Economics
To summarize my economics, I adhere to a synthesis of State Capitalism,  Social Capitalism, and  Tripartism. I believe that Capitalism is the best economic system for the people due to it tremendously expanding the economy and improving life. I believe that interventionist policies should be implemented to prevent mindless consumerism from taking over and securing the worker's happiness and support of the government.

[[File:Regulationism.png]] Intervention [[File:Regulationism.png]]
I believe that the state should intervene in the economy heavily. The means of production should still be in the hands of the market, but the state should watch that production, making sure everything goes safely and smoothly, while nationalizing industries too important for the market to handle. I also think the state should have the right to correct any mistakes made by the market if there are any. Regulations are needed to ensure that all corporations are subordinate to the state, and that things like monopoly and mindless consumerism don't take place. I also support the profit motive as long as people are put over profit We should make sure that these regulations don't hinder economic growth and production, however. I do think the state should have the right to correct any mistakes made by the market if there are any.

[[File:Tripartism.png]] Class Collaboration [[File:Tripartism.png]]
Marxist class warfare is just a waste of time, resources, and lives. To punish success is just ridiculous, it is natural that some will have it better than others, and that isn't a bad thing, as you have to work hard to get to this level of success. The idea that it will make them lazy is not true, as people will always strive to become better or more successful, and they must work to do that. However, separating the classes from each other is just as bad, as we would get nothing done from doing this. That being said, class collaboration should be encouraged by the state, as we would get so much more done from this, and it would promote further cooperation in the nation and healthy relations between classes.

[[File:Socdem.png]] Welfare [[File:Socdem.png]]
I support a moderate welfare state and worker benefits, as securing the support of the working people(and the common people) is probably the most important objective, as they are the needed in the nation to make it great and keep it great. Thus, the workers deserve better conditions. I also recognize that private charities aren't perfect and don't always raise money for those who are actually in need. However, there should be different social programs for specific events, like for the needs of children, healthcare, and the disabled. Welfare should be only used when actually needed, and the state should make sure no lazy people undeserving of welfare get it.

[[File:Cap.png]] Influence of the wealthy [[File:Cap.png]]
The wealthy should be allowed to be wealthy, as long as they work for it and contribute to society by doing business until senility takes over. However, people who are wealthy from inheritance or a donation should still be expected to contribute to society in some way, just as everyone else is. If any wealthy person does nothing productive with their money, then they should have their taxes raised on them until they are able to find a way to contribute to society and justify holding on to their money. The influence of the wealthy should, however, be suppressed. The rich should not be more influential over the populace than the state itself.

[[File:Corp.png]] Corporate influence [[File:Corp.png]]
Corporations should hold no influence in the government. Their main goal is profit no matter what, even if it means creating a society of mindless consumerism, so giving them the power to influence government decisions is a really bad idea. Lobbying is also a big problem, as it is a popular form of corruption that serves the interests of private companies instead of the nation. The fair repair act only failed due to huge tech companies influencing government decisions, and they should never do that. The state should never be bribed by anyone. The state should only support big business interests when they align with the state's interests.

[[File:SyndieSam.png]] Unions [[File:SyndieSam.png]]
I support unions that are regulated by the state to ensure it actually represents all workers. The workers should negotiate with corporations for better wages, workplace safety, paid leave days, etc. Due to me supporting Tripartism, The state should be the mediator between the two sides and intervene so both sides are compromising and neither side gets the upper hand. Agreements should always include the state due to this. For example, If wages are increased, then corporate taxes should be lowered. This helps promote healthy labor relations between the workers and businesses instead of the divisive, pointless conflict to achieve worker dominance that radical unionists promote.

[[File:Property.png]] Property [[File:Property.png]]
Property rights are vital to a rational society. They bought it, which means they worked for it, and if they were gifted it, then they still have the right to have it, as people have the right to make choices about their own property, like who they give it to or what to put there. Taking this right away from people makes no sense. People don't deserve things they didn't work for or weren't given to them, to take away someone's earned property and give it to a bunch of lazy stoners is unfair and irrational. If someone is trespassing and they knew they were going into private property, they should be fined.

[[File:Dirigisme.png]] Public Property = State Property [[File:Dirigisme.png]]
Public Property, on the contrary, is given to the people. The people have the right to walk into public spaces. However, it is not owned by them. Public property cannot have no owner either. For it to be public, whoever owns the property has to allow anybody to use it. Where I live, the public library is owned by the township. The reason for this is because all property should have someone or something to uphold the responsibility of protecting the property to ensure that people are able to use it. There are many filth who will vandalise or steal something meant for the people so they can have it for themselves. There should be something to prevent that from happening. Without that responsibility upheld, public property will be unusable. That is why a society that practices something like Anarcho-Communism is bound to fail.

[[File:Multicult.png]] Intellectual Property [[File:Multicult.png]]
Intellectual "Property" does not exist. If you make an idea, other people should have the right to use that idea or get inspired by it. Now, if you're directly copying someone's work, that's a different story. But if you are simply inspired by someone's work or want to use their idea, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

[[File:Timocracy.png]] Landlords [[File:Timocracy.png]]
Landlords provide an essential service, and I agree that if you are using someone else's property, they have the right to ask you for money. However, we should still implement a land value tax, as they usually laze about draining poor people's money, not really contributing to society enough, sure they provide people who are in need of homes places to live, but what else do they do? They should still be allowed to continue doing their landlord stuff, but a land value tax should still be implemented due to this.

[[File:Apolit.png]] Taxes [[File:Apolit.png]]
I support a progressive tax system for the rich, though for the middle and lower class, there should be a flat tax system. I support higher taxes for the rich because I want to limit their influence, and because the rich get to live in luxury and work less than the other classes while these other classes work hard but still don't achieve luxury. It is only fair that those who work less but have it made have to pay more than those who work more but still have to worry about their financial situation. The flat tax should be about 18%, while the wealthy tax would be at least 20% marginal rate.

[[File:Bankocracy.png]] The Banks [[File:Bankocracy.png]]
Banks should be nationalized nationwide. The state is more trustworthy in handling people's money than private businesses, and i think that the people should learn to put their trust in the state instead of these businesses. It would also be better at preventing economic crisis, as the state would respond quicker and prevent anything from going wrong in the banks to prevent any crisis from going any further. We have seen time and time again that independent banks only worsened economic situations when there is a crisis, like in the recession of '08 and the Great Depression.
