Darknight Yuusha Model

Darknight Yuusha Model is a ideology that is economically left-wing, culturally variable, Civically Moderate, specifically center-statist, and nationalistic ideology, belonging to =Ideals= = Economics =

Mode of production
My type would be that of socialism, market socialism in particular, combined with elements of social corporatism and social distributism, where within the workplaces of cooperatives and enterprises, there will be a partnership in which the workers will have primary control over in the means of production, being given the ability to hold democratic decisions within the workplace, to have their rights enforced, and to reduce power of owners that dare harm them out of genuine exploitation, with that said, the owners will still have a small, yet crucial niche, within the workplace, and that they will serve as watchmen within the democratic workplace to help in negotiations as to ensure satisfaction between the workers and owners and to prevent corruption that can seriously disorganized the workplace if left unchecked, in addition to prevent shady dealings and abuse, thus, they will be at least be given a rather small, yet notable level of control, as for the state's role, in smaller and medium enterprises, the state would only serve a rather minimal role akin to a watchman, doing some small scale supervision to ensure minimalization of exploitation, but on large enterprises, the state will play a more significant role and will play a part in the publicization of said large enterprises as large enterprises in general aren't trustworthy when privatized due to the tendency of significant presence of monopolization and exploitation done by large private businesses

As for class issues, whilst such a mode of production does indeed show that I am an advocate for class collaboration, as of the current situation, it's nearly impossible to be useful as a means considering how many elites have a grip of power in this world, and that the current status quo is geared towards their greed, thus, for the current moment, I support class struggle so that once the exploitative elites have been purged and only the fair, contributive, and legitimate within the upper classes remain, class collaboration can truly be in it's ideal state.

An economy under the common good
My economic system has pro-market stances, being against the idea of a primarily centrally planned economy where sluggishness and stagnation is present due to the over-reliability towards the government in dealing with goods, but is also against the idea of a neoliberal/laissez-faire capitalist system, and because the systems of neoliberalism and laissez-faire capitalism are festered with inhumane, exploitative, and elitist practices within their systems, there should be a market system under regulations and a strong safety net so that not only shall they ensure minimalization exploitation, protecting workers and consumers alike, but also the vitality of the competitive spirit(although cooperation should also be encouraged instead of the Darwinian methodology of survival of the fittest or similar principles) as the market is a vital factor in driving innovation.

For the prices of products, there will be several diverse factors that shall prove detrimental to acceptable pricing, such as quality and category, but generally, products may be sold within the acceptable price range, but local planning will still be done to a degree, even if the local governments have a low degree of control(particularly on small enterprises), they remain crucial in managing regional economic affairs, helping regions make economic decisions of their own, nonetheless, nationwide laws and regulations should still be followed to ensure crackdown and prevention of economic exploitation and injustice within regions.

To answer why decentralized planning is preferred over centralized planning, as some might define planning's role as done under the whole of society, as centralized planning puts the basis of planning under bureaucrats, the problem is revealed as the nature of central planning would be similar to that of the frequently oligarchical tendencies of capitalism but instead of plutocrats, it would be bureaucrats having the control, furthermore, decentral planning has superior damage control compared to central planning, as under a central command economy, should one region suffer economic deficiency, then a catastrophic domino effect would occur and the entire economy would fall into chaos, decentral planning however doesn't suffer this domino effect.

Anti-trust laws shall be also put into effect in order to crack down on monopolies in order to ensure fairness within the market and prevent lesser enterprises from being trampled, the same notion shall be implemented into guilds, as one guild should not become too powerful and that greater guilds shan't trample over lesser ones.

Property matters
A mix of private and public property shall be within an economic system like this, acknowledging the benefits and the necessities of both playing a role in society, some things like small and medium enterprises shall be private, others like large enterprises, energy, and essential services shall be public, and to things like housing, education, and healthcare, there would be a mix between both although with the latter two leaning more towards publicization.

as much as the existence of private property is acknowledged, it must be widespread in order to prevent it from falling into the hands of the greedy and powerful elites, a similar reason can be said for the aforementioned examples on why those are collective property, and that is to prevent the elites from having a grip in the economy and direct it to serve their never-ending greed in which that shall hinder society, the people's livelihood, and development for the common good of the nation and community as a whole.

