Overview
My economic beliefs are overall left-wing but  pro-market, I believe that the economy should be more  human-driven and not profit-driven, I also believe that  labor is the source of all value and that the unimproved value of land should be  taxed.

[[File:Cybercom.png]] Cybersocialism [[File:Cybercom.png]]
I support the idea of Cybersocialism, that being the idea that computers are to do economic planning and distribution, believing that they are more efficient than humans at planning and implementing policies in regards to economics, as I believe they are by far better than humans at doing such policies. This is similar to Allende's Cybersyn program (9/11/1973 never forget). I believe that there should be a council of 6 economists, and they will vote on what the best plan is according to their own opinions, with them voting on the plans offered by the computers (mostly ranging from good to very good). The voting is done in an e-democratic manner, meaning that the vote is democratic, but done digitally.

[[File:Ricardosoc.png]] Ricardian Socialism [[File:Ricardosoc.png]]
I believe in the labor theory of value as proposed by economist David Ricardo, with the assertion that labor is the source of all value, but also the source of all wealth. Now, I also believe in Ricardo's theory where rent is the difference between the produce obtained by the employment of two equal quantities of capital and labour. In the process of economic development, without there being land value taxation, increased land use and all of that would trickle down to landlords.

[[File:Georgist.png]] Georgism [[File:Georgist.png]]
I believe in the idea of Georgism and the set of policies advocated by economist Henry George. As such, I support the implementation of a land value tax, a tax on the unimproved value of land will have many benefits: It will allow for a more efficient and more eco-friendly use of the land as to not result in more taxes being paid to the government. This will benefit them and the environment. It will also encourage people who just want to profit off of old land that they don't use to just stop having that land. I also believe that from the revenues of a land value tax the citizens (poorer citizens) receive a citizens dividend.

[[File:Yang2020.png]] Economic Scorecard [[File:Yang2020.png]]
I believe that there should be an economic scorecard, this scorecard will be a much representative indicator of  well-being in society that prioritizes human growth rather than the growth of some number, which is exactly what GDP prioritizes. GDP is also flawed because it was made before we landed on the moon, before we understood climate change and before we made internet, thus, This economic scorecard will measure the following things:

- environmental quality

- mental health

- access to education

- quality of infrastructure

- infant mortality rates

- consumer debt

By removing gross domestic product from economic well being, we can stop pursuing the myopic idea of infinite GDP growth and instead build an economy that is focused on human needs, and human well-being, an economy which prioritizes the people over the rich. The economic scorecard also makes economic measurements more accurate to the actual, overall state of society compared to the gross domestic product.

[[File:Minmut.png]] Minarcho-Mutualism [[File:Minmut.png]]
I believe that the government should not have that much of control over the economy, with the means of production being relegated to the  workers and the means of planning and distribution being relegated to  AI planning. This is as such would leave the government only being in charge of taxation when it comes to economic manners.

[[File:Cooperative_Socialism.png]] Worker Co-operatives [[File:Cooperative_Socialism.png]]
I believe that businesses and the means of production within those businesses are to be owned by the workers of that said business, with there being a CEO who only gets a wage 10x bigger than the average worker, no more. Although, he is allowed to earn the same wage as his worker if he wants to. This is what I call a maximum wage. These worker co-operatives will also mostly own small-medium businesses, as such, they can end the big monopolies that have been established thanks to corporatocracy.

[[File:NatProg.png]] Trust Busting [[File:NatProg.png]]
I believe that we need strong anti-trust legislation in order to make sure that the economy is competitive and is not monopolized, like how it is today, in basically most sectors of the economy. As such, I propose an economic constitution which will constitute what is a big business, small business etc. but also what companies are eligible for being trust busted and how much (keep in mind, previous CEOs cannot own shares of stock in the new companies that came out of the old company):

- 30% market share (divided into 10 companies)

- 40% market share (divided into 20 companies)

- 50% market share and above (divided into 25 companies)

This is the model that is followed in Germany and this allows them to have a fair and competitive economy where  small-medium businesses dominate, the true sources of innovation, and they do not engage in price gouging that benefits them only. It is said that small-medium business generate x15 more innovation than big businesses.

[[File:MeritCap.png]] Passive Wealth Accumulation [[File:MeritCap.png]]
I believe that passive wealth accumulation goes against the idea of a meritocracy, and as such, I believe that stuff like inheritance and interest should be completely abolished, however, stuff like debt should be kept to a level as low as possible, this will make it easier to build a  meritocracy (more on it explained in society section).

