| Date | 01:21:22, June 23, 2005 CET | From | Neo-Marxist revolutionary Party | To | Debating the Guaranteed Education Act |
| Message | I'm not Marxist actually I'm Neo-Marxist a different thing. That is we have altered Marx's original ideas and updated them to modern society. As such we are revolutionary even in the simplest terms. However, we are moderate revolutionaries and have branched away from the left-idealists and have entered in to the territory of realism. That is, in this case, we recognise that it is impractical for the countrys economy to have higher education fully subsidised. Certainly we agree with the proposal, however we are realists, not idealists. |