Enterprises, Guilds, and Unions
As mentioned before, there shall be a mix of a private sector comprised of small and medium enterprises, and a collective sector of large enterprises and essential services, and with these organizations, there shall be a democratic guild system, jointly owned by the workers and owners, each formed and organized to their own category of Profession, Industry, and position in which they are most fit, harkening back to the medieval guild system

As for Unions themselves, they will be promoted alongside cooperatives due to the genuinely glamorous benefits they can bring on the table, as for one, they are useful to help workers fight for their rights, especially considering the current economic situation as in many parts of the world, workers suffer exploitation day in and day out, two, the general emphasis of their role as blood cells of the nation, further emphasized and encouraged through hard work strengthened through organized labor, which can be helpful in potentially increasing production, as workers will be incentivized to work with their needs satisfied, although even with the generally glamorous benefits, there are still some drawbacks, mainly that a union can potentially fall under corruption, and that there might be a bit of potential unemployment increased, however, those drawbacks can be mitigated through the owner's role as a watchman for the former and the addition of labor market policies (eg: vocational training, job search assistance, public works programs) for the latter

And to answer the question of union busting, it shall be recognized as unconstitutional and even illegal under most cases, especially when workers strike out of genuine oppression committed against them, as well as striking out of dissatisfaction, speaking of such cases, the state will openly support the strike for the former case, and for the latter case, there shall be negotiations held instead to ensure a compromise, the only time it would be ever legal is when an individual union is committing acts done out of greed, corruption, or exploitation, but even then, only the individuals responsible for such would be punished, whilst the other workers innocent within said union would remain unharmed.

Cooperative Endorsement
Cooperatives are to be endorsed and promoted greatly as their use to increase the presence of workplace democracy, strengthen the rights of workers, and bring in a basis of promoting an economy under the common good, and because of the aforementioned value cooperatives bring, in a similar fashion seen in Vietnam, Cooperatives will be brought in many benefits traditional businesses do not, and such benefits will be given so long as anything exploitative/shady isn't done.

Healthcare and education
As for healthcare, as mentioned before, there shall be a mix of private and public healthcare, covered by the state they shall be, nevertheless, private healthcare facilities shall be subject to regulation(eg: following anti-abortion laws, medicines shall be sold at a set price), and those shall be part of guilds, organized at the local level

The same case can be said for education, there shall be a mix of private and public schools, and that private schools shall be subject to set regulations and rules for the education system, those private schools shall be integrated into guilds as well

Welfare and social programs
There shall be a wide variety of social programs such as infrastructure and rural development, scientific advancement, housing, education, environmental protection, those shall be supported for the sake of improving the socioeconomic conditions and livelihood of the people, especially towards those struggling in an economic fashion, taxpayer money would also be directed towards such all, with the same reason on why they are directed towards those programs.

as for the welfare state, there shall be a strong welfare state alongside a social safety net to provide for the people, however, one must put effort and labor in order to receive and retain welfare benefits, as Lenin once said, he who does not work shall not eat, as laziness is undesirable in a society and so is one leeching of those very benefits whilst not contributing to the nation, additionally, as it's purpose is to help those struggling, welfare shall be mainly directed towards the lower classes and the disabled, with welfare directed to corporations and upper class citizens being discouraged significantly or abolished entirely.

even with the significant presence of a strong welfare state, private charities won't be discouraged as a method for helping the poor, they would be encouraged instead but they must follow regulations in order to ensure their legitimacy, and if such charities turn out to be scams, they will be dismantled

Banks and credit unions
I advocate the need of a central bank, on the regional level however, banks are to become democratically-held mutual savings banks/credit unions as to prevent monopolization of credit and further reduce economic exploitation, said democratic mutual savings banks and credit unions also turn out to outperform capitalist banks, as they are safer during recessions and that consumers have greater confidence in democratic banks than in capitalist ones

Fiscal policy
Whilst reckless spending may be a bad thing for the economy, what's also bad is having the economy being prioritized over the people, as such, I would support government spending, and on crises, deficit spending will be made, as for taxation, I would generally have a progressive tax system, with the rich having to pay greater taxes than the poor, as so the money gained from such taxation will increase and will be directed to social programs, which in turn would benefit society.

The minimum wage
A baseline 15$ minimum wage shall be implemented in economic law as so that workers can cover the costs they will have to pay, although there shall be adjustments due to differing sectors, situations, or inflation.

Trade and tariffs
I consider calling myself as a mutual protectionist, usually leaning towards protectionism for my economic nationalism and believing the use of trade to help nations gain resources they're unable to produce by themselves and not much beyond that, wanting a fair trade policy where I wish to strike a balance between free trade and protectionism, as I not only understand how cross-national trade can benefit the nation and help the economy flourish if dealt with correctly, but also acknowledge the importance of economic sovereignty and self-reliance and that foreign economic dominance is an act of subjugation and therefore sinful, I also acknowledge how both free trade and autarky are flawed to their cores, as the respective problems I just mentioned are prevalent in such trading systems, the former lacking the necessary protection against economic imperialism done by major powers which allows exploitative practices to happen and forcefully indebt the nation, and the latter for it's fanatical isolation and economic stagnation due to the lack of cross-national economic dialogue, both of these problems mentioned would serve to harm and degrade the socioeconomic conditions and livelihood of the people.

