Aurelianism

Aurelianism, is a nationalist, culturally neutral, economically laissez-faire ideology.

All men are equal under law, or so we pretend, in modern systems no man is equal to another, in western nations, almost always a rich man gets precedence over a poorer one, inequality under law exist based on your sex, looks, connections and even things beyond your control like culture and public sentiment. Inequality is something found everywhere in nature so some such activities found in governemnt are naturally moral, women recieve precedence over men when it comes to child custody & domestic voilence, which is good but also unfair. Even so the government has no ability to reason and therefore can't understand morality, it is only man that can decide what is moral and what is not, under this premise the Aurelian government is a limited one, run only by the best of the best and exists only to protect the nation, provide security and punish injustice.

Citizenship?
What makes a citizen? This is a question rooted in the idea of civic responsibility, the notion that citizens of a nation should contribute to its prosperity and stability. An individual can live in a country and be declared a citizen, but does that mean they are truly a citizen of that nation? In some countries it is required that one holds values and traits associated with the nation to be considered a citizen, in most nations one needs to simply be born in the borders of the country or be the offspring of a citizen to be a citizen. (See Jus Soli and Jus sanguinis for more)

In other systems, citizenship would be marked by the ability to participate in civic life. Voting in elections, military service and occupying public offices are just a few of the requirements to be an official citizen.

But in an Aurelian state that isn't exactly the case, my definition of citizenship is simply someone who has lived in the nation for 15 years. Now naturally that also means that no child is born a citizen but only become citizens at the age of 15.

To be a citizen means having certain rights, but also the one simple responsibility to pay taxes, nothing else is mandatory but taxes within the Aurelian state.

Citizens First
All men are simply not equal, a sense of priority must exist, so a citizen gets priority over a non-citizen, priority in court & priority in police response and security. The citizen has many rights and protections over the non-citizen, but the most important one, that of property, i shall outline below.


 * The Right to Private Property is a fundamental principle in many societies and legal systems around the world. It allows individuals to own and control property, which can include personal possessions, land, buildings, and other assets. It is one that should be guaranteed to the citizen by the Constitution, but limited only to the citizen. Restricting the right to private property to citizens is an essential component of citizenship itself, by restricting private property to citizens, it is a way of reinforcing the idea that citizenship is a privilege that comes with certain obligations. Limiting property to citizens is also based on concerns about national security and sovereignty. In many countries, private property is seen as a critical aspect of national security, as it allows individuals and businesses to control resources and assets that may be strategically important to the nation.  While in most nations today, public organizations such as corporations, syndicates, and multi-owned businesses also hold property, there are several reasons why the right to private property should be limited to individuals and not extended to these types of organizations. Firstly, individuals have a more personal relationship with their property than organizations do. When an individual owns property, they are more likely to have a direct connection with it and care for it in a way that reflects their own values and priorities. In contrast, organizations are typically managed by multiple people who may have different priorities and values, and may not have the same level of attachment to the property. Secondly, organizations can accumulate large amounts of property and wealth, which can lead to concentration of power and influence. When this occurs, the rights and interests of individuals may be overshadowed by those of the organization. This can lead to exploitation and abuses of power, as well as a lack of accountability for the organization's actions. Thirdly, individuals have a greater level of autonomy and control over their own lives than organizations do. When an individual owns property, they have the ability to make decisions about how it is used and what happens to it. This allows them to exercise their own judgment and make choices that align with their values and interests. In contrast, organizations are typically subject to a wide range of organizational bureaucratic constraints, and may be required to act in ways that do not align with the logical expectation of a business, as by the senseless short-term profiteering made to appease shareholders at the expense of the consumer, worker politics coming at the expense of the workers that syndicates are meant to protect, and lastly the well known and hated diversity quotas, which are only there political virtue signaling and nothing logically expected of a business.  Overall, while public organizations have a questionable but productive role to play in society, it is important to limit their rights to private property in order to ensure that individual rights and interests are protected. By doing so, we can help to promote a more just and equal society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
