| Message | Opposing civil freedom by suppressing freedom of thought. We feel that the Unionists are no better than the communists which they so abominate. |

| Message | We will never support this Bill. The freedoms we possess are exactly how we shall defeat tyranny. |
| Date | 04:18:04, July 31, 2008 CET | From | Mordusian Austrian Union | To | Debating the Anti-Subversive Act |
| Message | and we become the tyrants we claim to oppose by voting for this bill. |
| Date | 06:30:48, July 31, 2008 CET | From | Patriciate Imperial League (UCF) | To | Debating the Anti-Subversive Act |
| Message | Once again we must condemn the Union Party for another attack against basic freedoms and rights. Communism may not be an ideology held by many of the political parties within Mordusia, but that does not give any of us the right to take away their liberties. Regardless, this legislation does not specify exactly that it is only communist meetings that will be dispersed, and this can be taken advantage of by police to take away liberties of other minority groups. |

| Message | We curently oppose. |
| Date | 17:24:03, July 31, 2008 CET | From | Union Party | To | Debating the Anti-Subversive Act |
| Message | We are saddened to see that the parties of Mordusia today talk a good talk against communism, yet, when push comes to shove, wear red beneath their clothes. |
