Citizenism

Citizenism is modeled after the views of ResponsibleCitizen. Both culturally and economically right-wing, it seeks to combine libertarian economics with traditional Judeo-Christian values. The only regulations present would be the bare minimum (common sense [I will elaborate as I expand page]) as to allow a truly competitive market. ResponsibleCitizen aims for free trade, but it wants an end to the imperialism of neoliberals and neoconservatives, striving for the immediate cessation of any foreign meddling and wars. He also wants a relatively small army, believing that the U.S. Army is too large, expensive, and such a huge fighting force is unnecessary. In terms of culture, he is against the excessive promotion of LGBTQ+ ideology and wants an end to immoral degeneracy that he views has plagued the nation (it is important to note that ResponsibleCitizen does not want discrimination or harm against LGBTQ+ people, and it would be legal for gay people to get married and have children. I am simply against the excessive promotion and obsession over this kind of behavior). = Beliefs =

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

= User Test (W.I.P.)= Scoring System: If you fully agree with the statement, you get 1 point. If you mostly/partially agree with the statement, you get half a point. If you disagree with the statement, you get absolutely nothing. Economics:   I believe that a free market economy allows the best and most hardworking/resourceful to thrive.  I believe that socialism is bound to fail each time it is implemented. Economic theory cannot be empirically proven.  Bureaucracy/government regulation leads to monopolization, not free markets. The free market is the best way to deal with issues such as climate change. Freedom of employment is guaranteed under a free market.
