[X][IDEALS] Socialist: Having come to refer to a specific political movement rather than an entire branch of ideology, modern socialism is focused on giving the state the power to care for allcitizens, and claims that the modern Social Democrat platform does not go far enough in pursuit of this. It also calls for a massive investment into healthcare in order to revitalize the field and make sure that there are enough medical professionals to go around (long-term, they want free healthcare, but there needs to be enough of it first). They also grant unions extensive privileges over private employers. They are fervently in favor of democratized workplaces, and openly campaign in favor of granting them special concessions.
[X][IDEALS] Communist: The old revolutionary ideology has elected to push for their aims in the democratic process. Their modern platform, in this setting, is centered around the absolute implementation of workplace democracy in addition to the same welfare and legal measures proposed by other movements. The aims of the American Communists in the present day are to break the concept of private ownership of businesses, which places them in stark opposition to Capitalist and Social Democrat thought of this era. This is a part of a larger drive towards a transition to a fully Communist society, but the Communists have quite enough to be focused on at the moment and are leaving that aside.
[X][CRUSH] None. This is a democracy. If your ideology cannot make its case to the people in practice, it deserves to fail.
[X][POWER] You are a centralized federal state along the lines of the later United States.
[X][TEXT] The Constitution was utterly bereft of any kind of legal, political, or ethical merit and shall be cast into the trash heap of history where it belongs. We shall start anew from a blank slate.
[X][REVIEW] The new Constitution should be put to review and possible revision every thirty years.
The economics vote is just my personal preference leaking through, as well as my belief that the normal benefits of a capitalist economy for industrialization a la China probably won't work for us because I don't know where we can get foreign investment from. Russia is a hostile power, the NCR needs to industrialize itself even moreso, the nearest trade ports are New York and Miami, who are surrounded by Victoria and pure chaos respectively. This means we unfortunately are going to have to be mostly self-sufficient for some time, and as such I see no real advantage to keeping capitalist economics.
On Crush, well, LET FREEDOM RING MOTHERFUCKERS. I don't see any reason why we should restrict democracy if actions will be taken against Victorians no matter what. Capitalists are Americans too, and every American deserves a vote.
For Federalization, well, I've always been a sucker for federations, and kinda like the current US federal system. As long as this doesn't replicate the Senate, federalism is 100%the way to go when dealing with a landmass the size of North America.
For the constitution, I would prefer to use the US one as a base, but the revolutionary option would be fine as well.
2ND CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION TIME.
I kind of like the idea of constitutional review though, and it gives us room to change our minds on stuff later.
