  • Do You Like Money? (Or, the Capital Party thread)

    To paraphrase the song, can you remember the last time love bought you clothes? We (me ) at the Capital Party believe that a strong economy is the key to happy citizens. As such we (I) advocate Free Market economics and high levels of trade and energy production. War is an inconvenience as it diverts resources from the economy, but we (I) think we should maintain some forces for defensive purposes (since our (my) Free Market philosophy makes stationing units overseas impractical).

    Who will join me in liberating the markets of Planet?

    The following people have joined to liberate the markets of Planet:

    Dear Mr President, your party and the P4 share a very similar view of our new society. I hope we can cooperate on the long term.

      (Mat 25:34-40) Then the King shall say to those on His right hand, Come, blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry, and you gave me food; I was thirsty, and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger, and you took Me in; I was naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me. Then the righteous shall answer Him, saying, Lord, when did we see You hungry, and fed You? Or thirsty, and gave You drink? When did we see You a stranger, and took You in? Or naked, and clothed You? Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and came to You? And the King shall answer and say to them, Truly I say to you, Inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brothers, you have done it to Me.

      Love does not buy you clothes, love gives them freely. Love does not count cost, love counts actions. We of the Fundamentalist Faction belive in the value of a thriving economy. However we are on a new world and this new world brings a new way of doing things. We cannot allow the old strafication of our society to follow us here. Here the measure of a man should not be what he can hold, but what he can do. Actions, not financies should be the determining factor.

      Since we will have to trade eventually with other conlies here, then I understand the need for a strong economic leadership. But that leadership should be turning the others toward a system that is not based on having more, but on doing more.

            Greed is cool.

            Well, it's hard to argue with that. But I stand by my party's philosophy.

              Aaaah yes. Energy makes the world go round. Quite literally.
              I think this party is a capital idea, and would love to join.

                  Mr. President: You should consider transfering your ideas to my organization. The IOC (independents of chiron) seek to combine the power of like minded indviduals who may happen to disagree on small issues into something meaningful. The IOC welcomes any opportunity to expand the power of the faction. Your party seems to attract bright individuals. Just think of the power if you were allied with other similar parties.


                  Greed has a place waiting in the IOC.

                    Mr. President, from the mid-game on P4 is also in favour of free market. In the initial expansion phase however we stand for Planned. What is your view on that matter? FM no matter what or a more moderate approach?

                            As Free Market is one of the footholds of Democracy, LSD can share a similar view with you, apart that we also have Green interests.
