Political parties in Taijitu

[Solnath]

Alright, everyone. I posted this in the Senate Chambers, but as it concerns the whole Taijituan political system, I'd like opinions from those not in the Senate. Because of the rather strict "don't post without explicit permission, grr"-rule, non-Senators would be really nice if they posted comments and questions in this thread to avoid rousing the anger of the Dreaded Speaker.

Erm, there's no such rule.

[Solnath]

Officially no, true.

[Zimmerwald]

It's still good to have a discussion going in more than one place.  It helps keep things nice an cluttered.

How's the organizing of The Party going?

[Myroria]

The Libertarian Party of Taijitu!

[Zimmerwald]

Still debating with myself over whether to call it the Taijitan Communist Party or not...

I like the name, I'm not sure other prospective members will.

Incidentally, will parties get their own boards on the Taijitu forums?

[Delfos]

i advise a more general name, left wingish, Left Block Party, just Left Party, Union Party......

[Zimmerwald]

NO!  TCP is just too good an acronym.  TSP (Taijitan Socialist Party) and TLP (Taijitan Left Party) just don't sound as good.

[Delfos]

CPT Communist Party of Taijitu...or CSPT (Communo-Socialist Party of Taijitu)

[Myroria]

See what communists do? They can't even decide what their party's name should be because they're a bureaucratic morass.

Tired of being harassed by annoying leftist hippies? Do you think people shouldn't be forced to protect the environment, should be able to do whatever they want as long as it doesn't hurt other and doesn't make others not able to do the same thing? And do you *gasp* think people should be able to own guns?

Liberals consider you uncompassionate environment killers. Fellow party members consider you a friend.

Join the Taijitu Libertarian Party today!

Why that advertisement fails:

Tired of being harassed by annoying leftist hippies

There is no hippy party in Taijitu.  Furthermore, hippies are a branch of primitivism and are opposed by socialists, who are modernizers.

Do you think people shouldn't be forced to protect the environment, should be able to do whatever they want as long as it doesn't hurt other and doesn't make others not able to do the same thing

Where is the environment of the internet?

And do you *gasp* think people should be able to own guns

Big guns exist on the internet?  Where?

There's probably more that I could critique, but I'm laughing too much.

1. I'm not responding to the communist party, or whatever you choose to be called once your bureaucracy stops arguing.

2 and 3. A political party is a group of people with similar ideologies. There's also no economy or opportunity to implement communism on the Internet, but I'm not knocking you for that. If every ideology had to be related to the internet, none would exist because the Internet is not a planet with issues to worry about.

[Delfos]

TCP ftw

[Zimmerwald]

1. still, there is no hippie organization in Taijitu.  You must be responding to somebody.

2, 3. Wrong.  Every ideology can be applied to the internet, if one ignores the issues it faces in real life and adopts its basic principles to the problems it encounters on the Internet.  Communism, for example, is concerned primarily with collective ownership and democratic management of the means of production.  Applying that to Taijitu, and you see demands for ever more democratic government, Senate, rather than Ministerial control over the Bank, a voluntary Tai-sharing scheme, and probably more that I could come up with if I thought it through properly.

I'll leave the definition of Libertarian Party's issues to an actual member.

[Khablan]

What??  No hippy party in Taijitu??  I gasp!  *gasp*
