[[File:Neocorporatism.png]] Mutually Beneficial Partnership [[File:Neocorporatism.png]]
The Mutually Beneficial Partnership is the official economic policy of  Owfism. It combines aspects from economic policies such as Social Corporatism,  Social Georgism,  Market Socialism and  Keynesianism. The sections below will mention the main tenets of this Mutually Beneficial Partnership:

[[File:Cooperative_Socialism.png]] Cooperative-Based Socialism [[File:Cooperative_Socialism.png]]
Owfism is a firm believer in Market Socialism, with Owfism being in favor of  Socialism, however, rejecting the idea of  State Socialism, believing that while it may have some short-term benefits, however, as seen in the  Soviet Union, it led to economic stagnation. As such, Owfism believes that markets are better at ensuring economic growth.

As such, Owfism is in favor of widespread adoption of worker co-operatives. These co-operatives will guarantee workers their own self-management over their own workplace, while at the same time ensuring the market concept of economic competition, as co-operatives compete with other co-operatives in other workplaces. This allows for the other co-operative to try to out-produce the other, bringing in GDP growth overall.

Co-operatives will be in all workplaces. However, it will not be mandatory as a worker to join a co-operative, with the decision being left up solely to the worker himself. Co-operatives would be in all sectors of the economy, whether it would be Agriculture,  Industry,  Services.

Co-operatives, more specifically, Media co-operatives will make sure that media becomes more impartial and more competitive as an industry overall, allowing people to have different points of view and to perceive different information from different news networks with their own co-operatives. This will create free and competitive media and end mediacracy.

Co-operatives will be the backbone of the economy and the workforce, through co-operatives, the regular people will have not just power over their own workforce and their own self-management, they will also wield political power, allowing pro-worker politicians to be elected more easily overall and end the dominance of  big donors.

In the short/medium term, Co-operatives will act sort of like how today's  worker unions act, with them demanding higher wages, job safety, more rights in their own workplace etc. However, in the long term, they will have control over the means of production, with them finally having complete  self-management. And thus achieving what Socialism is set out to do, worker ownership of the means of production.

[[File:Regulationism.png]] Taxation [[File:Regulationism.png]]
(Disclaimer: Revenue calculations from these taxes will be based on the United States, however, Owfed is not American.)

Owfism supports taxation reform based on  economic justice, and these tax reforms will be used to better fund  welfare programs,  universal healthcare and  free public education just to name a few things.

The first tax Owfism wants to implement is a Land Value Tax. This taxation will follow a progressive structure, which means that land that is not so valuable will be taxed at a lower rate while higher value land will be taxed at a higher rate, in brackets that go like this:

0$-50,000$ - 1%

50,000$-100,000$ - 6%

100,000$-500,000$ - 36%

500,000$-2,500,000$ - 72%

2,500,000$-5,000,000$ - 80%

5,000,000$ and above - 96%

Total land value in the United States is 23T $, and with these current tax brackets, the revenues from this tax would number at approximately 10T $ per year, at least initially. Just with revenues from this tax, a lot of projects that are meant at improving the country can be conducted. This tax will also serve as a replacement to property taxes.

The second tax Owfism wants to implement is a Financial Transactions Tax, this is a tax applied only within the financial sector and the stock market, the rate at which this tax will be is at the rate of 0.1%, this may seem like an insignificant rate but it will ensure that the wealthy pay their fair share and will generate 777B $ over a decade, or 77B $ per year.

Another tax that Owfism wants to levy is a Windfall profits tax, this tax will be levied on oil and gas giants at a rate of 25%, these are taxes on profits that result from a sudden windfall gain to a particular company or industry, examples of these being in wars, disasters or even, periods of high inflation where the consumer is hit the most and the rich are barely hit. This will generate 45 billion $ per year.

Owfism also wants to implement a Inheritance Tax on wealth accumulated through  inheritances. The rate at which this tax will be set will be at 40%, this only applies to assets greater than 5.3M $ per individual or 10.6M $ per couple. The revenue from such tax would be 210B $ per year, this allows the people to have an equal footing over the rich and make wealth generated through hard work, to create a model of work-place Meritocracy.

To prevent unemployed people from just using unemployment insurance as a way from being leeches or social parasites, a unemployment insurance tax will be created and set at a rate of 15% in order to encourage unemployed people to find a job quicker and to get them back into the workforce. This will weed out all of those people who can work and refuse to work, and this tax will only apply to them, and not to people who just cannot work in a job. This will make even the most parasitic person to join the workforce, as it will mean he will pay less in taxes.

Owfism, to fight the climate crisis, supports the implementation of a  carbon tax of 60$ per ton of CO2 emitted. In 2022, the United States emitted a total of 5.2 billion tons of CO2. This would make the yearly revenue from this tax be at 312B $ per year. This tax would be progressively raised over the coming years in order to be in line with the 1.5 degree celsius target of the Paris Agreement.

Owfism also wants a income tax, which will have the poor barely be taxed by it, believing that, as according to Henry George, income tax is society's killer, and is especially a killer to the poorest parts of the population.

People who earn less than <40,125$ will be subject to a earned income tax credit, which means they do not have to pay in taxes. This will lift many people out of poverty, and nearly eradicate poverty itself. The total spending dedicated to this would be 120B $. Not much, considering the amount of revenue other taxes generate that would compensate for this.

0$-9,875$: -12% (EITC)

9,876$-40,125$: -6% (EITC)

40,126$-85,525$: 1%

85,526$-163,300$: 4%

163,301$ - 207,350$: 16%

207,351$ - 518,400$: 24%

518,400$ and over: 48%

The income tax over a 1T $ dollars in revenue, with most of the revenue coming from the upper-middle, higher income and top 1% of Americans while poorer Americans will pay little to no tax, or are subject to the Earned Income Tax Credit.

Owfism also wants to increase the capital gains tax from 15% to 30%, along with ending the  stepped-up cost basis loophole, which allows  wealthy individuals to charge what is their own income as capital gains, thus making them pay less in taxes overall. Another loophole Owfism wants to end is the carried interest loophole. He also wants to end many other loopholes that rich people use to dodge taxes. Ending these loopholes would raise 13B $ per year.

Owfism also wants to dramatically increase tax revenue agencies funding, an example being the IRS, believing it to be too underfunded and too understaffed, and this results in people, especially rich people, to barely be audited, thus barely reporting on their own tax returns. This also applies to their own corporations. With this, tax revenues in a year would be 175B $.

Another tax Owfism wants to have is a Value Added Tax, set at a progressive rate, with healthier, more environmentally friendly products made to pay less in VAT while unhealthy, non-eco-friendly products set to pay more in Value-Added Tax. This will encourage people to use less plastics, drink less alcohol and smoke less cigarettes, as an example. The decision maker in which products are tested if they are eco-friendly or not are set to the Environment Performance Index while products which are healthy or not through the Food Environment Index. This will also serve to reduce obesity and encourage healthier diets. These are the brackets:

Very healthy products: 1.00%

Healthy products: 5.00%

Unhealthy products: 10.00%

Very unhealthy products: 15.00%

This would generate 160B $ per year, and it will also be very hard to dodge, which will mean that most of this revenue actually goes into being revenue, this tax will allow people to be healthier and this tax could prove to reduce obesity, reduce cancer and heart attack deaths as well.

[[File:Welf.png]] Welfare [[File:Socdem.png]]
Workfare

Owfism supports the implementation of Workfare, which would be a welfare program given to people who are at a job. This is a form of welfare reform which seeks to end welfare leeches, who are on welfare and intentionally refuse to have a job and to encourage people to get a job. Workfare also encourages workers not to resign from their jobs, knowing that they could potentially lose out. Workfare only applies to lower-middle and lower class workers. According to Owfism, the ideal unemployment rate is 4%. However, soon after a crisis ends, unemployment can go to levels as low as 3%.

