| Date | 21:40:04, January 11, 2007 CET | From | Front de Libèration du Kanjor | To | Debating the National Capitalism Act |
| Message | I oppose 10 and 11 as they can lead to Marxism, the NCTP hink Individualism is selfish and the State if always first. So trade Unions should never exist. |
| Date | 22:02:10, January 11, 2007 CET | From | Front de Libèration du Kanjor | To | Debating the National Capitalism Act |
| Message | For Article 6, the NCTP feels that the Government should not intervene in other companies but that the State should own some important parts of industry. In order to enter the "Third Way" one must not let all private corporations own all industry. "Certain industries are owned by the state, all others are under private ownership" That way it isnt Communism or Complete Capitalism. |

| Date | 23:35:41, January 12, 2007 CET | From | Socio-Captialist Party | To | Debating the National Capitalism Act |
| Message | Article 1 cripples advertising freedom, Article 2 is unethical for obvious reasons, and Article 3 can possibly be a security risk for this nation. Otherwise, it is a flawless bill. |
