[[File:Neocorporatism.png]] Mutually Beneficial Partnership [[File:Neocorporatism.png]]

 * The Mutually Beneficial Partnership is the official economic model of the Owfist ideology. It is a synthesis of economic policies ranging from:
 * [[File:SocDemCorp.png]] Social Corporatism
 * [[File:Marketsoc.png]] Market Socialism
 * [[File:Socgeo.png]] Social Georgism
 * [[File:Keynes.png]] Keynesianism


 * These are the main tenets of the concept known as the Mutually Beneficial Partnership:

[[File:Cooperative_Socialism.png]] Cooperative-Based Socialism [[File:Cooperative_Socialism.png]]

 * Owfism believes that co-operatives should be the backbone of the economy, with them ensuring economic democracy and free markets.
 * Many co-operatives would become part of local co-operative societies, with responsibilities ranging from building houses to funding election campaigns.
 * Co-operatives will allow workers to together fight for their own causes, that cause being the cause for egalitarianism. The cause for equal profits.
 * These co-operatives will be able to bargain for higher wages, better job safety and even profit sharing, allowing workers to have access to shares within the company.
 * This will allow workers to actually be on the middle class and above the poverty line and not fall to wage labor and food stamps to make ends meet.
 * Co-operatives will also have electoral power, ending the dominance of wealthy lobbyists which allow moderate, pro-business candidates to emerge on top.
 * As such, pro-worker candidates that fight for the common man will begin to win elections, paving the way for a co-operative based society.

[[File:Socgeo.png]] A Fairer Taxation System [[File:Socgeo.png]]
Land Value Tax - 0-20% Inheritance Tax - 20% Sales Tax - 0-10% Windfall Profits Tax - 5% Financial Transactions Tax - 0.1%
 * Another tenet of the Mutually Beneficial Partnership is a form of taxation which Owfism deems to be the most fair and the least bad.
 * These are the taxes that Owfism wants under the Mutually Beneficial Partnership (MBP):
 * A Land Value Tax was popularized by Henry George with the ideology and philosophy of Georgism. Land value caused 80% of the housing price hikes, and implementing such tax will result in the better use of land, lower housing and land prices, this will allow for there to be equal and widespread ownership of property, practically ending if not heavily reducing homelessness. This tax will also serve as a Carbon Tax as harming the environment also means harming the land, as such it will encourage polluters to pollute less. It is also a progressive tax with less valuable land being taxed less and vice versa.
 * More and more wealth today is accumulated through inheritances, as such, essentially leaving most wealth today being accumulated not through hard work, as such, an Inheritance Tax of 20% which will mostly apply to the rich will be set in order to allow the government to help people who were not as lucky to not work a day in their life and just get their wealth from a rich dad/mom. This is a way to make things fairer in society for everyone.
 * A Sales Tax will disincentivize producers of products to create unhealthy products at a large scale, and this will result in the production of things such as plastics, junk food and other unhealthy products to be replaced with biodegradable material, healthy lab-grown food and others. This will phase out plastics and end the garbage pollution problem earlier than without this.
 * A Windfall Profits Tax will apply to forms of wealth earned through dubious ways (except for inheritance, that being applied to Inheritance Tax). This is levied on unforeseen or unexpectedly large profits, this is a one-time tax, with it not really being applied most of the time. However, during periods for example of high inflation this tax will be used so that the government can help its people cope with sudden corporate price gouging.
 * A Financial Transactions Tax is a tax on financial transactions but not on specific assets or organizations. This tax will minimize risk-taking and speculation as these 2 factors often lead to economic crises. This tax will minimize the severity of crises and make them less frequent. It will also maximize revenue allowing the government to help its citizens.

[[File:Newkeynes.png]] Fiscal Policy [[File:Keynes.png]]

 * While the policies of Owfism mentioned above make it harder for an economic crisis to happen and less frequent, economic crises will still happen eventually and as such there must be a policy to address them.
 * When an economy enters a recession, the government will begin a massive spending and borrowing program in order to alleviate the effects of a crisis.
 * This will make it harder for people to fall into unemployment and poverty, as the government will strengthen assistance to people relying on wages to get by and have them have a net they can fall to so that they can come back up to their previous state.
 * This will allow recessions to be solved quicker and to lower their impact on the average citizen and on the economy.
 * Owfism follows a policy of Keynesianism, believing that taxes on lower-income citizens must be lowered and spending to be increased. Resulting in temporary deficit spending only during the crisis.
 * As such, Owfism believes mostly in a balanced budget with deficits only during crisis.
 * The closest form of Keynesianism the ideology follows is [[File:Newkeynes.png]] New Keynesianism.