Old-Age Pension

Owfism believes that the retirement age should be decreased from 67 to either 65 or 63, and make sure that there is strong social security funding given to lower-middle and lower class elderly people in order to allow them to get by in life. A pension would be 2,000 $ per person, keep in mind, this only applies to lower-middle/lower-class elderly people. So it will not be as costly.

Universal Basic Income

Owfism believes that every U.S citizen over the age of 18 that earns less than <207,000$ should be eligible for a 1,000$  Universal Basic Income. This Universal Basic Income will be very helpful in a Post-work society, where work would be completely  automated, removing the need for human labor. An Universal Basic Income will allow people to have a base of consumer spending, thus keeping the economy growing, with productivity being picked up by AI, and it being better with them too.

Child Allowance

Owfism believes that each parent should have 160 weeks of paid maternity and paternity leave in order to take care of their own child. This is a rate similar to countries like Finland. This would mean that parents who have to take care of their child and cannot attend work will still get paid and will not enter into financial poverty.

Owfism also believes that each parent should have child allowance, and that the child tax credit should be expanded from 300$ to 3,000$. This will allow families, and struggling families to remain above the poverty line, have a house and be able to properly take care of their own child and deal with the burden of the costs of taking care of the child.

Student Grants

Student grants would be given to adults participating in tertiary education, a.k.a  college. Owfism also supports the abolition of tuition fees believing them to be hindering lower income families and preventing truly smart people from getting into college because they're lower income.

This grant would allow lower income families to get their own children into respective colleges and actually ensure that  Meritocracy is created and the era of  plutocracy to end. This would contribute to fixing such societal problem.

Unemployment Insurance

Owfism wants to have strong unemployment insurance to go towards unemployed people. This will ensure that unemployed people have a stable source of income that they can use towards spending and just generally taking care of themselves as a person. This will prevent unemployed people from falling below the poverty line.

[[File:Newkeynes.png]] Fiscal Policy [[File:Keynes.png]]
Owfism describes itself as a Keynesian ideology when it comes to fiscal and monetary policy, with it supporting strong increases in money supply and deficit spending during recessions along with budget surpluses and steady monetary supply growth during good times.

During times of good economic growth, Owfism believes that there should be high government spending, however, through  taxation there will be  balanced budgets, this is to prevent massive debt and very high  inflation levels.

During recessions however, Owfism will have a expansionary fiscal policy, engaging in  high spending, with there being budget deficits in order to allow for unemployment levels to fall and to allow aggregate demand to bounce back to pre-crisis levels, thus restoring growth and consumer spending.

Owfism supports believes that there should be a Central Bank that runs independently of the government, with it having a dual mandate to maximize employment and to ensure  inflation levels are not high due to excessive stimulus with minor interest rate rises.

During consistent periods of deflation, the independent Central Bank will resort to  quantitative easing, in order to bring back inflation to typical Central Bank target levels of 2-3%. Quantitative easing will also be used in cases of a liquidity trap.

[[File:Cooperative_Socialism.png]] Means of Production [[File:Statecap.png]]
Owfism, in the short and medium term believes that mostly the government should own the means of production with there being  worker co-operatives and workplace democracy, however there will still be some  privatized companies, especially in small business.

In the long term however, the workers will own the  means of production through worker co-operatives, workplace democracy and workers' self-management. All of these things allow workers to have true control over their own businesses.

[[File:Social_corpratism.png]] Class Collaboration [[File:Demcorp.png]]
Owfism believes that, in the short and medium term, the economic system should be one based on Social Corporatism, with workers having strong  co-operatives, in which they protect their interests by lobbying for higher wages, job safety, paid leave and other things.

Temporarily, before the full transition to Market Socialism, there will be a  tripartite system of class collaboration, where the  government will mediate arguments between the  corporations and the  workers of that company. This will allow for real wage growth to match with the growth in productivity and with inflation.

[[File:Bankocracy.png]] Monetary Policy [[File:Bankocracy.png]]
Owfism believes that there should be an independent central bank, that means that it is not tied to the  government.

The monetary responsibilities of the central bank is to ensure that  inflation does not spiral out of control. To do this, the central bank will raise interest rates to levels around 2%, in order to not put too much of a burden on the American consumer while inflation does not explode.

While during economic recessions the central bank's goal is to lower interest rates, to levels below 1%, this is to stimulate the economy, boost aggregate demand and bring back consumer spending to levels before the recession.

However, central banks may not even need to use monetary policy, as according to Owfism, a decent chunk of inflation is caused by corporate price gouging, and as such, inflation can be solved through  anti-trust laws and a  windfall profits tax (on corporate giants).

This means that Owfism could be a Neo-Keynesian. As it supported fiscal over monetary policy. (although, I am not really well-versed on what it is.)

[[File:Trustbust.png]] Monopolies [[File:Trustbust.png]]
Owfism believes that corporate monopolies are an inherent evil as they discorage economic competition, and are a likely cause of inflation, as in  capitalism, if there are economic competitors, companies will have to lower prices in order to make them seem the more convincing company over their competitor.

However, once there is a corporate monopoly in an economic sector, there will not be price gouging that causes lowered prices to win up over one competitor, since well, there isn't a competitor. As such, the corporate price gouging will result in very low price decreases or even price increases since they know there isn't an alternative.

So, yea, we must TRUST BUST these monopolies. According to Owfism, there must be an economic constitution like in  Germany, which seeks to prevent the rise of big trusts in the first place. The law being that if a company has over 40% market share over its sector that it operates, then it is thus a monopoly and thus must be broken up.

He also has a number for how many companies the  trust must be broken based on its market share percentage it owns in that sector, if it is over 40% of the market share in that sector. The number of companies a big trust is to be broken up into based on the market share:


 * 40-50% Market Share - The trust is broken up into 10 companies.
 * 50-60% Market Share - The trust is broken up into 15 companies.
 * 60-70% Market Share - The trust is broken up into 20 companies.
 * 70-80% Market Share - The trust is broken up into 25 companies.
 * 80-90% Market Share - The trust is broken up into 30 companies.
 * >90% Market Share - The trust is broken up into 35 companies.

This is in accordance with the economic constitution, with the economic constitution also mentioning that the owner of the once  monopoly cannot own shares of stock within the new companies, believing that results in the previously rich owner to become even richer.

This is a big deal, as it finally allows true economic competition as envisioned by Adam Smith, the founder of  Capitalism himself. Also, companies like Google along with other tech companies and social media companies to name a few will be broken up, as they are, in accordance with the proposed constitution, eligible to be broken up as they exceed 40% market share. This applies to every company which exceeds that threshold.

[[File:Green_Party_(US).png]] Green New Deal [[File:Ectrans.png]]
In the face of the climate crisis, the most severe and most important crisis of the 21st century, we have to implement tough action in order to save our planet,  Earth. So what is the solution?

We need a radical transition to Renewable energy, such as solar and wind but also many other renewable energy sources, like geothermal, tidal, wave along with solar water heating and others. However, Owfism does support hydroelectric power.

To do this, we need a Green New Deal, with the entire fossil fuel sector being temporarily  re-nationalized in order to ease the transition to green energy and to prevent social chaos as a result of the fall of fossil fuels. Owfism wants a 78% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in order to save the climate. With there being net zero by 2050, with the 22% of emissions left being in hard to decarbonize sectors, from 2030-2050 new technologies are to be worked on to de-carbonize them too.

