I love learning about 'side' parties and just happened to stumble upon the Nihilist Party

Reasons to secede from the United States:

- abortions for everyone.
- instead of spending $500 from the average California taxpayer on virginity classes in Texas, spend it on something fun in California.
- bring our soldiers back from Iraq so they can defend California from the hegemonic United States military.
- no Christian Taliban in Washington telling us how bad we are.
- California universal medical insurance gives our businesses an advantage over businesses in other states.
- develop an energy policy that involves more than drilling in Alaska.
- a legalized California marijuana industry provides high quality product to the world.
M marriage for gays only. Straight couples have the same legal rights if they register, but no kissing in public.
- eminent domain only to be used to take WalMart buildings for low cost housing and abortion clinics.
- support for scientists who actually experiment and find out stuff.
- no tax breaks for children, churches or SUV’s.
- oil company and church tax revenues will provide free college educations for all Californians.
- friendly relations with Cuba and Venezuela provide Californians with good cigars, a safe oil supply, and Carribean vacations.
- California Supreme Court justices Angela Davis and Jon Stewart.
- new speed limit, 180 miles per hour.


Too bad I don't live in California, I'd actually vote for the guy.


Am I the only one that finds this Party funny? They do make some good points through, through humor.

Sounds familiar to the British Official Monster Raving Looney Party.

Monster Raving Looney party mocked the institution, but they focussed on absurdism to do it. Most of what the nihilist party seems to say is good, and what isnt is obviously a bit of a joke.

Despite their approaches to straight-kissing..I am sure you could argue against them legally with a slight philosophical foundation. they are great.

I think the joke was that we allow gays to have civil unions, but in some places shun them for showing affection.

They are jsut flipping it around, kinda show us how unfair it is.

But Abortions for everyone? uh oh, I am part of everyone, then I have to get an abortion. Damn, this could get messy, what with my unsuitable anatomy and pregnancy-challenged status and all.

Nihilist Party? That almost seems like a paradox of some sort.

It seems quite amusing though some of their ideas seem ok and progressive compared to what's been going on with the US.

Where I live we have the Pirate party - it battles government/corporate surveillance and fights for the right to upload/download all kinds of movies/audio from the internet. The difference is - here new parties actually do have a chance - while in the US it is... pointless.

That's what I also thought when I saw this thread.

They have some excellent ideas though! :D
