Lovers of Modernity Party (LMP)


I would like to propose a party that makes a clear cut with the past and embraces the present, temporal existence. LMP recognizes that change is not merely inevitable, but it has to be embraced continually.


This would mean that there really cannot be any defined points in the form of a manifesto. However, a charter that doesn?t undercut the inherent inspiration of the party follows:


1. LMP sees the present as great improvement over the past. Despite the reckless behavior of humanity the past century, there is plenty to be pleased about.

2. All LMP members vow that they will happily accept improvements to their present thoughts and action and will not perpetuate any ideologue or ideology if it doesn?t correlate with the greatness of today(1).

a. LMP sees the three freedoms of Hazrat JS Mill (RA)(2) as a good starting point. These include, but are not limited to:

i. Freedom to think what you like

ii. Freedom to act according to your
wishes

iii. Freedom to associate with anyone including having physical relationships with anyone you like

iv. The above three points come with the condition ?as long as you do not physically harm anyone else.?

3. LMP doesn?t recognize any divisions based on religion, caste, creed, gender or sexual orientation ? in fact, all such divisions, if taken seriously, are openly ridiculed.

4. LMP members look up to artists ? rap and rock stars, actresses and actors, and authors who write fiction as relevant role models

5. LMP recognizes that we only have one life and thus it celebrates popular culture -while at the same time promoting safe sex, semi-regulation of illegal drugs, and masturbation(3)

a. Any future activity that brings pleasure without physically harming another

6. Recognizing that females make up half the world population, LMP advocates the motto ?Women on top!? and as such, consecutive elections for party leadership cannot result in consecutive males or females winning back to back. Leadership has to transfer to a gender(4) of a different orientation than that of before.

7. The Charter points can be changed but only after 2/3 of the members from a minimum of 10 members) decide so. However, of those 2/3 voting for change, half must be of a different sexual orientation.

8. Footnotes are part of the charter
----------------------------------- ----------------------

Footnotes:

(1) -- As the charter correlates with the three freedoms of Hazrat JS Mill (RA), LMP will celebrate his ideas as long as they are consistent with the changing times. LMP members will discard them in case they conflict with the modernity of tomorrow.

(2) -- LMP members need not reserve titles for anyone. Hazrat JS Mill (RA) can freely be called JS Mill, the Bad Asc Mother-Fucckker, as LMP refuses to recognize distinctions as final.

(3) -- There will not be any regulation in this activity. Though it must be added that the beauty of modernity has provided us with excessive outlets which should not be ignored.

(4) -- Those not willing to classify themselves as ?Male? or ?Female? are duly recognized by LMP as neither ?Male? nor ?Female?. LMP accepts whatever they classify themselves. Thus they can contest party leadership elections both after a ?Male? or ?Female? step down.

Ms. Fairytale, thank you for allowing me the opportunity to answer these queries. They are highly relevant and valid. I am glad you asked. Thanks you again. (cough, cough). Modernity is hard to define. But let us just say that it's the embracing of change. Not merely a reaction to change, but a seeking of change. Traditions and age old customs take a back seat in the face of life's bottlenecks. We are of course and outgrowth of our past. But we feel that many of the past ideas have unecessarily been set in stone. We will break those stones! 2) yes, you can also think what you don't like. LMP sees nothing wrong in that. Some illustrious members of LMP also engage in this practice. And yes, just as you have the freedom to associate it also necessarily implies that you have the freedom to leave relationships. 3) if religion seeks to place limitations, LMP will stand by its ideals. religion is part of tradition and though we completely respect the individual's choice to bow to the dictates of religion, we cannot accept religion being forced down on any individual. It can only be a matter of personal choice. As far as the point about making a clean break with the past, LMP feels that it is a must to have an eye catching slogan- a heart stopping theme. A cut with the past was just that. The theme catches you as you see that so many people are held hostage to past dictates - and have no choice in it! Non-fiction writers are also decent folks and hard working human beings. Some have inpspiring tales. But fiction writers have greater imagination. And that is always a good thing. On Point 7) Yes, it does clash. However, some LMP members felt that we cannot live in a dreamy world and need to put in place some revolutionary principles to make these ideals lasting.......Ms. Fairytale, I hope your questins have been satisfactorily answered. If there are any more, please let us know. In the end I would like to say: VOTE LMP!!

