| Message | We will tolerate no foreign investment in our industries. Likatonia for Likatonians. |

| Message | Article 1 is a good step, but Article 2 is unsupportable. |
| Date | 23:48:17, August 03, 2007 CET | From | Riot of Lone Romantics | To | Debating the Corporate anti-predation act |
| Message | Article 1 is not a good step. Article 1 would fail to achieve it's goals, as you forget that local government is susceptible and prone to corruption. Likatonian national industries should be kept by Likatonia as Likatonians. As for article 2... why would we want Democratic Workers' Councils. Workers councils = power to the proletariat = not what we want... |
