The term faction that is being discussed was defined in Federalist 10 by James Madison. There are two obvious examples of factions that not only deal with modern day issues, but are the majority of the sources. They are the Democratic and Republican parties. Both parties have different views on certain things, and both parties attract people that favor their decisions.
For example, the Democratic Party favors labor unions, minorities and progressive income taxes. The Republican Party favors a free market, limited power of the Government, and the protection of the environment.
As economic theory progressed from the early nineteenth century, it receded from the common-sense claim that the things people want are useful, which was still respected in the movement known as utilitarianism.
But then it was decided that an economist could not in good scientific conscience accept the claim that a thing was desired because it was useful; the most one could say is that it was thought useful or good. One can discover behaviorally that people prefer one thing or taste to another, as for example vanilla to chocolate, even though one cannot say scientifically that either of those common tastes is good in itself.
One can know better without knowing good. For the economist, it is more surely useful to know what people hold to be useful than whether they really have a grasp on something useful. Economic goods, however, are mostly truly good in a common sense way, even if they include trinkets and baubles that give pleasure to superficial minds.
In any case money is useful, and economics is pretty solid when it confines itself to money. The case is quite different when one moves into politics or the pseudo-politics of game theory, which was born outside political science but has come to be very tempting to political scientists.
In political science the preferences considered would include specific policies on late-term abortion, for example as well as general principles pro-life or choice. But in politics it is strange to describe such positions as mere preferences, for unlike vanilla and chocolate, they oppose each other.
It is as if vanilla lovers wanted to do away with chocolate instead of merely preferring it while still liking or tolerating another choice. Neither preference wants to prevail over the other because in principle they do not exclude the other. If a preference disappears, this is because it has been abandoned, like the horse and carriage, and there is no demand for it.
Political ideas disappear too, for example socialism, but that happens because it has lost the fight to prevail, not because it has harmlessly gone out of fashion. Vanilla and chocolate lovers do not disapprove of, or even dislike, each other, but Democrats and Republicans do. A preference does not need an argument, but a partisan contention does need one, indeed consists in one. A partisan contention wants to prevail over its opposite, but not merely to prevail in the sense of winning a game, winning once at the end of the game.
It wants to rule the whole society, including its opponent, and it wants to do so by imposing its rule, which means its set of rules. To rule is to rule by a principle that rules, by continuing to rule. Thus the pro-life or pro-choice contention wants not just a single victory but, like the victory of the pro-choice contention in Roe v.
Wade , one that establishes its principle as ruling the whole. A party is a part of the whole that wants to rule the whole. Its contention is a claim to rule, a justification of its rule against that of its opponent or opponents.
So a party is not playing a game with rules that both sides accept—though, when party government has arrived, it does contend within a constitution with an understanding that permits a change of parties. However, it is not yet entirely clear to what extent the equipment actually differs and whether the faction equipment plays a role at all.
After all, crafting is a guaranteed way to get the best equipment. Which group is the best? Basically, you have a free choice in New World, as all factions do not differ that much in terms of play.
