Evolutionary Socialism

is the personal ideology of DuyQuangNguyenPham. He's economically left-wing,  civically moderate,  socially leaning progressive,  patriotic,  internationalist, and  interculturalist. Evolutionary Socialism believes in widespread workers' self-management with worker cooperatives and other companies under collective employee ownership through controlling shares in a market economy. To him, other forms of cooperatives are also okay because they serve as an alternative to traditional private enterprises. Only a few industries should be nationalized, the rest can be left up to the workers and the wider community.

On social issues, Evolutionary Socialism supports abortion rights,  LGBT rights,  decriminalizing marijuana, reformed police forces, etc. However, he recognizes that economic policies must be prioritized as they benefit the most people before moving onto the policies mentioned above. That isn't any more true than in third-world countries. He would advocate a gradualist approach to  progressivism there. Improvement in living standards will be pursued first and foremost to reduce resentment. LGBT, women's, and men's issues should be taught in high schools or higher education to create a more permissive society.

On civic issues, he can be best described as a centrist. Although the people should enjoy civil liberties, the state should also be strong enough to protect its citizens from harm and ensure up-to-standard welfare.

Macroeconomic thought
Evolutionary Socialism is on the fence, unable to pick between  or. So he just incorporates Keynesian elements into a potential  market socialist society instead. That is, strategic tax cuts and increased spending during recessions; tax increases and decreased military spending during booms. He wishes to cut down debt to get a reasonable debt-to-GDP ratio while not compromising people's well-being.

He wants a creation of an independent central bank to tackle inflation.

[[File:PCB-Regulationism.png]] Regulations [[File:DvCoordination.png]]
Evolutionary Socialism has never liked the idea of a laissez-faire market. The concept that the government should just stay out of business matters and let supply and demand dictating everything seems alien to him. For this reason, he supports some regulations within the economy.

One of them is the economic constitution, similar to the one implemented in  West Germany. It's crucial for curtailing any monopoly and domestic cartels during and after the transition to market socialism to prevent spikes in the price for the consumers. Stock buybacks don't really increase productivity for the economy but just maximize profits for shareholders. Evolutionary Socialism plans to limit that behavior, perhaps makes it illegal.

This ideology supports raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour over five years. After that, the minimum wage will be indexed to the median wages. The slow rise in the wage floor will improve firm efficiency and reduce absenteeism. Even though millions may be out of jobs temporarily, tens of millions more will see a rise in compensation, reducing overall poverty.

Taxations
Extreme inequality can burden the entire society as social problems go up the worse inequality is. He generally supports higher egalitarianism, as long as it doesn't hurt productivity. High levels of taxation are needed for 1. Reducing extreme inequality, 2. Funding the comprehensive social safety net, and 3. Reducing debt to acceptable levels. Evolutionary Socialism supports the following taxes:


 * Progressive income tax: Accumulation of wealth becomes harder, the more income a person has. The highest marginal income tax would be at least 50%.
 * Corporation tax: Penalizing companies that don't reinvest their profits for long-term development.
 * Capital gains tax: Equalizing the tax on labor and capital. Eliminating step-up in basis is necessary to enforce this type of tax.
 * Value-added tax: Tends to be very difficult to evade and also raises much revenue.
 * [[File:Georgist.png]] Land value tax: Fighting land speculation
 * Carbon tax: Incentivizing companies to be less carbon-intensive by passing negative externalities onto them.
 * The minimum corporate tax rate: Reducing the tendency for companies to move their profits just because taxation is too high (otherwise known as capital flight.)

Note that he will only add more taxes during economic booms. In economic recessions, temporary tax cuts may be the way to go to stimulate the economy.

[[File:Synd.png]] Organized labor
Evolutionary Socialism pretty much supports the right for the workers to join a trade union. However, trade unions shouldn't strive to raise wages above the levels needed to reduce inflation. They're also required to disclose finances to minimize corruption for their members. And finally, any support for political parties must be approved by the majority of the workers inside any trade union.