[[File:SocDemCorp.png]] Means of Production [[File:Tripartism.png]]
Owfism believes in an interesting system of the means of production, with it being like this:

 Markets 

- Small businesses under <25 employees are to be under Market Co-operatives (More private and small business version of Co-operatives)

- Libraries, gyms, local cafes, food stands

- Small digital media and game networks

- Other small businesses

 Workers 

- Some Industries (during economic crisis)

- Most industries (during good economic times)

- Medium to large sized businesses (most of the time)

- I.T, automobile, energy sectors

- Agriculture (mostly)

 Government 

- Some industries (during good economic times)

- Most industries (during economic crisis)

- Temporary Re-nationalization of some sectors during economic crises

[[File:Bankocracy.png]] Monetary Policy [[File:Bankocracy.png]]

 * Owfism believes that the Central Bank should keep interest rates as low as possible as to provide growth and not harm consumers.
 * The rate at which Owfism wants to generally keep interest rates at is around 1.3%
 * The reason I believe this is the rate that we should have is because it is not that low to cause massive inflation and not that high to cause recessions.
 * During economic crises, interest rates will be lowered to near zero values ranging from 0.5% to 0.1% depending on the severity of the recession.
 * This is because it will allow the economy to recover quicker and generate growth never seen before.
 * He believes that the best way to tackle inflation, something which he believes is corporate price gouging is through anti-trust laws and windfall profits taxation. Not interest rate hikes.

[[File:Green_Party_(US).png]] Green New Deal [[File:Ectrans.png]]

 * Owfism believes in the concept of a Green New Deal. A radical transition of the world away from fossil fuels and into renewable energy such as wind, solar, geothermal and other sources.
 * Owfism believes that for the time being energy should be nationalized [[File:Statecap.png]], put under government control in order to ease up the transition.
 * A land value tax will serve as a carbon tax on the biggest polluters while not harming low-income citizens.
 * Unlike American proponents of the Green New Deal, Alexandra Ocasio Cortez and Ed Markey, Owfism believes that Nuclear Energy plays an important role into this.
 * Yes, Nuclear energy may take time and may be more expensive to build, it is a necessary sacrifice that we have to make at least until 2030 as a baseload energy. This is until green hydrogen and other storage techniques become cheaper and better.
 * After a 78% emissions reduction in line with the 1.5 degree celsius target set by the Paris Climate Agreement, 2030-2050 will be the time where we get technologies to finally decarbonize the remaining 22% of emissions and create a post-fossil fuel society that works for us. the people.
 * Owfism believes that post-2050 we should seek to have negative emissions and by that time technologies such as Carbon Dioxide Removal will become cheaper and more advanced, allowing us to finally have a method of reducing emissions, even below net zero.
 * As such, by the end of the 21st century, we will have created a Solarpunk society where we have reached for the stars, where we have learned to co-operate with nature while still growing, where we have learned to be eco-friendly. Where we have learned the principles of solidarity and compassion over greed and profit.
 * This may seem utopian, but the more we come together to achieve this goal the less impossible it becomes and the more realistic and normal it becomes.

[[File:Transh.png]] 4th Industrial Revolution - A Cultural Renaissance [[File:UBI.png]]

 * Owfism believes a new industrial revolution will come out which will drastically improve human technology and cause workplaces to be fully automated.
 * This will create a post-work environment, an environment which means people will not have a source of wage income from their jobs.
 * As such, to make the 4th Industrial Revolution the best industrial revolution there is and not a revolution which puts everyone into poverty except the rich and eradicates the middle class.
 * To address this Owfism wants the implementation of a 1,000$ or 2,000$ Universal Basic Income given to people that are not upper class. This will equalize the two classes and may as well end the lower class entirely as everyone is richer, even the poorest of citizens.
 * With this UBI, people will have more time to explore the world around us, which will basically result in a new Renaissance, with new philosophies and ideas being created by all kinds of people. It allows people to pursue arts, to pursue travel, to have fun.
 * This is all while ensuring economic growth as people will have a cash base to spend their money on thus keeping consumer demand and supply and not just resulting in a complete economic crash. This is coupled with economic automatization which ensures more efficient and higher production.