Owfism supports the idea of green growth, rejecting the idea of degrowth, as some people would say. Believing that the economy should grow even if fossil fuels are being phased out.

He believes that the state should begin to massively subsidize  renewables and the fight against climate change, increasing subsidies from 500B $ a year to 2T $ a year in order to more easily spread renewables across the world and to allow them to spread in poorer parts of the world.

He is also an advocate of Nuclear energy, believing it to be a pretty good baseload energy that will be very useful until renewable energy storage methods become cheaper and more effective overall, and that it must also be subsidized too.

Obviously, Owfism believes that fossil fuel subsidies should be completely phased out and that any new fossil fuel project should be completely halted in order to further stop the destruction of our own  environment.

He is also in favor of carbon taxes, emissions trading schemes and the implementation of a global carbon price, in order to disincentivize the use of fossil fuels globally and to ensure that poorer not just richer nations can de-carbonize, as climate change is a  human problem, not an  American problem or  Chinese problem.

[[File:Transh.png]] 4th Industrial Revolution [[File:Transh.png]]
Owfism believes that a 4th industrial revolution is necessary in order to improve human technology and improve humanity as a whole. So, Owfism what are the tenets of such 4th Industrial Revolution? Simple.

- Green Growth

Green Growth is a main component of the idea of the 4th industrial revolution, believing that everything from energy, transport and agriculture to housing and garbage to be de-carbonized. Owfism believes that most of these sectors if not all can be de-carbonized or have their emissions offset (through Carbon capture or other forms offsets). The aesthetics for this would be similar to Solarpunk.

- Space Exploration

Another main thing Owfism advocates for is drastically ramping up space exploration, and he also wants it to make a  government-owned motive like it was in the 1960s, believing that leaving it to the  capitalists will just allow them to exclude the working class and just use space as a place for their own ventures while the rest of the world suffers due to  climate change. He also wants to increase NASA/ESA funding from 0.4% of GDP to 1.5% of GDP. He also supports the idea of a Space Defense Force The only good thing Trump ever did

- Cooperative-Based Socialism

Owfism believes, that, when work would still be around, for it to be filled with worker co-operatives. Believing them to be the best way workers can finally achieve ownership of the means of production, as such, Owfism believes that this 4th industrial revolution should be the final nail in the coffin for non-worker owned means of production. As such, in nature, Owfism is a due to his support for worker self-management/worker ownership of the means of production.

- Automation

Owfism believes that all workplaces should be automated and that the need of human labor must disappear and also advocates for automation of all jobs and to provide human relief and leisure. Thus Owfism is a post-work ideology, believing work to be no longer a necessity in this upcoming industrial revolution. To help the now many unemployed people, a 1,000$ Universal basic income will be established.

=Society=

[[File:SocialProgressive.png]] Progress and Liberty [[File:Liberty.png]]

 * Progress and Liberty is the main societal idea behind the ideology of Owfism. Believing that there should be strong individual rights while also ensuring society progresses.
 * This is a comprehensive breakdown of Owfed's societal policy.

[[File:Gay.png]] Marriage [[File:Gay.png]]

 * Owfism supports equal marriage rights to all citizens regardless of sex or gender.
 * As such, Owfism is a stauch supporter of same-sex marriage, believing it to be a step towards individual rights.
 * The ideology believes that what two couples do in their bedroom is no business of the state and should not be a business of the state. However, some basic protections do need to be there.
 * While Owfism generally prefers a progressive social policy, he is opposed to [[File:SJW.png]] SJWs [[File:Ultraprogressivism.png]] because of the fact that they advocate for culturally extremist policies, going as far as to wanting homosexual supremacy and state-enforced atheism.
 * As such, he is more sympathetic to the [[File:Sjwliteicon.png]] SJW-lite movement [[File:Prog.png]]. A less extremist movement that has more tolerable societal policies, and prefers marriage equality over homosexual supremacy.

[[File:GRights.png]] Guns [[File:GRights.png]]

 * We need to have gun rights as it protects our liberty and contrary to gun control arguments does not really do that much harm if you have an universal healthcare system.
 * Guns protect us from criminals just in time before the police can arrive and catch him.
 * Guns are also a tool of protection from tyranny and a tool of national liberation. As said by Hitler, to conquer a country you must first dis-arm its citizens.
 * Gun violence is often attributed to weak, low quality and not universal mental healthcare programs that must be rapidly developed in order to combat mental health problems. Switzerland for example has high rates of gun ownership but little gun crimes.
 * Guns protect citizens from unnecessary authority and from crime, and gives you a sense of security.
 * Guns are part of individual rights and must be upheld.

[[File:Liberty.png]] Freedom of Speech [[File:Civlibert.png]]

 * Owfism believes that there must be a constitutional bill of rights which uphelds individual rights, ranging from privacy to gun ownership.
 * Owfism believes that the surveillance state is against privacy and as such must be repealed.
 * Owfism also wants social media to be a free place of communication where anyone can say what they want, and to believe what they want without being watched or banned.
 * This is to uphold freedom of speech and individual rights. While Owfism may seem like a free speech absolutist, he is not really, still supporting a little amount of regulation especially when stuff goes too far.
 * As such, he is a near-free speech absolutist, only putting limitations on it in extremely rare cases.
 * Owfism believes that most of all freedom of speech is an important aspect of society as it allows political competition and allows diverse ranges of opinion, and as such makes politics not look bland and not lesser of two evils politics, like in the USA.

[[File:FreeSpeak.png]] Freedom of Information [[File:Civlibert.png]]

 * Another main aspect of Owfism is his support of freedom of information.
 * With this, he advocates for an abolition of copyright, calling it an abusive tool used by companies to restrict access to products even when most needed. And also as unnecessary censorship.
 * He also wants tech companies to have different streams of income through private ads and not through watching civilians through the internet and gathering personal data about them regardless of their societal importance.
 * He believes that tech giants like Facebook, Microsoft, Apple and others should be broken up to ensure more competition and a bigger stream of news from different social media sites.
 * This will spread freedom of information to new levels never seen before.

[[File:Pro-ChoiceRemade.png]] Abortion [[File:Pro-ChoiceRemade.png]]

 * Owfism believes that abortion should be a guaranteed right as the government should not enforce women, most of them who are in danger to do abortions.
 * This illegalization of abortions will lead to women doing unsafe abortions, further harming themselves in the process.
 * Overall though, I do not really care about this. I do not understand why it is not normal for women to choose.

[[File:Fem.png]] Pay Gaps [[File:MLK.png]]

 * This probably is a more economic issue rather than a societal issue however, I am still gonna put it in this section because it mostly seems to be portrayed as a societal rather than economic issue.
 * Owfism personally believes that the gender pay gap and racial pay gap must end and that women should make as much as men and blacks should make as much as whites. We cannot have a true meritocracy when some are born to be paid less regardless of their job.
 * To allow the pay gap to be fixed, massive wage increases need to be implemented and an end to the era of stagnant wages must come to a close. Affirmative action is also a solution in order to allow women and black people to get hired based on capacity to perform a job rather than their skin or gender.

[[File:Urbanism.png]] Property [[File:Urbanism.png]]
Owfism believes that the property sector must be nationalized in the short term and put under the control of  worker co-operatives in the medium and long term. Believing that housing is a human right and is not a simple investment, just like how healthcare/education are to be a human right.

Owfism believes that there must be a massive boom in housing construction, believing that solving the housing affordability crisis to be paramount. Owfism also believes that if there is enough affordable homes in the world then homelessness will basically go extinct.

Another main way Owfism seeks to tackle housing price affordability is through land value, more specifically the complete replacement property taxation, believing it to be not just a burden on consumers but also a massive failure. He wants the implementation of a Land value tax to replace it, a.k.a a tax on the unimproved value of land.

