O'Langism

Overview
O'Langism is an ' and  ' ideology inhabiting the bottom left corner of the political compass. It seeks to establish a ', and  ' society, where  ' and a  ' alongside a  . Unlike other anarchist ideologies, it accepts the fact that different environments may need different ideologies, meaning that it is fine with ' to  ' governments as long as a direct democracy is present. It believes in ' and that individuals are the most important part of society, but is opposed to  ' because it believes that a certain amount of collectivism is necessary, and putting the always putting the individual first can cause problems.

[[File:Mutualist.png]] Beliefs [[File:AnSynd.png]]
O'Langism is a far left ideology. Being an ' ideology, it seeks to abolish government and all forms of hierarchy (unless justified), replacing them with  ' inside of autonomous communes. It is a heavily ecological ideology, emphasizing  and protection of the environment. It believes in providing  via syndicates for professions. A main belief of O'Langism is ' It opposes both  ' and  , thinking the best system for ownership is for housing and businesses to be owned by those who use them or work in them. It does, however, believe in communal ownership and/or no ownership of land, thinking that humans have no right to buy and sell the earth for private gain. O'Langism believes in a ' based on  '  ' and  ' It seeks to establish gradual change on a countrywide scale by using  ' and to implement as many  ' and other  ' and seeks to establish immediate change by organizing groups of people to form  ' Then, once society is reformed enough, and syndicates control enough territory, there will be a mass strike and (hopefully) peaceful insurrection to overthrow the government, and establish complete anarchism.

[[File:Directdem.png]] Political Organization [[File:Fed.png]]
O'Langism believes in organizing society through ' with a  ' These cities would be divided into wards, which would engage in a weekly face to face meeting to discuss community issues, and vote on what to do about them. When making citywide decisions, members of wards would vote directly on the issue, but representatives would be randomly selected from each ward to meet with the other representatives to share the majority vote in each ward. When making nationwide decisions, the randomly selected councils of the cities would meet in a face to face meeting with the councils of other cities, to share the majority votes in their cities, and enact the total majority decision. Randomly selected councils would also represent purely the majority vote in diplomatic relations.

[[File:Mutualist.png]] Economic Organization [[File:GE.png]]
O'Langism would have a ' consisting of  '   The workers in these unions would be paid through community subsides and donations. People would be encouraged to, but not required to, donate. In addition to this, a strong level of  would be present (haha pun intended) to ensure that there would be more of a system of helping your neighbors.

[[File:Mutualist.png]] Mutualism or Communism? [[File:Ancom.png]]
The way I see it, the only real difference between mutualism and communism is that one has money (mutualism), and one doesn't (communism). While communism is a good ideology, that I believe could work, I personally support mutualism more, as I think that money makes exchange easy, and allows for a monetary incentive as well as an emotional one. I don't support completely laissez-faire markets, I think that some things (healthcare, education, housing, to name a few) are too important to be left to the market.

[[File:Regulationism.png]] Semi-Planned Markets [[File:Regulationism.png]]
I think that it is important for the community to democratically direct markets through community assemblies, to ensure that there is not overproduction of goods and waste. While I still think that markets are good for distributing goods and allowing people to have access to luxury goods in mass, overproduction is a big issue, and I think the community needs to come together and direct the market to make sure that there is less overproduction. I would sort of take a maybe slightly more laissez-faire  stance to markets I guess.

[[File:Ancom.png]] Why not just get rid of money entirely? [[File:Ancom.png]]
As much as I dislike money as a concept, I think that it's helpful. I think that if devalued and completely overhauled, we could keep the good things about money. For example, there is a certain amount of fulfillment that comes with working hard and saving up your money to get something nice. In addition to this, as much as I despise capitalism, a lot of capitalist corporations to make things I think are cool, that would go away with the abolition of money. For example, (Please don't stone me to death fellow socialists) I enjoy watching Disney movies. I think they're dumb, and entertaining. I'm afraid that abolishing money would make it so that the Disney Co-op in my anarchist vision would be unable/unwilling to make movies. Another example is Musical Instrument corporations, lets take Fender as an example. Profit incentive is a main motive behind developing new instruments/equipment in this corporations, but this can often lead to new guitar designs that are really cool, and sound really good. Same as before, I feel like if money was abolished entirely, these good things that come from markets would not be able to be reinstated. I'm not opposed to abolishing money, I just don't think its the best solution, at least in the short term.

[[File:Prog-u.png]] Societal Organization [[File:Prgess.png]]
O'Langism is a very progressive ideology, supporting '  '   etc.

[[File:Fem.png]] Feminism [[File:Anfem.png]]
O'Langism supports feminism, and feminists, women definitely go through issues that men never will, and vice versa.

[[File:Menslib.png]] Men's Liberation [[File:Menslib.png]]
I support the emotional liberation of men, thinking that men are unfairly held to much stricter societal standards than women, being forced to be emotionally stoic, and succumb to strict social guidelines.

