| Date | 17:15:01, February 25, 2008 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Confederalist Manifesto (Economy) |
| Message | This is nonsensical - what is the advantage (much less the 'red' advantage) to entirely privatiing banks? What is the advantage to removing the safeguard of democratic representation from Union decisions? The 'local government' legislation is ridiculous - allowing local governments to discriminate based on colour of skin? Unbalancing the internal investment equilibrium? Arbitrary and wrong. There is almost nothing worth supporting here. Repropose the DWC issue alone, perhaps - we could support that. |

| Random quote: "The Revolution needs to progress. We as humans need to evolve into higher beings through better moral virtues. And we can achieve that if we clean ourselves from the immoral. Those who go against the Revolution, go against human progress and must be freed in the most humane way possible. That is why we introduced the guillotine." - Maximus Robertson, former Davostani revolutionary |
