[[File:Geolibsoc.png]] Mutually Beneficial Partnership [[File:DistProg.png]]
The main goal of Owfism is to create what is to be known as a Mutually Beneficial Partnership, this economic idea seeks to synthesize the ideas of  Geolibertarian Socialism,  Market Socialism,  Distributist Progressivism and the ideas of a  Mixed-Market Economy. The sections below will mention the main tenets of this Mutually Beneficial Partnership:

[[File:Cooperative_Socialism.png]] Cooperative-Based Socialism [[File:Cooperative_Socialism.png]]
A main tenet of Owfist economics is the idea of Cooperative-Based socialism, this will ensure there will still be markets while still helping the people, believing that the existence of cooperative based socialism will make it easier to achieve socialism in the place.

Owfism believes that unions of today have become corrupted, and as such it believes that  co-operatives serve a better job than unions, who can more easily fight for worker ownership of the means of production, workers self management and eventually the  automatization and  abolition of work itself.

Owfism believes that worker co-operatives are to be shaping the economy of the 4th industrial revolution, a  post-industrial,  post-work society where the  environment is held as equally important and people are not subject to the activity of work, one which can be easily done by a emotionless, perfect machine not a emotionful, imperfect human.

Now, it will take quite some time to abolish work itself, in the mean time,  worker co-operatives will play a role in fighting for self-management, democracy and eventually ownership of production.

There will be co-operatives in all sectors of the economy, with there being co-operative societies in these sectors competing amongst each other, thus the element of the market.

Co-operative societies not only will have competitive power but they would also have political power allowing for pro-worker politicians  to be elected more often and allowing for  big money to get out of politics.

Co-operatives will also play a role in tax collection,  housing construction,  media and many other sectors, including  technology.

Why are co-operatives so good? Well, they are owned by the workers and are thus inherently beneficial to the workers, as it allows them to express themselves more in their workplace, thus increasing their freedoms, their  democratic rights and later the means of production.

[[File:DistProg.png]] Economic Distributism [[File:DistProg.png]]
Another economic idea Owfism supports aside from Georgism is the idea of  Distributism.

With this, Owfism believes that there should be widespread ownership of property among the people, which will drive housing prices down as there would be a good supply of houses in the first place, with this, homelessness can say goodbye, it won't be missed.

Another thing Owfism believes in relation to Distributism is the idea that the economy should mainly be driven by small and medium size businesses, stopping the rise of big businesses like monopolies through  anti-trust laws and an  economic constitution.

Why does Owfism believe this? Well, small and medium size businesses are just there to give what the people need and want, with Owfism also believing that if there are many small businesses and medium size businesses then there will be true economic competition and it prevents the power of  big business from creeping into the political system.

Owfism also believes that big business is corrupt and that it engages in worker oppression and that it also exports jobs abroad thus causing places like the Midwest to be desolate and poor, a shadow of what it once was, this does not happen with medium size business and especially not with small size business.

There will be tax credits and incentives for people willing to start a business, allowing it to jump out of zero and become competitive, however, it shall not become a massive business, as to ensure true economic competition remains.

However, while original distributism is firmly traditionalist when it comes to social issues, Owfism comes to be  progressive on that front, thus coming in support of  Distributist Progressivism.

[[File:Regulationism.png]] Taxation [[File:Regulationism.png]]
(Disclaimer: Revenue calculations from these taxes will be based on the United States, however, Owfed is not American.)

The first tax Owfism supports implementing and is at the heart of Owf's taxation policy is a land value tax. This land value will be based on a progressive structure, which means that the least valuable land gets taxed less while the most gets taxed more.

This is because land prices contribute a massive amount to housing prices, and lowering them is an essential step to lowering housing prices overall. The land value tax would also replace the property tax while not harming middle class and lower class homeowners.

The rates at which this tax will be charged, based on land value, will be as follows:


 * <10,000 $ : 10%
 * 10,000$-100,000$ : 25%
 * 100,000$ - 500,000$ : 50%
 * 500,000$ - 1,000,000$ : 75%
 * 1,000,000$ - 5,000,000$ : 87.5%
 * 5,000,000$ - 10,000,000$ : 92.5%
 * 10,000,000$ - 20,000,000$ : 95%
 * >20,000,000$ : 97.5%

As said previously, the land value tax will be charged at a  progressive rate, as said, where there the land value is overall lower, the tax rate charged on that value of the land will be lower.

Keep in mind, unlike property tax, this does not apply to improvements to the land, only applying to the unimproved value of the land itself.

How much revenues would such tax generate? Well, it is said that total American land value numbers at 23 Trillion $. As such, a land value tax, as proposed by this plan, would result in revenues of 15.3 Trillion $ per year, at least initially.

Such revenues could be used in a wide variety of things, ranging from welfare,  healthcare to  infrastructure and  education. But also to tackle the climate crisis by investing in green energy for example.

A Land Value Tax could also be considered a pollution tax, as harming the environment would also be something taxed by the land value tax, thus incentivizing polluters that worsen the climate to not pollute as much.

This tax brings forth many advantages but there would be too many for them to list on this section, so I am just gonna move on to the next tax.

Another tax Owfism wants to implement is a vacancy tax, this is an annual tax rate that is levied on properties that are vacant at least 6 months of the year, encouraging property owners to make proper use of such property or to just give it to someone else who actually will use such property in a good way.

This tax will be paid in addition to a land value tax, The rate at which this tax will be charged overall would be at 1%, this tax would serve along with the  land value tax in replacing  property taxes.

This will prevent hoarding up of homes people may not use and thus leave empty homes, thus allowing for true widespread ownership of property.

However, it finds that taxing it on a flat rate may disproportionally affect lower class and middle class people, thus going against what this tax rate is supposed to do. Thus, it goes for a progressive structure based on quintiles, based on the income of the people who left said home vacant:


 * <14,248$: 0%
 * 14,249$ - 35,551 $: 0.125%
 * 35,552$ - 63,270$: 0.25%
 * 63,271$ - 105,700$: 0.50%
 * 105,701$ - 306,320$: 0.75%
 * >306,320$: 1.25%

This thus lowers the burden on lower class and middle class people alike, and thus lessens the harm of such problem, with the vacancy tax now being more  progressive.

This would take aim at housing prices, just like LVT, however, its effects would be minor, however those effects are still there and are thus to be used in fixing the  housing crisis.

This would actually earn quite a lot of revenue, approximately 170B $ a year, which would mean over the course of a decade such vacancy tax would raise 1.7 Trillion $ a year in revenue. (This is based on the number of vacant homes in the United States, which numbers at 16 Million)

Owfism also believes that another tax that is necessary is a Financial Transactions Tax, this tax, as said in the name, will be levied on financial transactions. The rate at which it would be levied would be at 0.1% (1 cent from 1 dollar/transaction).

The role of the following tax would be able to prevent financial and banking speculation, which it believes caused crises like the Great Depression (Wall Street Crash of 1929), the Great Recession and now the Crypto Crash.

This tax would serve as a great step in fighting against financial speculation, and should thus be implemented. A tax like the financial transactions tax would result in revenues of 77B $ a year, or 777B $ in revenue over a decade.

Now, let's talk about the elephant in the room, and that is the income tax, probably the most important tax in any country. Now, how would the income tax work under an Owfist political system? Well, people earning less than <85,000$ will be subject to a earned income tax credit, this such tax will allow them to spend more, and lift people out of poverty.

Owfism believes that the income tax, as said by Henry George is society's killer, however, he does not want to abolish it rather reform it to make it so that the poor are not burdened from it.

Here's how the income tax brackets are going to be organized (spoiler alert: they will be the same as American irl tax brackets) and the rates each bracket will have:


 * <9,875$ : -30% ([[File:Chilib.png]] EITC)
 * 9,876$-40,125$ : -15% ([[File:Chilib.png]] EITC)
 * 40,126$-85,525$ : -3% ([[File:Chilib.png]] EITC)
 * 85,526$ - 163,300$ : 6%
 * 163,301$ - 207,350$ : 18%
 * 207,350$ - 518,400$ : 27%
 * >518,401$ : 54%

Revenues generated from such tax would number at around 1 Trillion $, as such, generating a decent amount of revenue from the income of people, especially upper-middle class and upper class people.

