Mattism

Hello, and welcome to my page! My ideology is Mattism. This ideology is representitive of the political views of the Polcompball Anarchy Wiki user. Mattism is a culturally left-wing, center-left, internationalist, and to a certain extent, globalist ideology. I'm a Progressive Social Democrat.

[[File:Unitary.png]] Government [[File:Federal.png]]
Government Structure I support a federal democracy with some centralization of government. Reforming American Democracy I believe we should reform American democracy as well and do away with things like the filibuster and electoral college. The popular vote of states should decide the president. Civic Liberalism State surveillance is a necessary evil, but to the extent it's necessary is questionable. I support revoking things like the patriot act as it should've never be passed to begin with. Also the surveillance state is cringe as well and needs to be scaled back.

[[File:Prgess.png]] Culture [[File:Prgess.png]]
Cultural Liberalism Cultural progression is inevitable and people should be able to do what they want as long as they're doing it in their own private property and aren't bugging anyone else as long as it's not morally questionable. Affirmative Action Affirmative Action is reverse discrimination and shouldn't be done. Nobody should have a job accepted or denied based off of factors they can't control. Same with things like diversity quotas and ect. These are one the things I hate about modern progressivism, there are better ways to go about this. Multiculturalism Nobody should be forced to assimilate into a culture. There should just be a shared language between everyone in the country. But besides that, people shouldn't conform if they don't want to. Morality Morality is subjective, and people who use things like "BuT mUh JuDeO-ChRiStIaN VaLuEs" can eat shit and fuck themselves, they're full of it entirely and I will live my life how I want to live it. That being said, I think there is some baseline people should subject themselves too, like not stealing shit and being a decent human being to others. I may be morally nihilistic, but I still think there's some purpose to life, what the purpose is what you make it. Secularization of Society The rising secularization of society is just the natural result of modernity and a net-positive as a whole for society, but shouldn't be forced through anti-theism, because that infringes on free-will and I'm very much against that. It should happen over time naturally like what's been happening over the years. Prisons Prisons need to be nationalized and justice rehabilitative. Death Penatly Cringe and needs to be outlawed. Slavery Reparations Completely unfeasible and shouldn't be considered. The Police The police should not be defunded, but there needs to be sweeping reforms to the institutions. Gun rights People should be allowed to own guns, but should have to go through things like backround checks, and there should be gun control. Feminism I support feminism, but I do not agree with everything. I find myself more identified with men's liberation, but still support feminism. Vaccine Mandates I'm not opposed mandating vaccines, but I also believe it's one's choice to get it or not. With that being said, I'm not against various restrictions to be put in place for people who refuse to get it. And if it's really bad then Mandating vaccines shouldn't even be up for debate. Bodily Autonomy I believe that one's own body is one's own choice to do with whatever they want to do with, so I'm very much against most restrictions on limiting bodily autonomy. LGBT Issues I support the sexual liberation of the LGBT community. To how many genders there are, I think transgender, intersex, and non-binary are valid, along with she/him they/them he/him pronouns, however, things like xenogenders and neopronouns are not valid because they were literally made to make fun of the LGBT community and make most of it look like a joke when in actuality most of the community is fairly chill. Do I think there are 84 genders or whatever? No, but there are definitely more than 2. Trans Issues Trans people should be treated as people and should be allowed to participate in things like sports. However, children shouldn't be allowed to transition until they are 18. Disability Issues I'm a strong advocate for this because I'm autistic myself. People with mental or physical disabilities should be seen as human and actively aided in society. Freedom of Speech Freedom of speech is protected and guaranteed, with that being said. Hate speech would mostly fall under freedom of speech as well. I'm not a free-speech absolutist but I support freedom of speech as long as it's not being used to abuse or harm others, via verbal abuse. But society cannot become too tolerant as the intolerant will destroy the tolerant, seen in countries like Germany in the 1930s.

[[File:Markets.png]] Economics [[File:Soc.png]]
Economics I support a mixed-economy. Progressive Tax System implementation The rich need to be taxed more, while I do think there is some benefit to having rich people, they are also a burden on the economy as well and do not benefit society enough considering the massive amounts of wealth they horde. The wealth needs to be redistributed to benefit the population as a whole. Unions Unions need to be encouraged in order to barter for worker's rights Anti-Trust and Monopoly Laws Monopolies need to strongly regulated and Anti-Trust laws need to be actively enforced to keep the market fair. Universal Health Care Needs to be implemented and would be funded through the Implemented progressive tax system Minimum Wage I support raising the Minimum wage to 15$ as it would be more beneficial in the long run, really, Minimum wage should follow inflation but we cannot raise it that high for reasons I feel as if should be obvious. The Welfare State The welfare state needs be expanded to combat inequality within society. Taxes will be raised to compensate for expanding the welfare state, but those taxes will go towards funding public services and greatly increasing the quality of said services. So overall you pay more taxes, but the investment is well worth it and averages out compared to living under austerity.

