Cult of Hayek and Enewald never really got along, it seemed like.

Indeed. Getting along would be socialist, and would deprive the consumer of "choice."
 
So Enewald confesses to being an irrational socialist then? Good, you've saved yourself from the perils of our painful instruments of torture, such as the dreaded comfy chair.

NO NOT THAT CHAIR PLEASE NOOO :p

I don't want to embrace decadent socialist life! :eek:

Socialism is in fact very rational. You vote someone into power who promises you a lot of good things. Even I can approve that. Problem is when the dude in power turns out to be a bloody tyrant who does everything to cling into power, puts opposition forces into prisons, starts hunting down dissidents, declares martial law, and establishes heavy secret service that only spies upon its own citizens in order to keep the society stable and his rule secure.
So long as we are mere mortal humans, afflicted by greed and selfishness, I would prefer not to end up in a gulag. :p
Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Socialism is fit for an utopia, not for the world of greedy imperfect men we live in. :)

The planning required to establish a socialist utopia would quickly lead us onto a road to serfdom. It's a damn good book, truly. :D

You really don't want to stop with this, do you? I think you already won, leave it alone for God sakes.

Also, Densley, what EXACTLY is this you want to see there? Whiggish Pantheon, what colours and where?

The original point was to get Enewald to stop though. :(

Buff.
 
But Enewaldism and the Cult of Hayek are identical! (also, it's either "Powellites" or "Powellism" :p)

Hayek is slightly more towards interventionism, whereas I propose no interventionism at all. :p
We are far from identical.

Funny thing is, Mises more or less accused Hayek of socialism. :rofl:
During the first Mont Pelerin society meeting, he called present other free market economists who were tolerating some state interventionism as 'bunch of socialists'. :laugh:

It's all the same crap to us normal people though. :D

"Political Movements, 0.6"
 
That is the same as putting a Marxists, Bolshevik, Menshevik, Leninist, Trotskyist, Social-Anarchist, Stalinist and a Maoist into the same room and calling them all communists! :p
I think the poor social-anarchist would not feel safe in that terrible room. ...And everyone else would militantly disagree with you and scream that only THEY are the true communist.
 
A fine choice. Though I never thought I'd see the day when you and I were in the same party! :)

As I've said for all these years I have sympathized with the Liberal party and thought about voting for them. It have just alienated me because of their social democrat wing, nationalization of the industries and so on. However the National. liberal party and the Conservatives have alienated me big time now. And concidering they won't limit the economy further and cut down on the military, and want to increase social reforms and have a clear feminist agenda (( :laughing: )) they are much more appealing.

So for now I'll be your fellow collauge, but don't expect it last. I am after all loyal to principles and the better for UK and not loyal to parties.

((Yup. Also, there's a constant party there with blackjack and hookers.))

Sound like a place for me! Except that I don't do hookers, or gamble. So I think I should go and knit something instead :(

PoliticalMovements05_zps7c580f60.jpg

So here's the reason I asked about the colour of Enewaldism earlier.
"Political movements in post-war Britannia 0.5"
I'm wide open to any suggestions about ANYTHING.

I am a Liberal now! And was a Tory last election :( Other than that one mighht interpertate it as being in the middle of One Nation Conservatism, moderate Austrian economics, Enewaldnism, Monetarism/Conservative Liberalism/Liberal Conservstism and Social Liberalism :)

It is essentially Grimondite Liberalism, but we need some orange, blue, white and buff on there! :D

What is that?

But Enewaldism and the Cult of Hayek are identical! (also, it's either "Powellites" or "Powellism" :p)

Well Enewald is anarcho-capitalist. Hayek support a free-market, however it do have some regulations, a frame work and a welfare state and is not Laissez-Faire. Anarcho-Capitalists have laissez-faire to include everything - like the government :)

You really don't want to stop with this, do you? I think you already won, leave it alone for God sakes.

This may be the only thing I will agree with you on! XD

Indeed. And Objectivists call libertarians and anarcho-capitalists and Mises for socialists :p Furthermore Mises is also pro-conscription.

You need to make the femitarians bigger! Let it be one giant text all over from One Nation, to nat libs, to scottish, to hayek, to Lemons to Oranges :D And what is "the vite switcher"?

I must say we have a reached a historical benchmark; now this is the thread where I have most post from all over these forums; I have 356 only in General_Bts magnum opus Roma AARisen, a true titan of the Ck1 AARland, being a fervent follower of that AAR for ~4 years! Now I have achieved the same here within ONE month. :eek:
current rankings; Tanzhang, 946, Densley, 684, Howard, 609, Contra, 496, Dadarian, 419, Me, 357, Van 239, Tommy 214, 99KingHigh, 188, John Forseti, 141 and so on.

Times they are changing. :D
 
And what is "the vite switcher"?
The Vote Switcher, the Villain of the Modern Age
"Once a cunning but weird voter in Britain, Sir Videonfan always had a knack for spoiling other people's fun. Wanting to become the most unpredictable voter in interactive AARs, videonfan tried an experiment to remove all kinds of logic from his brain. But then, a freakish accident occured when a nonradioactive spider got into his equipment. Videonfan's vote switching skills were blasted to super human levels. For months he was able to use his powers for darkness, confusing both GM and players with his sudden and illogical party betrayal. But now the vote switching that has annoyed so many is threatened by the very rules of the Westminster System. But then again, there is no election that can not be spoiled by the Vote Switcher!"

((At least this was the explanation videofan gave me:)))
 
As promised, another official poll:

Total Vote: 41

Con R: 12
Lib Y: 9
CPGB: 5
Labour: 5
Nat Lib: 5
Lib O: 3
Con ON: 2

YES: 17
NO: 18

%s:
Tories: 34.1%
Liberals: 29.3%
CPGB: 12.2%
Labour: 12.2%
Nat Libs: 12.2%

Seats:
Tories: 291
Liberals: 249
CPGB: 26
Labour: 26
Nat Libs: 26
UUP: 12

In the referendum its far too close to call. In the General Election likewise.

As it stand the Tories are extremely close to crossing the 35% threshold - something that would likely give them a majority with the Liberals trailing behind. However, the Tories would be able to form a government with the support of UUP and National Liberal MPs that would hold a clear majority. All 3 of the smaller parties are about as close to going above 15% (thus doubling their weighting) as they are to falling bellow 10% (halving it). It what could well be our last election under this system - its as hard to call as ever!

ps: Really liked Contra's new diagram and will add it to the contents! :)
 
I for one would like to see Labour's moderation policies rewarded with a greater showing than 26 seats. If there are any Gaitskellites or Attleeites out there, now is your chance to make an impact! :)

Could I request that the The Whiggish Pantheon limerick is also added? It would be largely for my own personal benefit, but I think it's slightly amusing at least. :)

By the Hand of He, the Great Prophet, the Cult of Hayek so do hereby declare Dom Contravarius et al ad nauseum to be a Finger of the Hand of the Prophet. This means he is accepted to be a conveyor of the Words of the Prophet and is a representative of He.

This reasoning was found in a Dream provided by Him, asking me, the Mouth of He, to provide thanks to Dom Contravarius for all he has done for Him in the name of Him.

Though He has had some disagreements with Dom Contravarius, it must be expected that He works in mysterious ways, just like His Hand.

In the name of Liberty and Freedom, I so do declare in the Name of He.

In the Glory of He,

May Hayek be with you.
