Citizenism

UPDATE: This page…is a dumpster fire. Admittedly, when I created this page two years ago, I knew very little, if anything, about geopolitics and philosophy besides bare-bones surface-level reading. When I came back to the wiki after taking a hiatus, I set out to rewrite this page from the bottom-up, but I realize now that I did not have the time or the dedication required to undertake such a task. Now that I have become more well-versed and have changed/refined upon a lot of my personal beliefs, I have decided to discontinue this page. You can still comment and add me if ya like, but bare in mind that this is no longer my ideology. I might make a new self-insert, but it’s going to be a while before that happens and I want to make sure it isn’t just a skeleton of a page. Citizenism is modeled after the views of ResponsibleCitizen. Both culturally and economically right-wing, it seeks to combine libertarian economics with traditional Judeo-Christian values. The only regulations present would be the bare minimum (common sense [I will elaborate as I expand page]) as to allow a truly competitive market. ResponsibleCitizen aims for free trade, but it wants an end to the imperialism of neoliberals and neoconservatives, striving for the immediate cessation of any foreign meddling and wars. He also wants a relatively small army, believing that the U.S. Army is too large, expensive, and such a huge fighting force is unnecessary. In terms of culture, he is against the excessive promotion of LGBTQ+ ideology and wants an end to immoral degeneracy that he views has plagued the nation (it is important to note that ResponsibleCitizen does not want discrimination or harm against LGBTQ+ people, and it would be legal for gay people to get married and have children. I am simply against the excessive promotion and obsession over this kind of behavior). = Beliefs =

[[File:Cap.png]] Capitalism or Socialism? [[File:Soc.png]]
W.I.P. TL;DR: Communism has never worked and never will work. Both socialism and communism have objectively led to the deaths of millions of innocent people. Every attempt to establish a communist society has resulted in either collapse or a brutal, totalitarian dictatorship. This is beyond dispute. Socialism in Practice While it’s all well and good to look at ideologies in a vacuum, the biggest argument against socialism is undoubtedly how it’s been implemented in practice. To put it quite bluntly, there has NOT been a single socialist society that has lasted for more than five years that has not ended up establishing an authoritarian, or, in many cases even totalitarian, dictatorship accompanied by mass killings and famine. This is simply the truth. Stalin’s Russia, Mao’s China, whatever the fuck is going on in North Korea, were all totalitarian hellholes that, ironically, only sought to enrich an upper class of the political elite while quashing any dissent, whether actual or perceived, against their rule. Socialist economic policies have directly led to mass famine in these countries, with notable examples such as the Holodomor and the Great Leap Forward, and a more recent example with the mass starvation happening right now in “democratic socialist” Venezuela (yes, Venezuela is socialist even if it doesn’t fit your utopian vision of socialism). Even the relatively “better” socialist examples, such as Tito’s Yugoslavia and Sankara’s Burkina Faso were still authoritarian dictatorships that frequently sought to destroy any “dissent” they could find. It’s no wonder why the majority of Eastern European countries experienced a dramatic rise in life expectancy as soon as they embraced the free market - because Soviet-enforced communism stifled innovation and couldn’t manage to feed its own people.

[[File:Libertarian.png]] Private Healthcare > Free Healthcare [[File:Libertarian.png]]
W.I.P. Citizenism believes that the free market is the most efficient way to handle healthcare. He believes that much of the grievances with private healthcare (such as absurdly expensive medical bills) actually result from unneeded government intervention and regulation, and that a free market would remove barriers to competition and thus prices would naturally lower as the profit motive would drive companies to lower prices (as with any other service) and make the most profit. Citizenism believes that “free” (read: government-provided from the money of the taxpayers) healthcare puts unnecessary burden on the taxpayer and also leads to significantly longer wait times and lower quality healthcare.

[[File:Conservative.png]] Traditionalism and Judeo-Christian Values [[File:Trad.png]]
Citizenism seeks to preserve the Judeo-Christian moral and legal principles that the United States has been founded on. It believes that the traditional nuclear family, traditional gender roles, and Christian morality is not only preferable to the degeneracy that progressives seek to replace it with, but also form the bedrock of modern Western civilization itself and should be preserved at all costs.

[[File:Les.png]] [[File:Gay.png]] The LGBT (and the rest of the letters) Question [[File:Bix.png]] [[File:Trans.png]]
For the first three letters, in summary, I don’t care. I’ll respect your right to get married, to adopt children, to exist, etc. Just stop letting drag queens indoctrinate children and demanding that society treat you like royalty.

