| Date | 04:00:39, April 12, 2016 CET | From | Socialist Equality Party | To | Debating the Socialistic Reform |
| Message | From my point of view, it is not given in a golden platter. Their hardwork and economic contribution to the country is enough to give them public and quality social services. Besides, it is a human right, so it should be given regardless of the contribution they are making. |

| Message | Yes and capitalism empowers the poor so they can work to achieve it too. It is motivation. Participation isn't worth anything. Results matter this is the PC culture of the participation trophy generation where everyone wins. College isn't a right nor is public education sucks the private one is subsidized anyways |