Another tax Owfism wants to implement is a carbon tax at a rate of 60$ per ton of CO2 emitted, with it rising  progressively in order to meet the 1.5 degree limit of the  Paris Climate Agreement and to curb Greenhouse gas emissions.

The total amount of American emissions emitted in 2022 is around 5.2 Billion tons, as such, a carbon tax would raise 312B $ per year in revenues, or 3.1 Trillion $ over the course of a decade.

As a last resort, and keep in mind as a very last resort, Owfism seeks to implement carbon tariffs on countries who refuse to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, like  China. However, Owfism is firmly globalist and would only seek to implement such measures if all other options are completely exhausted.

Owfism also wants to abolish corporate taxes, believing that such taxes would harm small and medium size businesses, and Owfism, a  distributist, seeks to allow for the benefit and flourishment of small and medium businesses, now, a main topic of concern is what about  big business? Yea. those are to be trust busted.

Another tax critically important according to Owfism is the implementation of a inheritance tax, believing that it is a necessary measure as 45% of all wealth is generated through inheritances and the United States is going through the greatest wealth transfer in history.

Owfism believes that if massive amounts of  inheritance is transmitted from generation to generation without being taxed, a country that was previously a  democracy may fall into a  aristocracy.

With an inheritance tax set a rate of 40%, the government can earn revenues from inheritances and give it back to the people, who did not have the luck of being born under the family of a millionaire or billionaire and who got their said amount of money through work.

Such inheritance tax would earn in revenue around 400 Billion $ per year, as around 45% of wealth right now in the United States is generated through such inheritance and this would only target very wealthy households in America.

Another tax Owfism seeks to implement is a Value Added Tax, this tax would be implemented in order to disincentivize the consumption and purchasing of unhealthy products like cigarettes and alcohol but also stuff like plastics, which harm the  nature. As such, this would be an incremental tax, being higher and higher as the product is more unhealthier.

The way a product is judged to be very unhealthy, unhealthy, healthy or very healthy is through the Environmental Performance Index (EPI) and the Food Safety Index (FSI).

This tax, the Value Added Tax not only will ensure people will eat healthier and consume healthier and be more eco-friendly be incentivizing more eco-friendly and healthy products, but it is also very hard to dodge, thus making it an easy way to raise revenue overall.

It will be in brackets, levied on with rates as follows:


 * Very healthy - 0.00%
 * Healthy - 5.00%
 * Unhealthy - 10.00%
 * Very unhealthy - 15.00%

As said, this will incentivize humans to have a healthier diet and ease the transition towards a humanity which it consumes and uses healthy products and more eco-friendly products. This tax would raise 160B $ in revenue per year.

The final tax Owfism supports will be a graduate tax that will be levied on student grants. The rate at which this tax will be set would be at 8% each student grant given out by the government to lower class college students.

This tax would manage to raise 11 Billion $ a year, with the revenues from this tax going to subsidies for colleges and universities, thus no longer requiring stuff like tuition fees.

In total, all of these taxes combined would raise around 19.1T $ a year (at least in the first year of their implementation) and as such this can be useful in funding an expansive and universal welfare state and also tackle inequality.

[[File:Welf.png]] Assistance [[File:Welf.png]]
The first welfare program, or rather a tax credit program Owfism wants to implement is a earned income tax credit that goes to people earning less than 85,000$ in income.

The total amount of spending dedicated towards such credit would come out be 590B $ however this would fruit positive consequences, as it would result in many people being lifted out of poverty and thus boosting economic growth overall.

Owfism believes that such earned income tax credit would make the economy fairer for all, but not just fairer, but also less bureaucratic and messy.

A second program Owfism supports implementing is a universal basic income of 1,000$ per person and it will apply to people earning less than <207,000 $ in income per year and are over the age of 18.

The main reason such tax is to be implemented is to allow people to get by along with the economy in a post-work society, one which human work is no longer needed and it is thus replaced by  machines.

Such a program would cost only 1.6T $ per year, and can easily be payed for through economic growth and tax revenues from taxes like LVT or  VAT.

Another program Owfism wants to implement are student grants, these student grants will apply to people attending tertiary (or higher) education, also known as college.

The way such student grants are going to be paid for is through a graduate tax, which will be charged at 8% of the student grants that students are to be earning.

These student grants will apply to lower and lower-middle class students who seek to have a good college since they got good grades but cannot because of their economic status.

Another thing Owfism wants to do is abolish tuition fees believing them to be a burden on students and makes colleges and universities exclusionary to only rich sons of rich parents.

Owfism also wants to ban donations that try to boost SAT scores through fraudulent means, believing them to be a "skip the line" scheme which puts poor people who worked hard behind, thus going against Meritocracy.

Owfism is a firm believer in the need for social security, believing it to be an essential driver of old people being lifted out of poverty, Owfism believes that old people over the age of 64 should receive 2,000 $ a month through a pension in order to stay afloat and not fall to poverty.

With this, Owfism believes that the U.S Retirement age should be lowered from 67 to 64, believing 64 to be a reasonable age as to when a person should stop working and live out the final moments of their life and retire.

This social security pension would apply to lower class elderly people who are not as good as making ends meet as old rich people do, since well, the rich people already have the money, and the lower class people no longer work when they're old.

Owfism also supports implementation of Medicare for All, believing that there is no way a human right like healthcare should be under the control of  corporations who only seek profit above all.

Owfism believes that healthcare should be under the control of worker co-operatives who are there to heal and keep people healthy and not seek a profit. Through them, people, regardless of class and income, will be able to get good quality access to healthcare.

A program like Medicare for All would be ambitious but necessary in order to met the health demands and needs of the many, such a program would cost 3T $ a year, however, it can be paid through economic growth and taxation.

Owfism also wants to strengthen Medicaid programs and to allow it to operate in sectors such as dental and mental health care, believing those are to be equally important to the current things Medicaid operates.

Owfism believes that Medicare and Medicaid are important programs and they must be kept and made completely accessible to 100% of the country's population. We must not leave some people un-insured, everyone has a right to live healthy.

The system of Medicare and Medicaid would be through a single-payer system, such system is a system in which where one entity administers healthcare funding and payments. Through this system, Medicare for All can save a lot of money.

Disability benefits would also be given to people with medical conditions that will last 1 year or result in death who are thus unable to work. These benefits will make sure that such person stays afloat and doesn't fall into poverty.

Child allowance would also given to parents responsible for kids which are below the age of 16, another program in conjuction with this would be paid leave for both fathers and mothers which in total would be 105 working days. This is based on the Finland model.

The amount of child allowance given to parents depends on the number of kids they have under 16, with it being given out in amounts like this:


 * 1 child: 100$
 * 2 children: 125$
 * 3 children: 150$
 * 4 children: 175$
 * 5 children: 200$
 * >6 children: 250$

These allowance programs along with paid leave would allow the newly created family to live freely and be able to spend, thus boosting economic growth even further. Another program Owfism seeks to implement is unemployment insurance. Such program would apply to people who seek to work but are not able to work because they haven't been hired or an economic crisis resulted in them being laid off their job.

Keep in mind, this would only apply to people who used to work and have fallen into unemployment and not to people who are just general leeches and just personally refuse to work themselves despite not having any medical condition.

[[File:Keynes.png]] Fiscal Policy [[File:Keynes.png]]
Owfism, when it comes to fiscal policy, is firmly a Keynesian, believing that overall, a mixed-market economy is ideal for economic growth as it ensures there is enough economic competition while there are still some  intervention in case things go dark.

Generally, Owfism is for balanced budgets, balancing out revenues from taxes with spending in public assistance and other projects like  roads and bridges. It believes that deficit spending during good times increases inflation while surplus spending harms the people themselves. Which is why he supports balanced budgets.

However, when an economic crisis hits, the Central Bank will have an expansionary  fiscal policy, engaging in deficit spending in order to boost money supply and to thus stimulate the economy, bring back growth and boost employment.

Because, if the Central Bank increases money supply at a rate faster than the Private banks decrease their money supply then that would make the recession less severe and ensure economic recovery.

Owfism believes in regulation of the boom and bust cycle, with there being small money supply increases or even slightly decreasing money supply during good times and big but necessary  money supply increases during times of crisis.

With this time balanced period of money supply usage, inflation will typically hover at around 2-3%, a.k.a the typical Central Bank target rate.

