 :There is a major difference between merging all the projects related to Christianity in one WikiProject (which I am a member of, incidentally) and merging all the projects related to any type of political ideology into one WikiProject. I would really hope you realize that, because what you are suggesting is essentially akin to taking all the religion WikiProjects and merging them into one mega-project. There are a number of issues with doing that, as there are with politics projects. And yes, merging makes a project makes it subservient to the main project. Why else would you merge it if nothing changes? 
 :Incidentally, WP:OWN applies only to articles - WikiProjects are not articles. I've been very vocal about being willing to talk about, discuss, and implement changes, and have been taken up on that offer a total of once - the proposal, discouraging POV requests for comment, got my support, incidentally. The main issue here is that there has not been any sort of concrete example of issues or ideas - we get radical ideas like your merging proposal and an RfC, but no practical ideas on how to solve any issues.
