[[File:Dem.png]] Civics [[File:Dem.png]]
Owfism's ideal form of government is a republican one. Combining elements of liberal democracy (elections) with  direct democracy (referendums/citizen initiatives). He is in favor of a multi-party system that has political parties from both the left, right and center. There are also some elements of meritocracy, with cabinet members having to be experts in the ministry they're chosen. The idea of coalitions/oppositions are also abolished, instead all political parties work together towards a better future.

[[File:Soccap.png]] Social Market Economy [[File:Soccap.png]]
When it comes to the economy of the European Union, I advocate for a  social market economy, believing in strict anti-monopoly laws in order to encourage economic competition and also small business tax credits. This is similar to what the ordo-liberals advocated for in Germany, also supporting an economic constitution.

Owfism supports the state subsidizing the  private markets to allow for technological advancement and make sure they reach their full potential. As such, the state should nudge markets through subsidies and tax credits so that we can have technological advancement in a time that desperately requires it.

Owfism also supports regulations like a minimum wage, as it increases productivity overall while also equalizing bargaining between the workers and the shareholders. In some instances however, Owfism supports economic liberalization by allowing for high levels of foreign investment and of foreign talent through economic incentives and through opening up of immigration.

[[File:PlannedCap.png]] Public-Private Partnerships [[File:PlannedCap.png]]
I believe that public-private partnerships (P3S) will become a necessary thing in the future, especially in fields such as infrastructure, energy, construction and banking. By integrating private companies into state projects (and vice versa) we can make sure that projects which the state is failing to do will still be complete thanks to private co-operation and investment, while projects which the private sector is failing to do will be helped by the state through subsidies. These public-private partnerships (P3S) will be fundamental in the social-market economy that I propose.

[[File:Paternalism.png]] Welfare State [[File:Paternalism.png]]
I believe that the welfare state needs to be reformed, opposing wealth redistribution just to "eat the rich" and to help the people who don't want to help themselves, it punishes the successful in society so that the unsuccessful can just survive (even if they refuse to get out of welfare and become more of themselves). Not only is there a lower class that burdens not just a country or two but the world, but it also means that the government budget is always overheated to provide for people who, even when provided for with the basic things to succeed, won't want to succeed. Instead, I support a paternalistic welfare state which emphasizes personal responsibility and to climb up the  social ladder through hard work. Programs I support include:


 * [[File:Chilib.png]] Negative Income Tax (NIT) as proposed by Milton Friedman to replace most welfare programs (especially wasteful ones). This NIT shall encourage work and it will sort of be similar to expanding the already-existing American earned income tax credit (EITC), being the most effective anti-poverty program for [[File:Synd.png]] workers.
 * [[File:Social-ism.png]] Workfare: Requiring the able and mentally able unemployed to search for jobs in order to keep welfare benefits (including accepting part-time work), this will allow for lower unemployment and the fixing of the problem of welfare leeches.
 * [[File:Cball-Switzerland.png]] Swiss Model of Healthcare: Universal healthcare based on a model of compulsory private healthcare insurance with however high levels of flexibility along with a public healthcare option.
 * [[File:Edu.png]] Make tertiary education tuition-free so people can acquire useful skills in the digital, automated age.
 * [[File:Schoolicon.png]] School vouchers to enable low-income children to attend better schools, especially charter schools.
 * [[File:Right-Distributism.png]] Tax incentives in order to allow for profit sharing and employee stock ownership plans to happen within [[File:Corp.png]] corporations.
 * [[File:Urbanism.png]] Social housing, in order to house the homeless population (and to deal with the homelessness problem), also combining it with zoning de-regulation.

[[File:Regulationism.png]] Taxation [[File:Regulationism.png]]
I believe that the budget overall should be balanced, with the exception of times of national emergency and/or during economic crises. However, at the same time I believe the taxation should not punish innovation and the entrepreneurial spirit.

As such, the taxes that I support are: However, the main source of revenues won't come from just these taxes, but also the following:
 * [[File:Georgist.png]] Land Value Tax, in order to deal with land hoarders, terrible land usage and also land speculation, set at high rates in order to end (through peaceful means) the idea of a landlord and rent seeking. A land value tax also sort of serves as an ecological tax, as harming the air is taxable as well.
 * [[File:Envi.png]] Ecological Tax, in order to deal with greenhouse gas pollution, greenhouse gasses such as methane, CO2 and others will be taxed by this tax, however things like plastics will also fall under this tax, in order to encourage alternatives to these sorts of things and to help the environment.
 * [[File:DvCommerce.png]] Payroll Tax, on things like social security and healthcare programs, in order to raise government revenue so that the programs can continue to survive and people have their insurance and have access to social security after they retire.
 * [[File:Statecap.png]] For-profit state enterprises, especially in natural resource extraction through a social wealth fund, in order to raise revenue for the state.
 * [[File:Antiwelf.png]] Eliminating wasteful welfare programs, which will be replaced with the much more effective NIT and workfare, the European government can save hundreds of billions of dollars through this decision.

