Ideological Guide - INSTITUTIONALISM

This is a serie of article describing diverse political ideological views that might be related and useful in this game. Every week(on Tuesday and Friday) i will publish 2 parts in this work.
This work was originally made by Demonaire and should be credited as such. This is a link to the original topic: https://forum.erepublik.com/index.php?/topic/4612-ideological-guide/

The present text looks to guide citizens in eRepublik (old or new) in choosing the political party that better adjust to his/her political intentions and goals, something important respecting party recruitment. Nevertheless, I repeat: this is only a guide, not the revealed truth.
Quote:
INSTITUTIONALISM (NO SOCIAL ORIENTATION)
 
 
Defintion: Catch-all category for all political systems in existence. It comes from institutions, defined as behavior patterns which are important to a society and also refer state or private formal organizations who interact with that society. By that reason, it is the word most approximate to this category.
 
Implementation in eRepublik:
 
In this case, the implementation will be attached with the economic orientation of the country. But, in any case, I assume the implementation will be in a democratic system.
 
POLITICAL SPECTRUM
 
 
 
  • Communism/Socialism. Means of production belongs to State, who use those means to distribute all the production between their worker citizens from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs/work (Communism) or to each according his contribution (Socialism).
  • Import Tax and VAT shall be raised to 99% and 25%, respectively.
  • Work Tax shall be raised to 25% and Minimum Wage will be enhanced until an amount that surpass the best national job offer by far. With this, it's partially guaranteed the elimination of employer-employee hierarchical relationship.
  • State will offer a job offer with a pantagruelian salary to manipulate the Work Tax and guarantee, by that action, an expropriation by taxation to all citizens' companies (or even medals).
  • Once achieved that expropriation, the tax collection obtained by the State and the income by ORGs in monetary market will be used to buy goods (food, weapons, houses) and distribute them to all their citizens and to improve quality in citizens' companies, training grounds, permanent houses and rocket factory. Any surplus in production will be sold in foreign markets to collect additional income.
  • It's ultimately essential the State have an accountability log about the distribution of goods or aids to the population, looking for them to having the essential goods to develop their routine daily, and a control log for government's public servants in case they must receive public funds to create and improve companies as a measure to counteract against citizen's exodus to other countries. (And severe punishments if those public servants change citizenship and doesn't give back the resources.)
 
 
 
  • ​Social Democracy. Support social and economical state intervention in capitalist economy for implementation of a "Welfare State", defense of workers, income redistribution and expansion and development of democratic mechanisms.
  • Protectionism (Import tax raised to 99% and high VAT) to support national industries.
  • High Work Tax and Minimum Wage for purposes of income redistribution and laborers protection, respectively.
  • The State will use tax collection and income from ORGs to tax refund for workers, an universal basic income and/or distribution of goods (food, weapons, raw materials, houses, tickets, money for raw materials) for all citizens, government spending and support for infrastructure (creation and improve of companies, training grounds, permanent houses and rocket factories), all the former actions under egalitarian principles and meritocracy.
  • Besides the "official" current democratic system in eRepublik (representative democracy), State will promote other ways to develop democracy (participative, consensus, deliberative, etc) between its citizens.
 
 
 
  • Social Liberalism. Support general postulates of economic and political liberalism, but the State applies social justice policies and promotes upper class to invest in social help, considering the good of the community can harmonize with the individual freedom.
  • State can intervene in market taxes (Import Tax and VAT on industries and commodities) according to the needs of the country, with emphasis in promote trade with other countries although some punctual protectionism is allowed and some internal tax collection (by VAT) to social aids.
  • Work Tax will have the percentage enough to allows state operation and determined social policies (like aids in food, weapons, houses, tickets, raw materials, or equality of opportunities to create or improve companies, training grounds and other infrastructure with Central Bank -ORGs- credits)
  • Support to industrial class through subsidies in raw material and government spending of their production.
  • Representative democracy is the basic form of government and the state looks to improve representation.
 
 
 
  • Liberalism. Support individualism, voluntarism, market economy and private property of the means of production.
  • Low market taxes (Import Tax and VAT) to support free trade and free market with some tax collection.
  • Low Work Tax and Minimum Wage to impulse competitiveness in the marketplace and capital accumulation, some tax collection is allowed.
  • State only intervenes to correct price distortions in the market, promote equality of opportunity between individuals to counteract social inequities from free-market outcomes (i.e. equal access to financing creation or improve of infrastructure, subsidies in raw material) and for state operation (defense, education, diplomacy, etc.)
  • Social justice can be applicable, but it isn't priority.
  • Political and civil liberties and rights, representative democracy.
  • Banking system and ORGs rental for capital accumulation and invest for profit. Creation of corporations.
  • Private institutions are paid. No money, no services.
 
 
  • Neoliberalism. Laissez-faire Capitalism. Supports to free trade, fiscal austerity, state deregulation of economy and reductions of government spending to enhance the role of private sector in the economy.
  • All taxes and minimum wage are reduced to near zero. State fulfill its duties by using the ORGs and residual treasure income.
  • If any, the only governmental spending allowed is in support to industries with priority in the big ones (as subsidies in raw materials to high quality companies).
  • Political and civil liberties and rights, representative democracy.
  • Banking system and ORGs rental for capital accumulation and invest for profit. Creation of corporations.
  • Private institutions are paid. No money, no services.
