Federal Communalism

Federal Communalism is a ideology which draws heavily from the writings of American  Murray Bookchin, especially his ideas on. It is strongly against centralization of power and sees decentralization as the only viable method of preserving a revolution. However, in believing that the state can and should be a source of good when under the direct control of its constituents, it advocates for a government with strictly limited state power. While it is, it retains elements to benefit the working class here and now.

Philosophy
Federal Communalism arises out of the idea that all humans, as well as their well-being, are morally equal. This compels care for the weak and the enforcement of equity. Since human well-being is tied to environmental well-being, it is also environmentalist and sees climate change as an existential threat. However, individual liberties are important for a free society, so enforced complete equity is seen as detrimental to freedom.

Comrades
- Usually on the statist and reformist side, but principled and a valuable inspiration. - The focus on spontaneity might be fatal to the revolution, but the principles are impeccable. - RIP and fuck the SPD. Es lebe die USPD! - Not pragmatic enough, but the goals are good and realistic. All hail Howie Hawkins! - Not quite as good as, but still admirable in its pursuits. - Anti-social socialism. - The movement is full of idiots, but the ideas are based. - What Catholic Social Teaching could have been. - My friends. - I personally don’t care for the aesthetic, but this is some good stuff. Hedonism - We are all hedonists. - I’m not in favor of price increases, but warning labels could be used to discourage socially burdensome behaviors in rare situations. This is essential to keep enough order for society to function.

Self-Inserts
Rocksism - Significantly more moderate, but still within the same realm. The main differences are over globalism. AshleyHereism - Quite utopian in end goal. A gift economy would not function well on a large scale, and I see it as beneficial to have larger-scale countries. I also find the absence of the state dangerous. Still quite agreeable in all other beliefs. Owfism - A ton of overlap. The main difference seems to be the focus on higher levels of government rather than local governments. Regardless, it still values decentralization to a degree. Self-determination being a central tenet of Federal Communalism, I disagree with World Federalism. The attempts at international unity won’t work, and separatist movements will form and fight back if they don’t resist joining in the first place. International cooperation is great, but a permanent government would be too much pressure on many countries. Also, global corporations would ideally not be allowed to exist at all. I’m also a determinist. We have no free will. Yoda8soup Thought - Why does everyone like world federalism? Perfect otherwise, though with a bit too much emphasis on markets. Glencoeism - *claims not to be a socialist* *is practically a socialist* While it doesn’t provide as many services through the government as is preferable, it still is full of great ideas. Some of the policies are too specific to be applied everywhere, as it was designed for the U.S. The technocratic council is an interesting idea, but I think it better to educate those with good intentions than to trust those who may have bad intentions. Also abolish the death penalty and postpone space travel until we can be eco-friendly about it. }}

Decent People
Corbynism - What do we want? “A gradual increase of the minimum wage to a still-below-livable amount!” When do we want it? “Incrementally over a period of five years!” - Quite reductionist at points. However, it provides some great insight into sociology. It also inspired many of the greatest political movements the world has ever seen. - We May see eye-to-eye on social issues, but capitalism kills. - I may be willing to work with authoritarians, but you better believe I will fight with them on their statism. - The intentions are all there, but the methods are a recipe for disaster. The authoritarianism of Lenin combined with an unwillingness to compromise results in an ideology which has all the same problems as while being more susceptible to all the problems of hyperauthoritarianism. - Wrong. - Fuck the KPD. Roman Stoicism - Quite outdated in some areas, but a good ideology overall. Cartesianism - While Descartes has been somewhat influential on my own philosophy, he had plenty of pitfalls. The one that I am most familiar with is his apologetics for God’s existence. I won’t even begin with those. His politics and their justifications were also generally bad. - Wrong. However, no revolution begins without the public seeing what the left can provide them with. Reformism should be embraced while the foundation of the revolution is being built. - A LVT is a great idea while land ownership is allowed, which should only happen as an interim measure. {{Collapse|

American Social Democracy - My former politics. Capitalism is exploitative by nature. Not even a robust welfare system (even with lots of other bells and whistles) can fix the disaster that is production for profit, and the wealthy won’t give up their wealth without a fight. Semi-presidential systems being less democratic than, as a close alternative, full parliamentary systems makes the claim of being “democratic” sound dubious (though of course I am not doubting MATT’s honesty). The mention of ceremonial monarchs opens another yet path, but suffice it to say that I disagree. On Social Authoritarianism, I am reminded unsettlingly of. Also, planning on a national level should be rare, if ever, in order to best meet the needs of local communities. This would also greatly diminish the need for a market economy at all. Also, nationalism in any form… No. Otherwise delectable. }}

