| Message | The DSP supports historical documentation and prevention of information loss when it comes to languages, but we also believe in a single language as a part of a United people, and therefore agreeing with promoting the use of several languages, especially minority languages is counter productive to that goal. We however are not opposed to educational systems teaching the international majority languages as requirements and minority languages as electives though. |

| Message | Multilingual barriers in a country serve little purpose other than to further divide the citizenry, and prevent cohesion and homogenity. This is contrary to the national goals of the AU. |
| Date | 01:24:11, August 18, 2007 CET | From | Sekowan Communist Party | To | Debating the Ratification of the The Minority Languages Treaty |
| Message | Historical culture ought always be preserved, as long as it does not interfere with the furtherance of the aims of the proletariat. Languages especially should be preserved. |

| Random quote: "I worked at a factory owned by Germans, at coal pits owned by Frenchmen, and at a chemical plant owned by Belgians. There I discovered something about capitalists. They are all alike, whatever the nationality. All they wanted from me was the most work for the least money that kept me alive. So I became a communist." - Nikita Khrushchev |
