At least reformist communism makes sure that the people, the ones we are fighting for, are ready for communism. It doesn't take a nation to wage guerilla war, it takes a small band of determined fighters, righteous or not. Not every country is ready for communism, it must be implemented by democratic means, so the people truly have the say in how they are governed.

Eurgh God not this debate again.

1) You seem to think we want a coup, which is entirely different from a revolution.

2) Only through the act of revolution can the working class establish and strengthen the instruments of power needed for a socialist state

3) Reformism ignores the violent nature of capitalism and the fact that the bourgeoisie will do anything to hold onto their power.

4) Your socialism from above cannot ever work. You tell the working class to put a cross on a ballot every few years and assume that that means they are ready for socialism.

Ants are often used as a metaphor for mindless collectivism. In reality, the anthill is remarkable for exhibiting complex and organized collective behavior while lacking anything resembling true centralized command and control; the "queen" does nothing more than lay eggs. Instead, the direction of the colony is determined by the reactions to chemical signals left and read by each ant. In this way, the overall behavior of the colony is determined by the interactions of its individual members. As such, the anthill actually serves to demonstrate the concepts of emergent order and swarm intelligence, that is, the "invisible hand" of decentralized and self-organizing collective behavior that serves as one of the cornerstones of classical liberal theory and ideology. The complex excavation, construction, and order observed in the hobbyist's antfarm results when individuals are left alone to do what they do best.

A society that doesn't grow dies and we of the technocratic party realize that and as such promote growth and progress in our actions.

Blatant lie. We weigh societal good using a Rawlsian framework, which actually is one of the best logical arguments for equality. Your support of democracy means the many will always suppress the few, and minorities will suffer.

Here's a question I'd like to propose to the parties-

How does your party's ideology work to make your citizens better people?
Our party's ideology mostly focuses on the aspects of government that cause problems in society, however, we work to make citizens better people by rewarding virtues. We seek to create a very meritocratic system because merit determines one's ability to do the job and one's effectiveness. A better future requires better people and rewarding merit is the best way to get people to realize that they must improve themselves. The technocrats want a culture of continual improvement to pervade society and that is what will make the nation and ultimately the world a better place-- improvement makes things happen.

The Emphatically Silly Party is good for a laugh, but are they really the sort of people we want running our government?

Erm...

Money-poor, Marmite-rich economy?

I think that answers your question.

I'm going to kill the leader of the AACP!

Here's a question I'd like to propose to the parties-

How does your party's ideology work to make your citizens better people?Good question.

DSP will provide public education from Grade K to 12 tuition free. We will provide new funding towards hiring more teachers, smaller classroom sizes, and better ESL and special needs support. We will aim at lowering or freezing tuition fees and offer financial aids to make post-secondary education affordable for students.

DSP will also provide affordable healthcare, private doctors must work within the legal framework. Drugs will be subsidized to make it affordable for ordinary people.

Workers have rights and freedoms. Workers are guaranteed job security, benefits, safety, and a right to form labour unions.

For economy, we believe a free market economy will only benefit the corporate cronies, a full state controlled economy will drive away businesses and workers won't get a decent pay they deserve, even a university degree won't get them a decent pay they deserve. Both can't provide a "one size fits all" solution. That why we promote a progressive tax system, tax high enough to fund public services and low enough to allow companies to be competitive on the global market.

Any more questions, I'll leave it for Neu Leonstein.

I'm going to kill the leader of the AACP!

...why?

...why?
why not? Why wouldn't I kill the leader of the anarchist party?

Well presumbably you don't agree or you wouldn't be campaigning for the DSP. As far as your argument goes, if the economy is nationalized, who will they owe money to?Seriously, with a closed economy, how are going to feed and provide jobs to a growing population? Plus with the idea of the rota system and ambolishing the monetary system, you are making free post-secondary education pointless.

why not? Why wouldn't I kill the leader of the anarchist party?

because you're a nice person who wouldn't hurt a fly? (Okay, i know it's probably not true, but a girl can dream, right?)

Question for Ariddia: How many seats are up for grabs?

How does your party's ideology work to make your citizens better people?

Ah, that's a fundamental aspect. Our hope is to encourage intelligence, critical thinking, altruism, humanity and a sense of mutual responsibility within the community.

For this, it's necessary to ensure that no-one is marginalised by society. A capitalist society encourages selfishness, inhumanity, and teaches people that desire for useless profit is a "right" more sacred than anyone's right to decent living conditions. Capitalism runs contrary to essential human qualities. We aim to undo capitalist propaganda and encourage people to think for themselves rather than simply embrace mindless selfishness which is destructive to society, their fellow citizens and the environment.

If you look at our manifesto, you'll see we will encourage people to embrace solidarity and working together for the sake of the community. Our priorities are essential human priorities, priorities that will give citizens the means to become better people. We aim to get society's priorities right, so that a person's right to live, with decent health care, food, water, education, opportunities to fulfil their dreams and aspirations, and a roof over their head, will at last be considered more important than the so-called "right" to needless, senseless profit obtained through robbing workers of the fruit of their labour.

