| Message | Please explain how in the world you can consider something that is COMPULSORY to be freedom? How am I not oppressed when you force me to use what you think is best for ME a free individual? Why not simply live your own life and let others do the same? The only one who knows what is best for you is yourself not some Divine "liberated" government which forces people to bend to their will. I still can't see how you can say you are opposed to Monopolies but what the state to run EVERYTHING as a monopoly. Please explain this logical inconsistency in greater detail. What is the justification? If some idiot who is part of a party oppresses people then it's suddenly totally different from a wealthy person doing it? Again, I am 100% opposed to ANY monopoly. Instead we need many competing companies so every individual is free and liberated to buy whatever they please and do to as they choose with their own bodies. THIS is undeniably what freedom is all about and what liberation is all about. |

| Message | Again,we see the internationalist influences on the weak KLM cloud their judgement.The state monopoly is run in the best interests if the proletariat,not the best interests if profit.But,if the KLM must know,a state monopoly is only the first phase of the revolution.Phase two will hand power over to the workers in the form if democratic workers councils. |
