Are you a member of a political party?

[The Holy Michigan Empire]

Wait, what?

The current Republican Party is often more corporocratic than capitalist.
The Democrats are sometimes guilty of this too, but to a lesser degree.

That makes a little more sense.

But anti-capitalist. . . .

The Soviet Republican Corporate Party of America would make a nice fictional faction.

[ImprisonedUnionLeaders]

I usually vote Republican, but their Anti-Capitalist views make me angry. I have to pick and choose, never a straight ticket.

Wait, what?

My local party was in favor of "reasonable restrictions" for businesses. For a bit I thought they were occupy protesters.

[Regnum Dominae]

That's not anti-capitalist. Mildly regulated capitalism is still capitalism.

In fact, it's possible to have laissez-faire regulated capitalism; it's not a contradiction.

[Aldheim]

I originally registered as an unaffiliated voter because the Democrats are often too centrist and spineless for my liking, but I later registered as one as I decided I was better off being able to vote in the primaries.

Minimal Regulations aren't bad but i prefer Unrestricted Laissez Faire Capitalism .

[New Naephak]

No.

Not my style.


All in all not bad, but my states Republicans produce a large amount of crazies. Huckabee probably being the most well known.

With zero regulation, there is nothing to make sure that the free market stays free instead of turning into a corporate monopoly/oligopoly.
With light regulation, the government can make sure that the market stays free, while largely staying out of the way.

[Czervenika]

Not yet, but I've been considering joining the communist party of my country.

When you have competition you restrict the ability of company have monopoly of certain Item or good .

Huh? Competition is preferable to a monopoly.

Yes, which is exactly the right thing to do.

[Threlizdun]

Not yet, but I've been considering joining the communist party of my country.

Which country would that be?

[Benomia]

No because there are no actual communist parties in my country.

The Communist Party isn't even communist.

This is why i support Liberalization and Capitalism because it's the best system .

[The BlAAtschApen]

What stops you from creating one yourself?

[Dalmacie]

I think this is the first time I've actually seen one of the "zero regulations!" people arguing that monopolies are GOOD.

Usually they just say that in a "true free market" it's impossible for monopolies to arise.

[Calimera II]

Currently not.
For in Argentina I am planning to apply for membership at the PRO or the Coalición Cívica! It's too difficult to choose.

Here, in The Netherlands I will probably apply for te VVD or the D'66

And Merkel and her CDU will always have my support in germany, no membership needed.

[Benomia]

The USA.

Too lazy. Porn is much more entertaining than voting, anyway.

Funny thing is, we already have ~25 socialist/communist parties.

[Czervenika]

Not yet, but I've been considering joining the communist party of my country.

Which country would that be?

Canada.

It's not a great party but it's better than all the alternatives.

[Conscentia]

False dichotomy.

[Occupied Deutschland]

Yes, which is exactly the right thing to do.

Well, in some cases a monopoly could by leveraging market power, keep costs lower than any competitors that might arise. Leading to a natural and consumer-benefiting monopoly.

[Calimera II]

Eww Communism. (;
