The party must not disintegrate amid the aspirations of the many in an election year. We must maintain a cordial tone throughout, so as to prevent estrangement and stagnation in Government. I encourage unity, as our platforms are all remarkably similar.
Alejandro Ruiz de Escovedo,
Minister of Foreign Affairs
Hmmm...... or we could form a new party...... one that could challenge the establishment, revitalize the election system, and encourage enlightened debates between the two factions... as long as it doesn't get out of hand...
I hereby propose the creation of a new party, the Unidos Partido Capitalista (UPC)!
here are the basic values that all members of the UPC should adhere to...
First and foremost, members of the UPC should be advocates of a
Laissez-Faire economic policy and a
free trade foreign economic policy. The statists in power may cry out in favor of a guiding hand in the economy but in order to meet the other world powers (France, Britain, the United States) we must rely on the industrialism and ambitiousness of our citizens and not hinder them with needless economic infringement. This means low taxes or all eschelons of society but especially for the wealthier job creators. As a very successful businessman myself, I can personally attest to what the wonders of a hands off economic policy can do for an ambitious man. In that spirit, I would also like the UPC to be a pro-immigration party that advocates for
Full Citizenship because, as any idiot can discern from graphs and such, immigrants are the lifeblood of our economy. We must take in these huddled masses yearning to breathe free and then promptly set them to work for mediocre wages in our factories and coal mines!
Second, they should be stringent
moralists, or at the very least
pluralists in regards to the role a state should play within Chilean society and culture. Our Catholic roots have led us through the trials of the 19th century and should not be so easily forgotten. Chileans should be proud of their culture as well as their religious unity! This unity can only bring greater stability to our society as a whole. Speaking of unity, there is no better way to stir up patriotism than with a strong military. Therefore I would urge would be UPC members to expound a
Jingoist rhetoric (failing that, being pro-military would suffice). For more information on the military, please speak to someone who actually knows about the glory of the battlefield.
These are the tenets of the UPC! They will, in some ways, differ from the values of the Frente Nacional (moralism, jingoism) and will clash at other points. I hope that this new party will not be seen as an insurrection to be squashed, but as a necessary division within the Frente Nacional. If the UPC fails to form its own party, I will still conduct my political affairs as Caitan Crazzio,
insert prestigious titles here... and chairman of the UPC!