=Society=

[[File:SocialProgressive.png]] Progress and Liberty [[File:Liberty.png]]

 * Progress and Liberty is the main societal idea behind the ideology of Owfism. Believing that there should be strong individual rights while also ensuring society progresses.
 * This is a comprehensive breakdown of Owfed's societal policy.

[[File:Gay.png]] Marriage [[File:Gay.png]]

 * Owfism supports equal marriage rights to all citizens regardless of sex or gender.
 * As such, Owfism is a stauch supporter of same-sex marriage, believing it to be a step towards individual rights.
 * The ideology believes that what two couples do in their bedroom is no business of the state and should not be a business of the state. However, some basic protections do need to be there.
 * While Owfism generally prefers a progressive social policy, he is opposed to [[File:SJW.png]] SJWs [[File:Ultraprogressivism.png]] because of the fact that they advocate for culturally extremist policies, going as far as to wanting homosexual supremacy and state-enforced atheism.
 * As such, he is more sympathetic to the [[File:Sjwliteicon.png]] SJW-lite movement [[File:Prog.png]]. A less extremist movement that has more tolerable societal policies, and prefers marriage equality over homosexual supremacy.

[[File:GRights.png]] Guns [[File:GRights.png]]

 * We need to have gun rights as it protects our liberty and contrary to gun control arguments does not really do that much harm if you have an universal healthcare system.
 * Guns protect us from criminals just in time before the police can arrive and catch him.
 * Guns are also a tool of protection from tyranny and a tool of national liberation. As said by Hitler, to conquer a country you must first dis-arm its citizens.
 * Gun violence is often attributed to weak, low quality and not universal mental healthcare programs that must be rapidly developed in order to combat mental health problems. Switzerland for example has high rates of gun ownership but little gun crimes.
 * Guns protect citizens from unnecessary authority and from crime, and gives you a sense of security.
 * Guns are part of individual rights and must be upheld.

[[File:Liberty.png]] Freedom of Speech [[File:Civlibert.png]]

 * Owfism believes that there must be a constitutional bill of rights which uphelds individual rights, ranging from privacy to gun ownership.
 * Owfism believes that the surveillance state is against privacy and as such must be repealed.
 * Owfism also wants social media to be a free place of communication where anyone can say what they want, and to believe what they want without being watched or banned.
 * This is to uphold freedom of speech and individual rights. While Owfism may seem like a free speech absolutist, he is not really, still supporting a little amount of regulation especially when stuff goes too far.
 * As such, he is a near-free speech absolutist, only putting limitations on it in extremely rare cases.
 * Owfism believes that most of all freedom of speech is an important aspect of society as it allows political competition and allows diverse ranges of opinion, and as such makes politics not look bland and not lesser of two evils politics, like in the USA.

[[File:FreeSpeak.png]] Freedom of Information [[File:Civlibert.png]]

 * Another main aspect of Owfism is his support of freedom of information.
 * With this, he advocates for an abolition of copyright, calling it an abusive tool used by companies to restrict access to products even when most needed. And also as unnecessary censorship.
 * He also wants tech companies to have different streams of income through private ads and not through watching civilians through the internet and gathering personal data about them regardless of their societal importance.
 * He believes that tech giants like Facebook, Microsoft, Apple and others should be broken up to ensure more competition and a bigger stream of news from different social media sites.
 * This will spread freedom of information to new levels never seen before.

[[File:Pro-ChoiceRemade.png]] Abortion [[File:Pro-ChoiceRemade.png]]

 * Owfism believes that abortion should be a guaranteed right as the government should not enforce women, most of them who are in danger to do abortions.
 * This illegalization of abortions will lead to women doing unsafe abortions, further harming themselves in the process.
 * Overall though, I do not really care about this. I do not understand why it is not normal for women to choose.

