Bill: Undermining the Communist Agenda

Details

Submitted by[?]: United Socialist Peoples Party

Status[?]: defeated

Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

Voting deadline: January 2564

Description[?]:

As an alleged extremist Communist party, the USPP finds it ironic that such an obviously communist bill was passed requiring work for the government. The USPP feels that it is the individual's right to determine who they wish to work for, not the state's.

ToDebating the Undermining the Communist Agenda
MessageIf this was passed under the TACP's watch we apologize to our constituents. The right to contract ones labor out to whoever they see fit is one of the most basic rights and most fundamental underpinnings of our party; we eagerly support this bill.

FromDemocratic Capitalist Delegation
ToDebating the Undermining the Communist Agenda
MessageAs the current law in effect was reached as a compromise between the liberal and conservative blocs, we find it inappropriate to overturn this carefully negotiated solution.

FromRightful Radical Party
ToDebating the Undermining the Communist Agenda
MessageThis bill has our deepest disagreement. We think that every man has to serve a term in the military. It is both expiriental and useful. That is our belief.

ToDebating the Undermining the Communist Agenda
MessageWe believe the current law is suitable.

ToDebating the Undermining the Communist Agenda
MessageIt saddens the USPP to know that the people of Telamon will never truly be free with such extremist legislation opressing them.

Date23:49:29, April 18, 2008 CET
FromDemocratic Capitalist Delegation
ToDebating the Undermining the Communist Agenda
MessageWe would advise the USPP that this is not extremist legislation, as choice is afforded to the citizens of Telamon. Also, the citizens of Telamon enjoy multitudes of other liberties which help ensure they remain a free people.

MessageThey do have an one option, as to how to serve their term, but they do not have the option of working elsewhere.

Date03:18:39, April 19, 2008 CET
FromConservative Ordo Malleus (COM)
ToDebating the Undermining the Communist Agenda
MessageWhile working for the government they are taught valuable skills that can lead to higher paying jobs in the private sector. Giving back should be embraced and a term isn't so long as to overly inconvenience one's life.
-Thorden Raxney
COM Party Leader

FromTelamon Minarchist Party
ToDebating the Undermining the Communist Agenda
MessageWhy should they be inconvenienced at all? We do not own the citizenry to dictate their lives as we see fit. And if there are such great benefits to this so called "service" then people will voluntarily join it; the fact that the programs have to be propped up by government mandate reveal just how unpopular the program is.

I also find it disheartening that our allies in the DCD and RP didn't hesitate to chide the former LSD for placing politics over principal, but will vote against this legislation even if their parties and any supporters of capitalism actually object to it and the reprehensible ideas it stands for.

MessageThe USPP strongly believes that the rights of the people are the only greater good.

Date20:59:46, April 20, 2008 CET
FromDemocratic Capitalist Delegation
ToDebating the Undermining the Communist Agenda
MessageWe resent the accusation that we place politics over principal, as we believe that reaching a mutual agreement is a principal of its own. Recognizing that not all the people of Telamon agree in full with the views of our party is the driving force behind compromise, as a compromise which suits each party to an extent will best serve the population of Telamon as a whole. We have stated before and will do so again that ultimately, the supreme allegiance of any party is only to people they serve.

ToDebating the Undermining the Communist Agenda
MessageAdditionally, we have also said before that we would support legislation that made service mandatory only if the government chose to make it as much during times of war, as we also believe that is a relatively centrist compromise. However, no party has made such a proposal, and we cannot support proposals to either extreme.
