Silasism

Silasism is the newest self-insert of the user Sorcerersilas is here. it is culturally center-left, economically center-left to left-wing, civically libertarian, and diplomatically syncretic.

[[File:Trustbust.png]] Competition Laws [[File:Trustbust.png]]
I want to return to the anti-trust laws of Progressive-Era America. This is what I would do to crack down on corporations: Also, the idea of corporate "personhood" is absolutely idiotic. Corporations are not people, I don't care what Mitt Romney says.
 * Break up all existing monopolies and trusts.
 * Crack down on [[File:Ingsocf.png]] survelliance by tech corporations.
 * Prevent the conglomeration of already existing corporations.
 * Cut off all corporate subsides.
 * Ban corporate lobbying. (AKA corruption disguised as activism)
 * Prevent corporations from keeping workers from getting breaks.

[[File:Cooperative_Socialism.png]] Workplace Democracy [[File:Cooperative_Socialism.png]]
Workplace democracy has been proven to be generally beneficial. In an ideal world, workers would own the means of production. Here's how I'd like to encourage workplace democracy:
 * Implement a [[File:Cball-Italy.png]] Marcora Law; In other words, a law that allows unemployed workers to use their entire alloted amount of unemployement money to create a coop, thus both lowering unemployement and expanding workplace democracy.
 * Preventing large private corporations from crushing cooperatives.
 * Fund cooperative development funds (pretty much what they sound like, funds to develop cooperatives)
 * Lower the corporate income tax on cooperatives.
 * I think that [[File:Synd.png]]Employee funds (basically, a socialist version of SWFs) are the ideal way to transition to market socialism, although I don't think they could be implemented in America.

[[File:Synd.png]] Unions [[File:Synd.png]]
I'm pro-union. In my opinion unions are important for maintaining worker's rights and should not be suppressed. However, I think that guilds might deal more competently with stuff like that.

[[File:Guildsoc.png]] Guilds [[File:Guildsoc.png]]
I think guilds are a good way to organize the economy. There would be guilds for certain trades. Due to this businesses in guilds could talk about problems that the trade is collectively having and fix it. Workers can get more representation in their workplace through guilds too.

[[File:APF-UBI.png]] Universal Basic Income [[File:APF-UBI.png]]
I think that universal basic income is a good way to reduce poverty in an unmessy, non-bureaucratic way, and I view as necessary due to the rise of automation. "But people will just become lazy and quit their jobs!" Universal basic income was implemented through the Alaskan Permanent Fund in Alaska and a 2018 paper showed it didn't have any effect on employment. "Then poor people will just use it to get drunk and high!" While drug sales may be more noticable in poor communitees, drug use is equally distributed among poor, middle class, and wealthy communities.

[[File:Regulationism.png]] Taxation [[File:Regulationism.png]]
Taxes I want are:
 * [[File:Georgist.png]] High land value tax.
 * [[File:Plutocrat.png]] High wealth tax.
 * [[File:Merit.png]] Inheritance tax. (for the ultra-rich, not average people)
 * [[File:Envi.png]] Environmental taxes.
 * [[File:Trustbust.png]] Low corporate tax.
 * [[File:Health_and_Safetyf.png]] sales tax on unhealthy foods and drugs.

[[File:Georgist.png]] Housing [[File:Georgist.png]]
I view housing as a human right and think that the housing crisis is one of the biggest current issues in the world. In addition to high LVT to punish land hoarding, I also am a staunch YIMBY, believing that overly restrictive zoning laws are one of the main reasons behind the housing crisis and want to initiate a government program devoted to building more houses. Also, Landlords should need to get real jobs first. I'm also against rent control, because while it may protect people who have landlords from landlords, it doesn't protect people who don't have landlords.

[[File:World.png]] Trade [[File:World.png]]
I'm very much in favor of liberalized trade. I think free trade is generally beneficial for countries and that protectionism doesn't do much besides keeping people from buying foreign products.

[[File:Statesoc.png]] Nationalization [[File:Statesoc.png]]
Transport, national parks, healthcare, water, electricity, education, libraries and in general basic utilities will be nationalized.

[[File:Antwork.png]] Automation [[File:Antwork.png]]
Due to automation being on the rise, work will eventually stop becoming a necessity, because automation will eventually completely replace it and all our jobs will be done by technology. For now, I see work as a necessary evil- work causes a lot of suffering that automation doesn't, but the economy still depends on it. But if we replace work with automation, then the "necessary" part of "necessary evil" will be taken out.

Opinions on Ideologies
WIP

Good
- liberty, markets, and workplace democracy are all based.

- People should be free from poverty as much as they are free from the state.

- Down with fascism, communism, and monarchism!

BritMonkeyism- Very epic youtuber.

- Sun Yat-Sen was a hero who put an end to the Qing Dynasty and was basically the chinese George Washington. All three of your principles are based.

- LVT is based! LET'S LYNCH THE LANDLORD, LET'S LYNCH THE LANDLORD, LET'S LYNCH THE LANDLORD MAN!

Meh
Titoism- Dictator, which is cringe, and 20% unemployment also isn't good, but since you were established workplace democracy and fought against the axis powers, you're a whole lot better than other dictators.

Bad
- Worst form of socialism.

- Words cannot express how much hate you.

- Yeah, no. nationality should be based on similar principles and citizenship, not ethnicity.

- Ethnat but even more stupid, imagine thinking that citizens are only legitimate if their skin is a certain color.

All Fascists- being edgy isn't a political ideology.
