Philosophicism

Philosophicism is an anarchist ideology based on the thoughts of PhilosophicHedgehog. It's based on a strongly pessimistic view about how the world is heading, and that civilization collapse is nearer now than ever.

Views on Property
Philosophicism views on property are quite intricate.

It distinguishes two types of property, productive and non-productive.

Non-productive property is also called personal property. This includes your house or toothbrush.

On the other hand, there are four types of productive property:
 * Private property (one owner)
 * Collective property (multiple owners, worker ownership)
 * Common property (every member of the community is an owner)
 * Public property (state ownership)

Philosophicism advocates for collective property, as it's the only one that isn't an abstraction. Private, common, and public properties are all properties defined through claims, and as such, they're abstract and thus invalid; instead, the only type of property that should exist is collective property, as it's defined through work/use.

With this consideration in mind, we can further classify property into real and imaginary (or intangible) property. Real property can be classified as such if you can prove it materialistically, if it isn't based on abstractions. Imaginary property is all that property that can't be proved materialistically, that is based on abstractions.

Property through use is real property as it can be proven materialistically. On the other hand, property through claims can only be proven abstractly, which means using abstract concepts. Private property can only exist thanks to property laws, which are abstractions enforced through violence by the state, and they would cease to exist with its abolition. For the same reason, public property is not real property. public property is comparable to private property: some small differences are that the owner is not a person but an entity (the state), and property laws are made and enforced by the owner itself. Common ownership can only be voluntary if there's full consensus or at least a lack of opposition. If there isn't full consensus or if there is opposition (which would probably be the case), people will have to enforce this type of ownership, either through laws decided by the majority (tyranny of the majority, aka democracy) or with similar stuff.

Now, in addition to being imaginary types of property, private and public property are not desirable for the following reasons: the first involves wage labor, and the latter involves empowering the state and forming a monopoly on the entire economy.

Abandoned property is a perfect example of the absurdity of property through claims and the laws which protect it. Officially, it's owned by someone, but in reality, it's not owned by anyone. Abandoned property should be free to use by any individual.

In today's world, with enough money, you can own anything. People's ownership (slavery) is officially banned, but in practice, there are more slaves today than ever before. You can also own parts of the Earth (land ownership). Capitalist ideologies like Georgism have found a "solution" to it: the LVT, or Land Value Tax. Georgists want to replace all the taxes we have today with a single, land tax. How does it work? Every plot of land is subject to taxation at a fixed rate; the more land you own, the higher tax you have to pay. It's a good solution to avoid taxing income, which in the end harms the poor, but only under a capitalist system. If we apply the classifications made before to anarchy/socialism, land ownership should be abolished altogether. Not everything needs to be owned by someone.

Last but not least, intellectual property and copyright are nonsense. You can't own an idea. Like SEK3 said, "it is a creature of the State, the Vampire’s little bat. And, as far as I’m concerned, the word should be copywrong."

Frenemies

 * [[File:ormarxf.png]] - On one hand, some of your libertarian followers are tolerable (autonomism is based), but on the other hand, you're dogmatic and the transitory state will never wither away. Also, the peasants are as important as the workers, if not more.

 * [[File:Anprim.png]] - Yes, civilization is bad, but going back is not the answer, and technology is not inherently bad.