[[File:GRights.png]] Gun Rights SECOND AMENDMENT BABY WOOO [[File:GRights.png]]
W.I.P. Luv guns. Luv the Second Amendment. Luv open carry. Luv muh rights not being infringed. Simple as.

The Electoral College
The Electoral College (and the two-party duopoloy that it inherently maintains) is pretty terrible, to say the least. W.I.P.

[[File:Isolationist.png]] American Interventionism and Its Consequences [[File:Isolationist.png]]
W.I.P., but to put it simply, I’d rather have America lose its status as a world superpower than be sent to fight on the frontlines or be vaporized by an atomic blast.

[[File:Zio.png]] Israel or Palestine? [[File:Cball-Palestine.png]]
I support the existence of Israel. After millenia of being falsely slandered, persecuted, discriminated against, deported, and exterminated en masse, the Jewish people deserved to return to their ancestral homeland and establish a state where, for the first time since ancient history, they have been able to live in relative peace. Palestinians also willingly elect literal terrorists like Hamas who kill innocent civilians and openly want to exterminate all Jewish people. However, I recognize that Israel is obviously not perfect, and has also committed horrible crimes (though not nearly to the same degree), such as in the West Bank. Therefore, an ideal solution would be to create a two-state solution with boundaries similar to the 1967 borders. However, it is also important to note that Palestinians, especially Hamas, have repeatedly been shown to be unwilling to compromise with Israel, and have since rejected every single offer for independence. Therefore, any peace deal must have Palestinians recognize the sovereignty of Israel and actually work to establish peace.

= User Test (W.I.P.) (redoing this)= Scoring System: If you fully agree with the statement, you get 1 point. If you mostly/partially agree with the statement, you get half a point. If you disagree with the statement, you get absolutely nothing. Economics:   I believe that a free market economy allows the best and most hardworking/resourceful to thrive.  I believe that socialism is bound to fail each time it is implemented. Economic theory cannot be empirically proven.  Bureaucracy/government regulation leads to monopolization, not free markets. The free market is the best way to deal with issues such as climate change. Freedom of employment is guaranteed under a free market.  Civics:  Representative democracy is the best form of government.</li> The head of state should be democratically elected. Ranked-choice voting is great and is much preferable to FPTP.</li> </ol> BONUS! (For my fellow Americans):  The Electoral College should eventually be done away with.</li> </ol> Social:  I support same-sex marriage.</li> I am critical of gender ideology/wokeism.</li> Climate change is real.</li> Affirmative action is unnecessary.</li> Systemic racism is not real, or the extent of it is at the very least exaggerated by the left.</li> Differences in (average) intelligence between races can mostly be explained by nurture (access to education, poverty, etc.) rather than by nature (genetics).</li> I support near-absolute freedom of speech (with the exception of death threats and calls to violence).</li> I am against cancel culture.</li> I support marijuana legalization.</li> It is important to preserve our culture/traditions.</li> </ol> Foreign Policy:  <li>I am non-interventionist.</li> <li>I think that the complete dismantlement of nuclear weapons is an optimal end goal that nations should be working towards.</li> <li>U.S. involvement in Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Afghanistan have only made things worse for the local populace and turned out to be ultimately for nothing other than for the benefit of the MIC.</li> </ol> BONUS!

[[File:Kinda No.png]] Mostly Negative

 * [[File:Brazlib.png]] Brazilian Liberalism - Bisexual "Christian" liberal. Not much more to say really.