Overview
On my views of society, I tend to espouse radical beliefs, beliefs which are at their core meant to fundamentally change the way we view society and how society works. My beliefs strive to be as progressive as the classical radicals were in their own time.

[[File:Gay.png]] LGBTQ+ Rights [[File:Gay.png]]
I believe that LGBTQ+ people should have an equal right to marriage and should be treated and should be as culturally accepted as heterosexuals are today, so that the social stigma against them is eroded. I believe that gender should stop being a determining factor in how a person should be treated.

[[File:Acidcomf.png]] Drugs [[File:Acidcomf.png]]
I believe that all drugs should be legalized as a view drugs in of it themselves as a  public health issue, not a security issue, believing that if alcohol and tobacco are fully legal and are a public health issue why can't the same apply to drugs? I believe that soft drugs like marijuana can only be consumed after 18 while hard drugs can only be consumed after 25. This will also massively reduce the incarcerated population, especially in the United States.

[[File:Merit.png]] Meritocracy [[File:Merit.png]]
My main goal in society is to build a meritocracy, that being a society which does job hiring based on a person's capability and experience not factors like race, gender, ideology and so on, believing that to be the main reason of the wage gap between races and genders.

[[File:Space.png]] Space [[File:Space.png]]
I believe we should explore space, there should be an  international space agency (ISA), and it should receive lots of funding to fund space exploration innovations like space tourism, moon and mars colonization and even faster than light travel through  quantum entanglement. Exploring space will allow to know more about our universe and to see new frontiers with our very eyes. The universe has a lot of time, and so shall we.

[[File:FDF-Pirate.png]] Internet [[File:FDF-Pirate.png]]
I believe that we need to put privacy back on the table when it comes to the internet, as tech giants have used information and technology to spy on the people who use their services and products, most importantly through advertisements but also through algorithms and behavioral patterns. These shall be replaced with private advertisements, on the internet, you are also fully anonymous, with you not requiring to have a name, and your IP are not to be known I also support VPNs as a tool of resistance against the tech giants.

[[File:Copyleft.png]] Copyleft not Copyright [[File:Copyleft.png]]
I personally support abolishing patent laws and want to mostly abolish copyright (except for some cases), thus allowing for a mass surge in copyleft, the complete opposite of copyright. It grants freedoms to copies of works that were previously copyrighted and could not be used.

[[File:Civlibert.png]] Stop Watching Us [[File:Civlibert.png]]
The internet is not the only way tech giants and governments use to spy and survey their own citizens, but also through surveillance cameras and the surveillance state. I want to get rid of the PATRIOT Act and also want to curb more pro-surveillance legislations. I believe that Assange should be liberated from prison and not extradited to the US. Whistleblowers should not have to be scared of government intervening and arresting them, their activities should be fully legal in my opinion.

[[File:Laicism.png]] Religion [[File:Laicism.png]]
I, like Karl Marx, believe that religion is the opium of the masses. It prohibits progress in its tracks and innovation to happen by simply saying that god made it. We would had been much more advanced without it, however, that doesn't mean there isn't time to stop religion. I personally believe that a church tax should be levied on all religious churches whether it would be Christian, Islamic or Jewish churches/mosques/synagogues. This would be a big tax and it would disincentivize the continued existence of such institutions, thus making religion a merely personal thing. I believe that there should be no official religion and that government should be secular, thus separated from the state and that education should stop being so pro-religion and instead be  secular and  humanist instead.

Friends
Yoda8soup Thought (//) - Surprisingly, we are actually pretty similar, on economics, we both support market socialism and georgism. De-central computer planning is an interesting concept, socially, we are pretty much the same, however, you should be more libertarian. Civically, we are the same, except for defensive democracy, I don't like that. Although, you should be more internationalist. TLDR: Pretty similar, with some minor differences. (//) - Not bad! Especially on economics and a bit on social policy, we are actually in agreement, however you need to be more progressive and more internationalist, otherwise, not bad, as said before. Mattism (//) - Not a bad ideology, we are pretty similar, the only difference we have is that you're too protectionist for me and are also in favor of defensive democracy, you are also more economically moderate but other than that, you are a good ideology.

Celfloskyism (//) - Pretty nice ideology, and it clearly seems you want not just equality but also freedom for the Chinese people, although I don't really like the ideas of Irredentism, your cycle democracy is not really something I like. You support virtue ethics and existentialism, although I am not that utilitarian though. Otherwise, pretty good!

