| Message | The CP finds it ironic that the ECB states the government's role is not to play "Mommy and Daddy" but their policies and votes on every other issue aside from narcotics is big government and a nanny-state. |

| Message | The creation of a Welfare state in no way pokes into the peoples lives and tells them what to do. Providing equal footing for every citizen is different then allowing every citizen to live how they wish to live. The assumption that the average citizen cares more about their own personal accumulation of paper tickets we all pretend to be worth something then they do their own personal liberties and freedoms is why your logic fails. |

| Random quote: As for rape, of course, that is a direct consequence of the capitalist system of oppression. Capitalism relies on fuelling division and resentment to sustain itself, and so it sets men against women, race against race and so on. Men rape women because they are being oppressed by capitalism, so they take it out on women. Under Communism, there will be no rape, because there will be a full and natural harmony and equality between the genders. ~ Friedrich Pfeiffer General Secretary of the Dorvish Communist Party |