Owfism also believes that housing should be made greener overall, many things can be done to green houses, however, I support the  Solarpunk model of housing mostly (just search up solarpunk houses to understand).

[[File:Secular.png]] State and Religion [[File:Secular.png]]

 * On matters of religion, Owfed is a non-practicing [[File:Orth.png]] Orthodox Christian. While he is affiliated to one of Christianity's branches, his overall stances on religion reflect a more secular idea.
 * Owfism supports the separation of church and state, believing that the church should not play a role in politics as that can just lead to a Oligarchy but not by the wealthy but by the church.
 * He believes that matters of religion should be kept personal and should not be connected to politics.
 * Owfism believes that there should be no official state religion, upholding the spirit of freedom of religion, allowing anyone to practice whatever religion they like.
 * Owfism himself is an Agnostic Secularism, believing that nothing has been known and cannot be known about the existence of god. Being something that we cannot prove.
 * He wants churches to be taxed like any other institutions are taxed.
 * He is opposed to state-forced secularism but also to religious theocracy as both are according to him systems that fight against the freedom to have beliefs and should be opposed in the name of liberty.
 * Owfism is also against Islamic radicals who have gained more traction thanks to Saudi and American subsidies but also against any kind of religious fundamentalists or secular fundamentalists believing them to be extremists seeking to tear up society.

[[File:Intercult.png]] Immigration [[File:Intercult.png]]

 * Owfism believes we should be accepting immigrants as they provide for jobs lost due to the fact that workers here retired due to old age. Immigrants also serve as a way to add to talent and to society as a whole.
 * However, he rejects the concept of Multiculturalism, believing it to cause rises in strongman politics, something which he seeks to prevent, as such he advocates for Interculturalism or the Melting Pot Model.
 * This model ensures that all cultures are integrated into one unified culture and do not divide the nation up into many different cultures that only divide the nation politically between populists (who seek to end mass immigration) and the establishment.
 * He wants to end the nature of self-segregating cultures who only create a culture they had, an enclave of their country into the new country they came in. He wants integration between cultures in order to promote unity much easier along with stability and cohesion.

[[File:Acidcomf.png]] Drug Legalization [[File:Acidcomf.png]]

 * Owfism is a firm believer in legalizing and decriminalizing all drugs. Believing that drugs are not a national security issue but rather a public health issue.
 * He believes that if alcohol and tobacco are legal why the hell are drugs not legal?
 * Owfism wants stronger and universal single-payer mental health in order to convince mentally abused users not to try it and also to try to help them go through their problems and overcome them as to not get hooked on them.
 * He believes that drugs should be included in the alcohol/tobacco taxation system, through the Sales Tax proposal by Owfism in order to disincentivize the consumption of it.
 * After legalization, a minimum consumption age will be set of around 18 on all drugs, just like the minimum age to consume alcohol.
 * He believes that the war on drugs was a massive failure that failed to reduce drug consumption and only encouraged illegal un-sanitary consumption of it, and allowed youngsters to illegally try the substance.
 * As such, he supports subsidizing clean needles for consumption, as they are much more healthy and do not damage the life of the consumer.

[[File:Edu.png]] Education [[File:Edu.png]]

 * Owfism is a firm believer in free and universal education for all children regardless of social status, race or gender.
 * He wants to scrap tuition fees for college users, believing them to be harming low income families and preventing them from having a potentially smart child go to the right college he deserves because of his low income.
 * He also wants to have free universal pre-K education along with fully accessible Kindergarten, Elementary, Primary and High School education to all children, believing that education is a human right that must be guaranteed to everyone.
 * Believing that education is the first way to have a productive and competitive work force. This is why the United States for example hired workers from countries with mostly high levels of education to make a new Boeing model.
 * He also wants to reform the time schedule of kids staying in school, going by the following:
 * Kindergarten school students stay from 9:00 to 13:00 or 4 hours
 * Elementary school students stay from 9:00 - 14:00 or 5 hours
 * Primary school students stay from 9:00 - 15:00 or 6 hours
 * High school students stay from 10:00 - 16:00 or 6 hours
 * College students stay from 11:00 - 17:00 or 6 hours
 * There would also be a 1 hour pause to give the students a mental break from all the information they accumulated, this being the recess period. It lasts:
 * K: 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
 * Elementary: 11:00 AM - 12:00 AM
 * Primary: 12:00 AM - 13:00 PM
 * High: 13:00 PM - 14:00 PM
 * College: 14:00 PM - 15:00 PM
 * Owfism believes that schools should care about their students mental health as the more healthy their minds are the easier they can understand and accumulate new things that they learned in school. Essentially being a win-win.
 * Owfism also supports free school lunch programs which guarantees a healthy, proper lunch to all students regardless of their income or status in society.
 * Owfism also believes that public bathrooms should be regularly cleaned in order to ensure that kids sanitation is respected and that school bathrooms should always have running hot water and soap dispensers for example.

[[File:Ecocent.png]] Transportation [[File:Anticar.png]]

 * First of all, to begin this section I would like to say SCRAP CARS! Cars generate noise pollution, block up the road, cause a shit ton of accidents and also now they are polluting even if electric cars exist (which are less than 10% of all cars in the world).
 * Well, then how will people travel?????
 * Simple, we already have alternatives that existed for quite a decent bit in human history. For short travels within the city you can just walk, take a bicycle (electric or regular, both are pretty good), take a bus (powered by green hydrogen) or a tram/metro (powered by green hydrogen).
 * That is short distance, what about long distance???
 * That is also simple, have you ever heard of a train? Yep. Trains powered by green hydrogen will basically replace cars in long distance travel.
 * But trains are slower than cars!11
 * No, not all trains are slower than cars. Some trains can even reach speeds of 500/600km/h. High Speed trains reach speeds of 200/300km/h. We should invest in such train technology and will probably exist in the future by the 2030s. These are Maglev Trains that go up to fast speeds and are far faster than almost any car out there.
 * But there is no routes that I can choose! With a car I can travel anywhere!
 * Well duh, no wonder there are barely any routes you can use with public transportation. Its because we filled up our roads with cars and have removed all demand from alternatives, if we fight back and bring back public transit, their demand will again go up thus adding more routes for them as well.
 * Ok, ok, but what is this green hydrogen thing?
 * Green hydrogen is hydrogen produced by splitting the H2 from H2O through electrical separation. Green hydrogen is used for energy storage in Renewable energy but rarely, but in my opinion I think we should phase out lithium batteries from transportation and energy and replace it with green hydrogen, it is less polluting and also can be less costly and will be less costly in the future. It also will ensure fully green transportation.
 * But what about planes? How will people go from Europe to America let's say?
 * Well, this is one of the few exceptions where I would not replace plane travel. Typical plane travel in the interior of country or the same continent should be phased out and replaced with Maglev travel.
 * However, trans-continental trips will be used with planes converted to green hydrogen and not Kerosen, as Kerosen pollution happens right up in the air, entering far more easily in the Earth's atmosphere.
 * So yea, abolish cars and (mostly) abolish planes and replace them with bikes, e-bikes, metros, trams, busses and trains. De-carbonization has to happen everywhere and we must change our civilization in order to fight the climate crisis.
 * Another main advantage to replacing cars is the reduction in noise pollution and the increase in air quality. The replacement of car streets/stroads and paving way for walkable areas with some tram/bus lanes (which take up less space) and underground metro lines. Bike/scooter trails are also included.
 * This would also boost the local economy and allow small businesses to prosper as people walk slower in a more walkable area, allowing small businesses to pop up more and to give people more time to enjoy the scenery.