[[File:Fem.png]] Pay Gaps [[File:MLK.png]]

 * This probably is a more economic issue rather than a societal issue however, I am still gonna put it in this section because it mostly seems to be portrayed as a societal rather than economic issue.
 * Owfism personally believes that the gender pay gap and racial pay gap must end and that women should make as much as men and blacks should make as much as whites. We cannot have a true meritocracy when some are born to be paid less regardless of their job.
 * To allow the pay gap to be fixed, massive wage increases need to be implemented and an end to the era of stagnant wages must come to a close. Affirmative action is also a solution in order to allow women and black people to get hired based on capacity to perform a job rather than their skin or gender.

[[File:Urbanism.png]] Property [[File:Urbanism.png]]

 * We need to build a shit ton of houses to solve the housing price crisis that is constantly looming upon us.
 * These housing prices generate bubbles and will pop, making rise for anti-democratic politicians with no regards to law and privacy.
 * As such, we must make it legal for social housing complexes to be built all across the country to ensure free, affordable housing.
 * A Land Value Tax will also be a key tool in lowering housing prices down to more regular levels. Same with 3D-printed homes. Automating housing construction.
 * But, fuck one-story suburban houses and rent controls. Worst shit ever.
 * With this we can achieve widespread ownership of property for everyone and finally end homelessness everywhere. Ending homelessness is a first step in ending poverty.

[[File:Secular.png]] State and Religion [[File:Secular.png]]
=International Stage =
 * On matters of religion, Owfed is a non-practicing [[File:Orth.png]] Orthodox Christian. While he is affiliated to one of Christianity's branches, his overall stances on religion reflect a more secular idea.
 * Owfism supports the separation of church and state, believing that the church should not play a role in politics as that can just lead to a Oligarchy but not by the wealthy but by the church.
 * He believes that matters of religion should be kept personal and should not be connected to politics.
 * Owfism believes that there should be no official state religion, upholding the spirit of freedom of religion, allowing anyone to practice whatever religion they like.
 * Owfism himself is an Agnostic Secularism, believing that nothing has been known and cannot be known about the existence of god. Being something that we cannot prove.
 * He wants churches to be taxed like any other institutions are taxed.
 * He is opposed to state-forced secularism but also to religious theocracy as both are according to him systems that fight against the freedom to have beliefs and should be opposed in the name of liberty.
 * Owfism is also against Islamic radicals who have gained more traction thanks to Saudi and American subsidies but also against any kind of religious fundamentalists or secular fundamentalists believing them to be extremists seeking to tear up society.

[[File:World_Federalism2.png]] Unity and Solidarity [[File:Globnat.png]]

 * Unity and Solidarity is the main international policy tenet which comprises of all international policy advocated by Owfed.

[[File:European_Federalism.png]] On EU [[File:Cball-EU.png]]

 * I personally think the European Union is a very good idea as it actually paves road to an eventual united world government and ensures stronger international unity and co-operation.
 * However, in the current state, the EU just straddles a weird middle where its not too de-integrated but not too integrated. Leading to a bureaucratic mess.
 * I also oppose its use of forced austerity upon non-complying member states during the 2008 crisis, should had used Keynesian fiscal spending, would had saved you on the employment and economic growth issue, just saying...
 * Overall, Owfism believes that the European Union should unite into a Federation known as the [[File:Cball-USE.png]] United States of Europe.
 * While right-wingers try to blame the EU being strong for the reason that the 2014 Refugee crisis I think the opposite.
 * If the European Union had been a single country it would had known how to have handled the situation and would have been much more united and not have had a constant fragmentation which has lead to the rise of [[File:Rpop-tinfoilhat.png]] Right-wing populists
 * The European Union could had also handled the 2008 crisis better had it been an unified state and not the current middle-point full of bureaucracy and overall a mess.
 * European Federalism is also a stepping stone in unifying the World, and with a unified world comes a unified people. A nation which can be unified in solving anything: Climate change, housing crisis etc.
 * Owfism also wants voting by member state to be done based on how parliaments do it: That being if a proposal has a majority of states supporting it then it passes. Sadly, the EU has a veto-based system where 1 state can just end it all.

