Geoliberal socialism

Geoliberal socialism is the ideology of justantherprimate. It is civically liberal, economically left, and culturally progressive. He believes that the ideas of liberalism and Georgism will work better in a market socialist society.

State & Democracy
Geoliberal socialism defends a Liquid & Participative democracy, a semi-presidential republic, and Democratic federalism. he believes that the problems of the current democracy will be solved by increasing citizens' ability to have a real say in the topics they care about. It is also flexible and realistic. he supports federalism or a highly decentralized unitary government because it's the fairest most efficient way to run a government, also states or regions should follow a bioregional logic.it also supports open source & digital government ideas, such as the Estonian zero-bureaucracy.

Economics
Economically, Geoliberal socialism advocates for Keynesian/ordoliberal economics within a socialist market-based system with a focus on economic democracy. This system will resemble a Pluralist commonwealth.

Ownership
According to Geoliberal socialism, private ownership (especially of the means of production) is a violent, coercive hierarchy that limits the potential of markets and the economy because it is a monopoly thus it hampers allocative efficiency. Also, it leads to private appropriation of property income, such income is generated by the working class, but it's stolen by the owner of property even though they didn't put any effort nor contribution, there before this institution is inherently exploitative.

Consequently, in aims to improve society, He proposes: 1.-Public/common ownership in some sectors Geoliberal socialism believes in the nationalization of land & natural resources. Following Georgist principles, profits from rent, owning will be socialized through taxation in the case of land, effectively making land Public. Also, the extraction of Natural resources will be slightly monopolized by Nationalized enterprises. But profits of the private cooperative sector by the extraction of natural resources will be socialized through taxation So Land & Natural resources will be commonly owned

Also, other natural monopolies, services that all of society relies on, or have inelastic demand, should be publicly owned and run without concern for profit. These publicly-owned bodies would be democratic, independent, advised by guilds of specialists, and will have highly participative components in which workers, consumers, and stakeholders (like communities near a mine) will have a say. These sectors will be Publicly owned or have a public character:
 * Electric grid
 * Water and sanitation systems
 * Railways & interregional transportation services
 * Local transportation services (run by a local authority)
 * Postal service
 * Health service

2.- Cooperative ownership of the means of production Geoliberal socialism aims to fully socialize the means of production, either by slow reform or a "democratic revolution".Cooperative enterprises will make up the majority of economic activity and employment in the market. Small and medium-sized enterprises will be allowed to remain or be created as private, though only if they certify as “B-corps”. B-corp is a certification that ensures a standard of social and environmental responsibility in addition to a minimum level of horizontality and workplace democracy if these regulations are broken the business will be closed. in the meantime Co-determination, Profit sharing, Employee stock ownership, and other methods that give more power to the workers will be encouraged. 3.-the common ownership of ideas (pirate politics) the abolition of intellectual property, and the replacement of patents with prizes.

Taxation
Geoliberal socialism wants to implement a tax shift from the current taxes to: 3 main types of taxes: redistributive tax, ecotaxes/Georgist, sin taxes.

1.-redistributive tax:
 * Wealth tax:
 * inheritance tax:
 * harberger tax:
 * automated payment transaction tax + bank tax:
 * social tax(income):
 * data tax:

2.-ecotaxes/Georgist:
 * land value tax:
 * carbon tax:
 * natural-resource consumption tax:
 * point-source toxic/water/air pollution tax:

3.-sin tax:
 * fat tax:
 * sugar tax:
 * alcohol tax:
 * Cigarette tax:
 * meat tax:

the majority of tariffs will be eliminated and replaced by Eco tariffs

Macroeconomic & Monetary Policy
In Macroeconomic policy, He kinda likes Modern monetary theory a lot.

Geoliberal socialism has a hard time choosing between New-Keynesianism or Postkeynes.png Post-Keynesianism. He prefers the framework, economic analysis, and even some policies like Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) of Post-Keynesianism, but is afraid that, given their lack of real-world application, if ever implemented it would lead to a crisis.

He hopes that one day, policies like Modern monetary theory will prove correct in the real world. If they prove incorrect, New Keynesian policies should be embraced with a Post-Keynesian touch. But in the end, he just wants to incorporate Keynesianism in a Marketsoc.png market socialist economy.