=International Stage =

[[File:World_Federalism2.png]] Unity and Solidarity [[File:Globnat.png]]

 * Unity and Solidarity is the main international policy tenet which comprises of all international policy advocated by Owfed.

[[File:European_Federalism.png]] On EU [[File:Cball-EU.png]]

 * I personally think the European Union is a very good idea as it actually paves road to an eventual united world government and ensures stronger international unity and co-operation.
 * However, in the current state, the EU just straddles a weird middle where its not too de-integrated but not too integrated. Leading to a bureaucratic mess.
 * I also oppose its use of forced austerity upon non-complying member states during the 2008 crisis, should had used Keynesian fiscal spending, would had saved you on the employment and economic growth issue, just saying...
 * Overall, Owfism believes that the European Union should unite into a Federation known as the [[File:Cball-USE.png]] United States of Europe.
 * While right-wingers try to blame the EU being strong for the reason that the 2014 Refugee crisis I think the opposite.
 * If the European Union had been a single country it would had known how to have handled the situation and would have been much more united and not have had a constant fragmentation which has lead to the rise of [[File:Rpop-tinfoilhat.png]] Right-wing populists
 * The European Union could had also handled the 2008 crisis better had it been an unified state and not the current middle-point full of bureaucracy and overall a mess.
 * European Federalism is also a stepping stone in unifying the World, and with a unified world comes a unified people. A nation which can be unified in solving anything: Climate change, housing crisis etc.
 * Owfism also wants voting by member state to be done based on how parliaments do it: That being if a proposal has a majority of states supporting it then it passes. Sadly, the EU has a veto-based system where 1 state can just end it all.

[[File:World_Federalism2.png]] A New World [[File:Cball-UN.png]]
=Other stuff=
 * Owfism supports drastic United Nations reform if it wants to continue in this day and age.
 * First set of reforms is, like the EU, removing the veto-based system and instead installing a majoritarian system where if more than half of countries support a proposal then it can pass.
 * Many UN motions which could had been good and could had passed did not because of a few un-wanting countries who were not even a quarter of countries.
 * The ideology believes that the United Nations should have far more power to respond to coups and to conflicts, as the previous League of Nations was dissolved because it was essentially worthless at stopping war. This cannot happen to the UN.
 * Owfism also believes the United Nations should be more integrated, integrating into a World Federation.
 * Owfism also wants the head of state of a World Federation to be the general secretary.
 * However, he will be subject to an Earth Council, a council similar to parliaments we have today. And members of the council will be elected by the people. The General Secretary will be the leader of the largest party in the council and if he does not have a majority he works on a case by case basis with other political parties.
 * To achieve a fully integrated United Nations we need to first achieve a fully integrated European Union, as that will set in an example, then removing the veto system will also be a major step in allowing integration to happen.
 * Another thing I want there is to be an Earth Supreme Court, a supreme court which deals with international cases or to trial war criminals that have resulted in the deaths of many people in the respective countries that were at war. This would ensure international justice is respected and the UN actually has a reputation of fighting for law and justice.
 * What benefits would a united world have on society?
 * Well, first off, it will basically allow us to co-operate in ways we have never done before. Since the world is one country, net zero targets by 2050 and massive emission cuts by 2030 will apply to all areas around the world, making our climate action be far more significant.
 * It also ensures the classical liberal principles of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. However, we must transcend unbridled capitalism and create a new society.
 * We must build out a new system, based on the principles of the Green New Deal, as I mentioned in another section of this page.
 * With a United World, we can have a 4th industrial revolution, one which gives in to automation, AI and technology as a whole. (however, AI will have some regulation as to prevent life-threatening AI from being made)
 * This is why Owfism embraces Transhumanism, as it heavily favors the use of technology and artificial intelligence in the economy and in society. However, he is not an extreme transhumanist like others.
 * With a united world, we can reach for the stars, advance on the Kardashev scale, we first have the power over a planet, then over our solar system, then over other solar systems and then maybe even the galaxy. [[File:Kardashev.png]] Kardashev accelerationism time

[[File:Cball-Ukraine.png]] Ukraine and Russia [[File:Cball-Russia.png]]
united world.
 * First of all, I would like to say: Russia is a [[File:Ethnonat.png]] Ethnonationalist, [[File:Irridentism.png]] Irredentist country that is probably at this point [[File:Fash.png]] Fascist.
 * This war could had been easily prevented had the entirety of [[File:Cball-NATO.png]] NATO accepted Ukraine in 2009, soon after Romania and Bulgaria. Owfism believes that NATO, EU and the UN should follow a model of voting on legislation based on how national parliaments do it, that being a majority of nations agreeing to something, that means it is accepted.
 * Ukraine is not the most perfect country and it is not the most democratic, however, it is the lesser of two evils in this situation, and the nation that is attacked by aggressive [[File:Cball-Russia.png]] Russian imperialism.
 * You may think that I am for [[File:Cball-US.png]] American imperialism, but nope, I am opposed to that. I do not want [[File:Cball-US.png]] American,[[File:Cball-Russia.png]] Russian or [[File:Cball-China.png]] Chinese hegemony but rather Global hegemony. I want a society not led by a nation, but a society led by humanity. A
 * I personally believe that Ukraine should be given the weapons it needs so that the war is shorter than it otherwise would have and to finally bring back full-on grain shipments so that the brewing food crisis ends and inflation begins to go back down.
 * Ukraine must be protected from the hands of Russian imperialism and should be helped in repairing its economy and to also integrate it into [[File:Cball-NATO.png]] NATO and [[File:Cball-EU.png]] EU.

[[File:Cball-Taiwan.png]] China [[File:Cball-China.png]]
Owfism is firmly pro-Taiwan when it comes to the matter of China. He is sympathetic to Left-Liberal Tridemism, however he rejects the  Irredentist view that Taiwan should take back  mainland China, instead believing Taiwan should be an  independent sovereign nation so that it can escape the shackles of the  People's Republic of China led by Xi Jinping, a leader who is even more fervent on getting Taiwan under mainland control.

As such, Owfism is a firm supporter of the Democratic Progressive Party of Taiwan, led by now current President of Taiwan Tsai Ing-wen, and is opposed to  Chinese attempts at getting Taiwan under it's own control and wants Taiwan to be given military aid, especially from the  United States,  Japan and  South Korea. This is to allow Taiwan to have a chance at blocking China in it's invasion.

=Philosophy=

[[File:Nietzsche.png]] Eternal Recurrence [[File:Nietzsche.png]]
The metaphysical beliefs of Owfism can be summed up in the support of the Nietzschean metaphysical concept of the  Eternal Recurrence. This being the idea that the universe always repeats and always will repeat and that humanity should embrace it.

The universe according to Owfism is forever repeating, as it repeats the 3 fundamental cycles of reality and the universe as a whole: Creation, Expansion and Contraction. These 3 things meet the criteria of all living organisms that have ever lived in this Universe and will ever live, from Humans,  Animals and other living organisms.

[[File:Scientocracy_Small.png]] Conformal Cyclic Cosmology [[File:YellowDwarfSup.png]]
As said above, Owfism believes in the Eternal Recurrence, while also believing in the 3 cycles of Creation, Expansion and Contraction.

According to Owfism, the Big Bang was started after the 3 cycles finally ended for the previous Universe that was before us, and that is how our Universe was created.

Our universe is currently in the stage of expansion and will inevitably be in the cycle of contraction, where our universe would die, and the cycles would start again.

This is called conformal cyclic cosmology, and it believes, along with Owfism that the universe, over many eons has been destroyed and has come back, in an infinite cycle.

This was advocated for by theoretical physicist Roger Penrose.

