| Message | That is not socialism. |
| Date | 07:28:44, September 06, 2007 CET | From | Rodina | To | Debating the Building socialism in Trigunia |
| Message | It protects the working class from decadence as well as strengthening the nation's security and control of its own economy. |
| Date | 13:34:19, September 06, 2007 CET | From |  TSDRP | To | Debating the Building socialism in Trigunia |
| Message | I would say it fits into the broad definition of Socialism. It is also perfectly socialist to oppose such measures, we would just consider doing so less realistic. Humans are decadent creatures. |
| Date | 14:06:38, September 06, 2007 CET | From | Social and Liberal Democratic Party | To | Debating the Building socialism in Trigunia |
| Message | This is not socialism. This is randomly selecting proposals, changing them, then shoving them all in one Bill. |
| Date | 18:04:43, September 06, 2007 CET | From | Progressive Revolutionary Front(MLM) | To | Debating the Building socialism in Trigunia |
| Message | The only ones who think decadence is threat are reactionaries who have a fetish for authority. |
| Date | 22:11:20, September 06, 2007 CET | From | Rodina | To | Debating the Building socialism in Trigunia |
| Message | I agree that the proposals are varied, but they are all about protecting the nation and its people from capitalism, decadence and from a capitalist-controlled government. Indecent entertainment is just as much a drug for the masses as religion. |