Other than that, he recognizes the necessity of high unionization. It has been shown to increase firm productivity; and reduce racial resentment, suicide rates. Not only can unions improve working conditions for existing firms, but they can also form new cooperatives for the interest of workers.

[[File:Welf.png]] Welfare system [[File:Soclib.png]]
Universal healthcare is a moral imperative nowadays. He initially supports a public option competing with private health insurances to drive down costs. And once the people like how the public option is working out, he can then implement Medicare For All at state levels slowly until single-payer healthcare covers the entire nation comparable to the NHS in Britain. This model can substantially reduce the administrative costs for care. However, there will be campaigns advising people not to abuse this system for the common good. Excise taxation on tobacco, alcohol and sugar-sweetened beverages is also needed to reduce diseases and promote good health.

The schools are free at the point of service and compulsory for children between the age of six and eighteen. Banning political propaganda is obligatory to ensure an informed populace. For housing, Evolutionary Socialism wants to follow the model in Finland. He will increase the supply of affordable rental housing to provide to the homeless. Solving any personal issues is much easier with a roof over your head. Furthermore, he also defends universal child allowance to prepare citizens for the future.

Evolutionary Socialism recognizes the role of private charities, but figures that it might not be enough for the community. Overall, if this ideology wants to add welfare, it needs to be universalist like in the Nordic countries. Universality ensures that the programs are much harder to remove and far less likely to produce stigma, as every person has benefited from these policies.

[[File:Bernst.png]] Transition to Socialism [[File:PCB-Dsa.png]]
Evolutionary Socialism prefers an  to market socialism instead of violent revolutions. Any form of revolution should only be considered under a very authoritarian government, like the Velvet Revolution in  Czechoslovakia, the  Cuban Revolution against the  Batista regime, and the  August Revolution in Vietnam.

With that said, he believes that there are several ways to achieve market socialism:
 * Encourage schools to teach more about the alternative models of firms in Economics. More people knowing about them means a higher chance of potential entrepreneurs choosing cooperatives as their model.
 * Incentivize more [[File:Cooperative Socialism.png]] worker cooperatives, consumer cooperatives, and other coops with either favorable tax credit or a national bank that provides good loans for businesses that follow these models.
 * Give the employees the right to take over an enterprise deserted by its owner (the right of first refusal.)
 * Expanding co-determination (partial participation of employees in decision-making) until virtually all representatives in the board of directors are elected by the workers themselves.
 * Create employee funds that will tax a portion of private companies' profits above a certain size to buy up their shares. The shares will belong to the representatives of employees in that firm. The process will continue until the workers gain a controlling share, allowing collective employee ownership. A scaled-down version of this plan has been implemented in Sweden in 1982, but sadly got removed after.

All of the above can create a social economy dominated by worker coops, consumer coops, platform coops, credit unions, etc. Instead of standard hierarchy in workplaces, democracy is established in full in the majority of firms. Although cooperatives may have difficulty starting up, higher productivity, longevity, and lower inequality can counteract that.

[[File:Gay.png]] LGBT rights [[File:PCB-Trans.png]]
Evolutionary Socialism approves the right to sexuality. People with different sexual and gender identities shouldn't be discriminated against in society. To solve this, he advocates teaching more about this issue in schools to reduce bias-motivated crimes. Same-sex marriages, or just marriages in general, are protected. And there will be laws protecting the rights of these people.

As for trans people, he recommends that they should align their secondary sexual characteristics closer to their gender identity as soon as possible to decrease the chance of being misgendered. The state shall provide resources for transgender people to help with their gender dysphoria, such as puberty blocker below age 16, hormone replacement therapy from age 16 to 18, and sex reassignment surgery above age 18. Of course, parents need to know about such a major decision for further consultation and support. Of course, discrimination based on one's sexuality is not allowed.

