Glencoeism

=Introduction = =Economics =

Natural Resource and Land ownership
Do to the fact that no one created land or natural resources. whoever owns said land/natural resources should pay a tax for it, thus I support a 20-50% Land Value Tax + a 10-25% Natural resources tax

Democratic Corporations
This is a form of co-oops I came up with. In a democratic corporation every 4-5 years the workers come together to vote on who is going to be above them. I support this out of pragmatism and prefer direct co-oops.

Direct Co-oops and small business
Direct Co-oops should be encoured on the local level. Small business will be allowed to evict but cannot exceed 15 employees

Worker Unions
Worker unions will be strong and through tripartite agreements can negotiate rights with the employer he also supports strikes however supports right to work laws

Infrastructure
Glencoe believes in massive infrastructure expansion there are several things we wants to build and expand on

High Speed Rail
One of the major things is build a United States high speed rail network as seen on this map:

Smart Cities
He believes that cities in the US should be upgraded to smart cities

Banks
There Should be a single central bank with local branches along with credit unions

UBI
I believe in a UBI to help people

Universal Healthcare system
I believe in a Universal Healthcare System

Encouraging Mutual Aid
He bellies that Mutual Aid groups should be encouraged

Minimum Wage
He believes that the minimum wage should be tied to inflation and rise whenever inflation goes up and go down whenever it goes down

Zoning Reform
Adopt the Houston Model and get rid of zoning

Type 1
Type 1 Ameriablocks are 3 stories tall and are squished together. They are basically your average American suburban home stacked on top of each other three times.

Type 2
Type 2 Ameriablocks are 6-10 stories tall and are not as squished together they are basically a commie block but in neo futurist style. They also have stores on the bottom

Strong public transit
He firmly believes in a strong public transportation through federal subsidies it will be free.

Commuter Rail
Because most people will still work in the cities(obviously) they need to get there another way besides cars so suburbs will have Commuter Rail that is free to get to the cities

Business/retail Centers
These will be about a 2-5 minute bike ride from the type 2 ameriablocks and a 10-20 bike ride from type 1s. Most shops and offices will be located here. the central train station for the suburb will also be here.

Parks
Parks will vary in size but will always be only a 5 minute bike ride at the farthest

Nationalization
=Civics =

Political Sturture
He belives in a semi-Presidential system With a National Parliament of 999 members And a President who is elected by directly by the people There will be states with a system like above with limited power I support Ranked Choice voting

New Constitution
Amendment 1: The National Parliament is to compromise 999 members and be elected through popular vote. Amendment 2:The President is too be elected via popular vote Amendment 3: All elections n are to be decided via Ranked Choice Voting Amendment 4: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

=Cultural/Social =

Cultral Individualism
To but it quite simply I don’t care really what people do provide d it doesn’t violate the harm principle

=Technological = =Foreign = =Revolution = = Philosophy =

Utilitarianism
The moral code i am mostly aligned with is utilitarianism.I firmly believe that we as humans should help our fellow man.

Hedonism
Despite what i said above I also think it is important to treat and have fun yourself

Moral Subjectivism
While do think it is important for people to have moral codes i do believe that morals have no fundamental value on there own and thus even of you do not follow my moral code you are still human

The need to try
There is this old Roman saying that you only lost if you say you lost I firmly believe in that. I believe that no matter how bad it is you need to keep trying

Cartesian Anxiety: why having a stable foundation of knowledge is impossible
Do to the fact that knowledge is always changing and full knowledge is impossible this is bound to happen. That said I believe it is most likely to happen to smart people and the smarter you are the more likely you realize you have a high chance of being wrong.

On the Subject of mind and body
The mind and body are to separate things however they are connected if the body is to die that the mind will die and if the mind is to die the body will also die.
