Party programme:

The State. The idea of an all-encompassing state is outdated. The "state" should focus on defence and policing, additionally providing other non-excludable, non-rivalrious services, such as public roads.

The Government. The government is a thought, that is, not a human. Some people just don't come together to form a government spontaneously, but they'll have to be infected with a "I'm a government worker" meme. As a government is not a person, it cannot be higher than any individual. However, as there are dangerous people, some form of government is needed.

Social issues. Everyone is higher than the other: some are very good in poverty, some are better than others in madness, some are better in wealth generation. The government, as a imagined thing, cannot protest this.

Military. All military shall exist only because some people wants people who can shoot things. They are necessary for keeping the foreign powers out. Also, the military machine shall be used only because someone wants to.

Religion. We believe that higher powers worship us, and we will build special temples where God, Satan, etc. are given the opportunity to enjoy from our presence.

Rule of the Majority. There is no majority. There are only great orators capable of persuading a large number of people. Rather, those individuals skilled in government should be allowed to execute their policy without intervention of the "majority". There shall be no polls, representative "democracy", etc. Rather, the most competent and trustable individuals should be selected much as professors are selected: by other collegues.

Taxation. A poll tax for the provided services is arranged. If someone fails to pay, the military can take care of this problem in the way they see fit.

Family. Families consist of people who only happen to be related. There is no need for the government to interfere in any way. The word "marriage" is not in the law.

Death Penalty. Sacrificing a life for a common good is pointless, because the latter does not exist. Rather, some people are better being criminals. Have you ever noticed how some people are just about made to be criminals and then jailbirds? The freedom of expression for this particular proficiency, especially the latter one, should be guaranteed.

Punishment. Some people want to take a risk such that they commit a crime and are excited about the thought of escaping judgement or getting caught. If the latter is what happens, free expression should be guaranteed for the punishment. Bring back the pillory!

Environment. A maximum capacity of indefinitely absorbing pollution shall be calculated for each biotope. This shall be set as a maximum. Violations shall be dealt with with an airstrike.

Abortion. See social issues; some are better in being not born.