[[File:World_Federalism2.png]] A New World [[File:Cball-UN.png]]

 * Owfism supports drastic United Nations reform if it wants to continue in this day and age.
 * First set of reforms is, like the EU, removing the veto-based system and instead installing a majoritarian system where if more than half of countries support a proposal then it can pass.
 * Many UN motions which could had been good and could had passed did not because of a few un-wanting countries who were not even a quarter of countries.
 * The ideology believes that the United Nations should have far more power to respond to coups and to conflicts, as the previous League of Nations was dissolved because it was essentially worthless at stopping war. This cannot happen to the UN.
 * Owfism also believes the United Nations should be more integrated, integrating into a World Federation.
 * Owfism also wants the head of state of a World Federation to be the general secretary.
 * However, he will be subject to an Earth Council, a council similar to parliaments we have today. And members of the council will be elected by the people. The General Secretary will be the leader of the largest party in the council and if he does not have a majority he works on a case by case basis with other political parties.
 * To achieve a fully integrated United Nations we need to first achieve a fully integrated European Union, as that will set in an example, then removing the veto system will also be a major step in allowing integration to happen.
 * Another thing I want there is to be an Earth Supreme Court, a supreme court which deals with international cases or to trial war criminals that have resulted in the deaths of many people in the respective countries that were at war. This would ensure international justice is respected and the UN actually has a reputation of fighting for law and justice.
 * What benefits would a united world have on society?
 * Well, first off, it will basically allow us to co-operate in ways we have never done before. Since the world is one country, net zero targets by 2050 and massive emission cuts by 2030 will apply to all areas around the world, making our climate action be far more significant.
 * It also ensures the classical liberal principles of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. However, we must transcend unbridled capitalism and create a new society.
 * We must build out a new system, based on the principles of the Green New Deal, as I mentioned in another section of this page.
 * With a United World, we can have a 4th industrial revolution, one which gives in to automation, AI and technology as a whole. (however, AI will have some regulation as to prevent life-threatening AI from being made)
 * This is why Owfism embraces Transhumanism, as it heavily favors the use of technology and artificial intelligence in the economy and in society. However, he is not an extreme transhumanist like others.
 * With a united world, we can reach for the stars, advance on the Kardashev scale, we first have the power over a planet, then over our solar system, then over other solar systems and then maybe even the galaxy. [[File:Kardashev.png]] Kardashev accelerationism time

[[File:Rpop-tinfoilhat.png]] How to stop Right-Wing Populism [[File:Rpop.png]]

 * The rise of right-wing populism has been massive this decade, with right-wing populists even entering the United States White House, a country once thought to be an impenetrable bastion of liberal democracy.
 * Right-wing populism is the biggest barrier to the diplomacy of globalization since the Cold War of the United States. However, if globalization wins out then we could expect the best. However, not just capitalist globalization, but alternative globalization. One which combines world federalism and solidarity.
 * But first, we must look at the main root causes of this massive rise before we can finally look at the solutions we can do to combat this issue of populism. So what are the root causes? Well, the root causes are:

1. Housing Crisis 2. Stagnating Wages (WIP)
 * Yes, the first cause of this is the housing crisis. Ever since we have began to privatize housing in the 1970s and 1980s housing has become an investment, like fine art or the stock market. This is not normal, and it leads to more speculation in the economy and risky investments.
 * The housing market all came crashing down during the Great Housing Bubble in 2008, which had been essential to the rise of populists all across the world as people fell into hopelessness of the current system.
 * How do we solve this? Well it is actually really simple. We begin to put housing temporarily under the control of the government, later in control of worker co-operatives and we drastically ramp up housing construction in order to decrease housing prices thus putting less pressure on potential house owners or renters.
 * Another main source of discontent with the current system are stagnating wages.
 * Ever since the 1970s with the implementation of neoliberal economic policies wages have stagnated.
 * This as such has turned people to right-wing populism, especially in the United States. Now you may be thinking, but Right-Wing populists are capitalists!
 * Well, yes, they are. But they are very good at portraying themselves as the champions of the people.
 * As such, if the system wants to keep itself around it must end this stagnation and end the pay gaps between male-female and white-black if liberal democracy will continue to last.

