Analysis of Potential Party Name
Comment below to add your thoughts concerning this prospective political party name.
History
Established in 1884, but later replaced by the Greenback Party. Newton Booth was elected to the California senate (1875-1881) as an Anti-Monopoly candidate and Benjamin Shively to the US Congress from Indiana’s 13th district (1883-1885). Benjamin Butler was nominated to run for president in 1884 and received 175,350 votes.
MERITS
Breaking up Monopolies in the United States at this time is essential for putting an end to the plutocracy we’ve become.
DRAWBACKS
Outside of its already having been used, restoration of representative government and rule by the people will require far more than the break up of monopolies.