However, when a bad scenario of deflation occurs, when prices and wages are thus to go down and especially during a deflationary spiral like in  Japan a massive amount of  quantitative easing (QE) would be conducted by the  central bank. This is to end the spiral of deflation and to bring in  inflation of target levels.

Another main purpose of quantitative easing (QE) would be get the economy out of what is called a liquidity trap, a situation where the rate of interest has fallen, liquidity preference becomes absolute, with people preferring to hold cash than holding debt.

With this, Owfism believes that QE is an essential solution to solving such a problem. However, Owfism also supports central banks injecting liquidity as it makes sure that the crisis does not turn into a depression, example being the 1987 recession, which is said to have been the next Great Depression.

[[File:Cooperative_Socialism.png]] Means of Production [[File:Cooperative_Socialism.png]]
Owfism is a firm believer that workers should own the means of production, thus rendering Owfism as a socialist ideology. To achieve such a goal, Owfism seeks to use worker co-operatives as a tool.

Why? Well, worker co-operatives can be effective and ensure a  reformist transition to  socialism, as the co-operatives will band together in co-operative societies and thus bargain for self-management, democracy and eventually ownership of production.

Owfism believes that the current capitalist mode of production prevents the  workers to be paid the value that they actually deserve, and leads them to be subject to wage slavery, wages which do not even make sure the worker is out of poverty.

The problem with work today is that it subjects humans to work like slaves but paid a wage that doesn't even help them get out of poverty, doing tasks that are better suited to perfect, feelingless machines.

As such, Owfism supports automatization of the workplace and the usage of machines instead of humans, with humans being eventually replaced by machines and finally liberating humans culturally, allowing them to pursue what they desire.

For people to stay afloat during a society which has abandoned  work entirely, a  universal basic income of 1,000$/month to people making less than <207,000 $ in income as the main solution, as it believes people earning over that amount are already rich and are the ones who were the  owner class.

This will help stop potential growths in inequality and poverty, things Owfism consider to be unnecessary evils that must be eradicated. Owfism believes that a earned income tax credit and  universal basic income are essential to finally bring forth an end to poverty, a seemingly herculean task which has never been done before.

[[File:Bankocracy.png]] Monetary Policy [[File:Bankocracy.png]]
When it comes to monetary policy Owfism believes that there should be a Central Bank independent from the  government itself. The Central Bank is the most important bank of the nation.

The responsibilities of the central bank are within monetary policy mostly, with the government could also have the ability to fiscally stimulate the economy, however, it also is responsible for some fiscal matters.

The responsibilities are in monetary policy is meddling with interest rates most importantly, as during economic crisis interest rates are to be lowered to a level of 0%, as it allows consumer demand to recover.

However, this would naturally increase inflation and lead to hyperinflation, thus, interest rates are to be raised to levels of 2-3% in good times post-crisis in order to combat the  inflation problem and bring it back to more sustainable levels.

Owfism believes, that while interest rates hikes can fix inflation, due to the current economy which has become monopolized, anti-trust laws and  temporary windfall profits taxes are to be levied on big corporations who engage in corporate price gouging that boost inflation.

Owfism is also a firm advocate for banking regulation, wanting to bring back regulations to the level of the Glass-Steagall Act, this will stop banking speculation and separate commercial and investment banking.

Owfism believes these regulations also prevent the creation of Ponzi schemes, with the Glass-Steagall Act level regulations also applying to the digital currency world, thus ending the crypto Ponzi scheme.

These regulations would not be enforced by the  government but rather  economic experts, believing them to be better regulators overall.

[[File:Trustbust.png]] Monopolies [[File:Trustbust.png]]
Owfism believes that corporate monopolies are an inherent evil as they discorage economic competition, and are a likely cause of inflation, as in  capitalism, if there are economic competitors, companies will have to lower prices in order to make them seem the more convincing company over their competitor.

However, once there is a corporate monopoly in an economic sector, there will not be price gouging that causes lowered prices to win up over one competitor, since well, there isn't a competitor. As such, the corporate price gouging will result in very low price decreases or even price increases since they know there isn't an alternative.

So, yea, we must TRUST BUST these monopolies. According to Owfism, there must be an economic constitution like in  Germany, which seeks to prevent the rise of big trusts in the first place. The law being that if a company has over 40% market share over its sector that it operates, then it is thus a monopoly and thus must be broken up.

He also has a number for how many companies the  trust must be broken based on its market share percentage it owns in that sector, if it is over 40% of the market share in that sector. The number of companies a big trust is to be broken up into based on the market share:


 * 40-50% Market Share - The trust is broken up into 10 companies.
 * 50-60% Market Share - The trust is broken up into 15 companies.
 * 60-70% Market Share - The trust is broken up into 20 companies.
 * 70-80% Market Share - The trust is broken up into 25 companies.
 * 80-90% Market Share - The trust is broken up into 30 companies.
 * >90% Market Share - The trust is broken up into 35 companies.

This is in accordance with the economic constitution, with the economic constitution also mentioning that the owner of the once  monopoly cannot own shares of stock within the new companies, believing that results in the previously rich owner to become even richer.

This is a big deal, as it finally allows true economic competition as envisioned by Adam Smith, the founder of  Capitalism himself. Also, companies like Google along with other tech companies and social media companies to name a few will be broken up, as they are, in accordance with the proposed constitution, eligible to be broken up as they exceed 40% market share. This applies to every company which exceeds that threshold.

When it comes to the philosophy about the future, I tend to be pretty in favor of longtermism, that being an ethical stance, with this, I come to support the idea of effective altruism, in order to reduce existential risks for humanity.

There is a vast potential for human life and flourishing, our potential future is vast, there are almost an unlimited amount of people basically waiting to be born based on this sole decision: We fix climate change,  or we don't.

Fixing climate change will thus determine whether we as a species get reach for the stars or not, fixing climate change is less costly than just leaving it to be and leaving the fossil fuels alone, not fixing it will cost trillions and trillions of dollars but there it will be a bigger cost: Natural extinction.

I thus envision a green society, a society which is aesthetically like solarpunk, a society that brings back the focuses of  egalitarianism while upholding  individual rights in order to create a society which finally succeeds in the visions of  human flourishing.

Technology itself will be powered entirely by renewable energy and/or fusion power, everything is de-carbonized using plants like cannabis or technologies like green hydrogen, electrification of heating and a transition away from automobiles and to public transportation.

This society will balance human needs and environmental needs, with Owfism thus having a philosophy of Bioequalism, believing that human needs and nature's needs are to be held with equal importance. The flourishment of both humans and nature is paramount.

Owfism also believes that technology will play a fundamental role in how we live our lives, supporting investment in technologies like laboratory grown meat, green hydrogen, nuclear fusion, carbon dioxide removal, green architecture and programmable thermostats.

With this Owfism comes to be considered as a eco-transhumanist,  believing that such technologies will play a fundamental role today or in the near future at helping us solve the ever important climate crisis.

I come to support governments around the world pumping massive investments into green technology in every sector of the economy, believing that de-carbonization will help us in the long-term, even if it may have costs in the short-term, it is a sacrifice I am willing to make.

As said in taxation, I support the implementation of a carbon tax at 60$ per ton of CO2 that will progressively increase over time, in order to encourage even the biggest polluters to cut back on their emissions and thus de-carbonize.

Owfism also supports programs of economic justice and aid towards poorer countries that had to deal with  european colonialism and  european imperialism who thus polluted their entire country and now are too poor to actually de-carbonize on their own.

It is thus the responsibility of the West  to apologize and repair the damages that they themselves have done on the global south in order to ensure the principles of  humanitarianism are respected and everyone in the world has a chance.

It also seeks to uphold indigenous rights, believing that they should have equal land rights and ownership of property as everyone else, also believing that they should be world citizens and have access to the same things we do, in a model of  meritocracy.

Owfism also believes that people who were to now be former fossil fuel workers to be trained in renewable energy jobs, believing them to be essential in the new energy job market that is to come.

Owfism is also in favor of tax credits for green technologies from all sectors, whether it would be biodegradable bags, renewable energies, green buildings, green hydrogen, electric heating etc. With Owfism believing that these tax credits will further incentivize the transition to green energy.

Owfism also wants to temporarily implement a sovereign wealth fund in order to have enough reserves in order to give back to the people in order to help weather off the losses they will have from carbon tax, carbon pricing and emissions trading schemes in the short-term. Keep in mind, this is merely in the short-term.

