I'm in favour of all three tags. I don't see what we would have to lose by putting up communist and anarchist. I believe everyone here knows that we try to appeal to the broad left, and if we even gain one person through the use of those tags it would be a success. |

I personally think that one person wanting the communist tag is enough for there to be a "demand", so to speak. So I'm now in favour as well. |

+1 for all the tags. IF anyone was proposing "communist" and ONLY "communist" I would disagree, but we are, as many stated, an all-left region. Be it commies, socdem, anarchos or anything else. |

I fully support the eco-friendly tag, as well as the proposal to bring our region closer to environmentally conscientious regions! ![]() My only concern about adding the communist tag is that it unduly gives weight to that particular form of leftist ideology over others (even though we all know we would add more if NS allowed more nuance). I like that we are not exclusively communist since it allows for more of a plurality of thought. If there is widespread support for that tag, however, I am not adamantly opposed to it. Another thing to consider is that it will put a slightly larger target on our backs with regard to raiders; but I don't know how serious a risk that is for a region of our size. |

In favor of an ecofriendly tag; neutral on a communist tag; against an anarchist tag. I don't feel like anarchist represents the region well enough to be tagged. Edited by Transalpine Republic, 7 Jan 2014, 22:21.

It is perceptively because of the lack of nuance of the NS tags that I thing it should be included. Since we are a region that is open to all leftists I think we need to use all the few tags the game provides in order to signal this to potential members. When it comes to attracting raiders I don't think there is any risk at the moment. We have a huge number of endorsements on the WAD and an active founder we are a most unappealing target, I would say. Even TI with its many enemies did not come under attack, and the delegate there had just ~60 endorsements, compared to our 108. And if we would ever to become founderless and decay in terms of population then our tags would not really matter. General raiders will target any region that can be attacked, regardless of tags, and right-wing raiders would attack us just for having "Socialist" in our region's name.So what tags we have wouldn't make a difference in my opinion. |

Well, I'm fairly satisfied that we agree on "Eco-Friendly", so I'll go add it. Let's leave this open a little while longer for "Communist". |

I'm against both the Communist tag and the Anarchist tag. The eco-friendly tag is overdue, in my opinion. Communism requires a lot of government interference or, alternatively, reduces society down to small communes - greatly reducing the standard of living. I don't think it will really work. Anarchy creates a 'fair' society in that survival of the fittest suddenly re-emerges. I think that makes it completely incompatible with socialist ideals. Protection of minorities, security against disasters, organized healthcare, etc. - it's all gone in Anarchy. Either that, or capitalism reigns supreme.

I'm not sure how to move forward with this. While the Anarchist tag has is clearly opposed by most members, the results for the Communist tag are quite ambiguous. |