[[File:Fem.png]] Feminism [[File:Mat.png]]
Despite the focus on economics, this ideology is concerned that women may find themselves at a disadvantage. He supports "equal pay for equal work" as a result. He tries his best to reduce the gender pay gap by:
 * Raise the minimum wage (more on this above.)
 * Don't base the pay for workers on past salary history.
 * Expand paid parental leave and sick leave.

Evolutionary Socialism is also supportive of abortion rights for women. When a mother bears a child that she can't support, that will burden the entire society. He wants to legalize abortion for the first two trimesters since the fetus usually doesn't have consciousness during that period and thus has no preference. However, he will regulate any abortions after that, only allowing the procedure when the woman is at risk or when the baby has a disorder that greatly reduces its chance to live after birth (like Type 3 Congenital Pulmonary Airway Malformation.)

Even though this ideology defends women's right to choose, he will surely provide sex education and birth control to reduce unwanted pregnancies. After all, abortions should be safe, legal, and rare.

[[File:Policeism.png]] Criminal justice [[File:Policeman.png]]
Evolutionary Socialism no longer supports the death penalty, both in theory and in practice. Not only can wrongful execution happen, but the death penalty also costs more money than life imprisonment and generally hurts the families of victims and defendants. Additionally, rehabilitating the wrongdoers for reintegration should be pursued as much as possible.

He supports "defunding the police" in principle - reallocating some of the funds from the police to other social workers better equipped to deal with domestic violence. However, if done poorly, it may be counter-productive, raising crime rates in some cities. Because of this, he wants to hyper-specialize the police forces instead. To be in a "violent division," a police officer must pass a strict mental health test and keep passing it every year. They will rotate out of that division every five to ten years. Specialization can save taxpayers' money and is generally more efficient.

Evolutionary Socialism also thinks that the current police organizations should have no reason to carry armored vehicles, rocket launchers, or grenades. He wants to demilitarize the police to reduce instances of police brutality and improve community trust.

He is against the police abolition movement because he believes law enforcement can be our protectors instead of predators.

[[File:NarcLib.png]] Drugs & Euthanasia
He thinks that soft drugs need to be decriminalized, while hard drugs should remain illegal. Hard drugs may give temporary highs for the consumers, but their downsides outweigh any upsides (see the opioid crisis.) While there is no such thing as a cannabis crisis, overusing marijuana can increase the risk of traffic accidents.

On Euthanasia, he unquestionably supports the procedure. The government has no right to force a sick person to continue living if he/she doesn't want to.

[[File:Envi.png]] Environmentalism [[File:Glib.png]]
Evolutionary Socialism thinks that pollution and climate change are the two biggest threats that humanity has to face. Although individuals should have the awareness to protect the environment, that's not sufficient. Therefore, he's a bright green environmentalist, which means that he supports technological advancements to develop more sustainably. Synthetic meat, GMOs, nuclear energy, renewables, biodegradable plastic, and other technologies all play a role. He will harshly fine companies that deliberately dump their waste into the ocean to disincentivize such behavior. A carbon tax will be levied on businesses to encourage decreasing carbon emissions. He will also stop subsidies to the fossil fuel industries. The state shall accommodate nature by building green and blue infrastructure that considers any unintended consequence on public health.

[[File:Atheism.png]] Religious matters [[File:Religious.png]]
On one hand, he strictly opposes a theocratic government. Religious laws can stifle progress, such as denying reproductive care for women. The merge of church and the state is likely to result in the centralization of powers when leaders justify their legislation in the name of gods. On the other hand, he also opposes strict state atheism. The concept usually translates to state worship, and the government has a high chance of persecuting minor religious groups to make religion a personal matter.

Evolutionary Socialism ends up supporting secularism as a middle ground between both. He will ensure the separation between the church and the state for modernization, but freedom of religion is upheld.

