Dragonshadowism

The ideology of Dragonshadow, also known as dragonism. Totalitarian, economically left, and conservative, this ideology wishes to improve the situation of the nation's people though eradicating what is considered to be a threat to their well-being, such as capitalism and societal progress.

On Authority
Dragonshadowism is totalitarian to help maintain its conservative policies and manage the centralized economy. Limited democracy is used to select upper leadership, where the people allowed to vote must pass an exam as well as meet some other criteria. The people selected by the people for their skill, work ethic, and dedication represent the best of their fields, and come together to make decisions. Among them, one will represent the head leader, becoming the face of the government. The government, and by extension, the police, will have access to whatever information they require to carry out their job. If one has nothing to hide, one has nothing to fear.

On Economics
Dragonshadowism calls for a centralized, state-planned economy. There will be near total economic equality, with some extra points given to especially hard workers in recognition of their contributions. These points can be used for highly specialized goods, such as antiques. These points will be kept track of by the state and cannot trade hands. Other than these, currency will eventually be rendered useless. Products will be distributed to the people, and any remaining goods can be used to trade with other countries for products the people deem desirable by participating in the surveys offered. The people are not allowed to sit idle and leech off the state. He who does not work, does not eat. This can functionally be a usual job, pursuing education, or in the case of couples, one may take the job of the housewife. If someone does not know what field they wish to work in, they can opt to have the state assign them where they are needed most.

On Culture
Dragonshadowism is culturally conservative in culmination. In order for society to once more be healthy and united, we must bring back the importance of morals there once was. Alcohol and drugs should be completely banned; these substances do nothing but harm the people. Public promiscuity, including unmodest dress, pride parades, and prostitution, will not be tolerated. Abortion would be banned in all cases except rape, incest, and serious damage to mother or child. There are some thoughts to eugenics to prevent genetic diseases being perpetuated, and orphans/unwanted children will be raised by the state until a new family is found. The nuclear family is vital, and should be promoted, as well as the typical roles of "breadwinner" and "homemaker". Our culture and traditions must not be discarded, as they are what differentiate us from the rest of the world and inspire national pride, which is necessary to maintain cohesion.

Technology
Dragonshadowism is transhumanist; technology is the future. Whether it be in improving daily lives, performing dangerous tasks, or defending our country, we must progress and explore how far we are able to go with science, technology, engineering, and math. Renewable energy sources will be developed in an effort to reduce damage on the earth, for this place is not only our home, but also the home of many other forms of life.

LGBTQ
Dragonshadowism has no issue with most queer people. Same sex marriage will be legal, as it promotes the idea of committing to a relationship through marriage. As long as the people are not degenerate, they shall be fine, and the state will not tolerate hate crimes towards them. As previously stated, no pride parades will be permitted, and queer people shall not be put on the pedestal they are on now; they shall simply be normal people. Top surgery will be permitted, as well as hormones for people over 18, but bottom surgery is too primitive in its current state, so it will be banned for the safety of the people. The gender identity of properly trans people will be respected by the state and the people.

The LGBT has gone too far. There shouldn't be more sexuality or romantic labels than just the simple hetero-, homo-, bi-, or a-. There is simply no need. As for trans people, a similar situation is true. There are two genders: man and woman. These exist on opposite sides of a spectrum, where in the middle sits nonbinary, as sharing androgynous traits or a mix of both. A third gender can not exist, as they is nothing more it can be based off of. Thus, all other "genders" will not be recognized. Additionally, all extra words under "nonbinary" should be redacted from existence. Finally, to be considered trans and receive treatment, one must be dysphoric.

Reform vs. Revolution
Dragonshadowism has deemed revolution an unfortunate necessity. The ideology strays too far from the status quo of the vast majority of industrialized world powers to ever be achieved through reform, for what voter would vote away their power, even when they are too ignorant to be voting? The ideology especially counters the current one of America: socialist vs. capitalist, conservative vs. progressive, a focus on management and control vs. a focus on giving liberties. Thankfully, Dragonshadowism can rise from the ashes of revolution decently well, as shown by how stalinism, which shares some traits, took power. Authoritarianism trumps anarchy.

Views on Unities
The revolution will not be won alone. We need to ally with our fellow econ-lefts, and later down the line, our fellow auths and conservatives. Once the revolution has been won, we can move together to create our totalitarian conservative state. I would be willing to consider forming a deal with any communes surrounding our territory for their safety and ours, as imperialism is harmful to both the external and internal people for a multitude of reasons.

Religion
Dragonshadowism has a rather odd relationship with religion. Its creator is an agnostic, yet the ideology is slightly pro-Christian. One of the reasons that society has fallen to such amounts of degeneracy is a move away from religion. Sadly, many people are incapable of morality without the threat of hell and the reward of heaven. They fall back to whatever makes them feel the best, whatever will serve them best. As such, the state should lightly support religion, specifically Christianity. Islam and Judaism have much more convoluted moral systems than Christianity, and both are much more aggressive and harsh at their cores, so they are not suitable. The state would promote in similar ways to America and such: recognizing Christian holidays, the religious references sprinkled throughout the legal system (such as swearing on the Bible), and providing some extra benefits for religious buildings. However, there will be no forcing; religious freedom will still exist. The important part of all this that is relevant to the state is not the religion itself, but rather the morals that come with it. As such, educational institutes will remain secular, and kids will be taught the morals without the religious portions behind them. It is sad that we must support a punishment/reward system for some people to have morals, but it seems to be an unfortunate necessity, much like totalitarianism. Both are there to counteract negative parts of human nature.

Friends

 * ConSocNat.png Conservative Socialist Nationalism - Highly based, I hope we get to talk more. You seem chill and your ideology is quite solid. However, I think you need more authoritarianism to really enforce your conservative values.
 * Noctua.png Noctuaism - I think your ideology would fail miserably, but you're a cool person.
 * [[File:MrsVzr.png]] Chaosocialism - The artist that has personified (ballified?) my ideology. A pleasure to work with, and a cool and well thought-out ideology, though your progressivism is a bit cringe.

Enemies

 * Airisu.png Airisuism - Too progressive, too lib, and overall just degenerate. The creator is also highly sensitive, which is just sad honestly.
 * Potashism.png Potashism - You insulted my relationship, you insulted my partner.
 * [[File:Piism.png]] Piism - We are basically perfect opposites. You actually believe in Laissez-Faire and think companies won't form massive monopolies that wouldn't even have the limitations of a state to prevent them from oppressing the people. In the end you'd just get a place like Nigeria, rife with materialism, division, corruption, and exploitation.
