Hi Dilip:
I will try for one.......
Libertarians believe not only in small government (The Conservative Position), but in almost no government or regulation. As I understand it, Libertarianism believes highly in the ethical standards of nearly all humans, and that normally they will do the "correct" thing. Thus Libertarianism promotes self-regulation among sectors (Such as the grocery industry), and no regulating where not necessary.
This is a mischaracterization of human nature. Humans (Combination of Spirit and Avatar) have both a "light side" and a "dark side". When born, we lean towards the light, like plants (flowers). But trauma, especially injustice from other humans, turns us to be more self-interested (Which in some ways is necessary) and to embrace our dark side (Impervious to causing pain to others, and in extreme cases, relishing it). Because of this, regulation is always necessary in human civilization. In self-regulation, there is always a conflict of interest - the correct vs profit.
I will provide examples that big corporations cannot be trusted:
Bob: "We generally like to believe that corporations will make profit, that they will do so legally, and that in the process, they will not gouge the consumer."

Dilip (Post # 111)
I agree with all you say, except that our future party in Government should be a Libertarian one.
And thanks for your support for the process we are using. I am commenting on, and drafting, statements. But when I act as Group Secretary, I put my Marxism aside, and try very hard to state exactly what the group is saying (Whether I personally agree or not). I am pleased to hear I am doing this "in an unbiased manner".
Fred's Interventions (Post # 109 - 23/7/15)
However, as we are doing with Sid in the Negative Climate Change (NCC) thread, Fred's positions on the statement should be commented on by others, as you have, so that we can answer his comments on our Generally Accepted Statements. I have said elsewhere that the conversation protocol calls for this.
To this end, I will put forward the Statements, with Fred's relevant comments underneath, and Dilip's, to make it easier to answer Fred's concerns (We did this with Sid's comments on the Negative Climate Change thread):
Commonly Accepted Statements re NWO/GR
Statement # 1. World-wide, in the past, people have had a structure of government imposed on them by a minority.
Fred Henderson Comment (Post # 109 - 23/7/15): I reject statement #1. Same old story. Typical left wing propaganda. Are you saying that in a democracy, it is possible for a minority to impose their will on a majority? Not possible. If you say it is possible, then explain how, and give an example.
Statement # 2. Over time, electors have democratically accepted the government structure proposed at the time, usually some variant of earlier forms of government (Who are "electors" has evolved over time).
Fred Henderson Comment (Post # 109 - 23/7/15): I reject statement 2 also. What do you mean "" ...democratically accepted the government structure imposed (there's that word again) AT THAT TIME. People vote for the part of their choice in Canada, Left right or centrist. They vote to register ther opinions about economic and social policy, not government structure.
Statement # 3. Democratic societies have adopted "Rule by the Majority".
Fred Henderson Comment (Post # 109 - 23/7/15): Statement 3 *your revision of my statement" I reject also. A democracy does not adopt "rule by majority". A democracy "MEANS" rule by a majority. If you say otherwise, then explain why. You can't just reject it out of hand, unless maybe you think you are talking to the psycophants and sheep who form the vast majority of your Marxist-Leninist club on Facebook. (I would say "forumn", but nobody there speaks up, they are quite happy to be spoon-=fed, it would seem.
Statement # 4. People have passed "Constitutions" and developed Courts in order to have human rights respected and to prohibit the tyranny of the majority.
Fred Henderson Comment (Post # 109 - 23/7/15): I reject statement 4 also. The so called "tyranny of the majority" is just more left wing hype and drivel. "Tyranny is pure hyperbole. Way over the top, and no-one out there is the real world will take you seriously if you try to feed them this kind of whitewash.
Dilip Panjwani Response (Post # 111 - 23/7/15) - statement 4... even a cursory peek at histories of nations will reveal multiple examples of 'tyranny of the majority'; it exists even today...
Statement # 5. People (A majority of the local government, at least) have the right to.agree with each other on a government structure for themselves and can join hands to act jointly to govern themselves, and act in a way they feel "benefits themselves and humanity", so long as there is a respect for basic human rights.
Fred Henderson Comment (Post # 109 - 23/7/15): [I] Reject statement 5 also. People do not have the right to join hands to govern themselves. Not in a democracy.
Dilip Panjwani Response (Post # 111 - 23/7/15): ...the sad part about representative democracies is that the politicians who get elected do not serve the majority...they make fools of the majority (and minority), and sometimes it takes more than one term for the electors to realize that they are being hoodwinked, and then they elect a different party which hoodwinks them in a different way. The so-called majority does not rule, but decides which of the political parties they are less mad at. If only people could govern themselves, ........, where they may join hands with like-minded co-citizens in certain ways, that would be as close to Utopia as one can get...
Procedure
As thread secretary (Originator), I will add the comments of other CT'ers as they come forward before judging whether any/some/all of our 5 Statements to date, are still "commonly-accepted". The protocol states that where there are only a few objections, it is deemed that the statements are "generally accepted"....and we do not seek "unanimity", but only significant majority support.
Bob A (Anti-NWO)
Note: While I am thinking about it: A future Statement I wish to make will deal specifically with this issue of "Representative Government, raised by Dilip.
But it is less confusing if we deal with, and finish with, Fred's comments first.Last edited by Bob Armstrong; Saturday, 15th July, 2023, 08:55 PM.