[[File:No.png]] Quite Awful

 * [[File:BourgeoisieDestroyer.png]] Bourgeoisie destroyerism - I’ll start off with some pros, because why the fuck not. You’re pro-tradition and seek to bring back the dominant role of God and religion into Western society, which is all well and good. You’re also democratic, but, given that you’re a literal white supremacist and Nazi, I highly doubt that your “utopian” (because, let’s be honest, such a society as you desire would be a hellhole, no offense) society would be anything but oppressive and brutish. Now, onto the negatives. You’re a white supremacist, which is terrible, obviously. I should probably make a section about my thoughts on race, but I’ll just summarize them here. Now, don’t get me wrong, there are absolutely physical differences between races, and, if you completely neglect critical thinking skills, it does seem like there are IQ differences between the various races. However, this can mostly be explained by a wide variety of intricate factors, such as, say, colonialism, lack of opportunity/education in regions such as most of Africa, corrupt and authoritarian governance which stifle innovation and hinder opportunity and economic growth, etc. To blame such differences purely based on the color of one’s skin is, to put it bluntly, utterly retarded. I could go into more detail, but there’s a lot more to cover. I don’t necessarily think that technological progress is always for the best, especially with the rise of shit like ChatGPT that could very well open pandora’s box in regards to how such impressive technology could be used for very nefarious purposes, but, seriously, what is the appeal in anarcho-primitivism? Like, genuinely, how is dying at the age of 28 from the worst diseases imaginable in any way, shape, or form something you wish to bring about? Life before the Industrial Revolution, and the Agricultural Revolution for that matter, was usually nasty, brutish, and short. Why would one willingly want a system that would drastically decrease their quality of life marxists.jpg ? Also, you support a gift economy and are post-left, which really is just lol. All in all, cringe/10, only reason you’re not on the tier below is that you want to RETVRN to tradition and oppose sodomy, so props to that I guess.
 * [[File:GanzismIcon2.png]] Ganzism - My critiques of you will be quite similar to the guy above, except you’re slightly better as you’re not a white supremacist (I think, at least?). You’re a fellow tradition enjoyer and I somewhat agree with your critique of the state, although we would probably disagree on both extent and reasoning in terms of the specifics. A state that’s given any more authority than needed for society to function will ultimately always deprive the populace of their freedom and violate the rights of the individual, of course, but a society without a state (and industry, for that matter) would just devolve into chaos and life would become a brief, nasty, and dull existence, as was the case for the majority of human history (or technically pre-history, but whatever). Ethnonationalism (and ethnopluralism) is more legitimate than racial nationalism/supremacism, but still a concept I disagree with. Of course, cultures (key word here being cultures) that have fundamentally different values and that hate each other often end up violently clashing with each other if they are forced together against the will of the native population (see, literally all of western Europe during the refugee crisis) or when one culture group tries to enforce itself as the dominant culture/ethnicity in a highly heterogenous area (see, literally all of Africa and Yugoslavia). However, that doesn’t mean that a multiethnic or even multicultural society is necessarily a bad thing. One can also be of a different ethnicity and still be raised in and share the traditional culture. Ethnopluralism and the concept of creating an ethnically homogenous society (which necessarily implies violent action taken against the ethnically “undesirable”) not only seems unnecessarily authoritarian and opposed to human dignity and rights, but it also arguably leads to the problem of deciding exactly how ethnically “pure” one must be in order to be eligible for living in an ethnostate. Anyways, other than that, some of the views expressed in the relationships section of your ideology are interesting, to say the least (in particular, I am curious as to how Philippe Pétain of all people is considered, by you, a “hero”). Overall, cringe but I’d unironically prefer this over many of the anarchist self-inserts on here.
 * [[File:Tsumugikotobuki8814ism.png]] MugiKotobuki8814ism - Literal Argentine furry Peronist Nazi (???) who wants to eradicate black people and deport Jews, has absolutely terrible economics, and wants to establish a totalitarian dictatorship. Not to mention that some of the shit on this page is just down-right vile and disturbing. At least you’re a fellow God and tradition enjoyer.
 * [[File:Bakbax1.png]] Baixian Federalism - You’re a nationalist, “pro-tradition” (yet pro-sodomy, abortion, and in favor of the idea of being able to freely choose your gender, none of which are compatible with traditionalism unless you’re a Native American I suppose), an environmentalist (though I can certainly assume we have completely different ideas on how to solve climate change), and federalism is great but that’s about it. You’re an authoritarian Strasserite who wants government control over the economy and is in favor of the moral rot that plagues much of the modern world. Seriously, at this point what traditions are you preserving? The fact that you claim to be “culturally far-right” and a reactionary is just downright hilarious. All in all, the things we have in common are massively overshadowed by our irreconcilable differences, as if that wasn’t obvious enough.

 * [[File:GanzismIcon2.png]] Ganzism - Done! Now I want to clarify some points, you say Socialism leads to authoritarianism, yet the EZLN is literally a stateless and socialist commune, they are a society based upon mutual aid and the property is shared in common. This is not too different from what rural Western Europe used to be in the past. You claim without the state there is chaos, but this is not true, since without the state, the people are free to be self-reliant and decide what's best for them. You say Ethnonationalism is authoritarian, but it is not, wanting to be with your own is normal, every ethnicity has the right to have an ethnically homogeneous community. Also, about Pétain, he was a war hero and cared about his nation and its traditions. For that, he deserves my respect. You also think a primitive life would be terrible, but primitive people are healthier than the current humans, we live in a literal sedentarian society with a grain-based diet. Those primitive people were more resistant to diseases than we are, they had better genes that allowed them to adapt to the environment's necessities.