The Energy Question
As the economy shall be based on the common good, and shall provide for the common good, so too shall energy, in which it shall be publicized and distributed in a more widespread manner to ease the accessibility, in addition to that, the resulting non-green economic energy sectors shall begin a transition to adopt environment-friendly policies and measures, such as the implementation of a carbon tax, the incentivization of worker-cooperatives within workplaces in economic energy sectors, and more especially the general transformation of fossil-fuel factories into more environmental-friendly industries and workplaces, mainly under nuclear

Economic Regionalism
As each region has differing situations and differing material conditions, there shall be slight adjustments(leftward or rightward depending on the situation) to the economic system so that it shall achieve the goals of economic justice, prosperity, equity, and fairness in said country, rightward examples of such are Poland and Singapore, where the former had disdain towards it's communist past and the latter being an island country lacking the resources in it's home to produce for itself, leftward examples of such are most of the third world, where such is to a home of great economic prosperity and equity only stopped in it's tracks by the economic injustice committed by the ruling elites of the third world and the imperialist elites of major powers.

Dynamics of The state and the people
There should be a delicate balance of power between the people and the state as to ensure that the people have the power to retain their liberties when society is under peacetime, and that the state is able to safeguard the people and fight against criminals and/or terrorists that dare threaten society in addition to protecting the nation from imperialists and foreign invaders in addition to that, exposing and fighting corruption(eg: whistleblowing) will be a necessity in order to keep the delicate balance in check, such delicate balance of power will also be a key in playing a part in a concept of a dual-failsafe between both the state and the people, in which should either of the two entities fail(the state/people) suffer inefficiency within a situation, the other will be given the ability to deal with the problem the struggling entity is dealing with, for example, if the police force is unable to protect the citizens from criminals, then the citizens themselves will be able to protect themselves thanks to gun rights, another example will be if the people are struggling to fight off terrorists, then the state in addition to the military's strength will counter them, to answer where I am in the civic spectrum, I'm civically moderate, particularly statist in summary.

The question of Vanguardism
Vanguardism, to my eyes, is high-risk and high-reward, as a strong guiding hand, if utilized correctly, can bring the nation to prosperity and quell threats that dare slow or even halt the progress of development entirely, however, the guiding vanguard can also become a threat in of itself if it ever falls into corruption and ends up being a self-serving elite class, and because of that, it's only usable in a niche under situations where a country is faced with threats such as instability, division, terrorism, imperialism, and etc, and due to how I wish for a government under the rule of the common good, the vanguard party will ultimately step down from power once the country has reached significant development and is on a good enough shape that a democracy can thrive.

Democratic Function
As the government's very duty is to serve the people it governs, then the best way to fulfill this role is through a democratic republic, under which the people are given the rights to choose their leaders, enact their policies, and decide laws, however, such things can only be true when the democratic republic is primarily oriented towards popular sovereignty of the people, as the ideals of representative/liberal democracy are nothing but decadent elitist mockery of true democratic mandate, as true democracy is achieved through sovereignty of citizens, there shall be direct rule through democratically elected councils, in which those democratic councils will resemble and function similarly to the popular congresses and people's committees proposed by Gaddafi, from levels as small as a district, to the highest possible level, the national level, although on the national level, there will be at least some degree of partisanship alongside a president as a head of state, so such a democracy would resemble that of a semi-direct democracy leaning towards direct rule, on every other level however, partisanship will cease.

On the issue of voting, ranked voting would be the systematic method of processing votes, since unlike first past the post, which is a failed system that greatly limits the freedom of decision to a situation akin to where there is no other choices between yes and no, ranked voting allows the voter to make decisions under much greater freedom, virtually eliminating the dictatorial and oligarchical political polarization apparent under FTPF

Federalization
Federalism would be considered as the ideal system in the central-decentral government spectrum as it allows regions to represent their people and culture better within the nation through stronger separate regional laws within each regional government, however, despite the call for federalization, the need of social cohesion is a must in society as to prevent chaos and disunity amongst the country, thus it is a necessity for regional governments to be subject to follow national laws and the constitution

on the occasions where a country is small and homogenous however, a unitarian government is more effective, as it doesn't really make sense to decentralize a country that is rather uncertain to suffer the potential hindrances of a unitarian governmental system due to it's small area and homogenic composition.

