| Message | Are you trying to introduce communism? |
| Date | 00:37:16, June 09, 2008 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the Labor Strikes Reform Act |
| Message | No, I just don't want employers to abuse their workers if they go on strike. This is merely labor protection. |

| Message | I am talking in general. You want to protect the workers and crush the private companies, you try to nationalize all education, you want to regulate the entire economy, all of which are communist policies. Your definatly not a capitalist, but I am doubting your a centrist on economic policies too. If you add how you voted against loosening up the drug and alchohol laws you dont seem very liberal |

| Message | I am Liberal. If you look up the definition of Liberal, you will see that they prefer a free education system, a free healthcare system, and the protection of the people. I am a capitalist, just one that cares about the people and their protection against big businesses. |

| Message | And I also know liberals are usally the ones to support legalizing drugs, being liberal on alchohol laws, and anti death penalty etc. A liberal wants as much personal freedom as possible. Also your not a capitalist. You support a regulated economy, not a laissez faire economy, your a regulator, not capitalist |
| Date | 01:14:33, June 10, 2008 CET | From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the Labor Strikes Reform Act |
| Message | A capitalist regulator. Liberals who support ALL of that are the ones on the far left, I am not in the far left. I am a moderate Liberal or what they usually call us, normal people. Not all liberals want all of that. |

| Message | You can basically call me a Progressive but with more advanced Progressivism. |
| Date | 12:17:50, June 10, 2008 CET | From | Lodamun Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Labor Strikes Reform Act |
| Message | You cant be a capitalist and a regulator at the same time, those are the two opposing views of economics. Capitalism advocates that all companies should be private (by private meaning not owned by state). You have opposed that at several times, so you are not a capitalist, just a regulator |

| Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
