| Message | The workers will organize no matter you legislate. This could prove useful in that most Cildanian unions are tools of capitalist industry anyway and will be replaced by more radical militant organizations. |
| Date | 00:14:22, September 13, 2007 CET | From | Action | To | Debating the Anti-Collectivist Reform Bill |
| Message | How can you claim that you stand for Liberty and yet you are stripping the Right to Strike and the unions. By illegalisating Choice you are abandoning all pretenses to freedom |
| Date | 00:34:19, September 13, 2007 CET | From | Justice League of Cildania | To | Debating the Anti-Collectivist Reform Bill |
| Message | The Justice League does stand for liberty and we oppose these measures. |
| Date | 01:47:20, September 13, 2007 CET | From | Imperial Cildanian Egoists | To | Debating the Anti-Collectivist Reform Bill |
| Message | Unions and DWCs are opposed to the individual, and thus worthy only of destruction. As to strikes, if an individual does not want to work, he can either quit his job or ask for vacation time. Strikes throw a wrench into the gears of industry, from which the economic lifeblood of the nation flows. |
| Date | 02:03:19, September 13, 2007 CET | From | Action | To | Debating the Anti-Collectivist Reform Bill |
| Message | the DWCs are, the unions protect rights of the individual against the industries. Yes there are some red unions, but there are many decent unions which stand for the rights of their members without political leaning. |

| Date | 02:37:12, September 14, 2007 CET | From | Action | To | Debating the Anti-Collectivist Reform Bill |
| Message | Leagemen, Are you to afraid to stand for your principles that you turn your opinion towards a bill you adamantly opposed at the feeblest of reasonings? Freedom fails and the libertarians watch silently from their cigarrettes and tabloid tales |
