Lenin's "quasi free market system" was meant to be very very temporary if you're referring to his New Economic Policy. He never meant for that to last; he only did it because what's been termed "war communism" was failing and it would be too painful for the people, particularly the peasantry, to rush into something. "Now let us debate this properly." You're very contemptuous. Also the ideas I'm putting forth in Tukarali are based on real life events... |

| Message | OOC: Indeed it was supposed to be temporary and when ya look at the History of the USSR, when they stopped the free-market system, things turned for the worse economicly. As to the events being in RL, stop it. It is considered bad forum. |

| Message | I like neither option that well.. |
