I made a list of several words I'd like to know the Lojban equivalents for, including some basic English nouns and words used to refer to people of different political leanings: Politics Economics Democrat Republican Libertarian/libertarianism Liberal Conservative Socialist Statist Liberty Freedom Slavery Property Rights (natural rights) Rights (guaranteed rights) tax/taxation democracy republicanism capitalism communism socialism fascism dictatorship monarchy anarchy minarchism anarcho-capitalism union (i.e. workers' union or teachers' union) objectivism (pre-Ayn Rand variety) Objectivism (Ayn Rand variety) Tribalism currency fiat-currency commodity stock stock market bond stock broker recession depression (economic variety) boom-bust cycle inflation deflation bubble (economic variety) embargo tariff sanction corruption monopoly military military-industrial complex industry business corporation population citizen migrant immigrant nation/country/state nationalism patriotism spy treason/traitor border war civil war revolution/revolt terrorism trade enemy ally navy army air force soldier propaganda subterfuge president senator representative congressman parliament general king/queen dictator emperor/empress sovereign chieftain prime minister wanker constitution bill act amendment political party partisanship vote pluralism oligarchy bureaucrat/bureaucratic/bureaucracy rule law regulation reform repeal Alright, I tried to come up with everything I could that wasn't too far away from the subject of politics and economics. I thought of adding things in like nazi-ism or maoism, but they seemed to be too specific for this beginning list. I'm sure there's more, so feel free to add in translations for words you think of on your own that fit the topic. I know talking about politics on a forum is just asking for trouble, so please don't get into any arguments about what's the best political philosophy or anything like that if you can avoid it. If you have a translation for one of the words up above, you might also break it down to show why the word is what it is, if applicable, but it isn't necessary. Politics and language are my two great loves, so it would be nice to have the words for my favorite subjects to talk about while learning Lojban, hence the purpose of this thread.