1. Will the LMP please define 'modernity'? Is it everything about the present or 'all improvements over the past'? Does it stop at the present or does it take into account the effects of the presently taken decisions/actions on the future?
2. i.'freedom to think what you like' ..Don't we all? and what happens to my freedom to think what i dont like? No.iii needs an extension of 'freedom to disassociate..'. 3. What happens in a case where a religion clashes with most of the points in your charter? Another point. LMP becomes very divisive by default when it defines itself on the basis of the division between the past and the present instead of taking it as a natural progression with no clearcut boundaries.4. Why only those? e.g are non-fiction authors not modern enough or are a thing of the past? Or have they not shown enough improvement over the past? Point no.7 is too restrictive in nature and clashes badly with the FREEDOM motto.

Dear members of The Parliament: LMP must say that RRP (lead by As851) has quite a devious streak. Here is an underhanded attempt at ridiculing many of LMP's left wing with their stance on issues like affirmative action and the extreme measure of reparations. But no, LMP will not shy away from these angled accusations! Here is what we have to say: While the past is history, and we stand by our progressive causes based on individual endeavor and initiative, from the stand point of a government, a level playing field needs to be created and maintained for all individuals. One section of society need not get better funding in basic education than another for example. Unfortunately this does happen. For example, in the great country of America, and the great states of Alabama and Mississippi, there exist 8 of America's ten poorest counties. Why this monopolization of poverty? What were the causes (are the causes still present?)? Most importantly, what can be done to correct them today? It was only in the year 2000 that the great state of Alabama, through a refrendum, allowed interacial marriages! LMP finds that race relations are unecessarily restrained. The left wing of the party immortalizes the great Paraguayan dictators (the leadership of the party doesn't agree with their suppport of dictators) of the 19th century who implemented revolutionary changes in which you could ONLY marry inter-racially. Those of European stock could ONLY marry local Indians or Blacks and vice versa. Along with this, in no time, because of the revolutionary policies, the country ended up having the highest education rate in the world. Of course, the neighbors (Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay) didn't like these extremely radical experiments going on in their backyard so a war was declared in which 90% of the population of Paraguay was wiped out. What is to be learned from this brief historical incident? It is that the past and its historical injustices are not to be blamed. You can easily do something about it. If you have leadership (preferably democratic one) with a vision (like LMP's), historical injstices can be corrected very quickly - for example healing race relations or imparting equal education opportunities to all. The other lesson, the extreme right wing of LMP would like to point out is that while revolutionary experiments are very very cool, you should try to keep your neighbors happy.

I believe adjustments can be made via after thorough comparisons are made....individuals have a right to dissent and disagree...unforutnatly it seems you do not allow that due to Rationalists League's facist tendencies....

Foxglove: Whereas illegal substances will not be banned, as individual choice to abuse them is a product of freedom, through semi-regulations, before a substance abuser purchases a drug through the local pharmacy, he/she can be asked to sign whether he she wants to be treated in the event he/she becomes a self-destructive compulsive addict. Treatment should be undertaken as each individual, no matter how bad a druggie, has value, and society has invested in him/her. Please join LMP. Thanks

Foxglove: Yes. You are right. Freedom has to have some strings. And those are amicably captured with the term 'as long as you do not physically harm another.' Pyschological harms are significant. But they can be overcome if we as individuals learn to accept others views and behaviors. At the center, we are all the same. The spirit of rebellion is more often than not a reaction to the prevalent conformist notions. And rebels often wreck pyschological havoc in society. But they usually have a catharsis life effect. So it's a good thing. As for a ruling class, such an unacceptable entity only emerges when the individual spirit is weak. In the presence of a brave free spirit, attmepts to initiate dynasties are negated.