[[File:Transh.png]] 4th Industrial Revolution [[File:Transh.png]]
First, let's begin on what a 4th Industrial Revolution actually is. A 4th industrial revolution will seek to automatize work and bring forth a revolution when it comes to artificial intelligence, as such, human jobs will no longer be required. These are the main components of Owf's 4th industrial revolution:

- Green Growth

Green Growth is the first component of Owf's concept of a 4th industrial revolution. Green Growth seeks to envision a post-industrial society where fossil fuels have been completely abandoned in favor of renewable energy and in the electrification of the electricity grid and heating.

Through Green Growth, humanity shall live in solidarity with  nature. We must change the way our agriculture works, instead of the destructive farming of today, we have laboratory grown meat, and there shall be aqua farming, with technologies more advanced and sustainable than today along with vertical farming for crops.

The advantages of vertical farming is that it takes up less space of the land below and instead saves that space by going well, vertical, which means up. Aqua farming, if expanded and advanced, will serve to feed billions upon billions of people on Earth, our blue home.

We must also expand de-salinization technology across the world and make it more advanced, thus giving us access to a plethora of fresh water, a lot more than we have today.

We will harness the power of the wind, the sun and even the power of fusion, the most important power of them all in order to power up our households. This society that I envision is thus a Solarpunk society.

This society also envisions a socialist society, where workers own the means of production, to do this, as said many times before, we are going to be using  worker co-operatives.

We must escape the pessimism that has developed in part because of news about us failing to address climate change, rampant inequality and rising poverty, especially in the developing world since the mid 2010s.

And instead fight and pursue a society where the needs and rights of the people and  nature are both put at an equal level, and to fight for a  united world country, as one will be better at co-operation than the many countries we have today.

- Space Exploration

The second component of the 4th Industrial Revolution is space exploration, Owfism considers that humanity must become an inter-planetary and even inter-stellar society, as it will serve to extend the life of the human race much longer.

We must invest in technologies which advance space exploration and allow us to reach our closest star systems (like Alpha Centauri). Owfism believes that the reason we have not went to the moon after 1972 is because we have stopped investing in space exploration.

Owfism wants to dedicate 1.5% of global GDP to space exploration, as the current amount of 0.05% is not even sufficient to be interplanetary.

This will allow the more quicker invention of many new technologies which will allow us to eventually terraform Mars and even  Venus after Mars.

This galactic society would however still carry the main principles of a  solarpunk society of  solidarity and  equality.

Space Exploration is the main thing which will determine whether we will go extinct in the next 100 years or we stay alive for possibly billions of years. We are on a great filter, and we have to pass it through space exploration.

To truly become a great inter-stellar society, we have to abandon the nation state and pursue the international. Humanity must be one country, one entity, not almost 200 entities, as that hinders world co-operation.

Through world co-operation we have made strides, increasing it would only make things better. (Smallpox eradication comes to mind).

- Automation

The 3rd component of the 4th industrial revolution is automation. Owfism is a firm advocate of work-place automation, believing that work is just paid slavery, as modern work we know today can easily be done by a robot who is feelingless, perfect while a human is with feelings and imperfect.

So, why waste time with a human who naturally makes mistake when robots and machines can be used which can do the things you want perfectly? Work at this point has essentially become slavery as wages of today cannot even get you out of poverty and have stagnated since the 1970s.

The 4th industrial revolution will finally liberate humans from the chains of capitalist work and bring forth a  post-work society. But wait, how will humans have a base of consumer spending? What happens to the economy. There are two simple solutions.

The first is an earned income tax credit which applies to people earning less than 85,000$. It is essentially what the name says, a tax credit. Which means people earning less than that amount will be given income money by the government, thus helping them stay afloat. This will cost 590B $.

Another solution Owfism proposes is an universal basic income of 1,000$/month given to people earning less than 207,000$ and are over the age of 18. This is given to people who are in the working class, with people above that according to Owfism being mostly in the  owner class. As such, they do not get UBI. This will cost 1.6T $.

This will ensure that potentially massive growths in inequality and poverty, two equally negative things does not happen, and most people will manage to stay within the middle class as a result.

=Society=

[[File:SocialProgressive.png]] Progress and Liberty [[File:Liberty.png]]
Owfist social policy encompasses the ideas of progress and  liberty. This is the main idea behind the social policies of Owfism, believing those two principles to be of utmost importance. This is a comprehensive breakdown of Owfed's societal policy:

[[File:Gay.png]] Marriage [[File:Gay.png]]
Owfism is firmly in favour of equal marriage rights regardless of gender, believing that it is important to ensure that everyone has an individual right to get married in life.

He believes that the opposition to gay marriage is absurd, as it is based on a book made thousands of years ago and a book that could had even been modified later on to hate on  gay people. Jesus himself wanted all men and women to be equal and that included marriage.

However though, while he is fundamentally opposed to religious fundamentalists, with them going against equal marriage because "the bible said so!" I also oppose the opposite of them. The "social justice warriors", believing them to also be radical cultural extremists who believe conservatives should be killed or that homosexuals should have complete superiority over other people or that there should be  state atheism. P.s you are not a social justice warrior you're a guy who sits on twitter all day

So what is my position? My social position is the position of SJW-Lite. SJW-Lites support gay marriage and all, but they do not want state atheism, conservatives to be killed just because they're conservative and all of those things. SJW-Lite is a good middle ground that actually ensures equal rights and does not create a new form of supremacism.

[[File:GRights.png]] Guns [[File:GRights.png]]
Owfism is an advocate of gun rights, believing that under no pretext the people should not have the right to bear a gun. Why? guns act as protection, guns protect your individual liberty. Guns give you safety from criminals just in time before the police arrive.

"To conquer a nation you must first dis-arm its citizens." said Adolf Hitler. The role of guns is important in toppling  tyrannical regimes as an armed populace makes it easier for the people to fight against the keys of the tyrant.

However, I do believe there needs to be some minor regulations to prevent excessive and bad use of  guns. Such as uh... school shootings. As such, I support a minimum age to buy a gun to be set at 20, however, people in the military obviously can have guns at 18, when you can join the military.

Owfism also believes in waiting times, believing that a waiting time of either 1 or 2 months should be necessary as well, believing that it prevents impulsive violence or suicide, and is overall a healthy regulation, that does not infringe on gun rights.

[[File:Liberty.png]] Freedom of Speech [[File:Civlibert.png]]
Owfism is a strong advocate for freedom of speech. He believes that social media should not ban people just because they're right-wing conservatives, believing that the internet should be a free hub where people can express their opinions regardless if they're  right-wing or  left-wing.

The only way to convince right-wingers to stop being, well,   right-wingers is not through banning them but through convincing them with regular and civil debate. Criticism should be constructible criticism and not harsh criticism, which seeks to disrespect, but rather criticism which is calm, and just fundamentally address the flaws while still having no personal grudge against the person himself.

Owfism also wants to abolish the surveillance state, believing that it has over-stepped its purpose of just "stopping terrorists" or "arresting criminals" and instead has become a way for the  government to have information about every single person out there,

Owfism wants to make a new constitutional bill of rights which upholds the  right to privacy, the  right to free speech, the  right to bear arms, the  right to vote, the  right to political participation & petition, the  right to marriage and many other rights in order to create a society that truly upholds  freedom.

[[File:FreeSpeak.png]] Freedom of Information [[File:FreeSpeak.png]]
A main problem Owfism has with the current system of information is that it is against the consumer and for the profit of the  tech corporation, that is also a monopoly. Something which will be broken up under Owfism. (look at Monopolies section above)

He believes that social media and tech companies like Facebook,  Twitter and  Google should be broken up, as they have a stranglehold over social media and online news for example, he believes that they should be broken based on their market share, into 10 (minimum) and 35 (maximum) amount of companies.

This would allow true economic competition and a diversity in media options to choose from and not be left with less than 10 choices to use on what you should communicate on. He believes that the people should be able to able to repair their own electronics, through right to repair laws.

He also wants to fight for privacy rights, believing that tech companies should be forced to stop making a profit from tracking their own users and instead use privacy-respecting forms of advertisement if they want to profit from technology. He believes that the identity of the internet user must be kept Anonymous in most if not maybe all cases, in order to prevent the privacy of the user being broken.