Welfare
He wants a strong welfare state to ensure that members of a society can meet basic human needs, have a meaningful life, and increased productivity through greater support for deeper specialization. Also, welfare saves money, like the American healthcare system would be cheaper if universal and single-payer. He supports the implementation of a pack of universal welfare programs such as:

Universal basic services
UBS advocates a wider range of free public services enabling every citizen to meet their basic needs and achieve certain levels of security, opportunity, and participation. The core principles are: Universal: guaranteed entitlement according to need and not one’s ability to pay. Basic: sufficient rather than minimal, enabling people to meet their basic needs, participate in society, and flourish. Services: collectively generated activities that serve the public interest.

Under UBS, the provision of free public services must go beyond health or education to cover other basic necessities (e.g., housing, care, transport, information, nutrition). UBS will be more egalitarian and redistributive than our current welfare system.

UBS can also be more sustainable by decarbonizing the economy in a just way – rather than disproportionally loading the costs on the lower income brackets – and by supporting sustainable consumption corridors.

Provide Public, affordable housing & Homeless shelter
 * Housing:

Implement Universal, Broad, Single-payer healthcare & National Social care services
 * Healthcare:

Boost Public, free education.Guaranteed Universal access to education Implement a good educational method like Design-based learning & Phenomenon-based learning.
 * Education:

Improve Local transport to access other services, shops, and employment. Fully implement Free, public, sustainable transport Build High-speed rail, Light rail transit, Bus rapid transit,
 * Transport:

National Foodbank Food security Food Stamps
 * Nutrition:

Access to communications that enable participation in society as well as access to the other services. Freedom of information Municipal wireless network Public library
 * Information :

Universal basic capital
UBC is another way of looking at social security. UBC is a predistribution mechanism to address wealth inequality. Having a liquid and protected safety net to fall back on puts workers in a fairer bargaining position, the value of one’s combined assets can serve as a buffer in times of income fluctuation or emergencies.


 * Baby Bonds: Bonds from birth funded directly out of Treasury and held in an account by the federal government, similar to Social Security.


 * Postal Banking System: Will administer a guaranteed high yield savings account, the Government Retirement Accounts, and Universal social insurance, the USI is a group of insurances, unemployment insurance, and general insurance.


 * Government Retirement Accounts: administered by a Postal Banking System,  it will have two modes of capitalization:  Individual and Collective, on the first one, GRAs would be individually owned accounts, returning individual contributions just like 401(k). On the second mode, a fraction of every individual contribution will be grouped in one fund the returns will be given back to all in need.

Universal basic income
This UBI should, and can be, entirely independent of welfare payments, unemployment insurance, and so forth, thus ameliorating the concern that it would replace the welfare state. He has his own model of UBI that is the mixing of these models:

In this system, a percentage of capital stock (shares) from every initial public offering (IPO) will be channeled into a Commons Capital Depository, with the associated dividends funding a universal basic dividend (UBD).
 * Universal basic dividend (UBD)

Citizen's dividend is a proposed policy based upon the Georgist principle that the natural world is the common property of all people thus everyone has a right to benefit from it. It is proposed that all citizens receive regular payments (dividends) from revenue raised by taxing the value of land, natural resources, and the rest of the commons.
 * Citizen's dividend / Commons dividend

This concept is a form of universal basic income (UBI), where the citizen's dividend depends upon the value of natural resources or what could be titled the commons

The system imposes a carbon tax on the carbon emissions, and then distributes the revenue of this tax over the entire population (equally, on a per-person basis) as a monthly income or regular payment. He supports implementing them either combined or separated.
 * Carbon fee and dividend

Social wealth fund
He supports the implementation of a social wealth fund almost exactly the same as the Norwegian Government Pension Fund. It will be funded from a part of the taxation of the commons (mainly of mining) and the surplus of the public enterprises. And it will fund mainly the welfare state and government projects. it will strictly follow the guidelines of ethical investing, to avoid investing in projects that damage the planet and society. This means the SWF will invest in green projects, cooperatives, and other democratic enterprises. An advantage is that the state can make a longer-term investment, hopefully attracting other forms of finance to support firms that private investors are not yet prepared to invest in.