[[File:World.png]] Geopolitics [[File:World.png]]
Internationalism Being an internationalist, I support international unions like the EU and oppose nationalism. I see nationalism as selfish and a threat that will destabilize the very international organizations I support. Also brexit was a mistake and uber-cringe and the UK should work on joining back into the EU. The European Union As said before, The European Union is based and more countries should work on joining it. NATO I don't support NATO, it should be disbanded. However, I support a new alliance based on actual self-defense and not imperialism, as NATO is obsolete and no longer serves its purpose. More often than not NATO has funded things like terrorism so I'm against NATO as an alliance but not against the idea of an alliance between these nations. Foreign Policy I support a non-aggressive, peaceful diplomatic foreign policy. A completely pacifist foreign policy would be a disaster in the same way our current foreign policy in the US is also bad. The Military The military needs to be defunded and our military exercises drastically decreased. It is unsustainable and we should work on redirecting those funds to things that will actually help the population and not stuff the pockets of the military industrial complex. Afghanistan What happened in Afghanistan was tragic, but was bound to happen. We should've pulled out as soon as we got the guy we wanted and not wasted many generations of lives fighting a war that only benefited the military industrial complex. Israel and Palestine There shouldn't be a Palestine state or Israeli state. There should be a secular, democratic state, for both Palestinians and Israelis. Crimea Crimea rightfully belongs to Ukraine, the occupation of Crimea by Russia is completely illegal and violates international law. Korean Peninsula South Korea is the only legitimate Korea. China I'm pretty much opposed in all aspects to the Chinese Government, In a good world, the Taiwanese government should be in control of the main land and the CCP disposed of. Serbia and Kosovo Kosovo is an independent state, but should work on integrating with Albania so it can gain it's true independence, as the likely hood of it being fully recognized as an independent country is not high.

[[File:Laicism.png]] Religion [[File:Laicism.png]]
Views on Government I am in favor of separation of church and state, seeing as necessary for a free society to thrive. Things like Religious private schools would still be allowed to operate but public schools must at all costs remain secular. The US a country of many beliefs and no one belief should be favored by the government, which tends to happen in confessionalist style governments. I support taxing large mega-churches while leaving the small one's alone.

My own views on Religion It's all made up to be honest. I'm an atheist and don't believe in any of it nor did I really ever buy it as for the majority of my life I've been Agnostic. That being said. I'm against discrimination of people for their beliefs and look down upon people who shove their beliefs in people's faces whether it be theists or atheists. Just don't shove any beliefs down any people's throats (especially mine) and we will be on good terms.

[[File:Multicult9a.png]] Immigration [[File:Multicult9a.png]]
Rebuilding America's broken Immigration system America's Immigration is undoubtedly broken to say the least. We need to protect our border while easing the legal means of immigration into our country.

[[File:Fem.png]] Abortion [[File:Fem.png]]
Reproductive Rights I believe anyone has the right to an abortion and can get one for whatever reason. I also support funding planned parent hood and comprehensive sex education to reduce the amount of abortions.

[[File:ComputerBall.png]] The Internet [[File:ComputerBall.png]]
Internet Privacy I believe in strong Internet Privacy rights, corporations should be fined heavily when they break them. And government spying on the internet should be kept to a minimum. This includes repealing internet privacy acts that infringe civil liberties and only serve for unneeded surveillance that disproportionally benefit greedy companies and not the end user.

[[File:Protect.png]] Trade Policy [[File:World.png]]
Free Trade or Protectionism? My ideology supports free trade, but still recognizes the faults with free trade as well. I think countries shouldn't be reliant on local production nor the international market. But free trade is ultimately desirable, but may not be the best at the moment, we should be cautious of products coming from impoverished third-world countries with very poor workers rights, as international companies often abuse this.

[[File:Transh.png]] Technology [[File:Neolud.png]]
Transhumanism or Primitivism? I don't completely reject the idea of transhumanism, but I think it's kinda wacky and we shouldn't accelerate technological progress in order to save the environment. Mattism is still a technological ideology, but doesn't think things like transhumanism will be required for a long time and should make slow and very limited adjustments to the human body using technology.

[[File:Reformer.png]] Reform or Revolution [[File:Revolution.png]]
Reformism I support a peaceful transition into a social democracy via democratic reformist means

 * [[File:BeryAbLib.png]] Beryism - Our ideologies both share the same principles even if your economically cringe. Your also a really friendly user, one of the most pleasant people I've seen on this site. Atleast your a libertarian who doesn't seem to hate all leftists. So overall, you're about as based as a libertarian can be.
 * - You you could be slightly less statist and more progressive, but your economics are agreeable.
