Message | Article 1: We need to control all the banks to give better loans to the people and don't make them poorer. Article 2: Going on strike is a right and the oppressive rich millionary factory owners can't fire them for defending their rights. Article 3: Gambling makes the people poorer so it's not good for the country. Article 4: If we control the industry we can give good works for the Kazulian Peoples! Articles 5 and 6: We can't totally control the radio or the television because this is a democracy but i think that if the televisions are not for selling things or betting we can give them money. |

Message | ok |

Message | Article 2: if the factories are going to be owned by the government, there are no oppressive rich millionary factory owners to strike against. If they still decide to strike, they are fighting their Nation and therefor their comrades. I think the government owned factories should have the possibility to put rioters out of their workpool, because they are a danger to productivity and morale. |
Date | 09:34:58, September 12, 2007 CET | From | Green Communist Party of Kazulia | To | Debating the Communist Reforms! |
Message | they can protest against the government because we can't control all the factories in Kazulia at the same time so they have to show us their proposals going on a rally |

Random quote: "We must show that liberty is not merely one particular value but that it is the source and condition of most moral values. What a free society offers to the individual is much more than what he would be able to do if only he were free. We can therefore not fully appreciate the value of freedom until we know how a society of free men as a whole differs from one in which unfreedom prevails." - Friedrich August Hayek |