AshleyHereism (//) - Yo, this is actually based for an anarchist, existentialism and absurdism are very based! Oscar Wilde is also based! I don't agree with Diogenes, but he was savage and independent, and I like that. It's nice how you support some Stoicism. Overall, you're mostly an anarchist version of me, which is pretty interesting.

Uzarashvilism (//) - Economics wise, you are pretty similar to me, as we both believe in a socialist market economy, and the fact that we both believe that the Nordics are just (for now) the countries with the best economic model (or rather, least evil) in the world. Not bad, however, our difference comes in social and international issues, first off, you are too conservative, you can at least be more progressive by supporting SJW-Lite. Also on international issues, you can still be a globalist and oppose "economic globalization" (like me). So yea, too isolationist. But yea, pretty good overall.

Glencoeism (//) - Wow, you are pretty based! I agree with you on PWA, we both stride for a sort of Co-operative, meritocratic society, if only you were more global... BE MORE GLOBAL!

Inexistent Ideology (//) - Not bad, just be less nationalist, more progressive and also more pro-market. Oh and more democratic. In rest pretty good.

Rocksism (//) - Not bad, and yes, Camus is based. You may be too communalist and marxist for my liking, but overall, pretty good!

BrainRustism (//) - Some of your stances on education are pretty admirable, yes, you should be able to sell candy at school, it improves competition and prevents a school monopoly engaging in unfair price gouging. You're actually not that bad, even if I disagree with you on some things.

Frenemies
Post-Councilism (//) - I hate vanguard centralism, and I am just generally not really into Communism in general, nor do I agree with Zizek, although you're quite literate in political/philosophical theory, which I admire. I wish to have said more but sadly I am not that literate in the beliefs you have so...

HelloThere314ism (//) - Your beliefs are not really beliefs that I tend to agree with, and also, on some parts, your page is unfinished so I don't really know how to rate you, but it is clear you know theory, so that's nice.

Ultroneism (//) - You are the most literate user on here on basically anything, now that's something, however, my opinions on your ideolo- I mean philosophy. In rest, my ideology disagrees with your ideologies on many things or I am just too illiterate on some things to give a proper opinion.

BasedManism (//) - I am just gonna beyond the ideas of based and cringe and just put you in frenemies tier definitely not because of the fact I am too lazy to read your page right now although I don't know, your page doesn't seem to mention ethics for example, only seems like it mentions metaphysics and logic. So, I can't completely judge your philosophical beliefs, so yea, you go here. Also come on at least I have some influence from Kant in epistemology

Neo-Kiraism (//) - Oh god what is this, this just feels like an SJW Commie in the flesh that right-wingers keep talking about, bruh why do you even sympathize with Juche, they're not even Marxist or progressive. Although, Absurdism and existentialism do bump you up into here though.

FinalFantasy24ism (//) - Your ideology is literally just Hu Jintao as a self-insert. No really, that's what it is. So you belong here.

Enemies
Implianium (//) - Its nice how you hate religion, but bruh why state atheism? And come on, why do you support genocide, ultranationalism and anti-urbanism!?! And god dang it you want psychopaths to be their own class, what is this? I really hope this is LARP.

=Figures=

S
Mikhail Gorbachev - You are the best Soviet leader ever, you tried to not just fix your stagnating economic situation caused by low oil prices and the war in Afghanistan (the soviet  Vietnam) but also increase political freedoms. Hot take, but you are probably the most socialist Soviet leader out there, even if you were the most pro-market since Lenin himself. I hate how hardliners, who helped orchestrate the fall of the USSR themselves even under your rule put the blame on you for doing it. R.I.P

Oscar Wilde - Your form of individualism is generally pretty influential to my sociology and good job on proving that socialism is not inherently collectivist, like how some other ideologies try to put it. You balance the best aspects of Socialism and Individualism, and for that, I am proud.

Elizabeth II - I know, I am a republican and do not support the system of monarchism, but there is no denying that Elizabeth II was a brilliant Queen, who set the idea of what constitutional monarchy actually is meant to be. Things are just different without the Queen. Yes, you tend to be apolitical, but that doesn't put you away from S tier. R.I.P

Marcus Aurelius - The stoic virtues are pretty good virtues that people are ought to have, also pretty based on the fact that you managed to dedicate to philosophy while still being Emperor. You also resembled stability during Rome, which is good, especially since the Antonine Plague brought so many deaths.

