I like the idea, but you need to work on the name. The Anti-Corporatist Party isn't going to get it done.
Agreed. Any suggestions?
not enough in common.
libertarians solution to too much money in politics is to end all regulations making it so there is no way to end or curtail the money controling our government and everything else.
What??

Civil libertarianism is a strain of political thought that supports civil liberties, or which emphasizes the supremacy of individual rights and personal freedoms over and against any kind of authority (such as a state, a corporation, social norms imposed through peer pressure, etc).[1] Civil libertarianism is not a complete ideology; rather, it is a collection of views on the specific issues of civil liberties and civil rights. Because of this, a civil libertarian outlook is compatible with many other political philosophies, and civil libertarianism is found on both the right and left in modern politics.[2]
The primary concern of the civil libertarian is the relationship of the government to the individual. The civil libertarian seeks, in theory, to restrict this relationship to an absolute minimum in which the state can function and provide basic services and security without excessively interfering in the lives of its citizens. One key cause of civil libertarianism is upholding free speech. Specifically, civil libertarians oppose bans on pornography, hate speech, and obscenity. Although they may or may not personally condone behaviors associated with these issues, civil libertarians hold that the advantages of unfettered public discourse outweigh all disadvantages.[citation needed]
In the light of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, civil libertarians are also concerned over the state of personal liberties and freedoms in the face of increased national security.[citation needed]
Other civil libertarian positions include support for at least partial legalization of illicit substances (marijuana, etc.), a strong demarcation between religion and politics, and, more recently, support for gay marriage. The most prominent civil libertarian organization in the United States today is the American Civil Liberties Union.[citation needed]
In the past 20 years, with the advent of personal computers, the Internet, email, cell phones, and other information technology advances, a subset of civil libertarianism has arisen that focuses on protecting individuals digital rights and privacy. The organization most closely affiliated with this sort of civil libertarianism is the Electronic Frontier Foundation.[citation needed]I'd like to discuss the possibility of some kind of coalition party focusing on the common interests of groups currently ignored by the major parties. I'm specifically interested in the overlapping concerns of libertarians (and libertarian leaning conservatives) and OWS progressives. Is there enough common cause between the two groups? Would such a group offer a viable alternatives the status quo parties?
Here's a list of what I see as areas of common interest, and areas of disagreement. What do you all think? Please add to the list if you see anything else.
Agreement:
- Opposition to corporate/government collusion. (corpoare welfare etc...)
- Opposition to the warfare state
- Support for individual rights
Possible points of contention:
- Welfare state
- Economic freedom
Obviously, there are more. Any thoughts?
Democrats understand that what is best for the country is "Government, Corporations, and Universities" working together. That's when good things happen.
Opposition to corporate/government collusion? This is the problem with that and how Democrats and Republicans think different.

Uhmmm---
I am for some "corporate/government collusion" such as corporate/organizational welfare when lack of it threatens our economic progress or social stability.
How about the Independence party? Signifying a break from the status quo and at the same time hearkening back to the Declaration of Independance. It might also appeal to those who call themselves Independants.