Question
At ground zero, in practice, what is the difference in the operation of these two statements?
Bob A (Anti-NWO)Originally posted by Bob AIn Communism, the assets are owned by the workers, but administered on their behalf by the State (Correct me if I am wrong).
The WEF, in their 2017 promotion video, states, "You will own nothing and be happy"
In both systems, the "workers," aka citizens own NOTHING, ZERO, NADA. In practice, the "elites own everything" that historically in communist systems are
the top officials in the government and their corrupted generals that enforce policies that benefit the government elite.
THE WEF, instead of calling on people to grow and expect more are called upon to sacrifice in the name of the common good and expect less. Whether it is the scamdemic or climate change porn it is always the citizens that sacrifice while the "elite" benefits from these sacrifices.
So per your main point fascism and communism are one of the same, private corporations owned by the elite working with the government to screw over the citizenry.
The greatest transfer of wealth in the history of humanity happened in 2020 when lockdowns of the healthy on the notion for the first time in medical history that healthy people can transmit the disease; hence widespread lockdowns were necessary. The net result was that trillions of dollars worth of business were transferred from small businesses shuttered to companies like Amazon and Walmart (mysteriously, Walmarts was exempt from the lockdowns and was perfectly positioned for this meticulously planned shakedown).
Naturally, Amazon and Walmart are partners with the WEF big time. Do you think anything resembling a democracy exists? You only have to look as far as right here in Canada, replete with election interference by the CCP both in the Federal and even in the Toronto Municipal elections. JT is a young global leader of the WEF and our deputy prime minister, Crystia Freeland, is also deputy director of the WEF. Since when did Canadians elect the CCP-controlled WEF?????

Re Post # 101 above (Sat., July, 8)
Our "Conversation Format" operates on two main principles:
1. If there is no proposed revision of a Statement put forward as a "Commonly-Held" Statement, nor objection, within one week, then the Statement is considered "commonly-accepted" (This follows the Quebec parliamentary procedure: No objection to a motion put, then no discussion or voting necessary - motion is considered passed by a majority, at least).
2. The goal is not "unanimity", though that would be nice. The goal is "majority" acceptance of a Statement; this gives it the status of "commonly-held".
5 Commonly-held Statements have now been posted for one week without any suggested revisions. So the following Statements are now "commonly-accepted" by the CT'ers interacting in this thread (Of course, revisions to Statements can be proposed at any time, regardless of how long they may have been commonly accepted by that time):
Commonly Accepted Statements re NWO/GR
Statement # 1. World-wide, in the past, people have had a structure of government imposed on them by a minority.
Statement # 2. Over time, electors have democratically accepted the government structure proposed at the time, usually some variant of earlier forms of government (Who are "electors" has evolved over time).
Statement # 3. Democratic societies have adopted "Rule by the Majority".
Statement # 4. People have passed "Constitutions" and developed Courts in order to have human rights respected and to prohibit the tyranny of the majority.
Statement # 5. People (A majority of the local government, at least) have the right to.agree with each other on a government structure for themselves and can join hands to act jointly to govern themselves, and act in a way they feel "benefits themselves and humanity", so long as there is a respect for basic human rights.
I believe this is no small achievement by our group......there are many various government theories held by the many CT'ers here (Capitalism, Libertarianism, Democratic Marxism, etc.). Trying to put together agreed upon statements on this issue is worth something, and even deserves to be re-posted elsewhere to generate there discussion on this critical issue.

Fred, in his Post # 100, stated:
"Bob, if you want us to accept that these are "facts", please provide some examples of their existence."
The Conversation Format we are using here does not work this way.
The Statements are to be short and to be such that the proposer believes it is commonly accepted as fact. Thus it is assumed that there is much supportive evidence available, accepted by many. Thus the proposer does not have to provide evidence in support ("some examples of their existence"). Benefit of the doubt applies initially.
However, when a CT'er wants to propose a revision of the Statement, or outright rejection, then the burden falls on them to support their proposed changes by evidence.
At this point, the original Statement Proposer must then bring out the heavy weapons, and produce evidence that supports the statement, and shows that the proposed revisions are wrong.
Where there are no proposed revisions to Statements for a week, then this process is shown to have worked........no extra work for the Statement Proposer, since s/he was right that most know the evidence in support already.
