What is your view of socialism, given your working-class, trade unionist background?

I believe in an eventual socialist reorganisation of society and I consider myself a reformist socialist - or, if you will, a social democrat of the old-school Bernsteinist mold.
I do not believe a socialist society is possible at this time and I believe that it demands significant technological and democratic advancement before it can be realistically achieved, however.

Does the Right Honourable Senator not see a contradiction between support for monarchy and libertarianism/objectivism? Surely the retention of monarchy must clash on some ideological level with values of individualist self-advancement, seeing as a hereditary monarchy prevents a very significant form of self-advancement - the right to become head of state?
EDIT: Scratch that, how can you reconcile 'free market' views with neo-feudalism as a whole?

Why do you believe socialism is not possible at this time?

...there are literally next to no Catholics in Dagmar. Like, none. Scandinavia's turn to Protestantism was pretty full-force, and even the paganism is stretching it - we had to come up with some reasonable, regional explanations.
I'd find it hard to believe anywhere in this country tops out with 67%.

I think it's fine if it's majority Catholic, but you are right in that 67% is a questionably large majority.

A majority Catholic area would only be a small, rural Southern town. Anywhere else, and any larger than a few thousand, and it makes no sense with the demographics. Catholics are extremely uncommon.
Ryttaren
Account Name: Ikania for now though I assume it might be picked up by the admins.
Elected Representative: Until the population is determined, just Hans Egilsson.
Population: Probably around 100,000, maybe higher or lower. Will be decided for sure if it becomes the capital.
Ethnic Composition:77% Dagmari, 5% Norwegian, 4% Danish, 3% Swedish, 2% Arab/Middle Eastern, 4% other.
Background: Ryttaren was originally founded by Saxon explorers in the pre-Norman days of the Viking Age, as a Christian settlement, home to many monks. It was raided over the course of many years by Danes and the Great Heathen Army, which gradually populated the island with their own people, who soon largely outnumbered the Catholic priests. It was later conquered by Harthacanute, and absorbed into the Kingdom of Denmark. After he died, however, the Christian Danes were kicked off the islands by angry Pagan Danes, who created their own monarchy and declared their independence, using the town of Ryttaren as the seat of the government due to the easily defensible position and abundant food. In the early 1000s, the island was invaded by King Sweyn Forkbeard of Denmark, who attempted to take back a former Danish settlement. These attempts were repelled until Sweyn died, leaving the islands in peace. The Kingdom of Dagmar prospered in independence for 50 more years before it was conquered by Sweyn II

Are we using the 1,107,200 pop? Because surely we could at least double that. It's ridiculously low for the senate to legislate for.Not a Bang but a Whimper wrote:I think it's fine if it's majority Catholic, but you are right in that 67% is a questionably large majority.
I thought I was pushing it with 11%.... How the bloody hell is a majority justifiable?
