Message | Wow, just...wow. Seriously, there a number of things wrong with this description 1. We voted against the Social Democratic Labor Party's actually communist (or more socialist, if you want to be nitpicky with terms) bill. 2. Communism means the people owning all the means of production. We seen nothing about doing that in these proposals, do you? 3. You lost the first time, and we don't think you're going to get a victory this time |

Message | Really, the only thing that could be said is that the salary cap proposal is kind of syndicalist. The stock exchange thing is more just social democratic (and a way to keep businesses from running Aloria) |
Date | 01:22:14, December 11, 2011 CET | From | Independence Party | To | Debating the Economic Reform |
Message | The salary cap is an attempt to make all people more equal in terms of earnings (communist philosophy) and the regulation of the stock exchange is unnecessary government intervention in the economy (state economy=communist) |
