Dr. Occoism

Dr. Occoism, or Occoism, is the self-insert ideology of polcompball contributor Dr. Occo.

Dr. Occoism is a serious, yet hilariously uninformed, ideology that inhabits the authoritarian left quadrant. It believes in,  LGBTQ+ rights,  , atheism,  ,   (sometimes), anti-americanism and generally most left-wing ideas. It is against almost everything that is culturally and politically right-wing, especially big business, the 1 per cent,, blind  , bigotry, and the United States of America as a whole. All those ideas, it believes, should be handled by a strong government.

Additionally, Dr. Occoism believes in  and , as it wants to secede from the Federal Republic of Germany and form an independent east-frisian nation (it can't even speak Low German or Sater Frisian), where it would be much easier to form a government that is immune to corruption. Until this happens, so likely for infinity, it's also comfortable with voting in the german elections and trying to make Germany as a whole a better place. It should be noted that its affinity for Independence does not make it eurosceptic.

When it comes to political discourse, Dr. Occoism insists that there is no "objectively right" political view. It loves to argue with it's political enemies instead of banning them, a practice which rarely works out in its favor.

Government system
Dr. Occoism is an ideology, specifically a form of authoritarian liberal democrat. The people of the German or East Frisian state should vote in free, fair and transparent elections, but when a party is elected, it should have much more power than the parties in a typical liberal democracy. Parties that support a non-authoritarian democracy should be banned, same as parties that oppose democracy are in modern germany. Other bans would be on lobbying in politics and party coalitions, the second of these positions was accelerated by the new Traffic Light Coalition, a coalition of three very different parties in Germany, as they don't seem to get anything done at all. The power of the state should be concentrated on a handful of important officials, who need to be the most transparent to avoid corruption in the highest offices. All of those political points are in favor of making government more efficient, as Dr. Occo believes we need a strong, effective government to stop climate change. Authoritarian Democracy is not a core part of Dr. Occoism, but more a means to an end for the man behind the ideology.

Economics
Dr. Occoism is a staunch anti-capitalist, but not a full-on anti-revisionary communist. Capitalism, so it says, is inherently dangerous, as it accelerates inequality, slavery and (more importantly) climate change. Unfortunately, the history of our world shows that socialism often does not work. The land reforms of communist leaders have often lead to displacement and famine, and whenever communism is state program, human rights violations have been rampant, specifically in the Soviet Union, North Korea, China and the GDR. The answers Dr. Occoism provides to those problems are: 1 - Post-WW2 Socialism was almost always implemented in countries with huge socioeconomic problems, often as a result of colonialism. 2 - Most Post-WW2 Socialist countries are antidemocratic. In a democratic system, a socialist government could not just abuse their power without accountability, as they would be voted out. Dr. Occo has not studied socialist theory (although he is planning to), so his understanding of socialism is rather crude and unspecific. This is extremely unfortunate for someone who is a state socialist, but Dr. Occoism also works in the current liberal democracy of Germany. In that system, it is mostly just advocating for individual socialist policies like raising of the minimum wage, taxing the rich and nationalization of key industries.

Environmental Policy
Climate change is the most important political endeavor of the present day. This is not a subjective opinion, it is fact. If we do not halt war, there will be deaths. If we do not halt economic inequality, people will be miserable. But if we do not halt climate change, we basically hit the big red button that says: "DESTROY THE WHOLE EARTH", and that is way worse than anything else. Recent politics have shown that liberal solutions to climate change do not work. Individual people will almost always forget their environmentalist principles as fast as they adopted them, because they don't want to ride their bicycle, or live next to a wind turbine. Basically, many individual people want all of the benefits of environmentalism, but none of the costs. And big companies will never stop just following the money, even if that destroys our planet. So, Dr. Occoism advocates for heavy regulation of every aspect of society, high taxation of greenhouse gases and governmental support for renewable energies. Private people need to give up the commodities of life which are worst for the environment, and big business needs to abandon the principles of capitalism, which harm the environment by rewarding reckless, polluting greed. Also, the goal of saving the environment must be made through a combination of Bioregionalism and Alter-Globalism. Global markets, which are environmentally terrible because of shipping, must be weakened, and regional self-sustainability must be championed. In this, the whole world needs to work together. China, the US and the EU need to all cooperate, along with all other countries, to make the global trade that needs to happen more environmentally friendly.