Stephen Hawking - The multiverse theory is a pretty good theory about the universe although it's pretty dumb how you said philosophy was dead when that is literally a philosophical belief and thus the existence of other universes, and yes, we need to go to space otherwise we may become extinct because of climate change, disease or overcrowding.

B
Joe Biden - B for Biden! Jokes aside, at first, it really seemed like a C tier President who barely got anything done and could barely form comprehensive sentences but now you are rolling man, Take down those MAGA Republicans! Save democracy! Still, you ain't getting more than B tier.

Rene Descartes - Your epistemology is so based, you figured out that we really cannot trust our senses and that we must thus use reason to know whether things are true or false. Outside of that, not too good, your politics are terrible, your ethics are good but very undeveloped, mind-body dualism is terrible, so yea, you're in B tier, although quite close to C tier.

Immanuel Kant - Yes, that is indeed how we understand the world, through intuition, reason and understanding. Without them, we are nothing. Reason is the most important. However, your racism is bad and also your metaphysics and ethics are not really ideas I agree with.

C
Barack Obama - I don't know, it seems like your presidency could had been better, but this is based on your actions not words, so... First off, It's nice how you rescued the American economy and set in regulations (albeit too few) against Wall Street through the Dodd-Frank Act, I hate how you handled the Snowden leaks and also you kept the PATRIOT Act... You also bailed out big banks which I don't like. The Cuban thaw was also a pretty good idea. Your withdrawal from Iraq was nice and your administration saw the death of Bin Laden, although, you should had left  Gaddafi alone. ACA could had been better though, well, it was better than nothing.

D
Nikita Khrushchev - It's nice how you tried sort of liberalizing the USSR after the death of him and all but that's mostly where your accomplishments stop, as under your administration you re-instituted  State Atheism, crack-downed on  worker co-operatives and toppled  Imre Nagy. D tier is your tier.

F
Klaus Schwab - I really wish you die, although, it is funny how people think the Great Reset is just some new corporate shit that seeks to oppress us, yes, it is very much oppressive, but the thing is this is just combining California and  Hong Kong and then sprinkling it some  eco-capitalism and bugs. Still, this doesn't make your Great Reset shit better. I hope the WEF and the Great Reset die along with you.

Leonid Brezhnev - First off, your intervention in the Prague Uprising and your declaration of war against  Afghanistan not only are pure examples of  soviet imperialism but the Afghanistan war literally ended up being a failure and literally caused economic stagnation, the collapse of the USSR itself and the rise of jihad terrorism because of US funding to fight Soviet forces. You know you belong in F tier.

Joseph Stalin - You are not a socialist but simply put just a totalitarian, who put literally anyone who opposed him to jail, you are also a pure, self-declared machiavellian, in a bad way. I could go on but finally... The only good thing you ever did was beat Hitler, although it is to be noted it wouldn't have been done with Western support and vice versa.

George W. Bush - I would just like to say, fuck you. The PATRIOT Act, absolutely fucking terrible. Standardized testing, absolutely fucking terrible. Afghanistan War: Eh, probably a right idea to take revenge on those who caused 9/11 but the US just overstayed 10 years and also the whole nation building crap was stupid. Iraq War: An absolute fucking mess. And to top of it all off, the Great Recession. You truly are a scum. You took away American freedoms and privacy and also wasted money on silly wars and tax cuts on the rich which ballooned the national debt.

Announcement

 * [[File:OwfBall.png]] Owfism - I need an ideology image (you know, like this: [[File:OwfBall.png]]) but one which actually encompasses my ideological beliefs. The ideologies that would be part of it are to be Geolibertarianism and Libertarian Market Socialism. (Can include 2 other ideologies in the combination, of your personal preference, must be ideologies Owf adheres to)
 * - [[File:Owff.png]]
 * [[File:OwfBall.png]] Owfism - Thank you!

Comment
Owfism - Deleted old comments

Rocksism - Add please (also is that the Limberwisk flag?).

Owfism - Yes it is, I thought it was cool since I couldn't think of another thing other than that (and I will add you soon, kinda busy rn)
 * [[File:Rocksismicon.png]] Rocksism - It is cool (if it existed I'd move there too).

Implianium - Add me

- Add me? :)

- Hi, I re-added you. Would you mind adding my ideology again?

- Readd me please.

- Btw, the geolibertarian market socialism page was my very old self insert, idc about it anymore so you can revamp it if you want, kinda like what Aaron did with Bleeding Heart Geolibertarian Market Socialism.
 * [[File:OwfBall.png]] Owfism - Wow, I actually didn't know that, I just saw the page and just saw how accurate it was to my ideology, so I just adopted that. Yea, I could maybe revamp it.
 * - Also, could you please add me?


