| Message | A competitive market is one that offers the people and the government the best opportunities. We cannot have that with the proposed ammendments. |
| Date | 08:01:35, July 10, 2008 CET | From | Parti National-Socialiste TK | To | Debating the Economie |
| Message | We reject this Adam Smith nonsense that Le Partu de la Patrie suggests. However, we feel that the current law in Article 1 is fine and Article 3 is too extreme. It is funny that your party does not admit to be Communist even after these proposals. Just call a spade a spade. I am afraid that our party cannot support this bill under its current conditions. |

| Message | There is nothing wrong with communism, though we reiterate the fact that we do not subscribe to the beliefs therein. If the state controls the industry, does that not provide the Workers with the best possible benefit? So long as the state is for the workers. |
| Date | 02:09:23, July 11, 2008 CET | From | Parti Libertaire | To | Debating the Economie |
| Message | There's everything wrong with Communism. People manage themselves better than a power-hungry group of unelected officials. |
| Date | 02:10:20, July 11, 2008 CET | From | Parti National-Socialiste TK | To | Debating the Economie |
| Message | Wishing to ban religion, placing complete state control on everything does not make you a commie? You quack like a duck, look like a duck but claim you're a fish. We do wish to have state control over industry, but not an iron grip! We shall obstain until the bill meets our approval. |

| Random fact: When it comes to creating a Cultural Protocol in a Culturally Open nation, players are not necessarily required to provide a plausible backstory for how the nation's cultural background developed. However, the provision of a plausible backstory may be a factor in whether Moderation approves the Cultural Protocol if players in surrounding nations question its appropriateness for their region of the game map. |
