O'Langism

Note: I'm back, however I don't plan on being as active as I was before.

Overview
O'Langism is an ' and  ' ideology inhabiting the bottom left corner of the political compass. It seeks to establish a ',  ', and  ' society, where  ' and a  ' although a  ' temporary state may be necessary to acheive this. Being a ', it accepts the fact that different environments may need different ideologies, meaning that it is fine with ' to  ' governments as long as a direct democracy is present, and knows that  ' may be necessary. It believes in ' and that individuals are the most important part of society, but is opposed to  ' because it believes that a certain amount of collectivism is necessary, and putting the always putting the individual first can cause problems.

[[File:Ancom.png]] Beliefs [[File:AnSynd.png]]
O'Langism is a far left ideology. Being an ' ideology, it seeks to abolish government and all forms of hierarchy (unless justified), replacing them with  ' inside of autonomous communes. It is a heavily ecological ideology, emphasizing  and protection of the environment. It believes in providing  via syndicates for professions. A main belief of O'Langism is ' It opposes both  ' and  , thinking the best system for ownership is for housing and businesses to be owned by those who use them or work in them. It does, however, believe in communal ownership and/or no ownership of land, thinking that humans have no right to buy and sell the earth for private gain. O'Langism believes in a ' based on  '  ' and  ' It seeks to establish gradual change on a countrywide scale by using  ' and to implement as many  ' and other  ' and seeks to establish immediate change by organizing groups of people to form  ' Then, once society is reformed enough, and syndicates control enough territory, there will be a mass strike and (hopefully) peaceful insurrection to overthrow the government, and establish complete anarchism.

[[File:Directdem.png]] Political Organization [[File:Fed.png]]
O'Langism believes in organizing society through ' with a  ' These cities would be divided into wards, which would engage in a weekly face to face meeting to discuss community issues, and vote on what to do about them. When making citywide decisions, members of wards would vote directly on the issue, but representatives would be randomly selected from each ward to meet with the other representatives to share the majority vote in each ward. When making nationwide decisions, the randomly selected councils of the cities would meet in a face to face meeting with the councils of other cities, to share the majority votes in their cities, and enact the total majority decision. Randomly selected councils would also represent purely the majority vote in diplomatic relations.

[[File:Ancom.png]] Economic Organization [[File:GE.png]]
O'Langism would have a ' consisting of  '  ' While this is the ideal goal, I do think that a stage of  ' may be necessary in order to achieve this.

[[File:Mutualist.png]] Mutualism or Communism? [[File:Ancom.png]]
The way I see it, the only real difference between mutualism and communism is that one has money (mutualism), and one doesn't (communism). Personally, while I think that communism is preferable, I think that mutualism is also good, and may be necessary for the time being

[[File:Ancom.png]] Capitalist luxuries under communism [[File:Ancom.png]]
"I just want communist Mickey Mouse, damnit!" - Me, whenever I wrote this

Basically, cooperativize Fender, Gretsch, and Disney, make them more focused on actually good products than profit, so then I can still go to disneyland under anarcho-communism

[[File:Prog-u.png]] Societal Organization [[File:Prgess.png]]
O'Langism is a very progressive ideology, supporting '  '   etc.

[[File:Fem.png]] Feminism [[File:Anfem.png]]
O'Langism supports feminism, and feminists, women definitely go through issues that men never will, and vice versa.

[[File:Menslib.png]] Men's Liberation [[File:Menslib.png]]
Pretty much same as above, just different types of isses.

[[File:Gay.png]] LGBTQ+ [[File:SJW.png]]
It is ridiculous in our society how people with sexualities and genders that are not heteronormative are considered inferior. These things are beyond people's control, and completely psychological, and it is ridiculous how our society makes it so that heterosexual is the norm.

[[File:Post-Genderism.png]] The Gender Abolitionism Question [[File:Post-Genderism.png]]
While in theory, gender abolition is good, I have a few problems with it, starting with my own gender identity. I personally identify as male, not as female or non-binary. I don't think of gender itself as an oppressive social construct, I just think we need to reform it so that people can openly identify the way they feel. That is the primary reason I'm against abolishing gender, but in addition to this, humans need to reproduce in order to survive, so therefore abolishing gender may return us to a society purely based on sex, and therefore a more transphobic/exclusionary society. You can ask me questions about this and debate me in the Q&A section.

[[File:Native.png]] Indigenous Liberation [[File:Native.png]]
We need to liberate all indigenous peoples, and dedicate land to tribes, as they were first.

[[File:Globnat.png]] Diplomacy [[File:Globnat.png]]
I think that Alter-Globalization, and cooperation between countries, but the right to self determination and anti colonial nationalism/patriotism is the best way to respect individuality and undue hierarchies. O'Langism considers himself to be Alter-Globalist.

1. Does existence have meaning?
So this is an interesting question. Is there something after death that makes life worth something, is there some divine meaning to life? Being agnostic myself, I'd say that there is no way to truly know. We don't know if life has an external meaning, we don't know if morals are real. I'd say that as far as we know, existence has no meaning, except to live, reproduce, and die. It is possible that there is some divine meaning, but we won't truly know until we've lived, reproduced, and died. While this does technically make me a nihilist, I don't like to use this term, as you will see in the next section.

