Based on their posted platform...
Fasces wrote:Economic Platform
Overriding ideology: Corporatism
Opposed. We are a producerist party and strongly in favor of entrepreneurialism.
Fasces wrote:End the income tax
While sympathetic to this goal, we oppose it as impractical and support a progressive income tax which allows for all investment to be deducted.
Fasces wrote:Maximize revenue from corporate taxation
Opposed, we favor low corporate taxes to boost international competitiveness.
Fasces wrote:Institute land tax
Somewhat in favor, we advocate LVT for state and local governments.
Fasces wrote:Regulate corporate profits
Fasces wrote:Nationalize key industries
Opposed, except perhaps for defense industries and some "natural monopolies".
Fasces wrote:Raise tariffs to protect local industry (and end subsidies)
This depends on whether or not the country is fully industrialized, but we do oppose uniform protectionism in any case.
Fasces wrote:Mandatory union membership for all employees and employers
Not opposed, but we have what is likely a very different scheme.
Fasces wrote:National union structures integrated into legislature
Opposed
Fasces wrote:Creation of a new industrial House in the legislature to represent union interests
Opposed
Fasces wrote:Protect the land and environment for the people
Opposed
Fasces wrote:Social Platform
Overriding ideology: Fascist
Goes without saying that we are opposed.
Fasces wrote:Pro Death Penalty
Prison reform (Work camps)
In favor of both of these, death penalty not particularly important to us though.
Fasces wrote:Anti Abortion unless woman's life is in danger
Our current abortion policy is as follows:
- Partial birth abortion illegal except in case of rape, incest, fetal defects, or danger to the mother's life
- Free abortion available in cases of rape, incest, fetal defects, or danger to the mother's life
- States' rights on all other abortion questions, as the issue is socially divisive
There has been some discussion about requiring a brief waiting period between committing to an abortion and actually having the procedure performed, but this has not yet been adopted.
Fasces wrote:Institute universal health care
Opposed, but not strongly. We favor universal healthcare for children and mandatory health savings plans (as part of our general program of social insurance through mandatory savings). The state also funds an account for children when they are born so that they start adult life with a funded plan. For those who for whatever reason are unable to pay (and this would be very rare), the state will loan the money. We also have a program to drastically lower the amount of healthcare necessary by improving the lifestyle of the people, particularly in the area of nutrition.
Fasces wrote:Institute strict limits on immigration
Deport all criminal and illegal immigrants
Strongly in favor
Fasces wrote:National Service Program (civil or military) voluntary, but a prerequisite to vote
We favor mandatory national service.
Fasces wrote:International Platform
Overriding Ideology: Armed Neutrality
Points of special interest:[list]
Withdraw all foreign troops
Remove all foreign military bases on our soil
Remove all foreign aid
Withdraw from all foreign alliances, military and economic
Institute a national militia under the National Service Program much like the Swiss model.
We have no particular objection to any of this, although we are more pragmatic and recognize that our national interests do extend beyond our borders and may occasionally require defense.
