| Message | Again: we can hardly see why this is Communism: there would be no employers at all anymore. We think this argument is the only serious the FRP wishes to put forward, and we regret that a serious discussion with this party appears not to be possible. We our democrats, we want to put forward our opinion, discuss about it, and in the end, after eventually looking for compromises, we vote and majority decides. If anyone doesn't agree, no one forces them too, they just can vote "no"... Why can't the FRP do like that? They prefer insults over discussions? Aren't they the democrats they pretend to be? |

| Message | We believe that private businesses should have the power to choose whether or not to form DWCs without facing any disadvantages. It is not the Government's place to intervene on this issue. |

| Message | No employers is the next step to eliminating private property. The LSP has obviously not understood that employees sell their services. This service has a special price (called wage). Employers are simply those who buy the service of the employee and thus that service becomes his property, for a certain given time, as accepted by both parties (employer and employee). The elimination of emploers simply is the elimination of the right to buy the service of employees, thus the elimination of the right to own that service for a certain given time, thus one more step in the elimination of the right to private property. Even to the more liberal parties, it must be abundantly clear that the LSP is a pyrt of tyranny, whose sole interest is the elimination of our rights and the instauration of a proletariat dictatorship. |

| Message | What the PIL said. If businesses were run by DWCs, then businesses would never be STARTED, as there would be no entrepeneurs to take upon the financial risks of starting a business, as there'd be no profit motive. |
