| Message | The FMCP still supports the provisions of the ARWEA. We will not bow to such insanity as this bill. |
| Date | 22:52:51, April 13, 2009 CET | From | League of Dyspeptic Veterans | To | Debating the Reinstatement of Democratic Workers' Councils |
| Message | This seems unnecessarily restrictive. The League sees no reason why a business should be forced to alter its management so radically; if its workers are dissatisfied, they can unionize. |
| Date | 00:19:13, April 14, 2009 CET | From | Federalist Minarcho-Capitalist Party | To | Debating the Reinstatement of Democratic Workers' Councils |
| Message | The FMCP is happy to see that this bill will fail. |
| Date | 00:24:06, April 14, 2009 CET | From | Roccato Anarcho-Syndicalist Union | To | Debating the Reinstatement of Democratic Workers' Councils |
| Message | This is not about the ability of the workers to unionize; this is about putting the management of business under the control of the workers. |

| Random quote: "Civil disobedience. . . is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that numbers of people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience. . Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running the country. That's our problem." - Howard Zinn |