Social Justice
Dr. Occoism is a hardline progressive ideology. It supports LGBT+ rights, feminism and anti-racism. Abortions, so it believes, should be always readily available without any conditions. Frankly, what a woman does to her body is absolutely not the governments business. On LGBT+ issues, it believes that gay marriage should be completely equal to straight marriage, and changing one's legal gender should be as easy as the situation allows, although medically transitioning should remain difficult, as it is a very big and not easily reversable decision that needs to be very heavily disputed between the trans individual, optionally their parents and the medical and psychological professionals. Dr. Occoism supports affirmative action, although it doesn't see as much need for it in Germany as there is in the US. If there is any injustice between skin colours, genders and sexualities, it must be eliminated.

Justice
Dr. Occoism thinks that the Justice System should be used not to punish misdeeds, but to reintegrate criminals into society. On this topic, it looks up to the scandinavian justice systems. Criminals should not be radicalized through hard conditions in uncomfortable prisons, but be shown how their life can change for the better. Most crime is not planned by evil manipulators in the shadows, but a spur-of-the-moment decision, and the

Personality
This ideologyball is mostly portrayed as a depressed, complaining, self-important and quick to anger pseudointellectual who likes his armchair and his books.

Neutral/Unsure

 * [[File:Sec.png]] - I mean, I am kind of an authoritarian, but I'm not a fan of most other authoritarians. This is complicated, and the broadness of this ideology doesn't help with that.
 * [[File:Statecap.png]] - I like state-owned businesses, but isn't this a very dumb way to do that? Also, you should treat your workers better.
 * [[File:Nation.png]] - Pride in one's country is cool, but you can often give rise to [[File:Ultranat.png]]  and others like him.

 * [[File:Bhl.png]] - Same as above. You could be so great, but no, you decided to become a Lolbert.

 * [[File:Libertfem.png]] - I like feminism, and you're not even close to the worst feminists, but still. Libertarianism does not pass the test.
 * [[File:Confem-alt.png]] - Same as the last one, but with Conservatism. Therefore, a bit worse. Still not nearly as bad as [[File:Radfem.png]]  or [[File:Nazfem.png]]  though.

 * [[File:Glibr.png]] [[File:Bertenvi.png]] - Free Markets are the one thing that hinders environmentalist causes! I don't get you! Still, your environmentalism is based.
 * [[File:Ecocap.png]] - This is a joke. Crapitalism is bad for the environment, and you simply can not change that.
 * [[File:Eccon.png]] - Based for a conservative. Still a conservative, though! Also, conservatism and environmentalism are pretty much impossible to unite with one another.
 * [[File:Ecofash.png]] - You get stuff done! Which is good for the environment, but bad for literally everything else.
 * [[File:Natprim.png]] - Basically North Korea. Anyways, you are amazing for the environment, but not so amazing for everything else. Kind of like Eco-Fascism on steroids.
 * [[File:Conservative.png]] - We are ideological enemies, but I can accept you. After all, democracy wouldn't be democracy without different viewpoints. This only applies to moderate conservatives though!
 * [[File:Ocoo.png]] - Note: This does not apply to American """Conservatism""", which is really Paleoconservatism.
 * [[File:Progconf.png]] - Conservatism mixed with Progressivism. Weird, but good enough. The CDU mostly used this under Merkel.
 * [[File:AntiDem.png]] Anti-Democracy - I get why you're frustrated, but Jesus, cool it down. Democracy may not be the most effective thing in the world, but it has its merits.
 * [[File:Anticommunism2.png]] Anti-Communism - Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, they all are terrible. I understand why communism doesn't have the best reputation. But I get the distinct impression that you're just a shameless partisan, and I do not like anti-leftist partisan nuts.
 * [[File:Bism.png]] - Bismarck was an impressive man, and did many great things, and many of his flaws are a product of their time. BUT he was a monarchist, colonialist and warmonger, and I do not like that.
 * [[File:Eugen.png]] - Eugenicism for thee, but not for me, because I'm autistic. WHAT DO YOU MEAN I DON'T GET TO CHOOSE THAT?
 * [[File:Res_Publica.png]] - Your aesthetics are still unbeaten to this day, and your system of government was surprisingly forward-thinking, but the slavery and other stuff like it always sour the experience.
 * [[File:GerSPD.png]] - You are not really leftist anymore, and it's completely insane you let  get to be our chancellor. To be fair, the real socdems that are left in your party are fine.
 * [[File:Ormarxf.png]] - Until I've actually read Marx, this has to be placed on the backburner. I only know what I saw online, and the internet is very untrustworthy.
 * [[File:Libsoc.png]] - We can agree on Socialism, and I get why you don't trust Authoritarians. We can stand together against the conservatives, but after that it gets difficult.
 * [[File:Esosoc.png]] - You were mostly used not as an actual ideology, but by crazy conspiracy theorists to discredit the whole left, but now they use "Cultural Marxism", so you're very irrelevant now.
 * [[File:Frankfurt.png]] - You are mostly used by conspiracy theorists and nazis to discredit the whole left, which is a shame. I don't really know much about your real philosophy, though.
 * [[File:Posadist.png]] and [[File:Biopos.png]]  - Funny haha End Of The World Communism! We will all go together when we go...
 * [[File:Ocoo.png]] - Oh god, I'm turning into [[File:Kak-Dunce.png]] !
 * [[File:Consocf.png]] - Socialism with conservative characteristics would be fine, but those conservative characteristics are almost certainly "judeo-christian values", "the family", and other bigoted bullshit.
 * [[File:Communalist.png]] - Way too over-the-top, as expected from a fictional ideology, but kinda based.
 * [[File:Relsoc.png]] - I personally dislike religiosity, and I am in absolute and unflinching favor of separation of church and state. The Socialism in your ideology is good, though.
 * [[File:Utsoc.png]] - I am a pragmatic, therefore I can't stand this one. Focus needs to be firmly on the present and near future. And actually talking about means instead of just ends is essential.
 * [[File:LeftCom.png]] - All you do is complain, you draw an arbitrary line between good AuthLeft revolutionary and bad AuthLeft revolutionary, and you're against democracy! I like some of your points, but you're mostly just an annoying know-it-all.
 * [[File:Orthlen.png]] - The revolution against the bourgeoisie and the Tsar was absolutely necessary, but everything that happened after was kind of rubbish. From waging fights against the Mensheviks, Nestor Makhno and the Black Army, the Green Army, and your own workers who you claimed to protect, to giving rise to Stalin through bad governance, it was all rubbish.
 * [[File:Hoxha.png]] - AuthLeft Isolationism is based, but why do you need to be a Stalin Simp and a Super-Extremist?
 * [[File:Chavismo.png]] - Wow, you fell off.
 * [[File:Islamic_Socialism.png]] - For some reason, you keep dropping the ball right into a puddle of oil. And that oil then gets lit and burns the ball. And then the ball gets drone striked.
 * [[File:Lpop.png]] - Populism mostly consists of lies for stupid people, easy answers to complex problems, and stuff like that. I don't like it. Sometimes you make good points though.

