Description[?]:
| Some of our comrades in parliament (those that are not sockpuppets for the capitalist dogs) have previously indicated that they would support a motion allowing workers the vital right to support their comrades in the fight against exploitation. We presently ask them, and all other parties who do not lick the imperialist boot, to follow their words with actions. |

| Message | The Militarist Party supports the MNUF on this matter, as well as our own opinions. We should not risk losing our entire industry for a period of time because of one simple strike. |

| Message | We fail to see how the livelihoods of workers can be considered 'simple.' Explain. |

| Message | Leave your ideological jeer points at the door, please. Free markets with minimal regulation to protect the people of Malivia and not the corporate and industrial industries. You believe it is the 'individual' whom needs entire control of their entire working condition and environments. Unions are allowed, the right to form a union is granted; these are ample courses. It is the M.N.U.F.'s position that a small central government with a strong federalist system of direct representation is the best way to ensure the best for all within Malivia. It is through these ideas we accomplish true freedoms, liberty, equality and a strong economy NOT at the entire burden of the Malivian citizens. If the worker should run it all, as you'd have us believe-they live in a nation where the majority clearly believe any Malivian can accomplish this in the free and fair system in place. It is no ones position within the M.N.U.F. that the livelihoods of works are simple and such accusations are entirely unfounded. . . |
