Eagle Party Principles
The Third Lane
This isn't libertarianism. This isn't democratic socialism. This is a third lane.
Three Defining Moves
1. Libertarian Core (Free Markets, Kill Rent-Seeking)
- Ban coercive state-backed moats (student debt credit-scarring, facility fees, zoning cartels)
- Price externalities bluntly (wealth floor tied to outcomes)
- Open entry, transparency, competition
2. Social-Democratic Outcomes (Shared Prosperity)
- Universal floor for health, education, retirement, safety
- Citizen Equity Trust → everyone gets capital income, not just wages
- Wealthiest still pay, but through outcome-based dials, not central price czars
3. Technocratic Objectivity (Post-Ideological KPIs)
- Measure everything in years of labor for existential goods
- Tie elite incentives directly to reducing homicide, debt, corruption
- Let citizens own the upside of automation and AI
What To Call It
- Not libertarianism: We're not saying "abolish Social Security" - we're saying "fund it fairly, make it solvent, cut labor rates."
- Not socialism: We're not nationalizing corporations - we're making public listing the lowest-friction path and letting citizens own index slices.
- Advanced free-market constitutionalism
- Post-libertarian pragmatism
- Citizen capitalism
- Grown-up libertarianism - libertarianism that learned the rent-seekers always hijack "small government" unless you design blunt counterweights
The Physics of Policy
The danger is getting framed as ideology. The opportunity is to make it post-ideological, metric-anchored.
Not the politics of it. The physics of it.
Whether red or blue, Nordic or East Asian, markets or welfare states - the metrics are universal. Years of labor to shelter, to educate, to retire, to stay alive.
