Buddhist Post-Mutualism

Buddhist Post-Mutualism believes in workers' ownership and opposes the accumulation of resources among a narrow elite, striving for a more cooperative and content society. Recognizing the challenge in implementing a truly democratic system right now, he believes philosophical critiques of our current economic system will help people conceive of happier alternatives for work and life. He believes Buddhism and libertarian socialism offer optimistic visions for the future.

Personality
He tries to maintain a zen calm, but still hasn't figured out how to stop losing his shit at fascists. He's patient and kind, seeking to build understanding and cooperation, but sometimes he gets too wrapped up in theory.
