Re: [lojban-beginners] Words for Politics and Economics

[Remo Dentato <rdentato@gmail.com>]

While some of the words are fairly general, I feel some are very
specificy to US (like Democrat and Republican that, I guess, are the
US major parties).

Others seems to me very technical like "objectivism" (I have no idea
who Ayn Rand is!)

However I would love to see your first translations and start
discussing the options!  Probably the [jbofanva] group would be more
appropriate, though.

I would really love to see those words properly shaped in lojban.

remod.
