Bill: Revolutionary Defense Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Union Gauchiste
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: October 4141
Description[?]:
| As a bastion of the revolution, the nation should have a means of defending itself against any enemies of the revolution. As such, it is necessary to allow the government to produce and store weaponry for defensive purposes only. I urge you to pass this proposal, for the sake of all of the progress we have made; do not let the revolution fail due to the fact we cannot defend ourselves against the imperialist powers who seek our destruction. |

| Message | We will, of course oppose, and we are unsure how nuclear, biological or chemical weaponry does anything but invites meaningless destruction. NBC kills as many of ours as it kills of our enemies, and the horror of the wanton destruction it too incomprehensible to imagine. We oppose all warmongers and will oppose thee if this bill is put forward. |
| Date | 03:05:56, December 23, 2016 CET | From | Union Gauchiste | To | Debating the Revolutionary Defense Bill |
| Message | This bill simply proposes a deterrence factor against our many enemies who posses access to such weaponry, very specific clauses will be put into effect to ensure our government can only use these in self defense. If we have no defense measures against imperialists who posses the power to destroy an entire city, perhaps even the capital, then we are as good as defenseless. |

| Message | My comrades, look at how many nations have unrestricted access to nuclear arms; meaning they can attack us on a whim! Are you seriously telling our citizens that you do not advocate for their protection? Does our revolution mean nothing to you? As a fellow leftist party, I can honestly say I'm surprised by this behavior. Once again I stress that this bill is purely defensive! Please consider the wellbeing of both our citizens and our principles when you decide how to vote on this bill. |

| Message | Have either of your opinions changed? If not, why? Perhaps we could compromise. |
| Date | 04:05:20, December 26, 2016 CET | From | Parti des Frères Lourenne | To | Debating the Revolutionary Defense Bill |
| Message | We are not interested in how many nations have access to those weapons. They are wrong for doing so. Why would we join the nations who are doing things incorrectly? |
| Date | 04:06:27, December 26, 2016 CET | From | Parti des Frères Lourenne | To | Debating the Revolutionary Defense Bill |
| Message | Acquisition of these weapons is not defensive at all. It is only provocative. Like, we are provoking our neighbors by adopting Nuclear, biological and chemical weapons, and this is not something we should be doing at all. |
