[Marcus Marulus]

First of all, I am strongly opposed to the liberal democracy. It is a terribly flawed system which necessarily degenerates into plutocracy.

However, I am in favour of democracy (without that "liberal"). In the democratic system, as I conceive it, there would be no political parties. Political parties are entirely useless and harmful organizations, they are in fact legalized mafia. People should choose solely candidates at elections, not parties and lists. However, not anyone could become candidate for elections: there should exist a kind of assembly of elders, composed of the most prominent and respectful learned people of the country (say, 50 in number), to decide whether a candidate is suited to take part in the political life or not.

Economy would be based on distributism: there should be many small businesses and the state should make as easier as possible for people to acquire property. For example: the state should give up all taxes on land, so in order to build a house one should pay only the material (of course, rules for how to build a house should remain in vigour). It is much heathier for a family and for the nation as whole to live in a house than in the skyscraper. The best vaccine against monstruous ideas like Communism is people having their own property! Of course, those who have no ability to support themselves, should be granted minimum help, in order not to starve. Basic humanity and Christian justice requires not to let anyone die of hunger...The social state should be retained to a certain extent.

The economic life of the country would pursue the ideal of self-sufficiency, the principle of free trade should be discarded. Of course, I don't mean a wholesale isolation because it would be neither possible nor desirable in today's world. I mean every country should produce as many products as possible for its own sustenance and consume only domestic products. The importation would be limited only to those things that can in no way be produced in that country. Products of real life would take preference over the abstract value of money (as we have today).

Family values would be encouraged. The today's individualism should be condemned as an evil and anti-human ideology. The role models would not be, as it is today, "happy, smiling singles in their thirties", having fun and living for today, pursuing hedonistic and individualistic, basically destructive, life-style, behaving childishly and immaturely. Having children and being responsible family man/woman would be promoted. Of course, I don't say every family should have 10 children, like Africans do, but 3 or 4 (which is much better than the actual 0-1). Abortion would be banned and severly punished if done illegally. This would be part of the national policy because it is very important: European nations must be rejuvenated if they don't want to perish.