He also believes that internet pirating should be made legal, I am in full support of it, however, I believe that a game or art creator should be compensated by the  government for the money he lost because of the fact someone didn't buy his game and instead pirated it. (That's only for small game creators though, for guys like EA, you get nothing!)

He also seeks to abolish patent laws, believing them to only be used to make a profit off of your invention and ignores the human life it can save with it, an example of an inventor doing the right thing is Jonas Salk, inventor of the polio vaccine. He also wants to dramatically reduce copyright laws from 75 years to 2-5 years, although there would still be few exceptions of 10-20 years copyright lasting time.

[[File:Pro-ChoiceRemade.png]] Abortion [[File:Pro-ChoiceRemade.png]]
Owfism on abortion is fully pro-choice, believing that it is the right of the woman to choose whether it should give birth or not. He is against the recent American supreme court ruling declaring abortion to be illegal, believing that it must be legal, and especially legal in cases of incest, rape and other instances when the woman's life is in danger, as those are the cause of most abortion.

[[File:Fem.png]] Pay Gaps [[File:MLK.png]]
Owfism believes that an end must come to the gender pay gap between men and women but also the  racial pay gap between black and whites, believing that there's no way a country's a meritocracy when your own gender or your own skin color determines whether you get paid a decent salary or not.

Owfism believes that this is disgraceful that people's pay is still judged by their skin color or gender and not based on the capability of their own job, believing that the more you work the more you progress, but sadly, this isn't true. But Owfism wants to make it true.

I am a Meritocrat, a convinced Meritocrat, to some it may be a fantasy, but to me it is my main goal.

[[File:Urbanism.png]] Property [[File:Urbanism.png]]
Owfism believes that the property sector must be nationalized in the short term and put under the control of  worker co-operatives in the medium and long term. Believing that housing is a human right and is not a simple investment, just like how healthcare/education are to be a human right.

Owfism believes that there must be a massive boom in housing construction, believing that solving the housing affordability crisis to be paramount. Owfism also believes that if there is enough affordable homes in the world then homelessness will basically go extinct.

Another main way Owfism seeks to tackle housing price affordability is through land value, more specifically the complete replacement property taxation, believing it to be not just a burden on consumers but also a massive failure. He wants the implementation of a Land value tax to replace it, a.k.a a tax on the unimproved value of land.

Owfism also believes that housing should be made greener overall, many things can be done to green houses, however, I support the  Solarpunk model of housing mostly (just search up solarpunk houses to understand).

[[File:Secular.png]] Religion [[File:Secular.png]]
Owfism is a non-practicing orthodox christian by birth, however, when it comes to the existence of god himself Owfism is an  atheist, rejecting the existence of a higher being, like God.

Owfism is a firm supporter of the separation of church and state and the idea of taxing churches like how other institutions get taxed, believing that it is weird that they have an exception.

He believes that religion should not play a role in the political system of a country, and should basically be kept to your own personal views, believing that there should be no official religion, with everyone being free to practice whatever they want.

[[File:Policism.png]] Criminal Justice [[File:Klep.png]]
Owfism believes that the current criminal justice system is in desperate need of reform as Owfism believes that the current system goes against individual liberties and hampers freedoms.

What is the solution? Simple. The first reform Owfism wants to implement is the nationalization of prisons, believing it to be unethical for prisons and thus prisoners to be used as a profit source for the  rich.

Owfism also wants to legalize all drugs, in order to put a complete end to the drug war, which has killed many people and has broken human rights, believing that drugs should shift from a security to a health issue, and we should treat it more like alcohol or tobacco.

Drug users are the largest source of prisoners for the prison industrial complex, and as such, legalizing all drugs would remove 45% of inmates in the  United States.

Owfism also wants to shift prison into a more humane place, choosing to follow the  Norway model, where prisons look like a typical clean house and not concrete walls and metal bars. "Life" sentences are also to be reduced to 15 years and the death penalty is to be abolished.

Now that's about prisons, now let's talk about the police, with Owfism believing that they need to be reformed as well, and, especially in America, they have become flawed as well, just like the prisons they run.

Owfism supports making victimless crimes not be crimes, believing that stuff like  pirating or  drug consumption should not be crimes among with other crimes, thus reducing the amount of people in jail cells.

Owfism also believes that whistleblowers should not be charged as criminals but rather as heroes of freedom for their efforts to make sure that secret information is open and accountable to the people, and should not be arrested.

As such, Owfism comes to condemn the decisions done by the US government when it comes to the Snowden leaks and Assange leaks, believing that neither of them should had been arrested and instead should had just been left alone, as champions of liberty.

Law enforcement, to be able to re-gain the trust it once had must be open and accountable to the people themselves, Owfism also wants law enforcement to be much more transparent with it's information and all, believing it to be an essential tool.

Owfism also rejects police departments investigating themselves as they would naturally just say that they didn't do that, instead they should be investigated by the community, as they would have a more, impartial and not self-favored approach to investigating the  police.

[[File:Acidcomf.png]] Drug Legalization [[File:Acidcomf.png]]
As said in the previous section, Owfism believes that drugs are a victimless crime  and thus wants to be legalized, believing that they are a health and not a security issue.

Why? Well the illegalization of drugs has essentially created a black market where drug lords have exploited and impoverished many people, broke human rights, and have also not even contributed to lowering drug consumption in the first place and have created an incarceration state.

It is also clear that the drug war was also used by the American Republican Party to arrest people it opposed, such as  hippies or  black people, which explains why today black people have higher incarceration rates than whites despite being less numerous.

As such, Owfism supports the liberalization of drug laws, believing that all drugs are to be legal and the way to deal with drug consumption would be either through regulation or health advice and not through bloodshed and security. So, what are the solutions?

First of all, Owfism wants to set a minimum age to consume soft drugs like marijuana at 18 while less healthy drugs are to have a minimum age of consumption set at 21.

Owfism also wants to tax drugs just like how alcohol and tobacco, as all are classified as unhealthy products through the Value Added Tax, which for very unhealthy products is set at 15%. This as said before would make them less likely to be consumed.

Another interesting aspect about this is that because we made cannabis illegal, we have essentially removed a climate solution that can target sectors which cannot be easily be de-carbonized, by legalizing it, we make it easier for them to be de-carbonized.

[[File:Edu.png]] Education [[File:MathTheo.png]]
First of all, Owfism wants to increase the years in which free public education is allowed from 12 to 16 years, making kindergarten and pre-kindergarten education to be completely universal for every person.

This will improve human intelligence overall and make it more likely for great thinkers to come out of the education system, believing that the education system is the societal framework which paves in for any kind of job, with it being the backbone of the economy.

As such, Owfism believes that it is paramount that education upholds the mental wellbeing of their own students, as students which are mentally well are more likely to be more intelligent overall, thus making them better people in the long run.

How will Owfism seek to make education less mentally challenging for their own students? There is a simple solution which I will mention it below:

First off, school should not begin at 8 AM, as that would only give 1 hour for students to prepare with anything really, as a student who sleeps from 10 PM to 7 AM, which is 8 hours, would have to, in the first hour of the day be very rushed thus being mentally all of over the place.

As such, Owfism belives that schools should begin at 10 AM, 3 hours after you wake up in order to give students breathing room to re-learn the topics they have to learn, to eat breakfast, to brush their teeth or to just relax before they have to finally go to school.

However, a main problem with this is that school busses would have to take in students from all different kinds of age groups in the busses, and the busses would not be able to fit in all the schools and as such, Owfism believes that it should vary, with school lasting 6 hours a day overall:


 * Pre-K: 9:30 AM - 15:30 PM
 * Kindergarten: 10:00 AM - 16:00 PM
 * Elementary: 10:30 AM - 16:30 PM
 * Middle: 11:00 AM - 17:00 PM
 * High: 11:30 AM - 17:30 PM
 * College: 12:00 AM - 18:00 PM

Now, the time spans at which these students would have to get out of school seem pretty late in the day, however, that is because of the fact that in the morning they would have more time to think and to relax overall.

The reason that the times at which school starts progressively gets later and later is because the more you age the more relaxation time you need and teenagers are more likely to benefit from those extra time.

