| Message | We would prefer moderate aid until such time as we can control our own spending, but we haven't said no to high levels of aid. |
| Date | 11:06:18, June 08, 2005 CET | From | Free Reform Coalition (FRP) | To | Debating the International Solidarity Act |
| Message | we have no problems with giving aid, but considering all our money is being spent on us right now, we may have to divert funds from projects such as collectivisation or some other ridiculosity. |
| Date | 11:47:35, June 08, 2005 CET | From | LibCom Party | To | Debating the International Solidarity Act |
| Message | The FRP's suggestion that we may have to divert funds from collectivisation is ludicrous, since collectivisation is in fact saving us money by ensuring a reliable supply of high-quality food and hence keeping our poulation healthy, as well as producing surpluses that we can either trade or contribute as aid. |

| Message | sort of like the surplusses that lenin traded after he collectivised Russia right? |
| Date | 23:46:31, June 08, 2005 CET | From | LibCom Party | To | Debating the International Solidarity Act |
| Message | What is this 'Russia' of which you speak? Perhaps their collectivisation was carried out in a different way than ours. With, say, centralised government control, production quotas, and other such counterproductive measures? |
| Date | 04:36:38, June 12, 2005 CET | From | Social Republican Party | To | Debating the International Solidarity Act |
| Message | Yes, but then, lets readjust this to moderate levels. |