[[File:PCB-Nationalism.png]] International relations [[File:Globalism.png]]
Evolutionary Socialism is a civic nationalist, meaning that he defines nationhood as something based on common values and citizenship. He doesn't think that we should discriminate against immigrants because of their different ethnicities, races, or even cultures. For this reason, he welcomes immigrants as long as they can understand and uphold the nation's values. There will be a five-year period before immigrants can access welfare, however. An unusual characteristic of his patriotism is his liking both the  United States and  Vietnam at the same time. Representative democracy is a great model to follow, but Evolutionary Socialism also enjoys Vietnam's dedication to socialist ideals.

Unlike regular Multiculturalism, he seeks to fight the tendency of cultures to self-segregate into parallel societies. Even though this ideology supports the existence of multiple cultures, there needs to be cross-cultural communication and cultural fusion, and the state needs to promote common ground between them. So there's still a collective identity among diverse cultures. Evolutionary Socialism supports moderate nationalism that is not exclusionary nor considering itself to be superior to other nations. This can challenge the rise of right-wing populist parties and prevent them from getting into power, like what the  social democrats did in  Sweden.

He is also non-interventionist, believing that national boundaries are not arbitrary constructs because of self-determination. He is aware of Vietnam's history of being colonized by other great powers throughout its existence. And thus, Evolutionary Socialism is sure that foreign wars are very seldom justified. However, he will still retain trade and diplomacy to help out other countries with aids if needed.

As for trade, he's currently leaning more toward free trade than protectionism, as prices for goods can be lower for the workers, and real income is likely to grow. However, Evolutionary Socialism understands that there are always winners and losers in these trade agreements. So for the workers displaced by foreign competition, he supports creating generous retraining programs to help them adjust to new jobs. Additional Earned Income Tax Credits might be needed when the minimum wage is not yet a living wage for the employees. Furthermore, free trade agreements should have minimum labor and environmental standards, making them 'fair trade.' That way, it wouldn't be the race to the bottom but rather a ladder for developing countries to get up.

He supports regional unions and the United Nations in its current form since they helped solve global problems like climate change and pollution. However, any further developments must be unanimous among their members. One reason is that without the agreement of some countries, these organizations will impede their national sovereignty.

[[File:Dem.png]] Form of government [[File:Republicanismpix.png]]
To him, democracy isn't necessarily the best political system but rather the least bad system devised by humans. Even if it got corrupted, it would still be better than a despotic government that consistently enacts terrible policies. Democracies are much less likely to go to war, and they don't kill their citizens as much.

Evolutionary Socialism supports a representative democracy with direct democratic elements. A referendum will pop up before the enactment of a particularly controversial policy, like cybersecurity laws. He prefers the parliamentary system to a  presidential one because the prime minister is much more in sync with the legislative branch than a president. Depending on the population, each state will have a certain number of seats. Every political party will have a chance to gain ground with proportional representation instead of first-past-the-post. He dislikes plurality voting precisely because it tends to punish compromise and reward partisanship. Anyways, all of those seats will form a parliament. Some parties that generally agreed on core issues can form a coalition, getting a high enough majority to govern.

[[File:CNN.png]] News media [[File:Mediastocracy flair.png]]
In his view, Evolutionary Socialism thinks that the mainstream media is usually not trustworthy for the people. He supports the Fairness Doctrine to present opposing views fairly, preventing the political polarization found in the US. Media cooperative is a fascinating model and can operate more independently due to the minimization of the agency dilemma. He wishes to incentivize creating more of them.

Electoral process
Evolutionary Socialism feels that corporations have too much power over the political process. He wants to restrict big money by setting an upper limit on the expenditures given to political campaigns. Additionally, he plans to create an independent electoral commission to draw boundaries and monitor elections properly.

[[File:Liberty.png]] Civil liberties [[File:Civlibert.png]]
Evolutionary Socialism supports free speech, but he's not a free speech absolutist. According to the Paradox of Tolerance, if a society is tolerant without limit, eventually, the intolerant will destroy any semblance of tolerance. He doesn't support speech if it's defamation or incitement. If you try to damage someone's reputation for no good reason or encourage a person to hurt any group of people, you will be fined accordingly. Besides that, dissent is allowed as a way to spot any shortcomings to improve the system, as he is pluralist.

