Alliance of the North

I'm curious about whether this is/was a socred party http://wayback.archive-it.org/227/20170205220709/http://www.alliancedunord.ca/aden.html - I haven't found much info that wasn't on their website but the party colour was green and their platform on Money and Banking was "Money and Banking: The Alliance will launch a criminal investigation on Banks" which sounds like something that be Socred influenced. It was a Quebec party - so would something like the Ligue of St. Michel have talked about them - or would anyone be aware if he ever stated any connection or influence? Unfortunately I don't know French so I'm kind of limited in my research on this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cyndane5 (talk • contribs) 05:52, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Chinese Social Credit Ranking System

C.H. Douglas Social Credit is in no way related to the Chinese Social Credit ranking system, and whoever keeps adding links to the article and removing my changes that make this point in the article, please stop, or I will report this as vandalism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chdouglas (talk • contribs)

Lead neutrality/rewrite

Hello,

I believe the lead for this article veers from the intended purpose of the lead. According to the MoS, the lead should succinctly summarize the topic in a basic, clear, and accessible manner. It should also be concise, and include controversies if applicable. Given that this article's lead fails to clearly define social credit, includes a number of flowery quotes from Douglass, discusses a number of facts more suitable for the "History" section, and fails to include detractors of social credit, I believe a rewrite of the lead is in order. I believe a new lead should begin by defining social credit, then briefly discuss how and why social credit was theorized, then elaborate on what social credit entails, and finally touch upon its reception with both positive and negative views on the matter. Thoughts?

And your lead is now incorrect. The encyclopedia Brittanica is a horrible source for this material. That's why I sourced original material. I'm certainly not against working with you to improve the article in any way, but the changes must be correct. I already went through a major change in the lead paragraphs, and a major battle over "neutrality". Again, I don't mind improvements to the article, but won't have the material vanadalized to promote a non-neutral view on Social Credit, which is what happened before under the guise of "neutrality". I spent too much time writing this article and sourcing it to have people use the Encyclopedia Britannica as a source. In fact, it was the inaccuracy of encyclopedia articles like the Encyclopedia Brittanica that prompted me to write this article in the first place.Chdouglas (talk) 19:48, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have adjusted the wording of your lead slightly in order to make it correct. Have a look at it.

Social Credit and Modern Monetary Theory

As a layman, MMT and Social credit look quite similar to me. I am not the only one who thinks so.

I'm not qualified to say the extent to which they're similar or dissimilar... but since we have CH Douglas himself editing this page, maybe he can tell us? Risingrain (talk)... Why it matters 10:47, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Giving Credibility to a Crank

The wording of this article is lending too much credibility to a Lyndon LaRouche-style charlatan. Every Econ textbook will tell you that the value of all the goods and services produced in the economy is equal to all the wages, rents, profits, royalties, and interest paid out in the economy. And when we look at Douglas' anti-semitism, we can clearly see we are dealing with a nut. This should clearly be labelled as "pseudoscience". 108.20.239.35 (talk) 13:38, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
