| Message | This power ceded to the army can only lead to one thing: military state and authoritarian republic. Egelion left these dark times ... do not come back |
| Date | 20:13:23, November 02, 2017 CET | From | Partido Libertario de Egelion | To | Debating the Military Reform, October 4296 |

| Message | The problem of privatizing citizens' services is that you do not control them, and the owner can do whatever they want (in the case of security forces, coups and military rebellions) |
| Date | 02:11:07, November 03, 2017 CET | From | Partido Libertario de Egelion | To | Debating the Military Reform, October 4296 |
| Message | That's why we need citizens to be able to defend themselves and organize in local militias, as well as a strong army, in order to protect themselves. It is all a system of checks and balances, but we would not expect communists to understand that concept. |
