Social contract

The social contract the the socio-political theory that people voluntarily exchange rights and freedom for the protection of stability by the government.

Shturmovik Party

While the Shturmovik Philosophy is generally anarchist and encourages self-governance of autonomous zones, most supporters also believe that strong government is necessary in urban areas. Autonomous zones already have a strict social order, although in many cases they enforce order without the intervention of the government. The size and density of cities makes it necessary to enforce government control. Part of the Shturmovik social contract dictates that people who have chosen the convenience of living in cities in a heavily interdependent lifestyle have voluntarily given up some of their rights that they would have in an autonomous zone in exchange for having an easy life in the city. Shturmoviks also believe that it is necessary to control the urban bourgeoise since their lifestyle can easily lead to decadence and hedonism and cause the same sort of social collapse that was happening prior to the Shturmovik Revolution and on Nordic planets. They believe that authority is necessary for the urban bourgeoise because without it they will naturally tend toward hedonism and they will engage in undisciplined and pleasure seeking behaviors that will ultimately be harmful to them.

Menshevik Party

The Mensheviks believe that any social contract is wrong and they want all morality to be socially enforced. In some situations they support urban centralized law enforcement for dealing with uncontroversial crimes such as theft.

Bolshevik Party

Most Bolsheviks believe that almost all rights lead to infringements on the rights of others and all rights must be heavily regulated and the idea of freedom is inherently selfish. They strongly support limitation of rights in order to be protected by the government. However, they don't approve of the ways in which the Shturmovik Party limits the rights of conservatives through the enforcement of morality.