[[File:Tripartism.png]] Tripartism [[File:Tripartism.png]]
Owfism supports tripatism, a form of  class collaboration in which wage councils - where delegates of  workers,  businesses and  government set internal economic policy based on economic sectors. This will allow for two things:

1. All tripartite agreements would be compromises which have the goal of satisfying all three parties (business, workers and the government) as much as it is possible and the state only enforces contracts that are negotiated on a national, state and local level. This minimizes government intervention in the economy.

2. It ensures all classes in society work harmoniously in the world interest, allowing for high levels of productivity and profitability.

[[File:Civlibert.png]] Civil Liberties [[File:Prgess.png]]
When it comes to liberties, Owfism considers itself as a libertarian ideology, as such it seeks to improve the freedom and rights, especially on the positive side of things, in order to create a freer and better society, it supports the following:


 * [[File:SJW.png]] LGBTQ+ rights, allowing them to have not only marriage and civil union rights, but many other rights in the model followed by the country of [[File:Cball-Spain.png]] Spain. Along with this, there should be permanent LGBTQ+ clothing sections in stores, as a miscellaneous extra.
 * [[File:GRights.png]] High degree of gun rights, similar to the model pursued in Switzerland, where people over the age of 18 can buy semi-automatic firearms and automatic firearms (with a may-issue permit). This shall allow for the very liberalized gun laws, while still having low gun crime.
 * [[File:Abort.png]] Abortion rights for women without any exceptions, as over 90% of abortions already happen because of rape, incest etc. anyway and almost all women do not really abort for other purposes that aren't important, they just don't just abort because they want to.
 * [[File:FreeSpeak.png]] High degree of freedom of speech, with everyone's opinions being tolerated and with there being no suppression, with there only being ostracization on extremist groups such as Nazis (mostly violent ones), terrorists (both left and right) and Communists (mostly violent ones).
 * [[File:DvPermissive.png]] Victimless crimes like drug use, pirating, whistleblowing etc. are to not be considered as crimes, due to them being victimless in their nature and not really harming anyone (other than say, themselves in some

[[File:Schoolicon.png]] Education [[File:Schoolicon.png]]
Owfism is heavily in support in changing the current system of education, believing it to be flawed and in need of reform, so that it no longer prioritizes 1800s material conditions, policies I support are as follows:
 * [[File:Edu.png]] New education reform, allowing for free school lunches & supplies, 5 hour school day, a bigger emphasis oncritical thinking and a guarantee of 2 hours/school week of fresh air and 20 minute naps in every school day along with the abolishment of exams, instead there being a form of [[File:Schoolicon.png]] sampling where everyone who got a grade over 5 (on a scale of 1-10) gets to the next form of school.
 * Allow for a high degree of [[File:Schoolicon.png]] school choice, allowing students to choose at least 6 subjects of their own choice after 8th grade and 12th grade, along with choosing their own high school/university, this can allow the student to chart out their own future.
 * Creation of [[File:Scientocracy_Small.png]] a pro-science culture through education of the population while also decoupling from religion (through separation of church and state).
 * Allow for the implementation of [[File:FeministPhilosophy.png]] sex education, in order to ensure safer sex and to reduce rates of teenage pregnancies, this can help reduce HIV cases and can save many lives.

[[File:FDF-Pirate.png]] Data [[File:FDF-Pirate.png]]
When it comes to data, I support the following policies, in order to improve privacy overall and to make social media much more healthy:
 * [[File:Copyleft.png]] Comprehensive data and privacy regulations in order to make social media less addicting and to make users secure online.
 * Deal with the power of [[File:MegaCorp.png]] big tech through anti-monopoly laws, allowing them to not have such a big focus on data and as such uphold user privacy overall.

[[File:Blacknat.png]] Race [[File:Blacknat.png]]
When it comes to the topic of race, these are my ideal policies:
 * Owfism supports the creation of a [[File:MLK.png]] Colorblind society, one where color does not really matter but rather the content of your character does. In the job market, race should not be a factor in being accepted.
 * I reject the idea of [[File:Bpop.png]] slavery reparations, seeing them as too expensive and not really worthwhile.
 * I am against the idea of [[File:Fem.png]] affirmative action, seeing it as something contradictory to the meritocracy, especially when it is on race-based grounds.
