Your Vote Could Help the US!

My friend, Matthew Smith the Awesomeness is running for Party President of a former French political party (we absorbed all of their parties by conquering them). This party has over 50 gold on hand. As you know, the gold in parties can only be used for advertising. Matthew Smith the Awesomeness plans to use the money to advertise the US Welcoming Committee and other worthy causes to help the US community. You can read about this in his paper:

Running against Matthew Smith is Civil Anarchy of the Socialist Freedom Party. The communists are attempting to gain control of the party to run ads for the SFP to gain more exposure for their communes. This does not help the US as communes generate little tax money and only exist for the benefit of their members.
If anyone has a vote left to give, I invite you to join the Revolution Grolandaise Party and vote for Matthew Smith the Awesomeness to help America!

>> "communes generate little tax money and only exist for the benefit of their members"
Ha.
Most privately-run companies use the money market to avoid paying taxes altogether and only exist for the benefit of their owners. Communes are mutual-benefit societies; they are as American as apple pie.
The taxes generated by the US come from income taxes. Of which, minimum-wage employees pay very little. I stand by my correct assesment of the benefits to the country.
The country is more than the government.
Communes provide excellent benefits to the community. They provide bread, weapons and gifts either free or at low cost. They are the foundation of many citizen-based militias, not only in the US, but around the e-world. They also provide a social nexus that draws in new players, get people involved in the game and help to *build* community. They are a collegial and fun way to manage your economic e-life and work with the game's dynamics.
This anti-communist and oh-my-gosh-they're-anarchists hoo-ha is just silly.
I'm not anti-communists. I'm comparing the benefits of spending gold on advertising communes vs advertising wellness programs.
My opinion on that is there is more to gain by advertising US government interests than a party's interests.
I get it.
I'm just sayin', don't be so quick to trash the folks who like to explore alternative ways of making the game work, my friend. The lefties -- and the SFP in particular -- helped to pioneer the idea of communes and self-sufficient militias. These are good pragmatic ideas that have worked out pretty well for a number of folks, not only for the SFP.
And I expect we'll see more radical ideas from the SFP (and others) when the new economic module emerges.
It's a false dichotomy to say you must support either the government or a party. The parties are the life-blood of fresh thinking, a good place to explore the complexities of the game, and the center of social life for many players.
I think you've over analysed my short article here. I'm just stating the reasons I'd prefer MSTA to control the party funds.
On my personal feelings on communes and military companies; you can refer to my previous article. In my opinion, they aren't as efficient as market forces. If it makes you happy though, do it!
Thanks for the info.
I still dont see where phoenix quinn got the idea you're "anti-communist", surely he can see that advertising the welcoming committee will do more good than advertising a political party.