 * - Add me?


 * - Add Please.


 * [[File:BasedMan.png]]BasedManism - add me?


 * [[File:Uzarashvilism.png]]Uzarashvilism - Yo there, add me?


 * - Re-add me fellow Wilde enjoyer.


 * - Monism isn't the principle that mind and body are united in each "individual" human. It is the principle that all of reality is one thing, that there is no body or mind but rather these are modes or aspects of the one thing, as such you and I and every other human are actually one "object" or thing and thus we do not have bodies, but rather each seemingly individual body is actually just a "limb" or part of the whole.


 * - Could I use text of your ideology to my policies?
 * [[File:OwfBall.png]] Owfism - Yes you very much can.


 * - "Let's first begin with the definitions of both ideas, first off, rationalism is the practice of basing actions and opinions on reason and knowledge. Then, empiricism is the opposite, with it being the practice of basing actions and opinions on belief or emotional response." WHAT? - Rationalism is the principle that knowledge derives from reasoning, as such logical reasoning. While Empiricism is the epistemological belief that sensory experience such as scientific observation is the source of knowledge - it has nothing to do with belief, emotion, or opinions. What utter dribble, as if Descartes didn't also utilise empirical arguments and Locke didn't use rationalist principles.

- Yo! You're a cybersocialist now too that's based as hell! :D
 * - Gorbachev is based [[File:Gigachad.png]]
 * [[File:OwfBall.png]] Owfism - Indeed [[File:Gigachad.png]]
 * [[File:Neokira2.png]] Neo-Kiraism - add me lol

- Add me plz

Glencoe- add me Plz


 * - This is definitely me when I confuse conceptualism and nominalism.
 * [[File:OwfBall.png]] Owfism - I never heard of that term before, I had heard of nominalism and I thought that would fit, I will change that.
 * - "The main problem of metaphysics, which precedes the essence of objects is the problem of universals and particulars." - Essences are univerals so it doesn't precede, but is simultaneous - and if one was taking a purely historical look at the evolution of the problem, essence actually precedes.  "There is a view however, that asserts that universals don't exist, that being conceptualism" - Neither Conceptualism nor Nominalism assert that universals do not exist. let me go over the quadrants; Platonic or Strong Realism holds that universals are mind independent and transcendent, that is they are abstract and exist as neither material or immaterial objects. Then you have Aristotelian or Immanent realism that holds that the "form" or essence or universal of lets say a cat does not exist in and of itself, but is rather immanent and never seperate from the particular. Then you have a range of Nominalisms which can include conceptual nominalism or conceptualism. Conceptualism holds that the concepts within the mind are univerals, i.e. I imagine a cat as a universal cat that is neither a tabby or a simese or black or tall or etc. While the nominalist holds that the only universal is the actual word cat, and thus the imagined cat is always a particular cat that you have experienced or can mitch-match together.  "And even if there was a form, what would the perfect form of "cat" be?" Plato's 'Forms' may be perfect (even this is not strictly true, because Plato's Forms are just the absolute form i.e. a cat and nothing else, or the "Good" and nothing else, unlike say a small cat which is both a cat and small) - but universals are just shared properties that all the particulars have, i.e. a tall cat and a small cat are both cats, doesn't make "cat" perfect.  "In conclusion, I believe that the only thing that actually exists are merely material particulars" Nominalism nor Conceptualism leads to materialism, All nominalists historically have been empiricists, but not materialists. As such Ockham believes in immaterial objects such as God and the Angels, Berkeley was a subject Idealist, but someone like Hobbes thought everything was matter.

FinalFantasy24-Please Add me:https://polcompballanarchy.miraheze.org/wiki/UserWiki:FinalFantasy24 BrainRustism - Add?
 * - Am I missing something? Where Neokira supports Juche?
 * [[File:OwfBall.png]] Owfism - When I added Neokira, it said on their page that they are sympathetic to Juche, maybe they have removed that or something, I should probably look. Edit: Yea, they removed that, I will adjust that in my relations soon

- Do you have discord? BrainRustism - What is it that you disagree?
 * [[File:OwfBall.png]] Owfism - Sorry I don't.
 * [[File:OwfBall.png]] Owfism - I don't really agree with an armed insurrection against the school system, and also its not school that is causing us to fail its the un-meritocratic system that we live in, which sadly, school doesn't mention us. The problem with school can be solved through reforms not armed insurrection.