=Philosophy=

[[File:Nietzsche.png]] Eternal Recurrence [[File:Nietzsche.png]]

 * Owfism believes in the concept of eternal recurrence as thought of by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche.
 * As such, I believe that the universe will happen again and the cycles that Owfism would call creation, expansion and contraction would constantly happen.
 * While he doesnt believe that everything down to the atom would be a complete copy of a previous universe, he does believe that the 3 important concepts of the universes metaphysics do repeat, those are the three cycles mentioned above.
 * As such, Owfism believes that a Big Bang and Big Crunch have happened in an infinite amount of times and will continue to happen in an infinite amount of time as well.
 * With this, Owfism believes that humanity has existed in every universe and will at the maximum die at the Big Crunch or earlier, believing that humanity cannot escape this infinite cycle and it cannot even be tried.

[[File:Aristotle.png]] Three Causes [[File:Aristotle.png]]

 * I personally support the concept of the Three Causes, but wait, isn't that the Four Causes?
 * Well, yes it is. But I personally think there is a fatal flaw with the Fourth Cause, as it gets very confusing once you include things like the Fountain of Youth and other examples.
 * The fourth cause is the final purpose of the thing which I came to find out it really gets confusing with some objects.
 * As such, I support the concepts of the Three Causes in society that relate to objects:
 * Material Cause (the composition of a material)
 * Formal Cause (the arrangement of matter)
 * Efficient Cause (the function and how the object came to be)

[[File:Socrates.png]] Socratic Wisdom [[File:Socrates.png]]

 * Owfism believes in Socratic Wisdom, that being the fact that true wisdom is when we know that we actually know nothing.
 * This can be easily be said true as while this was said in Ancient Greece even today we still know next to nothing even about our own planet.
 * Owfism believing that humanity must embrace the wisdom that while we can know more stuff wisdom will always land to the fact that we know nothing as almost every day new stuff that we thought was impossible is possible.
 * Humanity may never come close to knowing everything about our universe, however, that does not mean we should try, but it is very good for us to know that we know that we know nothing about the things around us.

[[File:Rene_Descartes_.png]] Methodological Doubt [[File:Rene_Descartes_.png]]

 * Owfism is in favor of the Cartesian form of Methodological Doubt, believing that humanity must doubt everything that it knew up until that point.
 * This ties in well into Socratic Wisdom as humanity knows nothing, it must be skeptical of everything it knows so far. As new things once thought to be impossible appear to actually be possible.
 * As such, he believes skepticism to be a positive trait that humanity must embrace as it allows humans to learn new things and not be limited to the things it already knows.

[[File:Kant.png]] Kantian Epistemology [[File:Kant.png]]

 * Another part of Owfed's epistemology is the epistemology advocated for by philosopher Immanuel Kant.
 * It believes that the way we experience the world is made up of 3 main things: Understanding, Intuition and Reason.
 * Of these three, Owfism believes that Reason is the most important part of these three, and it believes in a cycle that goes like this:
 * With reason you develop intuition, as without a high concentration of reason you cannot ditch it in favor of intuition. And without intuition you cannot develop an understanding. While reason can also develop understanding, intuition is also an important part.
 * As such, Owfism believes that without reason one will not have intuition nor understanding. And without intuition one will not have understanding.

[[File:Virtue_ethics_icon.png]] Virtue [[File:Virtue_ethics_icon.png]]

 * Owfism follows the concept of Aristotelian Virtue Ethics and the 3 virtues, with the 3 virtues according to Owfism being:
 * Wisdom, Friendship and Justice.
 * Wisdom - the ability to learn, thinking different from perspectives, putting knowledge into practice.
 * Friendship - the practice of trust, forming of bonds with others.
 * Justice - giving credit where credit's due.
 * Owfism rejects the concepts of Hedonism (Endless pleasure and happiness) and Nihilism (Endless sadness and hopelessness), however, he does not reject happiness or sadness. Believing:
 * One is virtuous not if he is not happy or sad, but if one knows how to control both and balance them as a person. To be a virtuous person is to know what is good (what you should do) and what is bad (what you should not do). This is virtue.

[[File:Consequentialism.png]] The Ethics of Consequences [[File:Consequentialism.png]]

 * Owfism believes that actions should be done if they have good consequences. This is where the Consequentialist view of Owfism comes in.
 * To know whether an action is good or bad, thus to be conducted, you would use intuition.
 * Owfism believes that humans must be able to know what actions they should do based on the societal consequences of that said action or something related to that action.
 * But, doing the actions themselves requires reason and understanding. An example of this is listing the pros and cons of an action so that you can know based on intuition which is right or wrong.
 * Our decisions should be based on what is best for the future as we cannot go back and change the past after we made a bad action. This is a good justification for consequentialism. And this shall be the main driving force behind how we do our actions.

