Continuing the discussion of associationalism from the previous thread, it mentions its use to solve labor-management conflicts. What seems to be described, however, appears more like tripartite social corporatism á la social democracy.

I don't drink...well, only rarely. I like wine.

I do have an interest in distillation and brewing, and the processes behind tequila and whiskey, beers, etc. Wine is cool, too.

Oh, and Moonshine. Obviously moonshine, since it's big in the South and Appalachia.

Also, have you seen the drinking game? ;)

I think the poll is great

Say, has anyone here every collaborated with anyone else to create an ideology? If so, care to share?

My family had.... an interesting relationship with the moonshine trade.

At least one relative was shot at a still.
