| Message | Date 04:05:41, November 10, 2007 CET From Partido Comunista de Saridan To Debating the Land Redistrubution - Support the peasantry! Message If you cannot agree to point 2 then you are aiding the capitalist class. No, I just believe in another possible solution, instead of trying to get everything on earth owned by the state. And, if it is supposed that we are now a coalition, would be nice that you think things before say we aid the capitalist class, because we had never insulted the communist therefore we don't agree in some things. |
