This was never a matter to begin with, it was a joke.

Zeouria wrote:Look at the workplace. It is characterised by slavery. It's a heiarchal institution, in which it pins worker against boss. All of what the worker produces goes directly to the owner, in which it is sold. In return, the worker is ordered around and received a wage. A wage of enough to keep him/her alive.

Wrong. The workplace relationship is frequently mischaracterized as some form of hierarchy, but this is highly inaccurate. First of all, it is completely voluntary. I do not have to work for someone else and neither do you. It might be easier in the short run to do it, but even for the disadvantaged they can simply sell their talent directly to consumers without starting a formal business (however, government licensing and regulation makes this very difficult in some circumstances). There are more complicated ways to avoid working for others, such as starting a commune or your own business, that are also made more difficult by state coercive powers. Nevertheless, my point is that self-employment is possible and quite popular in much of Europe.

Secondly, the nature of the office means that the relationship between the manager and the employee can never be truly hierarchical. First and foremost, the ultimate ruler is the market. The market dictates what the business sells and very often how it is organised. Workers are remunerated not based on the arbitrary whims of executives, but due to supply and demand, and the ever-changing nature of prices. Market pressure also restricts what the boss can do to his or her employees. Mistreating workers can not only steer away consumers, but also investors and the very labour needed to help them. A business owner cannot simply do what they want. They depend on other people to accomplish their goals, and must always settle for what the other party wants to keep business flowing. It is a complex relationship with only one clear ruler: the market.

Zeouria wrote:A workers rents his labor, right? Well, the worker is his labor; a persons labor ability and a person are not seperate, you own yourself. Thus, a worker is renting him/herself.

I wouldn't word it like that. A worker's labour is a product of himself, but the two are not literally one and the same. His labour is a service that he owns because it is a product of his body, which he can never relinquish ownership of. But he can sell his labour to whoever he wishes because it is merely a product of his self-ownership and not literally a part of it. The only way someone could literally sell himself is if he agreed with a transaction partner to remove his brain from his body and have the other person's brain implanted into his old body. This would be the only legitimate way to give up self-ownership rights to the body you're born with. But since this practice is currently impossible, it is of no use discussing.

Zeouria wrote:And Americans flag , too. The conservative party is anything BUT Libertarian.

Throughout its history, the Republican Party has had very strong elements of libertarianism that have shaped policy. The Civil War/Reconstruction-era Radical Republicans sought to take land and property from former slave masters and give them to freedmen; this would have been consistent with Rothbardian property rights and natural law theory. The GOP of the 1920s slashed taxes and spending while protecting the rights of women, preventing further segregation and finally giving the Natives citizenship. The Robert Taft Republicans rolled back the New Deal and fought against foreign interventionism. Reagan was a libertarian-leaning conservative that cut down the size of government while avoiding war abroad. The Republican Party shed most vestiges of social libertarianism in the 90s, and any hope of following conservative economic doctrine under the Bush Administration.

Zeouria wrote:The conservative party is against gay marriage, pro larger military, pro the oppression of foreign peoples', against a women's right to get an abortion, etc.

It is not a woman's right. It is a convenience that results in the death of infants. I'm not saying it should be illegal, which would cause more problems than it could solve, but it is most certainly a wretched, wretched practice.

There is a broad scientific consensus that fetuses are indeed living beings. Your political preferences do not determine what is life and what is not.

Board Elections
Here is what the make-up of next month's Board will look like. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Seat 1: Godisdead (RLP)
Seat 2: Conservative Idealism in Libertatem (ACOP)
Seat 3: Right-Winged Nation (RLP)
Seat 4: Hallo Island (CHUM)
Seat 5: Muh Roads (RLP)

Since nobody has contested any of the seats yet, the elections may still go on if there are any legitimate races. So before the end of the month, if anyone wants to run for the Board, please say so so we can organise the final races.

Tell me what you think of this.

Impeachment Amendment Draft

Section I
The President, Vice President and all civil officers of Libertatem, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, abuse of power, or other high crimes and misdemeanors, through two out of the following three ways
Subsection I
The Founder seeks to impeach the President
Subsection II
A 4/5ths majority of the Board seeks to impeach the President
Subsection III
Two thirds of voting members of the House of Representatives seek to impeach the President

What do y'all think?

Board should be the jury

Tried that before, it doesn't work.

The amarican empire

How about a random jury from those people that voted in the last election.

Northern prussia wrote:Board should be the jury

Well, the Board doubles as the High Court, but impeaching a president that way would require a unanimous vote. I don't think that'd be necessary. I think requiring the approval of 2 branches of government would make the most sense. Or perhaps we could make all three branches of government needed for impeachment.

Conservative idealism in libertatem

I thought about how it should really be ‘im-grapefruit-ment’ because grapefruits are sour and getting impeached would be a sour experience.