2. No, but! (a response to #1)
So as I said in the last section, there is no way to truly know if there is external meaning to life until we die. You could say this is an argument for one to live life without morals, to care only about themselves, to believe that there is no meaning to them living, but I would say this is false. The fact that there is no meaning to life means that there is all the meaning to life! We just have to actually work for it. We can't say that our actions are controlled by a deity, so nothing we do matters, and at the same time we can't say that there is no deity, or meaning, so nothing we do matters. We have to live life with morals, we have to create our OWN meaning to life. We have to help others, and we have to make sure that our life has meaning, by positively impacting others, leaving a lasting legacy, so that even it is that the only thing that awaits us is the endless abyss, our actions have still influenced life, our life still has meaning. I agree with Camus that suicide is more absurd than facing the absurd because of this, because killing yourself basically ensures that your life has no meaning, and prevents your life from ever having meaning. Basically, what I'm saying is, existence has no meaning. It's absurd, so therefore, we have to create meaning for ourselves. Life and existence can only have meaning if we create meaning for ourselves, because we don't know what awaits us when we die.

[[File:Absurd.png]] My personal philosophies [[File:Existentialism.png]]
Absurdism - Life truly do be absurd don't it.

 - Existence doesn't matter unless we make it matter.

Nihilism - We will never truly know if anything matters until we die...

Agnosticism - ...So why pretend we do?

Optimism - If nothing matters than why bother being sad?

 - Buddhism has some pretty cool morality.

 - The individual is the most important part of society...

 - ...But is accountable to the community.

 - The state is not legitimate.

[[File:Synd.png]] Revolution or Reform? [[File:Dsa.png]]
The simple way to put it, is a mix of both. The primary theory behind implementing O'Langism can be summed up as, and land accumulation. Through indirect action, we would reform society to be labor oriented, while simultaneously accumulating land and forming collectives, until enough land has been accumulated for a general strike, causing the government to have to hand control over to the syndicates.

[[File:Illeg.png]] On Illegalism [[File:Illeg.png]]
, as a concept is an interesting idea. From what I know, it embraces the idea of criminality as a lifestyle, so basically, as opposed to starting a revolution to overthrow the state, you kind of just pretend it doesn't exist. As a tactic, I think that NON-VIOLENT crime, such as squatting, or shoplifting, can be a possibly useful way of taking power away from the state, but this shouldn't be a first resort, and definitely shouldn't be a lifestyle.

 * 2) Shade it in black

Based Points Thing
ok so like check off the ones you like and put your score below


 * 1) The idea of the state is unnecessary and hierarchical.
 * 2) We should ally with other anarcho-socialists and not fight over small ideological differences. (Synthesis Anarchism)
 * 3) We should ally for the most part with other socialists of different civic views
 * 4) Worker's unions are a useful tool in establishing socialism
 * 5) Peaceful accumulation of land, similarly to what the Zapatistas are doing in Mexico, is a good tactic in immediately establishing anarchism.
 * 6) Gift economics are preferable, but markets are ok when directed.
 * 7) Gift economics are based
 * 8) Worker owned cooperatives should make up the economy
 * 9) Violence should always a last result
 * 10) Capitalism is not good

Example: O'Langism (10/10) I agree with all of these points (who would have guessed?!?)

Personality and Behaviour
O'Langism is generally a calm ideology, but can get very riled up and angry in arguments. He is nonviolent, and wants a peaceful revolution through a mass strike, but is wiling to use more violent means if necessary.

Q&A
O'Langism - Ask me stuff here if you want
 * - How do you feel about Anarcho-Nihilism?
 * [[File:O'Langism.png]] O'Langism - I don't really see the point of Nihilism in general. OK, great, nothing matters, what are you gonna do about it? It never really made sense to me.
 * - How do you feel about communalism/social ecology and bookchin as a whole?
 * [[File:O'Langism.png]] O'Langism - From what I know, it's really cool.
 * [[File:Vexism.png]] Vexism - How do you reconcile "not wanting reform" while not wanting violent insurrection? Surely not wanting reform would mean your party wouldn't engage in normal parliamentary activities, but since you don't want violent insurrection either you shun the possibility of force being used to achieve your goals. So how would your "peaceful" and "non-reformist" plan work?
 * [[File:O'Langism.png]] O'Langism - So, to straighten it up, I do think that there are certain scenarios where violence is necessary, but it should be a last resort. My party (or more realistically, since I'm an anarchist, organization) WOULD actually engage in reformism, as even though it's not a realistic way to achieve an end, it can still improve conditions for the time being, but at the same time this organization would engage in direct action, specifically with a theory I created based on the Zapatistas called Land Accumulation Theory. To put it simply, you get together a group of radicals, and buy a plot of land. You establish social-anarchism on this plot of land, and pretend the government doesn't exist. You make money collectively off of this plot of land until you can buy another plot of land and make more money to buy another plot of land until eventually these collectives control enough territory just through peaceful legal means to realistically challenge the government, limiting the amount of violence necessary.
 * [[File:Vexism.png]]Vexism - Ah, alright.
