[lojban-beginners] Words for Politics and Economics

[Greendogo <pcm1123@gmail.com>]

So I checked some of the dictionaries floating about and I wasn't able
to find "words" to use in political discourse.  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:

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.  Have fun!