Additionally, he fiercely defends peaceful protests (freedom of assembly.) As John F. Kennedy puts it, "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." There should always be an avenue for the public to reform the government to become better. He even supports riots if they're against the public institutions.

[[File:Sec.png]] Restrictions [[File:Authority.png]]
However, he thinks the riots against any other kind of property are mostly unjustified. Destruction of businesses can ruin the lives of many people who worked hard to build them.

He supports gun control because guns aren't often used for defense as most people think. Guns are only allowed for anyone from 18 years old or above, and universal background checks are employed. Less gun prevalence can reduce instances of violent crimes, like school shootings, for example.

With the release of vaccines, Evolutionary Socialism wouldn't necessarily make vaccines mandatory for everyone, but he will make it a requirement to travel and to participate in sports events. Tying vaccines to positive events will incentivize people to take them.

This ideology has a very controversial take on privacy. He allows placing surveillance cameras in public places to combat unlawful activities. A potential thief can be discouraged to steal when he sees the camera watching him in a store. But since this can be a violation of the right to privacy, he will use referendums for every new camera system. Because even if you have nothing to hide, you still have something to fear.

 * [[File:Newkeynes.png]] New Keynesianism - We should utilize fiscal and monetary policies to stabilize the business cycles. Although, you leaned toward the latter when you rejected any fiscal stimulus. However, you still achieved extraordinary macroeconomic stability in many developed countries (also known as the Great Moderation) by strategic injection of liquidity to maintain aggregate demand. I like how you came up with micro-foundations to respond to the critiques from New Classicals, like menu costs and efficiency wages. Also, good job focusing on the role of demand during the Keynesian resurgence! Your theory remains a comprehensive tool to study the various types of shock that affect the economy and the best ways to deal with them.

Friendly acquaintances

 * [[File:NuKeynesPix.png]] Neo-Keynesianism - We need to use fiscal and monetary policies to alleviate downturns, although you leaned toward the former. During the Golden Age, besides inflation, you outperformed the Washington Consensus in terms of global growth and unemployment. Capital flow was limited, so financial crises were very infrequent around the world. However, the assumption that the trade-off between unemployment and inflation remains true was your biggest flaw, leading to your demise. However, you're still pretty good for your time.

 * [[File:YoriModel.png]] Yori Model - [[File:Marketsoc.png]] Market socialism with robust [[File:Welf.png]] welfare programs is an ideal economic system for both of us. I approve of your [[File:Reform.png]] reformist stance, and your cultural views are very good. Semi-direct [[File:Dem.png]] democracy is a much-needed compromise between representative and direct democracy! [[File:Civnat.png]] Civic nationalism? The most based nationalism! I'm happy that you embrace [[File:Regulationism.png]] economic interventionism to protect the consumers and additional taxation to make society more equitable. I think you just need to be more open about fair trade. Overall, there's absolutely no significant divergence between our views. Truly the best self-insert in this wiki hands down.


 * [[File:Admiralism Icon.png]] Admiralism [[File:Admiralism_alt_icon.png]] - It's good that you endorse regulations to prevent our socialist market economy from going haywire. Your overall economics is essentially social-democratic policies within the framework of a socialist market economy, which is right on. Your world free of economic exploitation and unjustified military interventions is a really great ideal. You don't go too crazy with gun ownership since you understood the negative aspects of absolute gun rights, so that's pretty cool. You're somewhat too big on traditionalism, but your views on integration, social rights, the national identity, and the criminal justice system are more than enough to make up for that. I don't think you can preserve civil liberties well under a single-party state, so your proposal for a reformist semi-direct democracy would be a lot better. My only major objections would be your endorsement of the death penalty, which can hurt the families of the victims and prevent healing, and your economic self-sufficiency, which is very difficult to achieve. All things considered, you're a comrade to me.

