| Message | Representatives, The cooperative movement in this country has a long tradition, at times democratic management has been required by law. As you know, that is a policy backed by the DSPR. But we do not seek to realise that aim today. Today we seek only to end the ban on democratic management. This ban was recently introduced by a fading Whig administration afraid of the growing influence of the workers' councils. We hope that reasonable members can see that this ban has no possible justification. The Whigs make a great deal of their commitment to the 'free market'. But if you or I wanted to set up a company tomorrow, using a model of cooperative rather than private ownership, that would not be allowed! This is the Whigs acting purely in their class interest. The ban must go. |

| Random quote: "A democracy that does not allow limits is not a democracy. Just as a limitless freedom is not freedom, but prevarication. Indeed, any theory of freedom worthy of this name is first of all a limit theory. If we extend the unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not willing to defend a tolerant society against the attacks of the intolerants, then the tolerants will be destroyed and the tolerance with them! Because, I ask to myself and ask you, given a certain system that we call democratic, which is today the best possible system to allow everyone to live freely and to be able to express their own thoughts, how can the same system admit attacks against its integrity? How can a system refuse the principle of the self-preservation? For this reason, to suppress the apologetics of thalerrism, it's for this reason that the exaltation of exegetes, principles, facts or methods of Thallerism and its anti-democratic aims does not constitute a violation of the freedom of manifestation of thought, but, on the contrary, the celebration of that freedom. The protection of the first premise on which a modern democratic system is based. And this premise must be safeguarded also and above all against itself and its abuses." ~ Malik Astori, Leadership of Liberty and Progress (Istalia) |
