| Message | Capitalism is the reason so many Darnussians are poor and to deny this is truly reactionary. Under capitalism, there will always be people living in poverty. |

| Message | I'd rather drink from the same filthy mug as you and watch as we both wallow in hellish squalor, than observe quietly as you gleefully scale society's ladders of comfort. A poor man is but so for he perceives himself in this manner, owing to what he judges as rich and prosperous. True equality can only be established if we dare to give power to the people, instead of allowing the pompous few to harvest it relentlessly. I think we should be thinking towards a move that will satisfy the masses, not supplementing a selcect few. Wholehearted concurrence would suffice here my friends so do not be governed by introversion. |