Friendly acquaintances

 * [[File:Scarlet Icon.png]] Scarletism - You can be a bit too [[File:Statist.png]] statist at times, but you're still pro-democracy, so you're good on that front. I disagree with some of your [[File:Cultrl cent right.png]] social policies, though. Like, I don't approve of your support of the death penalty along with punitive justice. I also think that you can support a movement for civil rights while also being critical of its other aspects. I have heard about the riots. However, those aren't made by the BLM protesters, but the agent provocateurs. Nonetheless, your concern about people in the BLM movement wanting to abolish the police remains legitimate as even I am opposed to that. What is unchanged about BLM is the call for the end of police brutality, which I think we can both agree on. Besides that, [[File:Laicism.png]] secularism is very cool, and defensive democracy is an interesting concept, so long as you only dissolve political parties as a last resort. Support for [[File:Scientocracy Small.png]] science is great, and so is the restriction of hard drugs. Your proposals to reduce carbon footprint are very comprehensive! And what's more, your economic legislation is close to mine! I like your [[File:Welf.png]] welfare, but I believe it can be more universalist because the employment-impeding policies are present in [[File:Cdem.png]] Christian democracy only, not in [[File:Socdem.png]] social democracy. On the other hand, I am in favor of the [[File:Keynes.png]] Keynesian economics that underpins your social democracy. I don't think we should nationlize every big business, although I agree that some strategic industries are too important to be left up to the market. The fact that you incentivize more [[File:Cooperative Socialism.png]] economic democracy is wonderful, your self-insert is pretty well-thought-out.


 * [[File:Eyebrowsism.png]] Eyebrowsism - You know, I personally like the fact that you're willing to cooperate with other similar nations for mutual interests, whether it's free trade or diplomacy. However, your disregard of national identity will be pretty bad. Patriotism can motivate the population and is needed for social cohesion. Your desire for civil liberties and a responsible government is very admirable, although I'm not sure if free speech absolutism is the way. With that said, your economic policies are quite awesome. Whether we are a capitalist or socialist, strong unions, robust welfare, sensible state interventions, and greater workplace representation are all necessary for a thriving economy! I consider you an ally despite your moderation. Clean page, by the way!


 * [[File:NeoBlartf.png]] Neo-Blartism - What's the deal with your enthusiasm for wildcat strikes, lol? But anyway, [[File:Directdem.png]] direct democracy is good, but not the abolishment of [[File:Republicanismpix.png]] representative democracy. I don't fancy revolutions, especially the first world where we can play by [[File:Dem.png]] democratic rules. Additionally, I am both skeptical of your short-term planning (at least it's [[File:Partip.png]] decentralized) and your long-term [[File:Commie.png]] communist society without the state, money, or a [[File:Markets.png]] market system. You're also too [[File:Ultraprogressivism.png]] culturally left and too [[File:Liberty.png]] civically down. However, there're also other characteristics of yours, like [[File:Fed.png]] federalism and anti-racism, that are enough to offset your downsides. Despite your flaws, I'm glad to find someone who loves workers' self-management, [[File:Synd.png]] organized labor, free movement of people, and opposes the death penalty as much as I do! The market is good for higher productivity, though.

Neutral

 * [[File:NeoImmorx.png]] Neo-Immorxism - I have some criticisms of your economy, some more of the government, and especially on your cultural stance. You restrict soft drugs, [[File:Abort.png]] abortion, and adoption for certain people too much. The punishment for blasphemy and apostasy is way too disproportionate. As for [[File:Gay.png]] LGBT issues, you're still [[File:Conserv.png]] conservative, but I like that you are willing to tolerate people in the community. Economically speaking, a [[File:Statesoc.png]] centrally planned economy is a bad way to distribute resources, and the lack of circulating money doesn't help much. Otherwise, we have more shared beliefs in the economy than I thought. I love the [[File:Synd.png]] organized working class, economic democracy (a crucial element in socialism,) [[File:Envi.png]] the preservation of the environment, and a strong public sector. I'm not a fan of a [[File:UniParti.png]] one-party state because of a high chance of corruption, but your [[File:Directdem.png]] direct democracy can resist that tendency somewhat, so that's cool. You're too hostile to international trade, but [[File:Nation.png]] nationalism and anti-imperialism are based. Generally, you're too [[File:Trad.png]] socially right-wing and centralized but still have mostly good economic traits.