In the middle of the day however, aka 3 hours from when the school day started, there will be a recess pause lasting 1 hour, with the time spans for such recess pause, with it serving the purpose of refreshing the minds of the students, being like this:


 * Pre-K: 12:30 AM - 13:30 PM
 * Kindergarten: 13:00 PM - 14:00 PM
 * Elementary: 13:30 PM - 14:30 PM
 * Middle: 14:00 PM - 15:00 PM
 * High: 14:30 PM - 15:30 PM
 * College: 15:00 PM - 16:00 PM

Owfism also wants to have free public college with there being no student debt, and students who want to attend a good college are helped by student grants, Owfism also wants to abolition tuition fees as well. Now, how would Owfism want to make sure universities are in pristine conditions? Well, Owfism supports implementing an 8% graduate tax which will rake in 11B $ a year and all revenues will go to subsidizing colleges and universities across the country.

Owfism also wants to increase investments in education (in the United States) from 149B $ to 250B $, wanting to direct 65% of that, like it is today towards federal student aid, which in this scenario would be 162B $, this would help lower income students get to the university they deserve and build a  meritocracy.

Owfism also wants free public school lunches for all students in schools, believing that during recess students should have a right to have good quality, free food at their dinner table regardless of income, this will also make rich students not have to get home-made food from their rich mother.

Another thing Owfism wants to create in schools is a financial education class that is taught after 5th grade and beyond, in order to allow the students to learn how to do things like pay taxes and simply put have a good life overall.

[[File:Ecocent.png]] Transportation [[File:Anticar.png]]
First of all, to begin this section about transportation, I would like to say: GET RID OF CARS. Seriously, they have no use, while you may think they do, the uses that they have can easily be filled up by more eco-friendly and more land efficient methods of transportation.

Now, what are the alternatives to cars? These things are very simple and in cities, they have already been implemented. Turn cities into areas where are there mixed zones, with what was previously concrete  roads become areas for public transit like trams, bike paths and pedestrian paths.

This will basically allow small businesses to thrive like how they have never thrived before, as it is proven that when a city is pedestrianized and not car-centric people tend to buy more from  small businesses, which in turn boosts the local economy overall, thus having a positive, not negative benefit.

So yea, on the aspect of city travel, cars are to be phased out and replaced with good alternatives like trams, metros, bicycles (both normal and electric) or just plain old walking, this will contribute to lower  carbon emissions and also lower noise pollution, thus making our modern cities more livable and more breathable.

Now, what are these new forms of transportation gonna be powered on? Well, I don't want them to be on fossil fuels, now, you may think I would support electric, and I do, for some bicycles, however for trams and metros I despise that and instead I prefer the usage of  green hydrogen, this technology does not have the production CO2 issues and hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe and on the Earth and can easily be separated.

On the aspect of decently long travel, like for example from one side of the country to the other, I support the implementation of high speed trains to replace concrete highways which basically take up massive amounts of space, meanwhile the tracks for the high speed trains will take up at most only half or a quarter of the space that  highways do today.

With the added space from removing these massive concrete highways, more houses can be built, thus allowing there to be more housing construction overall, which solves the housing crisis, as since the 2008 recession housing construction is at an all time low overall.

As said before, green hydrogen, that is made through the electric separation of H2O (separation of hydrogen and oxygen) will generate green hydrogen, a technology which will not produce significant amount of emissions, and will be used now in high speed trains, thus lowering their carbon footprint.

Now for travel from one country to the other, there will mostly be planes put to use, believing that planes that travel within the country are useless and should not be allowed in order to reduce global CO2 emissions, instead, high speed trains will play that role. However, as said, they will be from one country to the other, however, from a close country high speed trains will still be more frequently used, however for some more further trips planes will be.

=International Stage =

[[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:Cball-EU.png]] On EU [[File:Cball-EU.png]]
Owfism is a firm advocate for stronger European integration, supporting the idea of a European Federation.

Owfism believes that the benefits of a federalization would far outweigh the cons to such unions, and there are many examples where I could go on, but let's first begin with:

Immigration. Personally, I think the 2014 migrant crisis could had been handled much better had the European Union been under a federation, as its response to it would had been more united And there wouldn't have been far-right trolls (Orban) who further sabotaged EU immigration for his personal gains, thus resulting in a better policy.

While I may seem pretty Europhile, I reject the European Union's handling of the 2008 recession that involved forced austerity on poorer countries, instead believing that the  European Union should have adopted  keynesian economic stimulus policies as done by the  United States under the  Obama administration.

I believe that an integration of the European Union would do wonders and improve European power over the world and expand European influence, thus ending the duopoly of power that is between the US and  China.

I believe that there should be a European Army, with defense making up 2% of its GDP, similar to the NATO target, as it will allow the EU to stop relying on the United States to solving internal problems and thus allowing it to exercise itself as a world power in its own right.

On elections, I believe that the current system is to be reformed where people can vote on European parties (EPP, S&D, EGP etc.), and to also increase the power of the European parliament, and to make the role of  European Commission President be a symbolic role, like a president. As such, Owfism believes there is to be a European Prime Minister.

[[File:World_Federalism2.png]] A New World [[File:Cball-UN.png]]
Owfism is strongly in favor of reforming the United Nations into a much more  democratic and  popular institution that serves the interests of all  humans across the world and that it must be effective, believing that if it does not reform it is bound to end up like the League of Nations.

How does Owfism want to reform the United Nations? Well, first of all, votes by nations on U.N resolutions should be based on a majoritarian model, meaning that if 99 countries or more support a resolution then it shall be passed and it cannot be vetoed by 1 or 2 nations, believing that system to be entirely unfair.

Owfism believes that the United Nations should integrate  peacefully into an united  World Federation, the way the integration would be done would sort of be similar to  European integration into an  European Federation.

Owfism believes that the reason the United Nations seems so weak when it comes to international affairs is because of its very non-integrated model. Owfism believes that international integration should be done incrementally, through a series of international treaties that integrate the world economy and society.

This is similar to the phases of European integration, and it believes that the integration of the United Nations should mostly be similar to the way the European Union, believing that the end goal is to create a World federation, similar to proposals of a European federation.

The way these international treaties regarding United Nations integration will happen through nations, if nations, a majority of them, vote to increase UN integration, then it will happen.

He believes that the electoral system should be ranked-choiced voting, with there being elections to parliament, with members being elected by the  people by their own personal rankings and with there being a symbolic  president elected by the people. Parliament votes on a prime minister, who would have most of the power. This model would be similar to a semi-presidential system.

He also believes that there should be an Earth Supreme Court, with it being the main judicial-related force in a united World Federation under the ideology of  Owfism.

Now, the complete integration of all world countries into one country will have massive benefits. This will allow for a united response to climate change, to  healthcare problems and many other topics, there would be an incentive to eradicate world hunger or even poverty seeing it as that it happens in their own country and not in some random poor country.

With a united world, things that desperately need international attention like space exploration,  eradication of measles, polio and other diseases,  the protection of human rights and other issues will finally get the attention they need as the co-operation needed for it can be done.

However, this does not mean Owfism rejects the notion of patriotism, believing that a form of international patriotism should be created, where people don't hold patriotic beliefs towards a respective nation state, but rather towards the  world federation.

[[File:ModNatProg.png]] Patriotic Duty [[File:SocialistPatriot.png]]
While Owfism is a very internationalist ideology overall, supporting World Federalism, Owfism does not reject the notion of Patriotism, and believes that it can be re-built in order to fit the image of a  world federation.

Now what would be the principles and ideas that would make people have a patriotic sentiment towards the World Federation? Simple. These are the principles of:
 * [[File:Orglib.png]] socialist liberal democracy
 * [[File:Secular.png]] separation of church and state

A slogan, which is well, because of this section, a patriotic slogan, a slogan which will inspire the population, this is the slogan of Life,  Liberty and  Progression.

Now on the topic of language, Owfism wants to make English and  Spanish as the main official languages, with them being taught in the  curriculum, both 2 hours a week.

However, Owfism also wants a world language, that being Esperanto, to be pursued as an optional language when  students enter high school that can be taught at least 1 hour per week, seeing it as an easy language thus not needing longer hours of teaching.

=Other stuff=

[[File:Cball-Ukraine.png]] Ukraine and Russia [[File:Cball-Russia.png]]
First of all, I would like to say: Russia is a Ethnonationalist,  Irredentist country that is probably at this point  Fascist.