[[File:Eudaimonia.png]] Human Flourishing [[File:Eudaimonia.png]]

 * Owfist philosophy also supports the concept of Eudaimonia (Human Flourishing).
 * Eudaimonia is the highest human good, the good that all humans should desire.
 * What is Eudaimonia? Eudaimonia is pleasure. Eudaimonia is happiness. Eudaimonia is how humans can live happily without doing Hedonistic actions, actions which can go too far.
 * Owfism believes in the aretaic idea of Eudaimonism, the idea that it is thus a virtue.
 * This ethical idea is the main framework of the policy of Owfism, as all of Owfist politics from World Federalism to the Green New Deal all root out from the idea of Human Flourishing.
 * Human Flourishing you could say is the main core of the entirety of Owfist ethics, but not just ethics but also the core of politics as all of his politics are done with the goal of human flourishing.
 * Individual rights stem from Human flourishing as with full-on collectivism people are subject to the state and do everything based on the state's will and are not free to pursue happiness. Thus you cannot have human flourishing with full-on collectivism.

[[File:Indlibsoc.png]] Wildean Individualism [[File:Indlibsoc.png]]

 * Owfist philosophy is also in favor of the philosophy of Irish poet Oscar Wilde, who advocated for an individualistic version of Libertarian Socialism.
 * So, what is Wildean Individualism?
 * Well, Wildean individualism is a society that seeks to uphold individual rights, to free the individual while also ensuring collective welfare and happiness of the populace.
 * The way to achieve this is to create a bill of rights to achieve individualism and the collective part of this, the co-operatives, they ensure the collective happiness and welfare of the populace as the state and the market play a bystander role in this.
 * As such, human flourishing requires some collectivism that being through government assistance, universal basic income and worker co-operatives. However, it is mostly grounded in individualism, pursuing individual rights such as the right to bear arms, the right to life & liberty, the right to pursue happiness etc.
 * Wildean Individualism is the main societal framework according to Owfism used to easily achieve human flourishing as it balances the good things of individualism (individual rights) and collectivism (collective happiness).

[[File:Panhumanism.png]] Pan-Humanism [[File:Panhumanism.png]]

 * Owfism believes that we should care for humans globally, for humans all across the world. As all humans are well, humans and they should not be treated differently.
 * As such, Owfism believes that there should be a Kosmos (greek for Global State) that cares for all humans all across the globe regardless of their skin, race or gender.
 * Owfism rejects the concept of human nationalism, believing it to be too anthropocentric and ignoring the role of nature has on our planet and society. And that environmental rights should also be upheld.
 * Owfism believes that humans should co-operate in order to reach new levels never seen before in humanity and that international co-operation of humans is of utmost importance.

[[File:Bioeq.png]] Bioequalism [[File:Bioeq.png]]

 * Bioequalism is the main environmental stance that is the main framework for the environmentalist policies of Owfism, that being the Green New Deal.
 * Owfism believes that all living species, humans and animals should have equal rights and that humans should protect animals and nature as without them humanity will die itself.
 * But well, how will humanity get its meat? Simple. Through laboratory-grown meat as technology advances, we will not require animal cruelty in our food and instead rely on a more natural and healthy diet.
 * As such, this requires the end of "Big Meat", the end of fast food, and disincentivize the use of McDonalds, KFC and other fast foods. As they are unhealthy to the environment but also to the human. As such, they hinder human flourishing as to be flourished you must be healthy.

[[File:Cosmo.png]] The Philosophy of Globalization [[File:Cosmo.png]]

 * Owfism is a firm cosmopolitan, agreeing with Roman Stoics like Marcus Aurelius, believing that while humans may be citizens of a country there are most importantly citizens of the entire world.
 * Owfism believes the process of globalization is an inevitable one and has shown to be inevitable over historical periods of time, and while it has had many barriers it typically came out of them stronger than it was before. And it will do so again as it will fight against the barrier of Strongman politics.
 * Owfism believes in a new theory of history that goes like this:

Primitivism (2.000.000 BCE-10000 BCE)

Isolationism (10000 BCE-900 AD)

Feudalism (900 AD-1500 AD)

Mercantilism (1500 AD-1700 AD)

Protectionism (1700 AD-1980 AD)

Globalism (1980 AD-???)

