| Message | The social anarchist party only have to say this: if we were able to vote right now, we would decline every liberal proposal. With this new laws we are going to open frontiers to the capitalism in a truly savage way, not regarding our people, our beliefs, our life standards. Now we are completely dependent from private companies, who have the complete freedom to regulate everything. If so, why have we a government and parties?They are not able to do anything. Let's wait...this will change sometime. Sincerely Samuel Mcmahon |
