| Message | Democratic Workers Councils liberate workers by giving them self governance,so they should exist if you truly believe in liberty and not just bourgeoise freedom. |
| Date | 22:58:11, February 27, 2014 CET | From | Kundrati Liberty Movement (KLM) | To | Debating the Kundrati Liberation Act |
| Message | The KLM agrees with this 100%. We do not endorse abandoning any democratic workers councils. We wish to maintain the ones that are successful. Thus we choose to not be involved in them one way or another. If some industries are democratically run by workers this is fine they simply do not receive any state funding. Which is fair since other private entities also will not receive any money. Thus we are allowing them to exist freely. |