[[File:Hawking.png]] Multiverse Theory [[File:Hawking.png]]
Owfism also believes that are multiple universes in space, outside of our own universe, this had been advocated for by theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking.

He believes that the multiple other universes follow the exact same cyclical cosmological cycle, as stated above, where the universe gets destroyed and then it comes back into existence in the form of a new universe.

[[File:Heliocentrist.png]] Heliocentrism [[File:Heliocentrist.png]]
Owfism believes that the Earth and all other 7 planets in the Solar System + the dwarf planets, asteroids and other objects in the  Solar System orbit around the Sun. This being in line with the Heliocentrist argument.

He rejects the definition of planets of being wandering stars, as it based purely on seeing the sky and nothing else, instead going with the definition that a planet is an object that has a spherical shape, can clear its orbit and it has an orbit around the Sun.

[[File:Univgravf.png]] Universal Attractionism [[File:Univgravf.png]]
Owfism believes that all objects with mass attract each other, regardless of how small or big those objects are to be. This is the argument of Universal Attraction.

With this, Owfism believes that gravity is a real thing, and that the earth is a spherical object, more specifically an oblate spheroid, as its spherical shape is not fully spherical, bulging out at the planet's equator.

[[File:Aristotle.png]] Immanent Realism [[File:Aristotle.png]]
Owfism believes in Aristotelian Immanent Realism. Rejecting the Platonist idea that the universe is bound on the concept of forms. Instead believing in the fact that all objects are bound up by 3 main causes, those causes being:

- Material cause (Composition)

- Formal Cause (Arrangement)

- Efficient Cause (Function)

As such, with the idea of Immanent Realism, all objects are bound to these physics: Composition, Arrangement and Function. Owfism believes that Immanent Realism better describes the laws of physics of a object, compared to the  Platonist idea of Forms, which is pretty simplistic and is not correct.

[[File:Socrates.png]] True Wisdom [[File:Socrates.png]]
What is true wisdom? That is the question. Well, according to Owfism, humanity reaches the level of true wisdom once it realizes what seems to be the obvious: The fact that we, as a species, know next to nothing about ourselves and our surroundings. Even our planet can still feel like an unknown place to us at times.

This is line with the ideas of Socrates, who believed that true wisdom is when we know that we know nothing. And Owfism, agrees. The concept is that wisdom is when humanity realizes that the only thing we can actually know is how little we know and will ever know.

[[File:Rene_Descartes_.png]] Cartesian Rationalism [[File:Rene_Descartes_.png]]
In line with the idea that true wisdom is the fact that we know nothing, Owfism also believes that to truly enhance human knowledge humans must adopt, at least once in their lifetime, Skeptical beliefs about everything they once knew, believing that humans can doubt almost everything.

Everything can be doubted upon humans at least once in their lifetime, ranging from our scenes to the truth about mathematics. Even if our skepticism does not lead to more truth being gathered, it is still something we must embrace. This is in line with the philosophy of Cartes.

However, the one thing we will be able to know is that we think and that therefore we are actual beings in this world.

[[File:Kant.png]] Immanent Experience [[File:Kant.png]]
Owfism believes in the Kantian idea of the 3 main understandings of the world, the main perceptions we experience the world, these are: Intuition, Reason and Understanding. Intuition is sensory impression that are given off by objects around us, and reason is how we make logical destinations off of intuition. Understanding things is how we comprehend things without requiring Intuition.

As such, with this, humans are to be a mostly intuitive species, with them using reason to have a logical conclusion to what we see, and understanding is how we comprehend things without sensing them. This is in line with the Epistemology of Immanuel Kant. Owfism believes that the way we understand the world tells a lot about how we as people are and why we are.

[[File:Aristotle.png]] Syllogism [[File:Aristotle.png]]
Owfism also believes in the idea of Syllogism (a form of deductive reasoning) as said by Aristotle. Here's an example of this:

1. I have one apple.

2. The apple is red.

3. That means I have one red apple.

If you have one apple, and the apple is red, the conclusion is the fact that you have one red apple.

This is a simple form of deductive reasoning that is distinct from induction, and is used to drawn conclusions based on simple propositions as shown above. This can apply to any object or being, let's do another example:

1. I have a dog.

2. The dog is brown.

3. I have a brown dog.

If you have a dog, and the dog is brown, the conclusion is that you have a brown dog.

[[File:Histval.png]] History and Individuals [[File:Histval.png]]
History, according to Owfism is always written by Individuals, rejecting the  Marxist idea that the  people wrote history.

The question is now why? Why is it that individuals wrote history and not the people? Why individuals? Why not the collective? History is subjective by every measure. As such, history cannot be fully written by the populace, and there are always multiple sides of history supported by different kinds of people.

As such, the writing of history is always tied down to historical individuals and will be tied down to individuals of today, and will never be tied down to the entire populace, as subjective matters cannot be broadly written by the people.

[[File:Indiv.png]] Individual Rights [[File:Indiv.png]]
Owfism believes that to achieve human flourishing and have a good life, individuals should be free to do almost what they want, with them being able to know their limit before it is too late.

He believes that if society is permissive and allows individuals to do what they want and what they desire while also being virtuous, not only a good life is guaranteed but also a good society, a great society to be exact.

[[File:Indlibsoc.png]] Wilde's Individualism [[File:Indlibsoc.png]]
Owfism believes that you can be free as an individual so long as you do not hurt another physical person or personal property of that said person. Through individualism a man can truly recognize that he is himself, this is in line with the philosophy of Oscar Wilde.

Owfism believes that a progression of thought is the assertion of individualism, the individual, against authority, allow the individual to develop freely, naturally and beautifully. Authority only seeks to force a person to do what authority desires, Owfism rejecting collectivism, however, that does not mean that Owfism rejects Socialism.

To Owfism, Socialism can easily be  Individualism. Individualism can be expressed in many ways, whether it would be through art, self-expression or other means. Socialism can allow people to be economically free and not be chained to the inequalities of the capitalist system.

[[File:Anticap.png]] Why Capitalism is Against Individualism [[File:Trustbust.png]]
This is a rather hot take, now, Owfed, how is  Capitalism against  individualism? Simple. Let's first begin with the Classical liberal principles of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. These are all principles which sum up individualism, right? And to that I say yes, they are. However, capitalism has created a system of monopolization, which disincentivizes competition and thus disincentivizes freedom.

Capitalism in the modern world not only serves as completely against any form of business competition, which hinders economic freedom, it also oppresses workers and prevents them from unionizing and ensuring that they have their own self-management and freedom. This is in turn gives the Capitalists control over their workers, going against Individualism.

Capitalism, through worker oppression, through surveillance of the individual in basically every place he is in, whether in the supermarket or on the internet, through refusal to allow workers to have their own self-management, to not protecting workers from workplace harm, Capitalism right now goes against the 3 principles of Classical Liberalism, and is thus  anti-individualist.

[[File:Libms.png]] An Alternative [[File:Clib.png]]
We must transcend classical liberalism while still maintaining principles (Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness). How do we do that? Simple. A solution can already be found through Libertarian Market Socialism.

Libertarian Market Socialism ensures all the three principles are respected: Life (people are to live free from harm), Liberty (people are to be able to enjoy life) and the Pursuit of Happiness (people are to pursue their passions). This as such allows Libertarian Market Socialism to maintain the 3 principles of  Classical Liberalism.

Thus, achieving a society where Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness are truly respected, with people having a right to life, a right to liberty and a right to pursue happiness. This could mean that Owfism is a Liberal Socialist, at least in the historiographical form.

