SOL Corp’s symbolic animal is the lion. We are not prone to undo outrage, and we are not the monsters of myth. We are lions. We protect our pride, take what we deserve, and never cower away from an unjust fight.
The Social Occupation Libertarian Party was instrumental in the creation and building of the orbital elevator that allows for the efficient construction of orbital platforms, space stations, and spaceships in Earth’s high orbit. After the elevator’s completion, SOL Corp was founded to make use of tariffs placed on goods launched into high orbit. Thus began the glorious spacefaring history of this unofficial US government entity!
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
-Thomas Jefferson
The first part of our party name is Social. As in Socialist. Yes -Socialist. Why: because we like roads that allow us to travel to work in cars; because we like bridges that allow us to cross rivers on the way to work; because we like water mains and sewers that are buried underground; because we like toll-less highways that allow safe, effective travel across these United States; because we like airports that allow us to fly around this country at speed; because we like ports that allow us to bring new products into this country, but more importantly –we like ports that help us ship our products overseas. And we also like levies that don’t fail. You know, Socialism.
The second part of our party name is Occupation. While we empathize with ideals the “Occupy” movement held, we also fully understand that they didn’t accomplish anything. Occupying a park didn’t help anyone. We are sorry, but that’s the hard truth. Wallstreet still needs to be reined in. Why? Because they’ve made trillions of dollars in useless, greedy profit while their countrymen were being thrown out into the streets. So if that is your definition of business, then yes -we are anti-business. In 2012, the bottom 60% of the American people do not own 60% of America’s wealth. And we don’t own 50%. And we don’t own 40%. Not 30%. Not 20%. Not even 10%. Not 9%, Not 8%, Not 7%, Not 6%, Not 5%, Not 4%, Not 3%. Today in the United States of America -the bottom 60% (over 180 Million People) only own 2% of America’s wealth. 2 percent. 2. T-w-o. Not one, not three, two. The bottom 60% of America of only owns TWO. PERCENT. OF AMERICA’S WEALTH. (statistic credit: Senator Bernie Sanders)
That is class warfare in action. We are again serfs, economically bowed by the thrones of plutocrats.
But if Wall Street thinks we’re going to “eat cake” this time, then they don’t know us very well.
Guess what? The SOL party does want to spread the wealth around. And we aren’t going to stop until we’re full.
In short: if we had been at “Occupy Wallstreet”…we would have Actually. Occupied. Wallstreet.
The final part of our party name is Libertarian. We are Libertarian regarding personal rights. We think that neither the church nor the government has any place dictating what one does with their genitalia on the weekends. No one does but you. And within reason, no person, political party, or public policy should ever invade that most primordial of liberties. We also believe in drug policy doesn’t criminalize sick people. Cannabis sativa has more medical uses than alcohol, cigarettes, or even aspirin; and in the history of human society, Cannabis sativa has directly killed less than 10 people. Aspirin however, has killed 600 times that number so far in 2012. So do you still think that law makes sense?
Us either
1. We answer to “the S-O-L” and “Sol” (as in our sun), for short.
2. Our inspiration:
“History does not entrust power to the weak or the timid.”

“You can’t regulate evil.”
-Michael Moore
“I never saw a tax cut put out a fire.”
-Rep. Barney Frank

3. SOL Corp’s symbolic animal is the lion. We are not prone to undo outrage, and we are not the monsters of myth. We are lions. We protect our pride, take what we deserve, and never cower away from an unjust fight.
4. Our song is this, “Ballad of the Lion”. [credit: Game of Thrones].
“ And who, are you, the proud lord said,
that I must bow so low?
Only a cat, of a different court,
that’s all the truth I know.
In a coat, of gold, a coat of red,
a lion still has claws.
And mine, are long, and sharp my lord,
as long and sharp as yours.
…
And so we spoke…
And so we spoke…
That lord that asked, my kneel.
But now the rains, weep o’er his hall,
with no, one there, to hear.
Yes, now the rains, weep o’er his hall,
and not, a soul, to hear. “ .
6. Our symbol is the sun, which warms all people equally.
7. Last but not least, our political methodology:
We will caucus with anyone. We will talk with anyone. We’ll even reach an agreement with most. But if you’ve come looking for a fight: you are So Out-of Luck… because we will fuck you up.