This war could had been easily prevented had the entirety of NATO accepted Ukraine in 2009, soon after Romania and Bulgaria. Owfism believes that NATO, EU and the UN should follow a model of voting on legislation based on how national parliaments do it, that being a majority of nations agreeing to something, that means it is accepted.

Ukraine is not the most perfect country and it is not the most democratic, however, it is the lesser of two evils in this situation, and the nation that is attacked by aggressive Russian imperialism.

You may think that I am for American imperialism, but nope, I am opposed to that. I do not want American, Russian or  Chinese hegemony but rather Global hegemony. I want a society not led by a nation, but a society led by humanity. A united world.

I personally believe that Ukraine should be given the weapons it needs so that the war is shorter than it otherwise would have and to finally bring back full-on grain shipments so that the brewing food crisis ends and inflation begins to go back down. Ukraine must be protected from the hands of Russian imperialism and should be helped in repairing its economy and to also integrate it into NATO and  EU.

[[File:Cball-Taiwan.png]] China [[File:Cball-China.png]]
Owfism is firmly pro-Taiwan when it comes to the matter of China. He is sympathetic to Left-Liberal Tridemism, however he rejects the  Irredentist view that Taiwan should take back  mainland China, instead believing Taiwan should be an  independent sovereign nation so that it can escape the shackles of the  People's Republic of China led by Xi Jinping, a leader who is even more fervent on getting Taiwan under mainland control.

As such, Owfism is a firm supporter of the Democratic Progressive Party of Taiwan, led by now current President of Taiwan Tsai Ing-wen, and is opposed to  Chinese attempts at getting Taiwan under it's own control and wants Taiwan to be given military aid, especially from the  United States,  Japan and  South Korea. This is to allow Taiwan to have a chance at blocking China in it's invasion.

[[File:Cball-HongKong-BlackBauhinia.png]] Hong Kong [[File:Cball-China.png]]
Personally, I believe that Hong Kong should be freed from the hands of the CCP and thus must be its own country with the ability to pursue  democracy and  human rights, in contrast to the CCP.

Although, I believe that Hong Kong, while it should be independent should stop being so laissez-faire and instead at least pursue a  social market economic framework, one which fights not just for economic freedom but also for the people themselves.

[[File:Cball-Tibet.png]] Tibet [[File:Cball-China.png]]
I personally believe that Tibet should be independent from China, however, their  monarchy should be abolished in favor of a  democratic republic.

[[File:Cball-Xinjiang.png]] Xinjiang [[File:Cball-Xinjiang.png]]
I do not support Xinjiang independence because of the potential threat of Islamic fundamentalism in the region, however though, an international condemnation should be done in regards to  the Uyghur Genocide.

Believing that this genocide naturally goes against human rights and should thus be condemned internationally, with there being more sanctions placed on the  CCP, and if that doesn't work, there may have to be more  revolutionary tactics employed in China.

=Philosophy= RE-WRITING ALL OF THIS!!!

[[File:Scientocracy_Small.png]]Conformal Cyclic Cosmology[[File:Scientocracy_Small.png]]
What is the origin of the universe? What cosmological model can thus deduce how our own universe works and will work for many years to come, we have not discovered how our universe works and how it will work in the future. Our universe still holds many things we do not know.

Through this metaphysical framework, that is known as Conformal Cyclic Cosmology, we can deduce the true origin and cycle that our universe (and other universes) are going and have thus went through in their entire history.

Now, what does the idea of Conformal Cyclic Cosmology (CCC) entail of itself? Well, we have a look at what it's main proponent, Roger Penrose, entails on what his idea is.

Thus, Conformal Cyclic Cosmology (CCC) can best be summed up as a cosmological model that is in the framework of the theory of general relativity. It believes that the universe has infinite cycles of iteration with the future being timelike infinity of each previous iteration thus to be identified with the Big Bang singularity of the next, which can be summed up through a Penrose diagram.

Now, what is the basic construction of the idea of Conformal Cyclic Cosmology? As said by Roger Penrose, the basic construction can be summarized through the connection of a countable sequence of open FLRW metric spacetimes, with each one of them thus representing a Big Bang and the infinite future expansion that follows.

Penrose noticed that the past conformal boundary of a FLRW spacetime can be attached to the future conformal boundary of another FLRW spacetime, through an appropriate conformal rescaling. Through his calculations, we can find a new solution to Einstein's equations, which, pointed out by Penrose, is to represent the whole universe, that is thus composed of aeons.

This metaphysical idea also requires the idea of eventual period of proton and electron decay to actually be considered officially scientific, and electron decay has no conventional speculations to thus confirm this idea.

Now, this is a cosmological model that seeks to build out how the Universe, the one which we live in works, however, we still have not answered the following questions of: Is our universe the only universe? Are there other universes?

[[File:Hawking.png]] Multiverse Theory[[File:Hawking.png]]
Now, we shall attempt to answer the questions of "How many universes are there?" "Are we the only universe?" and finally the question of "Are there other universes?". Now, many different answers have been proposed, with some beliefs stating that our universe is infinite and is thus the only universe in the cosmos, with others saying that our universe is just the size it is and is the only one to others saying that there is some types of alternate universes.

However, this is a section which focuses on answering those 3 questions in an alternative framework and belief to the frameworks presented above, and not just tell what are answers. Now, how do we find the answer to the 3 questions mentioned above, what is the metaphysical theory which answers that?

The main metaphysical framework that is to respond to those 3 questions is the multiverse theory, the multiverse theory seeks to claim that there are 2 or more universes out there and that as such our universe is not the only one that is out in the cosmos.

Now, let's answer the first question using this idea, that idea being the multiverse theory. Now, how many universes are there? Well, through the multiverse theory, I am to conclude that there are infinite universes, thus the size of all universes combined itself is infinity.

These universes will follow their own laws of physics in most aspects, however, they do not follow 10 or 100, but rather infinitely different physical laws, thus, we cannot even comprehend what some universes may have.

Now, this seems contradictory to conformal cyclic cosmology, which affirms that the universe iterates itself through infinite cycles with there being a future timelike infinity of each previous iteration, how can there be a connection between these two different frameworks?

Well, these different universes may have different laws of physics, and all of them are to have, however, the main essential frameworks of conformal cyclic cosmology are still be to applicable to the other universes, that would mean our universe would just expand to infinity and suffer to heat death if it was alone and still had CCC applied to it.

[[File:Existentialism.png]] Existence and the Meaning of Life [[File:ExistPhenom.png]]
However, there are still some metaphysical questions that are still left unanswered, those are the questions of what is the meaning of our life, are you inherently constructed or rather "programmed" to have life have a meaning to a certain individual?

Now, there are many attempts at answering this question, as this is an important philosophical question that has been asked for quite the time in human history, with many takes ranging from the fact that there is actually a meaning to just there being no meaning at all.

Now, there is no inherent meaning to life, as life isn't a thing in it of itself, but rather is defined as a condition, one which thus separates animals and other living things from "dead matter".

In conclusion, this thus means that life just simply cannot have meaning, as it is merely a condition and not a thing with meaning, like a human. As such, it is blatantly wrong to say there is a meaning.

It is thus also wrong to say that there was a programmed meaning to life given to us by some sort of authority, whether it would be governmental or another form of authority figure.

With this, the meaning of life is basically a human construct, one which is made by the individual living that life, and it thus just sums up what he did across that life, which means that a meaning to your life is essentially, created by the individual, by living that life, whether it would be partying or studying or whatever.

This makes Owf an existentialist, as it is the existentialist philosophy that believes in the idea that life, specifically, the meaning to that life is created by the human, without it being programmed by a higher being or authority, with that meaning being created by living and doing things in that life.

However, this section also makes mention about existence itself, now what is existence, how did we become an existing being?

[[File:Absurd.png]] The Absurd [[File:Absurd_ears.png]]
Now, what is existence? Existence is the fact that we are here, in this reality and that we are living in this life. However, that isn't the main question here, the main question here is why do we exist? Why are here in this reality?

Well, the answer to that, is that we, well, do not know. The odds of us being born are staggering, scientifically, it is around 1 in 400 million. There is just no way we can know how we, ourselves, instead of some other guy won the race.

With this, we can conclude that our existence is absurd, as it was unlikely and it is also unknown as to how we were able to win the race for existence, and not let's say another sperm. But, what should we do with this realization? We are ought to accept it.