[[File:Constructivist.png]] Human Character [[File:Constructivist.png]]
Owfism is inherently constructivist, believing that the way humans act and understand the world are tied down to their own socio-economic conditions that they have been born with, rejecting  essentialism, which views individuals based on inherent, born traits.

The main reason why blacks for example are paid less than whites or why they are poorer than whites is not down to the traits they have as an individual when they are born, but by the socio-economic conditions they have, as they have been proven to change when those improved.

Owfism also believes that societal action often turns out to be more important than individual action, contrary to essentialist views of society that everything can just be solved by individuals "not being lazy". With problems like climate change contradicting this individual action is the right way in everything.

[[File:Virtue_ethics_icon.png]] Virtue [[File:Virtue_ethics_icon.png]]
Owfism is in favor of the idea of Virtue Ethics, these ethics, according to Owfism being the way humanity should work and operate in day to day life, believing that if humans are to be virtuous, they can know their limits and they can know when to exercise pleasure or sadness. These ethical ideas were supported by people from Aristotle,   Confucius and others.

Owfism rejects Nihilism and  Hedonism, believing them to be the Ethical extremes: The extreme of sadness and the extreme of happiness. Nihilism is the former, while Hedonism is the latter. The reason Owfism hates Nihilism is that it ignores the real conditions of society and always assumes that everything is bad, and everything will always be bad. While Hedonism believes that life must always be full of pleasure, something which Owfism rejects.

Owfism believes that living a good life is to not just have pleasure, but to also have  Virtue. Without virtue and just pleasure, you may live a life with pleasure, but that is not a flourishing life. To live a truly good life, you must add Virtue to the structure, as without Virtue, life can collapse easily.

So, how is a human virtuous? What is virtue? Virtue is characterized, according to Owfism through 3 main ways:

- Wisdom: Wisdom is the ability of a human to learn, the ability to think from different perspectives and to not be stuck thinking through single idea, the idea of distinguishing through understanding on what is right/wrong and to be able to put your knowledge into practice.

- Justice: Justice is the idea of giving credit where it is deserved, it is to acknowledge who actually did it and to not steal someone's idea and claim it as your own, crediting people who truly deserve it is one of the main pillars of Virtue.

- Friendship: Friendship is the idea of practicing the ideas of trust and love, this being the fact that every person should be trustworthy and loving if they are to be virtuous, if you have trust and are loving, you can form bonds with other people, in turn allowing a good life to develop.

Owfism believes that Hedonism lacks Wisdom, as it always exercises the same idea of pleasure and does not have different perspectives. As such, it cannot be virtuous.

Meanwhile, Nihilism lacks Friendship, as it is always isolated and is constantly full of doom and hopelessness. It does not have trust in anything, society or people.

[[File:Consequentialism.png]] Consequence [[File:Consequentialism.png]]
Owfism is also a firm Consequentialist, believing that actions are determined if they are right or wrong based on the idea of consequences. If the consequences of an action is good, that means that action was right and necessary. If the consequences were bad, that means that action was a bad decision.

Humans should think about the consequences of their actions before conducting them, believing as that improves the results of the action and makes it more likely to be a positive action rather than a negative action, and as such, lead humanity down a path of virtue.

[[File:Eudaimonia.png]] Human Flourishing [[File:Eudaimonia.png]]
Owfism believes Human Flourishing is the main goal that humans and more specifically humanity should pursue. Human Flourishing is the combination of both virtue and pleasure and what a good life should truly be. Human Flourishing is a way in which humans can truly live a good life.

Human Flourishing is also the main idea of the political beliefs of Owfism, along with Virtue, with his political beliefs grounded in the ideas of Virtue and Pleasure, allowing humans to enjoy the best of life while not abandoning their true principles.

[[File:Histval.png]] History and Individuals [[File:Histval.png]]
History, according to Owfism is always written by Individuals, rejecting the  Marxist idea that the  people wrote history.

The question is now why? Why is it that individuals wrote history and not the people? Why individuals? Why not the collective? History is subjective by every measure. As such, history cannot be fully written by the populace, and there are always multiple sides of history supported by different kinds of people.

Philosophy of War
The philosophy of war is the philosophy devoted to examining issues such as the causes of war, the correlation between human nature and war but also the ethical idea of war.

[[File:Tao.png]] Warfare [[File:Virtue_ethics_icon.png]]
Owfism supports the Taoist idea of how war should be fought, more specifically, the way  Sun Tzu thought war is fought through the Art of War. He is also synthesizes this with the idea of virtue.

He believes that a general, to be capable of fighting a war must be enlightened, that is the  taoist version of how a general should be, however, Owfism synthesizes the idea of an  enlightened general with the idea of  virtuous general.

Owfism believes that a general must have the values of enlightenment (rationality, strategy and even-temperance) along with the values of  virtue (wisdom, justice and friendship).

Owfism believes that a general who specializes in the values of rationality, strategy, even-temperance + wisdom, justice and friendship  can be very great at knowing himself and his enemy, one of the main strategies Sun Tzu mentions in the Art of War.

Owfism also supports emphasizing the need of both tactics as strategy as without tactics the sound of defeat is upon the general and without strategy there can only be a very slow route to an eventual victory in the war.

Another thing that is part of Owf's philosophy of war is the idea that the most supreme form of war is the war that is won before it is even fought. It also being the greatest victory it can ever be bestowed upon a general.

[[File:Necon.png]] The Cause of War [[File:Cball-China.png]]
What is the cause of war? What causes war? That is the main question that is related to the topic of war. The essential cause of the war itself.

Well, you can just look to the "pretexts" of wars and just say: Oh! that is the cause of the war! But in my opinion, that is completely wrong. The pretext of the war not only completely ignores the main cause of the war, but also the build-up that led to the cause of the war.

In my opinion, the reason for all wars in history and present has always been purely geopolitical in nature. While pretexts may say otherwise, wars have always been for a geopolitical purpose, whether it was to expand a nation's influence on the world stage or to gather new resources the invading nation does not have.

It always ties down to geopolitics in Owf's opinion. However, there is something more fundamental at play, which leads to the next section:

[[File:Antinat.png]] A Warfare Case for Anti-Nationalism [[File:Antinat.png]]
Why does geopolitics always cause wars? Well, there is something at play possibly more important than geopolitics. That is the idea of a nation state. The nation state has always existed since the dawn of the first civilization.

However, as history shows, the rise of the first nation state did not immediately began the first war. So that clearly means that the idea of a nation state has embroiled itself into the cause of wars over time. But why?

The answer is simple, according to Owfism, the inevitable birth of geopolitics by the  nation state, gave rise to the first wars. Why? It's because civilization leaders realized that if they had influence over another nation, they could gain resources they couldn't possibly dream to have here. So, how they gained resources they didn't have? By either conquering or influencing other nations into giving them their resources.

If they don't comply, then a nation would declare war at the non-complying nation and invade it, and this would be the norm for basically many centuries, but not just for resources, but for many other things that are tied to geopolitics.

But, something happened after the end of the Cold War that changed everything: That was globalization. After globalization began to be put into effect, wars that were nation invading another nation became rare if not non-existent, and the wars that were a thing were purely internal wars or civil wars.

The number of casualties in wars has basically decreased to a level never seen before. And this was technically thanks to globalization and opening up in trade, as a war now has consequences for not just the nation being invaded, but also the invader. Through sanctions.

However, as we saw in Ukraine, sanctions are not enough to stop the idea of a nation to nation conflicts and the game of  geopolitics continues to rage on. Which means there is a more fundamental problem at play. That being the nation state.

So, what is the alternative? Well, a united world federation could provide the answer. Such federation would basically abolish not just the nation state but also the need for  geopolitics.

