| Message | why do you want to put small farms out of business in favor of factory farms? |
| Date | 03:50:11, November 14, 2007 CET | From | Communist Party of Beluzia and Bailon | To | Debating the Socialist Revolution Act |
| Message | Industry is more successful when it's large-scale and socialized, agriculture is the same. We will still support the environment, but larger farms will improve efficiency. Machinery can be shared and owned by single farms. You also must remember that we are requiring all businesses, including farms, to be run by the workers. |

| Message | Full-time politicians who work under workers' wages are workers. The capitalists and bourgeois pigs who exploit the workers are the only reactionary class. One example would be Pig Zog. Again, communism is an extension of democracy into the workplace. And Vladimir Ilyich has a smoking hot communist wife, for your information! |

| Message | The Whig Party wrote: There is no democracy in communism. Why the hell not? It amy be there has not been a democratic Communist in the past doesn't mean that there can't be one in the future. :P |
| Date | 17:39:57, November 15, 2007 CET | From | Constitutional Monarchy Party | To | Debating the Socialist Revolution Act |
| Message | Okay, my mistake. There has never been democracy in communism, and I cannot see the two terms working well together in the future. communism seeks to remove the capitalist freedoms associated with democracy. |

| Message | Einstein also happened to be a revolutionary socialist... Anyway, don't be so stupid as to degrade a state to "democratic" or "nondemocratic" terms. Every State, without exception, has democratic and authoritarian characteristics, because the State exists to oppress a specific class, and humans are social creatures (this gives rise to democracy). Many "Communist" (there is no State in communism) have been profoundly democratic in some areas, and profoundly authoritarian in others. Communism is an extremely broad term that has not been put into practice, so we are not insane. Every socialist system built for communism builds its own unique model of socialism. We are not performing the same action. We follow our own model. And to the Whigs: the only exclusive freedom in capitalism is the freedom to seek profit and exploit others. If ANYTHING, including "democratic freedoms" got in the way of that, it would not be allowed. |

| Message | screw democratic freedoms. |
| Date | 03:13:23, November 18, 2007 CET | From | Neo-Marxist revolutionary Party | To | Debating the Socialist Revolution Act |
| Message | This would be a Communist revolution, not a Socialist revolution, please get your terminology correct. We will not support. |
| Date | 04:51:30, November 18, 2007 CET | From | People's Populist Party - Zogist Mafia | To | Debating the Socialist Revolution Act |
| Message | The People actually favor some limited forms of socialism, like mandatory medical care. We do not favor ruining the economy however. |
| Date | 05:52:14, November 18, 2007 CET | From | Communist Party of Beluzia and Bailon | To | Debating the Socialist Revolution Act |
| Message | This is not communism, because the State still exist and classes still exist. Your terminology is wrong on two counts. Firstly, you do not know what socialism is. Secondly, you do not know anything about who Marx was. Beluzia and Bailon does not need revisionist scum. |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
