| Message | It only would make some sense letting the State manage the major industrie, if the same state had a good social security, and a minimal life support pension, otherwise, the obstruction of free market will object to the idea of someone be free enough to step foward in life by his own. We need a free market, we need the capitalization of the industries, we need to advance, we need to take some responsability from the state so he can manage other major subjects. Like everything the solution is to mark some rules to tap some gaps, like the ones mentioned by the Peoples Revolutionary Party. |
