| Date | 01:50:44, January 01, 2014 CET | From | Kundrati Liberty Movement (KLM) | To | Debating the Communist Party of Kundrati Manifesto 3599 |
| Message | What is the Far Left obsession with dismantling freedom of association and the right to free speech? How can it be justified to force someone to be part of a union (Article 6)? And even worse, how can we justify the destruction of fundamental civil liberties on groups simply because we may not like their message (Article 8)? These are fundamental civil liberties that you propose to crush. Please explain your party's position on these stances. Who is harmed if people are free to express themselves? |