Scourge of the Earth
Statism - Leads to the suppression of individual rights quite easily. - A group may be a mere “collection of individuals,” but a society works together for the benefit of all. (Also see caption.) - No better word than idiocy. - You shouldn’t be able to own more land than that your house is on. Begone with your “objectivist” crap. - Crap. - BEGONE! - Philosophically unfounded and always dangerous. - Philosophically unfounded and always dangerous. - Two in one! - All the right thoughts with all the wrong conclusions. Not valuable as a comrade either. - Free market my ass. - The “pink” is just a front to sell more products. - Based economics. Nothing else. Not even the critiques of capitalism are good. (Update: Fuck the economics too.) is still feudalism. - The deregulation coupled with massive privatisation is the most disgusting idea since Reagan himself. Now the US government is infested with these “progressive” hawks. - Against everything I stand for. - Authoritarian collectivist bullshit. - Personality cult around a guy who tried (and mostly failed) to make a dictatorship out of a country which has a long history of liberal democracy. Also AuthRight for good measure. (Update: Trump has gone completely off the rails now. Because of this, Trumpism has also gone off the rails. I swear the guy is trying to push all the moderates who liked him away. It’s fascinating.) - Unfettered individualism is precisely one of the largest problems with capitalism. - I swear I’ve seen this before… - Late-stage. - Blind contrarianism for the sake of contrarianism. Also bad in every way. - Bad in every way but worse. - Bipartisanism is only good when both sides have good ideas. Cuteservatism - Misogynistic and pro-free market capitalism. - “More women CEOs” but unironically. - Nothing to add. Anti-Communism - There are certain lines I draw when deciding whether to work with others. Communism is not one of them. If we share most of the same goals, we share enough. I love you commies. - What if instead of negotiating with the oppressive, self-interested state and employers we just minimize their existence? Just a thought. - It would be tolerable if eugenics weren’t part of it. - Marx and Lenin roll in their graves every time a ML speaks. Also the PSL can go to Hell. - I had to cleanse my eyes with r/antitankporn after reading about him. - Defeatist idealism. - Utopian. - Dystopian utopia. - Self-absorbed, philosophically shallow idiots. Post-civs are the worst. In fact, the entire post-left is like this. - Counterrevolutionary scum. - A stupid idea with a stupid philosophy behind it. - Self-determination need not include land, and I am opposed to land ownership beyond practicality. Thomism - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA How is this guy taken seriously? Natural Law Theory - Indescribably wrong, and the implications of accepting it are even worse. An essay debunking this coming soon to a blog hub near you. - Easily manipulated and usually misguided. This is the main Catholic “criticism” of Marxism. Of course, class conflict doesn’t have to involve a group of elites who are all consciously suppressing the proletariat. There is plenty of unconscious suppression being done. Not everything rich people do is in the name of hurting us. Thoreauism - The embodiment of American Romanticism. Ego-Capitalism - Ignores a lot of ideas from Stirner himself in order to create a true hellscape. It’s a special kind of bad. - Classical Liberalism but coherent. Deontological Ethics - Wrong and with reprehensible consequences.

WTF
Authoritarian Libertarianism - Wrong, wrong, wrong. - Maoism + anti-intellectualism. No. Reichsbürgerbewegung - How the hell did Qanon spread to Germany? I swear the more I read on this the crazier it gets. You even got a bunch of “kaisers” setting up their own “kingdoms” while not even being descended from the actual Kaisers. Then there was this idea that Donald Trump was going to come to Berlin and restore the “real” Reich. The fun never ends. - Holy shit. - This was real. People actually believed this. - What do you mean “totalitarianism is bad”? - Nope. Just no. How does anyone unironically believe this? - ……?

Fuck You in Particular
- 9/11 never forget. - The state profiting off its own people? Disgusting. - Conservative authoritarian capitalism disguised as “socialism.” Pathetic. Stalinism - You too. Xi Jinping Thought - When Deng didn’t sell out his own people enough. Mesoconservatism - The worst sides of and  combined. All redeeming qualities go out the window. Pragerism - but adapted to conform less to reality and be broadcasted through Dennis Prager’s propaganda network.

Gang
- Gang.


 * -|Political Parties=

Home
GPUS - Actually very similar to my own beliefs. - You can’t say no to a pirate party.

Passable
- Doing good. Still not socialist. - This might be more popular if the U.S. didn’t have a rampant individualism problem.

Ass
- Centrist neoliberal trash. A corporate hijacking of what should be a powerful workers’ movement. - At least Libertarians want to get rid of the bad parts of the government too. - If you don't hate the PSL, you should hate the PSL. - Only a ML party like the PSL can outstrip this abomination. They even got scared over federal agents raiding Donald Trump's residence for classified documents. "If they can do it to a highly suspicious former president who is a known simp for various dictators, they can come for you too." (Also, "Unconscious Trotskyist" my ass. Castro was okay at best.) - Most members aren’t even actual libertarians. They want the government out of economics and nothing else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this. - Not the worst ML party out there, but still an ML party. Its glory days are over, and it’s now probably about to be fucked over by those “MAGA Communists” who are trying to infiltrate it. I feel bad for those still in it honestly.

Home
- The marketing is terrible. The party will not get much done. But Bündnis 90 isn't far left enough and Ökologische Plattform exists, so here I am. - It's a pirate party. How can you say no?

Passable
- Used to be a party (admittedly with a questionable track record). Now they put the “center” in “center-left”. - A center-left green party.

Ass
- RightLib scumbags. - If you don't hate the CDU, you should hate the CDU. The CSU is only worse. - The CDU but on crack. I don't believe a single member was sober when they joined. - Imagine only not being banned because you're too small to make a difference. - Definitely not just the KPD trying to circumvent their ban. Also fuck the KPD. }} {{Collapse|
