| Message | Absolutely. Solidarity with our proletarian brothers and sisters. |
| Date | 16:56:42, October 11, 2005 CET | From | Democratic Socialists | To | Debating the DWC Act |
| Message | If the workers so choose, then they may currently set up these councils, the government does not intervene. We do not believe that the government should encourage this, or that they should be banned - it is a choice for the workers at the factories in question, not for central government. We oppose. |

| Message | Agreed with the New Dems again. I also fail to see how a DWC is different from a normal corporation. Presumably, workers would get the share of the profits equal to their stake/shares in the company which is how normal capitalist organisation works. Its just corporate welfare dressed up in socialism. I can also foresee non-DWC corporations abusing this to their own ends. |

| Message | We are dead against, the workers must not control business, it must be left to the state and only the state. |
