Does AWP have a Socialist (or comparable) party to join? Maybe a Soviet Workers Party, or a Red Party, or... :unsure: |

DCAPCOMR (or DRP) welcomes all political ideologies and has COM in its old name!!! Tseluyu, if you can define socialism for us in game terms, or tell us your views in game maybe we can point you in the right direction. AWP parties have no reflection really on RL. |

How do I start a party on here? And I figured it has nothing to do with RL ideas - I'm not a Socialist IRL. Lol. I just want to make a party much like a modern day Leninist Red Party would be...well, Leninist/Marxist. EDIT: The goal of which would be to undermine the capitalist ways of you heathens! MWAHahaha... Side note: I'm going to need it to be password protected. |

Well, you need to request your party, then if you get 3 members, it becomes official. (If the admins aren't lazy; see the ACP) |

political parties are families of different maybe overlapping groups who come to about the same conclusions from about the same values, but don't necessarily manage to convalesce around certain even majority supported policies, due to awareness of minority groups. With nationalising banks you have to know what you will do with them you couldn't do with tax and spend. Sometimes the interests of the nation and consumers can be reached without nationalisation, after all macro policy is about assisting/directing the micro. But on the otherhand you have to remember that banks represent the wealth owners rather than the people, and since they effectively control the flow of factor and transfer payments around the system, they need oversight. and the influence to nudge directions. We have NS&I, our uk government owned financial service. Its all very way taking the whole and labelling who should control it, but you need to think about development and growing the value and efficiency of a given quantity of economic activity. And Semantics are essential, if it actually matters what your referring to |

Labour is the only party since Thatcher to have a female (temporary) leader. And yeah, supply side reforms like actually making people work their hours have a made a huge difference in all areas of the british economy in the past three decades. Off peak rail travel has served me well recently |

The Pessimistic Optimists Party: more "party" than "political" - and also presently dead. Also not socialist. My drinks and munchies are my own property, and attempts at redistribution result in flamethrower arguments bwahahahahaha! IRL, the left is socialist and the right is fascist. I chose neither. Anarchy! Well, Anarcho-Capitalism actually. Rothbard FTW! |

I love Rothbard. Privately owned courts and judicial systems should work out well. |

Can't be worse than what we have now. Each party would need to agree on the venue, so it should provide a better control for impartiality. |

At the moment, I don't believe so. As we are temporarily without an economy, I think the parties are having trouble finding much to argue over.
