Neo-Phibunsongkhram Thought


 *  (ลัทธิพิบูลสงครามยุคใหม่) also known as [[File:SiamNeocon.png]] Siamese Neoconservatism (ลัทธิอนุรักษ์นิยมยุคใหม่), [[File:Thainatlib.png]] National Liberalism with Thai Characteristics (ลัทธิเสรีนิยมแห่งชาติ), or [[File:ThaiNeocon.png]] Revisionary Phibunsongkhram Thought (ลัทธิพิบูลสงครามฉบับปรับปรุง) is an ideology of which is based on the ideas of Thai Nationalism by Marshal Plaek Phibunsongkhram, known as Rattaniyom. Neo-Phibunsongkhram Thought’s ideas of monarchism is based on the moderate form of Thai Royalism known as Chakriism, as it views H.M. King Bhumibol Adulyadej as the hero who rescued Thailand from the red menace since the Cold War. Neo-Phibunsongkhram Thought is the ideology that promotes social conservatism, technological progress, environmental protection, and cultural rejuvenation, in order for Thailand to be truly a civilized and prosperous nation. Neo-Phibunsongkhram Thought’s economic model is based on the ideas of Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich August von Hayek, and Thomas Sowell, whose ideas were centered around free-market capitalism, such as market deregulations, the use of cryptocurrencies, economic liberalization, tax cuts, privatization of utilities and products, or disablement of central government-based welfare in favor of private charities or local government-based welfare. Neo-Phibunsongkhram Thought’s foreign policy advocates for closer relations with other Asian market economies such as India, Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, or the Philippines, and detente with the West, while it seeks hostility with the Eastern dictatorships such as Russia, China, Iran, or DPRK. Neo-Phibunsongkhram Thought supports free trade policy towards Western, Asian, and Third World market economies, while being protectionist towards hostile nations from the East, which results in neo-mercantilism. Neo-Phibunsongkhram Thought opposes certain ideological demagogues such as economic socialists, communists, primitivists, fascists, wokeists, neo-progressive hawks, populists, anarchists, totalitarians, republicans, jihadists, abortion advocates, trumpists, putinists, dengists, and pro-eastern sympathizers.

The Police
 * Neo-Phibunsongkhram Thought is in favor of balancing the funding of the police, as too much unnecessary law enforcements erode an individual’s sovereignity. The police should exist to enforce the law to protect the citizens from having their liberty stripped by criminals and ensure that the NAP will be protected. Local police will have more say in each provinces though.

The Military
 * Neo-Phibunsongkhram Thought supports mildly increasing the funding of the military. Detente with the hostile powers have been shown in history that it doesn’t work, as it allows those hostile powers to bully smaller nations. However, military leaders tend to do more harm in the economy than good, as they don’t have the knowledge in economics. The military will use force to control the state if they are given too much power, resulting in an authoritarian state. It supports maintaining the mandatory conscription, but also deregulation of the conscription laws, meanwhile the disabled should not be conscripted, and the use of the voluntary conscription system like in the US, while encouraging the partial privatization of the military, such as mercenaries or private military contractors, and the use of robots and artificial intelligence. Thailand should have a military of quality, not quantity.

Form of Government
 * Neo-Phibunsongkhram Thought supports the concept of federalism, turning Thailand from 77 provinces into 77 federal states, increasing the states’ autonomy. The central government shouldn’t dictate too much on different provinces. Unitary governmental system is way too authoritarian and bureaucratic for a multi-ethnical country.

Free Speech
 * Neo-Phibunsongkhram Thought is mixed on the concept of free speech. It is necessary for an individual to have freedom to express his or her opinions. However, too much free speech allows extremists and political demagogues such as communists, fascists, wokeists, or national traitors to have a say. In conclusion, the government must fight against these certain ideologies, by using knowledge to disapprove these political theories. Speaking of the Lese-Majeste Law, it is unnecessary because the government should not be treated like an all-correct god, and H.M. King Bhumibol Adulyadej never endorsed this law.

The Monarchy
 * Neo-Phibunsongkhram Thought supports retaining the current monarchy. The monarch is not just a tourist attraction, but also the symbol of Thailand’s national identity. However, it doesn’t support the concept of the Lese-Majeste Law.

Parliamentarianism
 * Neo-Phibunsongkhram Thought is in favor of Parliamentarian System as this system of government is advantageous because it create a friendly relationship between the executive and legislative arm of the government. This is so because, the two arms of the government are not separated. When the legislative and executive arms of the government in a parliamentary system of government are joint together, it is usually faster and quicker for decisions to be made. The fusion of powers makes parliamentary approval of the policies and programmes of government fast, thereby helping quick decision and implementation of government policies and programmes.

