| Message | The Red Puma Party judge your bill " RAF Offensive XIV " discriminatory and against the women, the immigrate and the DWC. So your bill is against the people. It is not the solution for stop the RAF. We must discuss with them. All power to the people. |

| Message | (More supposed to be role playing device representing offensive then bill. But I get what you mean.) An SPG Commander interviewed on a pro-Militarist radio show from his prison cell: "There's a lot of new folk coming around, calling us all kinds of things. LSP calls us "anti-worker". Some punkass prisoner with a fringe party tells me the other day, "The Militarist Party descriminates against women." See, these people don't even understand their own goals. The Libertarian Socialist Party, for example. They pretend to be pro worker, but don't seem to understand a thing about how to further the status of the working class. You cannot help the worker by destroying the state which he has built, and by destroying the instituitions and programs put up to help and protect him. All the LSP does it give money back to the bourgeois oppressors. So what if they're "Pro-Labour union"? The workers know, and you can ask anybody out there in the factories, that you can't help them by destroying the state which they've worked for. And further, even where labour unions effective, they become impotent in times such as these, with rampant unemployment. People are desperate for work! If someone goes on strike, the Bougeois owners have no trouble filling the posistion. LSP doesn't seem to understand simple economics or political theory. Libertarianism is incompatible with socialism in any case. In fact, I think it's rather evident that the Libertarian Socialist Party is the same as the Liberal Party, that being, slaves to the ruling classes interests. As for descrimination, hell yeah we descriminate! Men and women are simply not the same, just as the sea and land are not the same. One is not worth less then the other, but that doesn't mean they're not at all different from each other. Any fool can see that. To pretend that they are not is rediculous and delusional. I think it's high time that the RAF launch another offensive. Only the Militarists can lead this country back to prosperity and undo the harm done to it by the working class interests. We've fought them off before, and we'll do it again." |

| Random quote: "Colonialism or imperialism, as the slave system of the West is called, is not something that is just confined to England or France or the United States. The interests in this country are in cahoots with the interests in France and the interests in Britain. It's one huge complex or combine, and it creates what's known not as the American power structure or the French power structure, but an international power structure. This international power structure is used to suppress the masses of dark-skinned people all over the world and exploit them of their natural resources." Malcolm X |
