| Message | Socialism is based on workers democracy or it is a lie. The SAP wishes to make clear it supports the current revolutionary moves to expropriate the means of production and abolish capitalism, however with the absence of basic trade union freedoms and the means of production being controlled by the working class itself we will end up not with socialism but with a bureucratic parody of socialism. The Social Anarchist Platform will use all methods possibele to ensure this does not happen. |

| Message | Well this is an interesting look on the issue. But you see, if you look at the current situation the government does NOT intervene in the marketplace with regards to Democratic Workers' Councils, which means they are free to choose if they are run by the Democratic Workers' Councils or not. Looks like democracy to me. Next, the workers HAVE the right to strike, but think about it for a moment, how would you like if your house burned down while the firefighters were on strike, or how would you like if your wife (or girlfriend/boyfriend, friend, or any close relative) got killed while the police were on strike, I believe you would just loooooove democracy after that, now wouldn't you? |

| Message | So a worker that is more important to society has less rights, I have to say it's a beautifully back to frint worls we live in. |
