| Message | We think this goes a little too far. Yes, DWCs are a good idea, but if there's nothing for them to compete against, they can rapidly become just as corrupt as a traditional top-down corporation. This also eliminates all single-person businesses, because those by definition CAN'T be run by a DWC. |

| Message | This is not something we can support - we do not think that the government should have any policy towards Democratic Workers Councils - leave that to the people and to the market. If they want them then they will form them. We shouldn't make them for them and require businesses to be run by them |

| Message | Sorry, that last sentence should read, 'We shouldn't make them FORM them and require businesses to be run by them |

| Message | We will support the concept, although we think the system works fine as it stands now. We will oppose any reversion to the old system, of course. |
