@Fanon: Howso what does that mean? You know what a political party is, you know what purpose is, so you know what a single-purpose-party is. What that party should have as ago is roughly stated above. I even stated why it had to be single-purpose.
Trying to control/abolish corporations goes against beliefs of the political right, which i also tried to make clear in previous post. Although one could argue that corporations are not owned by any person, but large economic organisations seperate from democracy seem inevitable from a rightist point of view. Any way, the right exists, and fighting corporations defeats the one-purpose nature of the party, and turns off those rightist people who want political reform. I think government can be reformed while leaving corporations untouched. Of course, there might be resistence from those corporations.
You claim that your cause is about democracy, but it seems that you are arguing for a left government, that has corporations by the balls, or even abolishes them. Abolishing them would mean they would have to be replaced by something, it sounds like a vastly more complicated task.
The job that capitalism should be doing is IMO the following:
- Do the logistics, develop (part of)the tech.
- Allow for people to change how things are done for the better.
And not interfere with govt, of course, indeed capitalism needs to be interfered with from the outside to uphold ethics.(which is not done to a great enough extent, i think) They currently definitely do the logistics, but i am not sure wether there is enough space for other people to enter and do things in better ways. Perhaps corporate openness laws, mandating GPL-like code licences(security problem?), could help in these, but again, i think it is beyond the scope of the party. (gave some
cons of (current) capitalism)
BTW i am not saying that capitalism is the only way to reach these goals. (although i do not really know different)

Does not quite cover how that fair existence is to be reached. Nor those two goals above.
Maybe this is off topic? Should i make thread?
About those presidents: that is a reason that presidents should get less power, and politics should be more accesable.
PS rightist not meant as insult (as leftist is sometimes used)