So, with this, we can conclude that the meaning we give to life, which is merely the personal construct that we give it to give sense to the Absurd, are only transient and merely personal, with this, it will be nullified by the inevitable coming of death itself.

Now, a natural resort some may have with the realization that our existence is completely absurd is to look towards actions like suicide, however, I reject this notion. As said by Camus: "There is one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide." Through this, we can conclude that there is a larger Absurdity in not facing the Absurd life through this method.

Owfism also believes that cheating death will only result in punishment, in staying eternally (or for longer) in the Absurd, the absurd being life itself. Let's take the example of Sisyphus, by cheating death, he was not only subject to living in the Absurd, but only had suffering under the Absurd.

[[File:Athdem.png]] Seminar of Thought [[File:Socrates.png]]
=Aesthetics=

1. Solarpunk

Owfism subscribes to Solarpunk aesthetics, with these types of aesthetics being used on planets, more specifically, habitable planets in the Goldilocks zone of their own Solar System. With architecture including lots of greenery and emits little if not no CO2 as things are basically electrified, powered on the power of the sun or other renewable powers.

2. Atompunk

This type of aesthetics is used on housing in international space stations, with cities being designed and powered based on the idea of fusion power (In the long-term) or just modern fission power in the short and medium term. These energy sources have little to no CO2 and as such everything will be eco-friendly too.

3. Lunarpunk

This type of aesthetics is used on housing placed on the moon, houses will also be powered by the Sun and other sources of  renewable energy. Houses on the moon will follow the idea of Lunarpunk and fit in with the aesthetic of the Lunar surface.

Yes these are all based according to me.

Friends
Yoda8soup Thought (//) - Surprisingly, we are actually pretty similar, on economics, we both support market socialism and georgism. De-central computer planning is an interesting concept, socially, we are pretty much the same, however, you should be more libertarian. Civically, we are the same, except for defensive democracy, I don't like that. Although, you should be more internationalist. TLDR: Pretty similar, with some minor differences. (//) - Not bad! Especially on economics and a bit on social policy, we are actually in agreement, however you need to be more progressive and more internationalist, otherwise, not bad, as said before. Mattism (//) - Not a bad ideology, we are pretty similar, the only difference we have is that you're too protectionist for me and are also in favor of defensive democracy, you are also more economically moderate but other than that, you are a good ideology.

Celfloskyism (//) - Pretty nice ideology, and it clearly seems you want not just equality but also freedom for the Chinese people, although I don't really like the ideas of Irredentism, your cycle democracy is not really something I like. You support virtue ethics and existentialism, although I am not that utilitarian, only supporting Harm Principle. Otherwise, pretty good!

Frenemies
Post-Councilism (//) - I hate vanguard centralism, and I am just generally not really into Communism in general, nor do I agree with Zizek, although you're quite literate in political/philosophical theory, which I admire. I wish to have said more but sadly I am not that literate in the beliefs you have so...

HelloThere314ism (//) - Your beliefs are not really beliefs that I tend to agree with, and also, on some parts, your page is unfinished so I don't really know how to rate you, but it is clear you know theory, so that's nice.

Ultroneism (//) - You are the most literate user on here on basically anything, now that's something, however, my opinions on your ideolo- I mean philosophy. In rest, my ideology disagrees with your ideologies on many things or I am just too illiterate on some things to give a proper opinion.

BasedManism (//) - I am just gonna beyond the ideas of based and cringe and just put you in frenemies tier definitely not because of the fact I am too lazy to read your page right now although I don't know, your page doesn't seem to mention ethics for example, only seems like it mentions metaphysics and logic. So, I can't completely judge your philosophical beliefs, so yea, you go here. Also come on at least I have some influence from Kant in epistemology

Enemies
=Figures=

S
Mikhail Gorbachev - You are the best Soviet leader ever, you tried to not just fix your stagnating economic situation caused by low oil prices and the war in Afghanistan (the soviet  Vietnam) but also increase political freedoms. Hot take, but you are probably the most socialist Soviet leader out there, even if you were the most pro-market since Lenin himself. I hate how hardliners, who helped orchestrate the fall of the USSR themselves even under your rule put the blame on you for doing it. R.I.P

Oscar Wilde - Your form of individualism is generally pretty influential to my sociology and good job on proving that socialism is not inherently collectivist, like how some other ideologies try to put it. You balance the best aspects of Socialism and Individualism, and for that, I am proud.

Elizabeth II - I know, I am a republican and do not support the system of monarchism, but there is no denying that Elizabeth II was a brilliant Queen, who set the idea of what constitutional monarchy actually is meant to be. Things are just different without the Queen. Yes, you tend to be apolitical, but that doesn't put you away from S tier. R.I.P

Marcus Aurelius - The stoic virtues are pretty good virtues that people are ought to have, also pretty based on the fact that you managed to dedicate to philosophy while still being Emperor. You also resembled stability during Rome, which is good, especially since the Antonine Plague brought so many deaths.

Stephen Hawking - The multiverse theory is a pretty good theory about the universe although it's pretty dumb how you said philosophy was dead when that is literally a philosophical belief and thus the existence of other universes, and yes, we need to go to space otherwise we may become extinct because of climate change, disease or overcrowding.

B
Joe Biden - B for Biden! Jokes aside, at first, it really seemed like a C tier President who barely got anything done and could barely form comprehensive sentences but now you are rolling man, Take down those MAGA Republicans! Save democracy! Still, you ain't getting more than B tier.

Rene Descartes - Your epistemology is so based, you figured out that we really cannot trust our senses and that we must thus use reason to know whether things are true or false. Outside of that, not too good, your politics are terrible, your ethics are good but very undeveloped, mind-body dualism is terrible, so yea, you're in B tier, although quite close to C tier.

Immanuel Kant - Yes, that is indeed how we understand the world, through intuition, reason and understanding. Without them, we are nothing. Reason is the most important. However, your racism is bad and also your metaphysics and ethics are not really ideas I agree with.

C
Barack Obama - I don't know, it seems like your presidency could had been better, but this is based on your actions not words, so... First off, It's nice how you rescued the American economy and set in regulations (albeit too few) against Wall Street through the Dodd-Frank Act, I hate how you handled the Snowden leaks and also you kept the PATRIOT Act... You also bailed out big banks which I don't like. The Cuban thaw was also a pretty good idea. Your withdrawal from Iraq was nice and your administration saw the death of Bin Laden, although, you should had left  Gaddafi alone. ACA could had been better though, well, it was better than nothing.

D
Nikita Khrushchev - It's nice how you tried sort of liberalizing the USSR after the death of him and all but that's mostly where your accomplishments stop, as under your administration you re-instituted  State Atheism, crack-downed on  worker co-operatives and toppled  Imre Nagy. D tier is your tier.

F
Klaus Schwab - I really wish you die, although, it is funny how people think the Great Reset is just some new corporate shit that seeks to oppress us, yes, it is very much oppressive, but the thing is this is just combining California and  Hong Kong and then sprinkling it some  eco-capitalism and bugs. Still, this doesn't make your Great Reset shit better. I hope the WEF and the Great Reset die along with you.

Leonid Brezhnev - First off, your intervention in the Prague Uprising and your declaration of war against  Afghanistan not only are pure examples of  soviet imperialism but the Afghanistan war literally ended up being a failure and literally caused economic stagnation, the collapse of the USSR itself and the rise of jihad terrorism because of US funding to fight Soviet forces. You know you belong in F tier.

Joseph Stalin - You are not a socialist but simply put just a totalitarian, who put literally anyone who opposed him to jail, you are also a pure, self-declared machiavellian, in a bad way. I could go on but finally... The only good thing you ever did was beat Hitler, although it is to be noted it wouldn't have been done with Western support and vice versa.

George W. Bush - I would just like to say, fuck you. The PATRIOT Act, absolutely fucking terrible. Standardized testing, absolutely fucking terrible. Afghanistan War: Eh, probably a right idea to take revenge on those who caused 9/11 but the US just overstayed 10 years and also the whole nation building crap was stupid. Iraq War: An absolute fucking mess. And to top of it all off, the Great Recession. You truly are a scum. You took away American freedoms and privacy and also wasted money on silly wars and tax cuts on the rich which ballooned the national debt.
