Bill: further nationalization
Details
Submitted by[?]: Libertarian party of Darnussia
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: March 2077
Description[?]:
| all same reasons... too long to bother... allright i'll give it a try (for a short explenation). Now the bourgeouisie (the owners of the factories) receive a lot of money without actually working while the workers work and receive almost nothing, with nationalization the worker would receive a loan and the profit would go to the government who can spend it on many social services such as free healthcare and education. So with nationalization you create a more just Darnussia and we would have a workers-state where the workers have control. (before you ask the manager is elected by the workers). |

| Message | well to explain how this is still neccesery even when controlled capitalism is possible will take a little longer though :P. But it ends up in the bosses trying to defy the law all the time and find holes so they can still exploit the workers, therefore i am pro-workers control! Workers of all countries, UNITE! |

| Message | the argument that it failed in history will take EVEN longer but it had nothing to do with the economic system but more with the other conditions, since these conditions dont exist in Darnussia a socialist economy is very possible! |

| Message | If we are working for a "profit for the state" and we don't have competion, standards will drop like a lead balloon, since we will end up cutting corners to come up with the profit to pay for all the wonderful things like free healthcare and education and other things in our welfare system. |

| Message | "with nationalization the worker would receive a loan and the profit would go to the government who can spend it on many social services such as free healthcare and education." and when I am thinking about it, what are you on about workers recieving a loan? I always thought a loan was something you had to pay back with interest. Would it not be better if they had a share? So all the workers are shareholders? Although that of course poses it's own problems |

| Message | SDP: standards would rise incredibly for the workers maybe not for the elite (looking at examples of the past). Well loan is the futch word :P uhm... english... uhm... payement? ohw well you know what i mean! And yes all the workers are shareholders if you want to look at it like that! The management of the company is done by elected officials so thats really no problem! PP: economic stagnation?? you did not even have a basis when saying at least say economic stagnation beceause.... now i can't answer it at all all i can say is look at the examples of the past! |

Our problem is that numbers of people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience. . Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running the country. That's our problem." - Howard Zinn |
