| Message | The peoples choices run the government. We can accomplish more with one strong government, dividing up the power seems like a step back. |

| Message | And the "strong government" knows better than the very people who work the land? Nay! Let us remember why the revolution was fought -- to empower the proletariat, not to erect a new dictatorship over them. If communism is to be truly implemented, we must return the choices to the people assembled. |

| Message | First off, you're arguing about implementing Communism to two non-communist paties. Secondly, I believe that the government does know what is better. The people, after all, chose them. |

| Message | I could understand some of these if our country was huge but it is not so it is just as easy for the national gov. to organise and run these services as it is at a local level. With the national gov. doing this the quality will the uniform through out ikradon. |
