| Message | LBSC, it is interesting that you want to involve Darnussia in a restrictive treaty when you have always claimed to be against treaties which restrict Darnussia's power. You have said many times something along the lines of 'Darnussia should withdraw from this treaty/not ratify this treaty because it restricts our nations power and gives control over our government to other nations'. Voting for this bill is utter hypocrisy. |

| Message | This doesn't restrict Darnussian power. It enhances our power and assures it. See, with capitalism, our surplus has been growing and growing, and we've been using that money to advance our economy as a result. What I'm restricting is irrational socialism trying to tear that all down and ruining our economy. |

| Message | No, this treaty does not enhance and assure Darnussian power. It restricts our ability to have control over our internal economic affairs. Your surplus may be growing, but it is the rich that benefit and not the majority of poor Darnussians. Look at the gap in wealth and income you have caused! Look at the infant mortality rate that has increased with your capitalist policies! Look at the rural areas and the city slums, which your policies have neglected! Look at the high rate of injuries and deaths in the mills and mines! Capitalism is irrational, not socialism. Is it irrational to provide essential goods and services to all Darnussians? Is it irrational to care for the less fortunate? Is it irrational for a nation to care for its citizens? Your capitalism is drenched in the blood of the Darnussian working class and your crimes against our nation's people will never be forgotten. |
