Message | Hello Socialist Party.... are these all supposed to be socialist or something? Isn't increasing regulation on private organizations more of a fascist thing to do? |

Message | Hello! What private organizations are you referring to? Increasing regulations on people and their privacy and rights is what I would consider fascist. Increasing regulations on businesses and other economic organizations is what I would consider socialist. Anyway, I'm not exactly positive as to which Article(s) you are talking about, but if you tell me, I'll be sure to tell you my reasoning. We were trying to propose issues that weren't just economic to boost our visibility in other areas. Have a good one The Socialist Party |
