What do the rest of you think? I need an option that advances the power of the socialist movement, whilst not befouling any civil laws or satisfying fascist factions demands.
The Issue
After a series of bloody wars between the nations of Maxtopia and North Bigtopia, fights have broken out in the streets between immigrants in Khanastan who came from the warring nations.
The Debate
1. "Foreigners are a major cause of civil disturbances," begins Elizabeth Christmas, whose opinions form the book '101 Arguments FOR Slavery'. "What we should do is make all immigrants, foreigners, and non-native Khanastan folks slaves! I mean, who in Khanastan wouldn't like a minority slave group to do his bidding? Imagine! People could be bought and sold over the Internet!"
2. "I am shocked and appalled at what my colleague is suggesting!" exclaims Sarah Tan, President of the Civil Rights Union of Khanastan. "Slavery? We should punish these offenders, yes, but send them to rehabilitation centres instead! As for the ethnic squabbles, programs in school should begin to stop these racist attitudes in childhood! All it will take is some slight fortification to the education budget!"
3. A quiet old man stands up to speak. "Now, I may be a quiet old man, but I believe that these ethnic disputes are none of the government's business. It's not our war anyway, so it's not our problem. I'm sure if you leave it alone, it'll work itself out. Just think of the money that would be saved if the police don't have to be paid to deal with this!"
4. "It's not our war? It's not our war?" cries (in)famous Khanastan-born fascist Buffy Jones. "Well maybe it's time it became our war! Khanastan should take a more active, and by 'active' I mean 'hostile', role in international politics! This ethnic squabbling will be over when the war is over, and WE can end that war and purge the impure! Ashes of the old, make fertile soils for the new.! Sieg Khanastan!"