 * [[File:GenShrekf.png]] General Shrekretary Thought - In some instances, nationalizations could be very beneficial for some areas (such as the water industries, healthcare, housing, transportation, etc.) and I'm glad that you have put those under public ownership. However, I think that in any other cases, firms should be cooperatively managed and compete with each other in a market instead of publicly owned due to the risks of stagnation. You shouldn't also use the labor notes, as that could make charities and all cash-based welfare services obsolete. National sovereignty is definitely our point of agreement, like how the movement of capital should be restricted, or how foreign interventions to spread democracy are primarily counter-productive. But your hardline stances on the power of the state and traditional values have held you back. Firstly, liquidating people in the undesirable classes is too violent and should be substituted with integrating them in the new society. Secondly, sex workers might be taboo, but could still be retrained to do other jobs instead of being forced to do hard manual labor. I could argue that the labor camp in and of itself is actually a form of exploitation, but instead of the private employers doing it in factories, you have the state doing it against the criminals and undesirable people. If you care about equality, then you should be in favor of "marriage equality." The idea is that homosexual and bisexual couples should have the same rights as heterosexual ones. Sexual orientation is not a choice and so people with different attractions shouldn't be discriminated against. Additionally, I disagree with your strong revolutionary methods to realize socialism. There's no guarantee that the final outcome can justify the killings in the red terror. There are way fewer deaths involved when you try to work within the democratic system. Ignoring your strong social conservatism, I could work with you to put the key means of production under state ownership, be less entangled in unjustified foreign interventions, enact strong supportive policies for working families, and strengthen the cooperative sector. You can also organize strikes to gain important concessions for the workers and even democratize the economy within the current system and I'll be very grateful for that. However, we would be quite heavily opposed to each other when it comes to cultural policies.


 * [[File:Robot Daveism.png]] Neo-Daveism - Your economics is quite nice. For example, I highly enjoy your advocacy for [[File:Guildsoc.png]] workers' control of their guilds, as self-determination for labor is more productive. As for your social views, it's bad. [[File:Reactcross.png]] Reactionarism is way too far back for me. That's because I like the emphasis on reason, empiricism along with secularism, and [[File:Consti.png]] the constitution. Even though there's nothing inherently wrong with the rule of the most qualified, [[File:Arist.png]] aristocracy is usually undemocratic, as only the nobility holds any power. [[File:Nation.png]] A national identity is needed to preserve our sovereignty, so props to you. Your civic views are mixed, in my opinion. Delegation of power from the central authority is necessary for the daily administration. I don't like [[File:Abmon.png]] absolute monarchism, as one dynasty usually declines until it gets inevitably replaced by another one. [[File:Conmon.png]] Constitutional monarchism can work out, but an established legal framework (a product of the [[File:Monkeyzz-Enlightenment.png]] Enlightenment) would already constrain the monarch. Also, I'm not sure whether a monarch does better than an elected leader. Overall, this's indeed a wacky ideology.


 * [[File:NeoBingo.png]] Neo-Bingoism - You're too undemocratic for me. On the one hand, [[File:Abmon.png]] absolute monarchism creates a large divide between the rulers and the common people. Furthermore, [[File:UniParti.png]] one-party states will most likely repress any competing political organizations. [[File:Strato.png]] The rule of the military is exclusionary, and [[File:Conserv.png]] social conservatism is dated. On the other hand, you're not without some redeeming qualities. [[File:Parl.png]] Parliamentarianism is a much better form of government than a [[File:Prez.png]] presidential system, and I like radical representation of the workers. Not sure about the state meddling in the workplace, but [[File:Synd.png]] syndicalist economics are worthwhile. I'll occasionally ally with you to advance [[File:Soc.png]] socialist policies, but not much else.
