| We believe the current system of double monopolies, in which only private companies run regional lines and only the government runs national, is unethical and bad for the economy. We believe a system in which a public train system exists alongside private ones is the best solution. |

| Message | SCP, under a FDP state, corporations would not have limited liability (look it up, you probably don't know what it means) and therefore there can be no tyranny of the corporation as companies would not be separate legal entities, and merely a collection of individuals who own the "company". Furthermore, if the initiation of force is banned, there can be no tyranny as everything is done by voluntary exchange and mutual consent |
