The factions are deeply split on the individualism/communitarianism issue:
CLs: There is no such thing as society.
PBPs: I built this!
CDs: Society is a pact of the dead, the living, and the unborn.
Reactionaries: The whole point of government is to impose traditional values by force.
This generally results in the communitarians getting their way on social issues, and the CLs and PBPs on economic issues. With the Democrats, it goes the other way.