 * [[File:Hfash.png]] - You would be funny if people like Röhm and Kühnen didn't actually exist.

 * [[File:ML.png]] - The Soviet Union was a mistake.
 * [[File:Mao.png]] - How exactly does an artificial famine help the proletariat? How exactly does killing sparrows, thereby causing a plague of insects, help the people? You are a giant idiot!
 * [[File:Juche.png]] - I don't care that you are communist. I don't care that you are good for the environment. You are a tyrannical dictator, and you need to get away from that red button!
 * [[File:Polpot.png]] - You maniac! Why did you kill all these people? Smart people are not the problem, the opposite is true! You even killed fellow communists! I'm so glad the Vietnamese kicked your butt!
 * [[File:XiJinpingThoughtf.png]] - I don't know why everyone acts like you are the pinnacle of communism. Aren't you more AuthCenter than AuthLeft? Anyways, STOP DOING GENOCIDE AND EUGENICS, YOU MANIAC! FREE TIBET, JUSTICE FOR THE UIGHURS! ALSO STOP BUYING OUR HARBORS!

 * [[File:Altl.png]] - You are not funny, you lie, and you incite violence. All in all, you're a disgusting, dishonest and dumb little gremlin.
 * [[File:Altr.png]] - A poor, sad, pathetic little man-child, who thinks being a violent Nazi will solve all his problems. I pity you, but I also find you deeply disgusting. REMEMBER CLUB Q!
 * [[File:Ego.png]] and [[File:Anpostleft.png]]  - Being edgy is not a valid political ideology! It seems r/Iam14andthisisdeep is leaking into politics.
 * [[File:Mutualist.png]] - You are absolutely blinded by your ideals. Neither markets nor Anarchism really work when united with Socialism. Your utopia can not come true, and you won't admit it because your utopia is the only thing you have.
 * [[File:Soul.png]] - Not another god damn utopian! And you think one can abolish the laws of physics? Man, you really are high.
 * [[File:Yellsoc.png]] - What about this is socialism? Culturally right-wing and economically lib-centre. So basically, Anarcho-Liberalism. I hate it.

 * [[File:CDU_Party.png]] [[File:CDUtangle.png]] - After sixteen years, Germany is finally free from your Status Quo conserving, boring and frustrating governance, and now you become increasingly more right-wing in an already failed attempt to take voters from [[File:Alternative_for_germany_ball.png]] .
