| Message | This isn't our understanding of the Thompson-Fletcher doctrine. We'd vote yes on a resolution that articulated it according to terms we understood it to encompass. |

| Message | since when are private armies allowed within the state? communists are trying to seize the power and act on their own? this is absolutely unacceptable and has nothing to do with democracy values. |

| Message | OOC: With paramillitary groups, the RP roles (unoffical, see the Rilandor Accords in the forums) state that to determine size, a party uses the polls that they can order to determine A) how many people vote for their party and B) how many people that vote for them are Fanatical Millitarists. Then, you take this number and divide by 12.5 to determine how many people are in a party's paramillitary group, if they indeed have one. |

| Message | We allow private citizens to have nuclear weapons a small party army is nothing to fear. Yes our army is supported by Comintern but they obey the party which would never attempt to overthrow a democratic government. It has long been knowledge the party is part of the Pan-Terran Red Army |

| Message | "since when are private armies allowed within the state? communists are trying to seize the power and act on their own? this is absolutely unacceptable and has nothing to do with democracy values." Neither does seceding because you lost the election. |
