| Message | It's funny how people who say that the state shouldn't intervene in the economy are always willing to let the police smash workers heads in when there's a strike. The workers do the work that creates societies wealth - therefore they should control that wealth, this is a small step in that direction. |

| Message | In an ideal world, every business would have some form of DWC, but we're unsure if it's required that we force it. Can we hear some last minute arguements for and against, please? |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