What's the point of fighting over resources or gaining more influence if there is only one nation and there being all kinds of resources because well, its the entire planet under the control of a World Federation. Well, it could be entirely possible that war as a concept may cease to exist, or even be very limited.

[[File:Pragmat.png]] Realpolitik [[File:Mach.png]]
What is Realpolitik? That is the question that springs up to your mind. Real politics is based on practical ideas and not ideological beliefs, this is the reason why ideologies like Communism  have never become a thing or even got close to being a thing.

It is because the people have been convinced by the rulers into believing the things that are practical and not the things that are ideal. People no longer have the pursuit of the idea, but the pursuit of what can be done, what can be done right now, and not fall to moral dogmas.

Why do people want to rule? This is a pretty interesting question, and the main idea is the incentive of power. Power is the driving incentive of rulers and is the way the State has managed to stay for so long and how it will stay for so long. It is the idea of power, the idea to truly stand out among the rest of society, to go down in history, whether it is good or bad.

This is why ideologies like Third Way have become the dominant forces of the Left, instead of  Communism, as the Third Way is deemed the more practical and more realistic ideology to the populace, while Socialism is seen as some utopian idea, an impossible task.

[[File:RomSto.png]] Citizenship [[File:RomSto.png]]
Owfism believes that by nature, humans have two citizenships: Citizenship to their homeland and to the  world. And with this, came two sets of responsibilities: Responsibility to your homeland and responsibility to the world.

As such, Owfism follows a belief that is closer to the ideas of Roman Stoic Marcus Aurelius.

[[File:Cosmo.png]] Globalization [[File:Cosmo.png]]
Owfism, on diplomacy is firmly a cosmopolitan, believing that, globalization is a natural process and it has been shown over history as human civilization has become ever more interconnected, today being more interconnected than it ever was before, with Owfism subscribing to  cosmopolitan international theories.

Globalization right now may have barriers but it can overcome them and the world can become even more globalized, this rise in globalization could potentially give rise to Liberal democracy in previously autocratic countries.

[[File:Liberal_Democracy.png]] Virtuous and Corrupt Governments [[File:Oligarchy.png]]
Owfism believes that a government to be good it must be virtuous, this applies to any form of government and is not relegated to Democracy. Over history, it has been very clear that the governments which were popular, the governments which delivered good results were the governments who had virtue.

So, Owfism do you support Stoic virtues or  Aristotelian virtues? And personally, I support Aristotelian virtues. Owfism believes that the virtues of Wisdom, Justice and Friendship are the main driving forces that allow a government to be virtuous, and a government cannot be virtuous if one of them isn't there.

Good examples of virtuous forms of governments are:  Democracy,  Direct Democracy,  Monarchy and  Security (authoritarianism).

In rest, if one of the virtues or all of the virtues are not there then the government is not virtuous. It is thus a corrupt government.

Examples of corrupt forms of governments are: Oligarchy, Ochlocracy,  Tyranny and  Autocracy.

=Aesthetics=

1. Solarpunk

Owfism subscribes to Solarpunk aesthetics, with these types of aesthetics being used on planets, more specifically, habitable planets in the Goldilocks zone of their own Solar System. With architecture including lots of greenery and emits little if not no CO2 as things are basically electrified, powered on the power of the sun or other renewable powers.

2. Atompunk

This type of aesthetics is used on housing in international space stations, with cities being designed and powered based on the idea of fusion power (In the long-term) or just modern fission power in the short and medium term. These energy sources have little to no CO2 and as such everything will be eco-friendly too.

3. Lunarpunk

This type of aesthetics is used on housing placed on the moon, houses will also be powered by the Sun and other sources of  renewable energy. Houses on the moon will follow the idea of Lunarpunk and fit in with the aesthetic of the Lunar surface.

Yes these are all based according to me.

 * [[File:DemocratF.png]] Democratism - This is complicated. The Democrats are better than the Republicans and I would had put them in Frenemies, however, we must not ignore that your Centrism and them being also taken over by corporations just result in barely any action in repealing previous Republican legislation. Most Democrats are just in the hands of corporate pockets and are GOP-lite. Only Sanders and other American progressive democrats are really keeping me from not hating it completely like the GOP.
 * [[File:USAGOP.png]] American Republicanism - The GOP is literally a far-right party, it is easily seen by the January 6th insurrection, the GOP-dominated Supreme Court. When the Democrats have a narrow majority in Congress, the GOP does everything to prevent the Democrats from doing actually good actions, and as such, their actions are limited and barely undo previous GOP nonsense laws. Then in the midterms they take over Congress and implement laws which practically undo all the good Democrats implemented.
 * [[File:PSD.png]] - Very bad Romanian political party, the only remotely good thing is their economics I guess, however, their massive amounts of corruption and very terrible social policies and religion policies just makes them worse.

 * [[File:Hamburger.png]] Rejuvenative Hamburg thought You have some good economic policies, you support UBI and all, I like that, but the problem I have with you is the fact that you support making every village independent, it is so difficult to implement and how will the world even co-operate when there are 7,000 or more Liechtenstein sized countries all over the world? How could we do any international-related stuff?
 * I like your support of Democratic Socialism and Market Socialism, but do not like your support of Marxism-Leninism and Dengism. Please tone that down.
 * Ronwelltarianism_icon.png Ronwelltarianism I have pretty mixed opinions about you, I like your support of guns, liberty and welfare but I am not so sure about Childism and Anti-Abortion though...
 * [[File:Councilguy2.png]] Post-Councilism You are an anarchist opposed to capitalism and wants egalitarianism, individualism is based but I do not really like the pessimism.
 * [[File:InexistentIcon.png]] Inexistent Ideology First off it is nice that you like Socialism, Henry George and Theodore Roosevelt. However though I think you take Socialism way too far and while Transhumanism is based I think it is also too extreme. Also cool it down with the Europhobia. Also far too authoritarian for me.
 * [[File:Ultro.png]] Ultroneism I really cannot judge your political beliefs, since well, you literally do not have any. I am gonna judge your philosophical beliefs, first off, I really do not like your opposition to humanism, I also do not like Egoism. I am not that well versed in Hegelianism, Heracliteanism, Nominalism and Post-Modernism to really give a proper opinion on those. Although, to be fair, you managed to make me abandon the fourth Aristotelian cause concept and you are also probably the most literate and informed user out here.
 * [[File:Ioist.png]] Ego-Progressivism You seem to be a more extremist version of me, but you're also an [[File:Ego.png]] Egoist and [[File:Existentialist_Anarchism.png]] Existentialist, philosophies which I do not really affiliate with.

Eh, at least is an environmentalist and corporatist. Although not really enough to put you at Frenemies imo. Transhumanism is not that bad though, although should be voluntary.
 * [[File:Thanat.png]] Thanatism - Your free speech and love for freedom are very tolerable, but your very capitalist economics, egoism, pro-life stance on abortion and support of Objectivism is just terrible. Restricting abortion just restricts people of their liberty, and the free market restricting/regulating the use of drugs is just laughable. With this, the free market will just become a state of its own and just make the state come back, the very thing you sought to die. I could continue to go on about your ideology, but I am just gonna stop here since its already taking up a lot of space.
 * [[File:NekoqingBolsh.png]] Nekoqingist Bolshevism - It's nice that you support Market Socialism, but your support for [[File:AuthSoc.png]] authoritarian socialist figures kinda conflicts with that. Your cultural policies are pretty terrible, your opposition to [[File:Indiv.png]] individualism is terrible. You support eco-socialism, but I hate how you only reserve it to developed countries. Your support for [[File:XiJinpingThoughtf.png]] I also hate, overall a pretty terrible ideology.
