| Message | When everything is nationalised there is no competition, when there is no competition people get lazy, when people get lazy you get bad poorly made products. In short you get a stagnant market. |
| Date | 11:51:41, August 08, 2009 CET | From | Neo-Democratic Union | To | Debating the Stronger Darnussia Economic Plan |
| Message | If there is no free market and no competition, it doesn't matter wether the government provides products of a good or a poor quality. And because it is so much easier to provide products of a poor quality, eventually the people will suffer enormously and the economy will collapse. This is not just me talking, it is proven by every single communistic nation in history. |
| Date | 14:55:33, August 08, 2009 CET | From | Heimdall Global Security - Darnussia HQ | To | Debating the Stronger Darnussia Economic Plan |
| Message | "Free Market destroy low-income family while allowing a group of elites like politicians, CEO,and businessman to continue increasing their wealth. We will ensure that peoples have the right motivation with our use of officers from the Department of Internal Security and from teaching the people with the great understanding of socialism." Dmitry Varennikov Minister of Internal Affairs |

| Message | Very nice quote, but it does not undo the fact that the Russian, Chinese, Korean ... economy is terrible. Those are all communistic nations. While the E.U., the U.S.A., all capitalistic nation, have an excellent economy (well, not now, but mostly they do) and the avarage family is richer than ever in history. In Russia almost everyone is poor, except for the elite, weird, they're communist. So I repeat: very nice quote, but it doesn't make any sence. |

| Message | OOC: i'm not sure if you're new here or not, but keep in mind that this is Particracy. There is no such things as US , Russia, Korea here. We call our world Terra. The quotes is from current Minister of Internal Affairs. and for your information, Russia is not a communist (Soviet is, but there is a huge different), Korea split between south and north (I assume you said NK so I will give you a little info, NK is stupid for closing their country, I didn't.) China.... LOL China had bad economy? As for capitalist, USA? Hamburger crisis anyone? IC: "We don't understand the words from your mouth either, Mr. Speaker. Perhaps you needs hospital first?"