As mentioned earlier, education is central to our manifesto. Unlike other parties, which sometimes seem to believe maintaining people in ignorance and stunting the development of their potential is acceptable, we want to help each person's potential flourish. We aim to give everyone a full education, which will allow them to develop skills, a broad knowledge, a better and fuller understanding of the world around them, a less selfish perspective, and above all the ability to exercise critical judgment over what they are told and learn.

We believe that ignorance is slavery, and that selfishness is destructive both to society and to essential human qualities.

Vote for a real education!
Vote for a more human society!
Vote for a party with real policies for a fairer tomorrow!
Vote UDCP!

Question for Ariddia: How many seats are up for grabs?

Well, last time it was 25. Which meant a party needed 4% of the vote to gain a seat. There could be more seats if you all want, I suppose, as long as we're sure the parties would have enough members to fill them.

heh heh, want to start a debate on "women's right to choose" just to drive the conservatives crazy, Ariddia or some other UDCP members? :D

AACP allows all sorts of anarchism, without trying to enforce any of them over the rest, in any ways? Anarchosyndicalism just as well as anarchoindividualism?

If that's the case, then I know that it truly is my party.

A more efficient, effective, solution would be to unionize the foreign markets. Our policy on dissidents supports such measures, rather than outright bans. That's an example of how we technocrats can do everything the other parties do, better.

Hope he don't. I barely heard him and Pacalini since the start of this election.

I have a feeling he might start that one up again.

According to his website: http://www.nscp.us.tt/

He has over 100 supporters in 3 regions, I'm speculating he got puppets there. Not sure.

If he does and use it again in this election, he and his party could be in ethical trouble.

We don't oppress workers by taking away their right and benefits, but your "rota system" do. The rota system is like putting everybody in forced labour camps.

Work is "compulsory" in the same sense under capitalism, only the jobs no one wants to do are given to the poor instead of shared by everyone. It's a simple system, with an obvious justification - if you want society to contribute to your well-being, you have an equal share of the labor no one wants to perform.

Also replacing the monetary system with ration cards is like living in a refugee camp lifestyle.

No, since resources will not be scarce, merely distributed in a more equal fashion.

No one is "in" the rota system. When no one volunteers for a particular task, that task is shared - it is not reserved for anyone, and no one performs it any more than temporarily. You serve where you want for the rest of the period.

With the abolishment of the monetary system, I think it's pointless to go to college and university to earn a diploma or a degree. Because if you're an electrician, you get a ration card; or if you're a doctor, you get a ration card. No matter what level of college or university training you have, you've practically earned nothing but a damn card. And really, how do you expect to get a computer or a TV for free? Not in a ration card isn't it? But without the monetary system or the ration card, store shelves would be gone in seconds.

Some people enjoy education, and some people will enjoy skilled labor more than unskilled labor. Furthermore, those who do not pursue a college education won't simply be sitting and doing nothing; they will be working.

Not everyday is driven solely by profit. I'm hoping people choose to study in great part because they find it interesting, and they want to become a doctor, or some other high-skill job.

It reflects sadly on society that only profit seems to matter nowadays. The UDCP aims to offer a better society. One in which you will no longer have to worry about money, where you will no longer have to fear poverty, and where you will no longer be obsessed with accumulating senseless wealth. We wish to encourage people to pursue their own interests freely, without these constraints, and to rediscover that studying and working can be interesting and rewarding in itself. We will give everyone the power to choose what to do with their own lives.

(And WTF do you mean we can't stand for election becauise we don't have a "full manifesto". That's just plain stupid.)

It's been the rule since the start. You were informed of it several times.

I would gladly have acknowledged your party had it met the requirements. There's no ban on humorous parties. As you can see, the ESP, MOBRA and the NBIP all met the requirements, and were entitled to take part.

The main reason for the rule is to prevent truly frivolous parties which start up and never get off the ground. In the lead-up to the 2nd election, there were over half a dozen of them. They mostly faded away before the election even began. Creating a manifesto shows at least a basic level of commitment to your own party, and suggests you'll keep it alive for a while. Also, the mods explicitly asked for the creation of new parties to be kept within reason. Hence the rules, which aim to limit parties from springing up merely to vanish again.

What? Of course we funded said Ministry. It was part of our manifesto for the last election. And we shall continue to fund it in the forthcoming parliament! Silly walks for all! Especially Kanabia - shitting souls does some nasty things to your ass.

Will the allocation of seats be done in the same way as for the last parliament? One seat for every 4% of the vote?

An executive decision was taken by the executive of the ESP (me) when drawing up the current manifesto. We (I) felt it went without saying that we (I) would continue any and all promises we (I) made in our previous manifesto.

I pledge now that the ESP will pursue a policy of continuing funding for the Ministry of Silly Walks, and that this funding will be increased at least in line with the retail price index, if not more.