Galacticism (???-???)


 * He believes that there will be a next phase of Globalism known as Galacticism, one which is more humanitarian and co-operative while being more globalist, inevitably going beyond simple internationalism and reaching the period of a unified Earth, with humanity being a galactic species.
 * It is historically proven according to Owfism that humanity always becomes more and more global as time continues to pass and as such will continue to become more globalist.

[[File:Dem.png]] Virtuous and corrupt forms of government [[File:Oligarchy.png]]

 * Another main part of Owfist philosophical politics is the concept of virtuous governments and corrupt governments.
 * Virtuous governments are governments which know what actions they should do based on their consequences on the greater good, uphold justice and the constitution in order to ensure impartial politics and are good at fighting against potential breaches from illegal sources into the political system of said country.
 * Corrupt governments on the other hand only do actions which benefit themselves, get rid of checks and regulations upon their power in order to enrich themselves and make them have ultimate control over the decisions of society and the spread of information. Corrupt governments are often ruled by a wealthy elite which only seeks to impoverish the rest and enrich themselves. However, it could sometimes be under a mob rule which seeks to only enrich a collective part of the population while ditching another.
 * With that said, this is according to Owfism the virtuous and corrupt forms of government:
 * [[File:Liberal_Democracy.png]] Liberal Democracy (Virtuous form) and [[File:Oligarchy.png]] Oligarchy (Corrupt form)
 * [[File:Directdem.png]] Direct Democracy (Virtuous form) and [[File:OchloAngry.png]] Ochlocracy (Corrupt form)
 * [[File:Auto.png]] Autocracy (Virtuous form) and [[File:Totalitarian.png]] Tyranny (Corrupt form)

[[File:Socrates.png]] Socratic Seminar [[File:Athdem.png]]
=Aesthetics= Owfist aesthetics are based on: Solarpunk is the main idea behind the aesthetical views of Owfism, being backed up by the concepts of Bioequalism, Green New Deal and Bright-Green Environmentalism. =Personality= Owfism is an INTP and is a  Enneagram 5w4 (yes, Owfism used to be an INTJ 5w6 but that was a mistype, I was pretty dumb at MBTI back then.) Traits of INTP: Quiet Reserved Thoughtful Traits of 5w4: Curious Creative =Relations= Work in progress
 * Another main political belief of Owfist philosophical politics is the concept of the Socratic seminar, as advocated for by ancient Greek philosopher Socrates.
 * In this system, the leader asks open-ended questions to the populace of a country, in order to hear their thoughts on the system and to learn the populace on how to think critically for themselves.
 * The Socratic Seminar is also a good way to make sure the leader is in touch with his populace, thus allowing the form of government to be a virtuous one, a government which cares about the greater good of the individual and the community.
 * It also informs the leader on the issues that the people have with the system and how this can be changed to favor the people over the elite.
 * This system favors virtue over corruption and is as such advocated by Owfism.

 * [[File:DemocratF.png]] Democratism - This is complicated. The Democrats are better than the Republicans and I would had put them in Frenemies, however, we must not ignore that your Centrism and them being also taken over by corporations just result in barely any action in repealing previous Republican legislation. Most Democrats are just in the hands of corporate pockets and are GOP-lite. Only Sanders and other American progressive democrats are really keeping me from not hating it completely like the GOP.
 * [[File:USAGOP.png]] American Republicanism - The GOP is literally a far-right party, it is easily seen by the January 6th insurrection, the GOP-dominated Supreme Court. When the Democrats have a narrow majority in Congress, the GOP does everything to prevent the Democrats from doing actually good actions, and as such, their actions are limited and barely undo previous GOP nonsense laws. Then in the midterms they take over Congress and implement laws which practically undo all the good Democrats implemented.
 * [[File:PSD.png]] - Very bad Romanian political party, the only remotely good thing is their economics I guess, however, their massive amounts of corruption and very terrible social policies and religion policies just makes them worse.