Rule of the Best
 * Neo-Phibunsongkhram Thought prefers Aristocracy and Noocracy over Democracy and Autocracy. Why? This form of government intends to give the leadership into the hands of highly-qualified people, which is laudable. It prevents the rise of a single dictator, by distributing power between members of a council. The patronage of the ruling classes has led to the blossoming of arts and culture in historical kingdoms ruled by aristocrats. The less number of leaders involved increases the efficiency of the government, by reducing chances of political deadlocks and disagreements. Ideally, well-intentioned leaders in an aristocracy can do what is best for the country, without getting swayed by public opinion. This form of government is advantageous in cases of military conflict, since it results in a well-organized chain of command.

The Constitution
 * Neo-Phibunsongkhram Thought supports constitutionalism as the separation of power as a concept under constitutionalism ensures that the various organs of the constitution are kept under check so that no one organ encroaches upon the jurisdiction of the other organ. Constitutionalism ensures that the government doesn’t become authoritative. As a result, certain limitations are put upon by either giving rights to the people, like fundamental rights or by placing restrictions on the power of the government. The idea of constitutionalism is taken primarily from the theory of the limited state by John Locke. According to this theory, the state is a creation of a social contract, entered into by a man and thus the state is an instrument for fulfilling the aspiration of the man. Constitutionalism ensures that the state is not encroaching upon the people’s life and liberty and is critical for a liberal polity.

Reform over Revolution
 * Neo-Phibunsongkhram Thought supports Reform, opposed to revolution, as a market economy like Thailand and First World market economies are unnecessary for a bloody revolution, which hurts the populace and the economy in a long term. Revolutions are only necessary against totalitarian governments with command economy like North Korea or Eritrea.

Economic Liberalism
 * Neo-Phibunsongkhram Thought opposes excessive economical regulations, seeing them as stagnative to a thriving market economy (Keynesian Economics have already proven that, such as the US Democratic Party). Economical regulations by a long term only benefits the big businesses more as they lobby with the government for more regulations to crush smaller competitors, because the big corporations can afford the costs, small and medium sized businesses cannot with economic regulations. It is supportive of minimal governmental interference in the economy. People should have the opportunity to start up businesses. The owners and workers should have the rights to freely negotiate in the international and national framework based on the Law of Supply and Demand.

Cryptocurrencies
 * Neo-Phibunsongkhram Thought supports free banking and bringing back the Gold Standard. The Central Banks shouldn’t have a large say in the economics. The Central Bank only defends monopolies, and the fiat currency is a tool for the government to control the economy. It is supportive of the competitive crypto-currencies based on the Gold Standard.

Taxation
 * Taxation is usually a theft, and people shouldn’t pay too high taxes, which can hurt the economy in long term (For example, the Japanese economy, which causes Japan to be one of, if not, the country that suffers population decline the most.) and gives the big government too much of a say. The government should be fiscally responsible so that the country won’t be drown in debt. In short, it supports tax cuts in order to be fiscally responsible without the government wasting taxpayers’ money irresponsibly. The percentage of taxes should be between 10%-15%.

Private Property
 * Neo-Phibunsongkhram Thought views private property as a bulwark to the society. Anyone should have the rights to profit from the land they own, as it’s natural for human beings. In summary, Free Market Economy is necessary for a country to economically thrive. The more freedom to start up businesses, the better the economy is.

Environmentalism
 * Neo-Phibunsongkhram Thought is environmentalist in a propertarian way. Pollution is a violation of the other private properties by one. A polluter will be economically punished in one way or another.

Gun Rights
 * Neo-Phibunsongkhram Thought supports the idea of gun rights. Citizens shouldn’t rely too much on the police to defend themselves from criminals, as sometimes, the police can collude with the crime syndicates which bribe them to erode the freedom of the common people. Gun control only makes criminals easier to kill someone, as they don’t follow the law. However, the minimum age of a gun owner should be 18.

Free Trade
 * Neo-Phibunsongkhram Thought is in favor of Free Trade aka Economic Internationalization. High tariffs and Autarky only hurt the country’s economy than it helps. Autarky can cause economic delay, starvation, and wars. Free Trade allows small countries to gain access on foreign products with higher qualities, and also preserves every nations’ political independence from wars. In order for a country’s economy to be successful, a country should be very permissive on free trade, which allows goods to be exchanged with very few to no restrictions, whether on local, regional, or global levels. It is in favor of free trade with Western, Asian, or Third World market economies for resources that can develop the country’s economy, however, it is protectionist when it comes to trading with hostile nations such as China or Russia, as trading with hostile nations only allow them to be stronger. It is supportive of neo-mercantilism.

Helping the Poor
 * Speaking of free healthcare, I believe it should be the local government’s decision to implement one, not the central government. The poor and ill should be helped in this way, or by private charities.
