Socialism / Egalitarianism (ideology)

Socialism or Egalitarianism as a guild ideology emphasizes the equality of players and thus characters in the guild. Socially, every member is recognized as a person playing as a character (a player), and not merely as a toon. For every person is given an equal opportunity, representation, and recognition in and of the guild.

Concerning choice of profession, an egalitarian view sees no profession as superior to another, although their different functions allow different opportunities, such as the major differences between combatants and non-combatants. Most cases of professional inequality have been due to the favoring of combatant classes over non-combatant classes, as with Bulata Lightstar's loss of rank due to being an Entertainer in DarkLords, but also with his rebellion after unsuccessfully petitioning its Sith Council (made up entirely of the Jedi profession) for another seat of power for other combatants (the Gunman Council), and yet another for non-combatants like himself. Not long after leaving DarkLords, Bulata received news that Liverm, with whom he quarreled with, then leader of -DL-, approved the creation of a Gunman Council.