In a parliament in which the ESP holds any influence, there shall be attacks against any decision to fund so-called 'serious' ministries.

You read the OP in the thread for registering parties for this election, yes? Therefore you read this:


For those of you new to all this, you can find more information in these threads:

* the thread that started it all (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=418608) (contains information on starting your own party; please read it carefully, and especially this part (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=9041641&postcount=170)!)

I couldn't have put it more clearly than "please read it carefully". That first link took you to the OP of the original thread, where you were able to read, in crystal-clear words:


Everyone is free (within reason) to create/start as many parties as they want, but every party, in order to be considered a genuine and official NS political party, must have a manifesto, which must be, at the very least, ten full lines in length. When a party has been created, anyone who is interested in it may join it. So you can create parties, and join other people's parties at the same time; after all, a one-person party doesn't make much sense, and the whole point of a party is for there to be several people in it.

Once people start joining a party, a thread can be created for it, where its participants discuss amongst themselves to come up with a manifesto. A manifesto can be anything from a statement of principles and beliefs, to a set of policies the party would like to see implemented world-wide if it had the power. Once a party has a manifesto, it is recognised as an official party, and can start campaigning, and stand in the poll that will eventually take place.

A party doesn't have to be serious, as long as it has a manifesto; serious parties and humorous parties are equally welcome. If people feel particularly committed, they can even create a website, logo, etc. . . for their party, but that of course is optional.

And I'm not responsible for you not reading the OP, especially since the OP clearly directed you to the simple instructions you needed to follow.

Case closed.

Thank you, I've read it. I wanted to make sure you indeed had not got a full manifesto, as specified in the rules. You seem to be the only person who wasn't able to read those simple instructions properly.

I'm not going to waste any more time on this. Keep ranting if you want to; you're only making yourself look silly.

You've chosen to take a petty and vindicative approach to this, despite any fault in the matter lying squarely with you. On your head be the consequences. This matter is closed as far as I'm considered.

If you want to be discuss it in a civil manner, you can still let me know.

Technocratic Party
The party for efficiency
The party for progress
With enough robots anything can be done

Communists: The rota forces you into labor
Conservatives: Capitalism forces you into labor
DSP: Taxes force you into labor
ESP: Spiny Norman forces you into labor

VOTE TECHNOCRATIC

The Party that Aims to Make Labor UnnecessaryJesus christ man, not everybody is pregnant. :D jk

But really, where do people get their income? ;)

As far as I'm concerned, a pie in the face is very civil. You wouldn't want us to be uncivil in our civil disobediece, would you? That'd just be silly...

(Shock and horror! The NS General election must follow the rules set by ??? to a martinet extrime, else ... well, the same old same old, and you affect nothing.)

Might as well allow the Birthday Party. We have the required number of voters and a platform. Excluding someone who randomly wanted to participate in your silliness, and followed your rules as explained, simply makes you look sad and silly.

We aim to make labor unnecessary. This does not mean that we will immediately put it into effect, we obviously need to improve our technology, however, we heavily support policies that promote economic growth and technological improvement that will allow us to reach the stage of a robot based economy. As technology improves less and less labor will be needed to do certain jobs, our long term goal is to reach a point where labor is unnecessary. Eventually, technology will create most of our income as robots take over manufacturing and other labor intensive jobs. Of course, until we reach that point we have to use a pre-existing system, we favor regulated capitalism because we do not want too much bureacracy like might be made by a socialist system but we realize that capitalism has its weaknesses. We favor a mixed economy, and as such are a moderate party when it comes to economics.

"4. Unlike some Technocracies, we do not advocate the complete demise of the free market. We do however recognize the flaws in the market system and will intervene to correct them. If the market truly becomes untenable we will be willing to sacrifice it in favor of a more strictly planned system, but we will base such decisions on what benefits the market may be able to give."

you do realise i'm actually laughing at you over this :p :p

i think this act of pettyness can simply be overlooked and ignored as of here on.

Unless you're talking about more advanced technological development and engineering in NS that requires more people working on it, that's fine with me.

This time...

Supporting advanced technology development.

"Recognising that technology is of high value, the state will encourage technical businesses geared toward export, and will provide the appropriate education/training."

I think it would be better for your party if you decided to try again next election. You already have a manifesto, which you can build on if you need, and you have some members whom you can recruit next time. I think you would get more out of preparing for later rather than continuing to debate, which might continue to irritate some people who would have otherwise voted for you.

Only by violently uprising and gunning down anyone who disagrees with our radical minority views can we ensure a peaceful, utopian world!

Yeah, we'll need more technological development and engineering. There is a constant demand for people to do things and a technologically advanced society will allow even the members that have it worst to still have a better life than those in a less advanced society. Improvement needs a continual dedication to improvement and the need for improvement will be a driving force in our society. Look at every society and realize that it still has a lot more to do, mankind as a species has not reached its full potential.

A little contradicting, don't you think. You'd like Bush, he says the same kind of thing.
