Progress Party of Kerala

There'd be questions from AAP itself claiming that this is to ride on the wave that AAP created. It'd be a nice idea to have a solid answer ready.

Also set up a bugzilla for Kerala? :P :P

Why not just call it pirate party?

Pirate party is the largest party in Iceland by the way :D

And for those who wish to read up on Classical Liberalism:

Ideology of both are different right. and when we say pirate party people will gets pirate in negative meaning.

Fair enough.

I have an issue with classical liberalism. It is Utopian and would be too easy to hijack in practice. Indeed, that is how we don't actually see much of it in practice. Also, stands taken by classical liberalism supporters that I observe seem counter intuitive and biased toward large industry and in several instances seem to gloss over existing inequalities as though they would vanish just because we wish them to in order to apply this great idea we have.

There is no responsibility for the larger picture or heritage.

A simple example. The current attempt by the power loom lobby to scrap the handloom reservation act. Classical liberalism would not approve of reservation of some items to be produced only on hand looms. State must not meddle, etc. Yet it would wreak havoc on the lives of millions of weavers. That is immediate and can be argued away with some Utopian rubbish about them finding alternative work if everyone followed liberalism.

Step back a bit. India has an abundance of manpower and shortage of electricity. None of the handloom items are life essentials that must be mass produced cheaply. Many of the handloom items involve traditional designs and weaving styles passed over generations.

Step still further back. India has a rich wealth of traditional arts and crafts which will be easy to out compete. Resulting reduced market will not allow them to survive. This elimination of existing business in favor of whatever captures market (but not necessarily other important functions of the product) is a bias liberalism can never escape by definition.

I am fine if you argue that things that don't endure should go the Darwin way, but on a national level, this needs to be a citizen's consensus to let go of vast tracts of their past and is beyond the scope of a bunch of people saying "hey the world will work better this way"

My pet question for liberalists is always, in a liberal country, who monitors epidemics? I even accept that those who cannot afford medicines should die. Can you afford to live if 80% of those around you couldn't afford vaccinations?

Every theory which claims "x or y are the right ways" is pretty much rigid and Utopian. What we need is a theory which replaces parts which have failed with ones that work. For instance, during the Ebola epidemic, medicine sans frontier(msf.org) and local organizations cured most of the Ebola patients. It wasn't the WHO and it wasn't the state. So in this case, local organizations and international cross borders ones like msf(and not WHO) need to be put more into practice and the failed ones need to be phased out.

I think libertarian socialism is the way to go, as it's the only theory which allows for this type of flexibility . Butf the rich and the powerful would obviously not accept that :)

Also, since democide is the largest man made cause of death, it would be unwise to not consider its causes as well.

Privacy, Transparacy, Democracy, The Basic Needs for pirates of the World. Humanrights Equality, if you have all of this in a Party Movement Then your on the right tracks.
