| Date | 18:29:42, April 26, 2018 CET | From | Unsubmissive Beluzian Workers Party | To | Debating the Socialistic Reformism Act |
| Message | A socialist revolution socially can only happen if there is a struggle against habitual male dominance and patriarchy, which goes hand in hand with any struggle against capitalism. A struggle against women's rights is not a struggle against capitalism, instead it is a struggle against those that have been oppressed. Making abortion illegal is not equality or a socialist ideal. It takes away the right of a woman to choose and hinders on gender equality. |