[[File:Gay.png]] LGBTQ+ [[File:SJW.png]]
It is ridiculous in our society how people with sexualities and genders that are not heteronormative are considered inferior. These things are beyond people's control, and completely psychological, and it is ridiculous how our society makes it so that heterosexual is the norm.

[[File:Post-Genderism.png]] The Gender Abolitionism Question [[File:Post-Genderism.png]]
While in theory, gender abolition is good, I have a few problems with it, starting with my own gender identity. I personally identify as male, not as female or non-binary. I don't think of gender itself as an oppressive social construct, I just think we need to reform it so that people can openly identify the way they feel. That is the primary reason I'm against abolishing gender, but in addition to this, humans need to reproduce in order to survive, so therefore abolishing gender may return us to a society purely based on sex, and therefore a more transphobic/exclusionary society. You can ask me questions about this and debate me in the Q&A section.

[[File:Native.png]] Indigenous Liberation [[File:Native.png]]
We need to liberate all indigenous peoples, and dedicate land to tribes, as they were first.

[[File:Globnat.png]] Diplomacy [[File:Globnat.png]]
I think that Alter-Globalization, and cooperation between countries, but the right to self determination and anti colonial nationalism/patriotism is the best way to respect individuality and undue hierarchies. O'Langism considers himself to be Alter-Globalist.

1. Does existence have meaning?
So this is an interesting question. Is there something after death that makes life worth something, is there some divine meaning to life? Being agonistic myself, I'd say that there is no way to truly know. We don't know if life has an external meaning, we don't know if morals are real. I'd say that as far as we know, existence has no meaning, except to live, reproduce, and die. It is possible that there is some divine meaning, but we won't truly know until we've lived, reproduced, and died. While this does technically make me a nihilist, I don't like to use this term, as you will see in the next section.

2. No, but! (a response to #1)
So as I said in the last section, there is no way to truly know if there is external meaning to life until we die. You could say this is an argument for one to live life without morals, to care only about themselves, to believe that there is no meaning to them living, but I would say this is false. The fact that there is no meaning to life means that there is all the meaning to life! We just have to actually work for it. We can't say that our actions are controlled by a deity, so nothing we do matters, and at the same time we can't say that there is no deity, or meaning, so nothing we do matters. We have to live life with morals, we have to create our OWN meaning to life. We have to help others, and we have to make sure that our life has meaning, by positively impacting others, leaving a lasting legacy, so that even it is that the only thing that awaits us is the endless abyss, our actions have still influenced life, our life still has meaning. I agree with Camus that suicide is more absurd than facing the absurd because of this, because killing yourself basically ensures that your life has no meaning, and prevents your life from ever having meaning. Basically, what I'm saying is, existence has no meaning. It's absurd, so therefore, we have to create meaning for ourselves. Life and existence can only have meaning if we create meaning for ourselves, because we don't know what awaits us when we die.

[[File:Synd.png]] Revolution or Reform? [[File:Dsa.png]]
The simple way to put it, is a mix of both. The primary theory behind implementing O'Langism can be summed up as, and land accumulation. Through indirect action, we would reform society to be labor oriented, while simultaneously accumulating land and forming collectives, until enough land has been accumulated for a general strike, causing the government to have to hand control over to the syndicates.

[[File:Illeg.png]] On Illegalism [[File:Illeg.png]]
, as a concept is an interesting idea. From what I know, it embraces the idea of criminality as a lifestyle, so basically, as opposed to starting a revolution to overthrow the state, you kind of just pretend it doesn't exist. As a tactic, I think that NON-VIOLENT crime, such as squatting, or shoplifting, can be a possibly useful way of taking power away from the state, but this shouldn't be a first resort, and definitely shouldn't be a lifestyle.

Based Points Thing
ok so like check off the ones you like and put your score below


 * 1) The idea of the state is unnecessary and hierarchical.
 * 2) We should ally with other anarcho-socialists and not fight over small ideological differences. (Synthesis Anarchism)
 * 3) We should ally for the most part with other socialists of different civic views
 * 4) Worker's unions are a useful tool in establishing socialism
 * 5) Peaceful accumulation of land, similarly to what the Zapatistas are doing in Mexico, is a good tactic in immediately establishing anarchism.
 * 6) Markets are good when regulated and directed
 * 7) Gift economics are based
 * 8) Worker owned cooperatives should make up the economy
 * 9) Violence should always a last result
 * 10) Capitalism is not good

Example: O'Langism (10/10) I agree with all of these points (who would have guessed?!?)


 * (8/10)

Personality and Behaviour
O'Langism is generally a calm ideology, but can get very riled up and angry in arguments. He is nonviolent, and wants a peaceful revolution through a mass strike, but is wiling to use more violent means if necessary.
