| Message | No. |
| Date | 19:59:11, May 06, 2012 CET | From | National Liberal Party | To | Debating the Community economic standards |
| Message | Although we support that more power must be given to the local councils and that Communism, or what we think that is true Communism, is the best economical system, we shall not accept this. Our Economical theory is to have a Socialist-Communist main economy, but also to allow limited free market. Capitalism is good when it is limited and the Communist system is the main economical system. If the free market is wiped out, then the economy will die. And if Communism-Socialism is not the main economic system, then the economy will die. We need a balance of those two economic systems to create a economy that will be respected in the international markets. |