Law and the police force
As the very threat of crime can result in criminals causing havoc within society, in which the lives of people can be ruined as a result of this, the police force is a necessity to ensure the protection of lives and the enforcement of law, to ensure this, there shall a competent and potent police force in addition to funding said police force as to ensure that the cops are to be as efficient in dealing with crimes

despite such support, I am also opposed to police brutality and corruption, and because of this, there shall be regulations to ensure that the police won't be corrupted by an overflow of power and that they will not commit acts of abuse against the people they serve to protect, in addition, whilst I support funding for the police, I don't want said spending to go overboard, and that such spending is not meant to transform the police into a tyrannical and corrupt bureaucratic organization, but rather to ensure that the police are to fulfill the role of serving and protecting the people through efficient and benevolent methodological management of power

Penalties for crimes
Generally, I would use a mix of rehabilitative and punitive justice when punishing criminals, as there would be at least some form of rehabilitation when punishing crimes whether minor or major, and it's generally more prevalent on minor crimes, though as crimes get more severe, punitive means would be more often used, and as for the death penalty, it will be instated, but this will only be reserved under the condition of the criminal being guilty of a heinous crime beyond any shadow of doubt

as for fining, whilst I do understand that punishments shouldn't be too harsh, fining is also prone to corruption as it could result in the criminal refusing to stop committing crimes and buying one's way out of justice, because of this, fining will only be used once on the very first time a crime is committed, after this, if repeated for a 2nd time and onwards, community service would be used instead as punishment

News and Media
With the ever growing dangers of polarized media, regardless if private or under the state, resulting in bias, slander, and misinformation, further bolstered by manufactured consent, bringing in a harmful generation of conformist illiteracy, it is a must that the fairness doctrine should be implemented in order to prevent this, as under the power of the fairness doctrine, opposing viewpoints will be represented equally and fairly when serious/controversial matters are discussed in media, which will serve to curb the performative activism omnipresent in the current times.

To reform or to revolt
Whether to reform or to revolt is chosen depending on which of those means is most efficient in attaining ideological goals, generally, in more peaceful times, where society hasn't reached a point of extreme decay, where meaningful change can still be attained peacefully, reform is usually better, on the conditions where a country is unstable, under dictatorial rule, or whether meaningful change is just too slow or nigh impossible through reform, then the option to revolt is a more preferable choice, however, as with both, I would rather avoid bloodshed as much as possible towards innocent civilians, and would only do so if there isn't any other choice

with the ever strengthening grip of elite classes however, which have allowed them to divide the people through slander and lies, and that they turn reforms meant to change for the better, become mere concessions and meaningless victories that keep or even strengthen the elites' position, it's clear that I've been slowly losing my faith on reform, and that bloodless revolution has started becoming a seemingly more viable option over reform

= Culturally/Socially =

Overall
I indeed have a synthesis between conservative and progressive ideals shown below(WIP), and from what you've seen I am seemingly culturally right, but the thing is, I'm truly considered as culturally variable, as the terms "progressive" and "conservative" are broad and ultimately arbitrary in meaning and context within my eyes, and that the situations and material conditions of each separate country should be also taken to account for such, for example, in the case of the west, I am culturally right, as the west has progressed enough in culture to potentially achieve a prosperous state of being, but many progressives in the west want to rid such potential by ridding the beneficial traditions kept and replacing them with inclusive idpol and decadent cultural liberalism, so it's a necessity to conserve the beneficial traditions and cultural values that help western society flourish, on the flip side, in the case of many third world countries, I'm culturally left, seeing how many backward customs such as gender inequality, racial divide, caste systems, rule of the clergy, and literal slavery still exist within them, it doesn't make sense to be a conservative in that issue as third world societies currently are infested with such detrimental customs that it's a necessity that those societies must significantly progress to a point where only the beneficial traditions remain and the detrimental customs phased out and abolished(ofc without the inclusive idpol and cultural liberal materialism bullshit) = Foreign = =Personality= Usually of calm and cool character, generally tolerant towards and cool towards several differing ideologies, to pink ideologies however, he holds strong disdain for almost all of them with the exception of a few like LGBT conservatism and Transmedicalism, he also has his fair share of disdain towards ideologies like imperialism, anarchism, totalitarianism, the cultural extremes, most liberals, and elitists, despite such disdain however, he maintains his honor and respect towards others so long as they too remain respectful to him, and because of his regard with the value of dignity, the ones he has disdain for the most are hedonists because of their profound lack of remorse towards their wrongs and a value of selfishness, having very little to no respect towards many of them.
