From the 1908 Democratic Platform:
“’Shall the people rule?’ is the overshadowing issue which manifests itself in all the questions now under discussion…”
The short-hand political perspective for Free Silver (in no particular order):
- Wisdom of the majority
- Need for social stability
- Existence of objective morality
- Importance of community
- Economic egalitarianism
All of these values are reflected in the posts on the main page – often in anti-libertarian, anti-objectivist, anti-elite rants – but I wanted an easily accessible place to spell them out.
