Karmaxylism

Hello, welcome to my ideological page! My ideology is Karmaxylism, it is economically center-left, civically  statist,  democratic,  culturally left, and  nationalist.

= Beliefs =

[[File:Kemal.png]] TL;DR
I'm a left-wing nationalist and social democrat. I seek to create a rational society that is based on scientific progress over moral dogmas like religion and traditional ways of thinking. I'm strongly opposed to globalist, conservative, anarchist, theocratic, monarchist, and imperialist ideologies. I guess you could call my ideology American Kemalism, since it gets heavy inspiration from Kemalist ideologies.

[[File:Statist.png]] Statism
The state is important for achieving progressive goals, and therefore should be big enough for such. Although, I oppose authoritarianism since I consider it excessive, people should be (mostly) left alone when they aren't directly infringing on other people's rights by the government.

[[File:Scientocracy Small.png]] Evidence-Based Policy
I support an evidence-based policy were experts inform public decision making, this is the best way to make sure our leadership is based on reason instead of pointless dogmas.

[[File:Dem.png]] Democracy
I support a democratic government since the will of the people is important. Although, there would be some restrictions on political rights, but not to the point of an authoritarian democracy, and this would only be in specific cases. Outside of that, the people will be given suffrage to elect their leaders.

[[File:Lpop.png]] Populism
I would use populist rhetoric to get our points across in government, these populist messages would be use to spread left-wing messages. This would obviously make me a left-wing populist.

[[File:Republicanismpix.png]] Republicanism
I support a democratic republic and support monarchist abolitionment in countries were monarchies are located. Whether it be ceremonial or constitutional, monarchs are a sign of the past and have nothing in common with the working class.

[[File:DemCentral.png]] Democratic Centralism
Democratic centralism is how my political party would be organized to prevent power struggles and better organize our political party for decision making.

[[File:Parl.png]] Parliamentarism
A parliamentary democracy would be put into place for how our government operates. The parliament itself would be a bicameral legislature.

[[File:Laicism.png]] Laicism
I support a laicist state, religion should have minimal role in both government and society. I'll touch on that later in my cultural section, but for now I'll just keep this to government. Religious references would be removed, cultural icons would be secularized, our school system would teach scientific facts over religious dogmas, and if you are religious you would have to run on a secular platform to be able to get into and hold a position in government.

[[File:Welf.png]] Welfare
I support the welfare state and its expansive to enfranchise the poor, the elites have trampled on the working men and women long enough and it's time they get a taste of their own medicine. These welfare provisions would include things like: elderly care, disability care, healthcare, ect. The welfare state would be universal in its application.

[[File:Social corpratism.png]] Corporatism
The state should guide the economy and market to produce what it needs and to protect workers rights. This brand of corporatism is welfarist and democratic, making it social corporatism.

[[File:Property.png]] Property
I support private property ownership and intellectual rights. You should be allowed to do what you want with your own property for the most part, I also support property taxes and landlords, but tenet unions should still play a role in managing labor rights for those who work in that field of employment.

[[File:Tax.png]] Taxation
There's gonna be a decent amount of taxation to uphold all of these social services for the population, at least 40% of earned income would have to be taxed. These taxes would be even higher for the top 1% and taxation would be progressive.

[[File:SyndieSam.png]] Trade Unions
Trade unions would play a critical role in collective bargaining, so the workforce has to be unionized for the corporatist economy to work. Union membership should be written into job contracts and union membership encouraged.

[[File:Dirigisme.png]] Dirigisme
My economic regulations would be considered dirigisme, which is a form of state capitalism which the government plays a key role in managing sectors the economy through government owned enterprises to correct market failures which are found in the market. These state-owned businesses would serve along side the unions to make economic tripartite much easier.

[[File:Envi.png]] Environmental Protections
There would be numerous environmental protections in place, such as carbon emission taxes. The wealthy are the biggest contributor to global warming, so it's better to target them than the average person.

[[File:Prog-u.png]] Progressivism
I'm pretty socially progressive. I believe traditions on their own are irrational and only hold back society. While at the same time, I support actual progress, not intersectional oppression olympics. I may sound conservative in this regard, but I support progress based off of rationality and science, not on culture, and in this regard I am culturally left-wing.

[[File:CapAnti Clerical.png]] Religion
I'm a huge secularist and anti-clericalist. And while not on the level of state atheism, I still want religious influence and their institutions to be a thing of the past. Religions are a roadblock to progress and are irrational, therefore they are bad societal influence. This would be achieved by: putting restrictions on religious clothing in public spaces, taxing religious institutions, abolishing religious schools, mandating the teaching of scientific materialism to students, and socially discouraging the spread of religion. Although, religion itself would still be legal to practice, given you aren't promoting extremism or cultism.

[[File:Sexocracy.png]] Pornography and Prostitution
While I'm not a fan of porn, I don't believe it should be illegal so long as it's consenting adults, since there is no practical way of trying to restrict it even if you tried. Kinks and fetishes should be allowed but only in private between consenting adults. However, prostitution is inherently reactionary since it involves more exploitation that is a result of capitalist commodification, and should be illegal.

[[File:Indiv.png]] Individualism or Collectivism [[File:Col.png]]
I think both have their needs for the betterment of society. My issue with individualism is it breads selfishness and unhealthy habits which are bad for society, while collectivism is too restraining on the individual. I support civil liberties, but paternalism is needed were it is, so a healthy balance of individualism and collectivism is necessary to uphold the good of society. Selfish behavior should be socially discouraged (but not banned by the government) while acts of selflessness are rewarded by the community to encourage good behavior.

[[File:NarcLib.png]] Drugs
I support limited drug decriminalized, but most drugs should remain illegal. I'm opposed to drugs for their destructive effects on society and individuals, although I will admit the drug war on harmless drugs like Weed has been bad and I do not support it.

[[File:PolState.png]] Criminal Justice
We need a strong police force to secure our country, I'm opposed to defunding the police and support the police being militarized to a necessary degree. Despite this, I don't support police brutality, and think that there is room for reform. Also, on the death penalty, I believe that it should be used in only cases were there is beyond shadow of a doubt that the criminal is guilty and has committed a horrible crime, but in most instances the death penalty should not be used. I support a mixture of punitive and rehabilitative justice.

[[File:Gay.png]] LGBT Rights [[File:Trans.png]]
I support same-sex marriage for gay couples, and gender reaffirming surgery for transgender individuals. I don't see why they shouldn't be given the same legal rights, especially whenever they've been the scapegoat of religious people. So, I think protecting their rights is important. However, there are only two genders, I'm not transphobic for saying that because I still support their right to legally change their gender and all the other legal rights heterosexual people have in regards to adopting, discrimination, ect.

[[File:Fem.png]] Women's Rights
I'm a firm supporter of gender equality and self-identify as a feminist. Both genders will be liberated and be given the same legal rights. Cope and seethe reactionary feudalists, women and men will be equal to each other.

[[File:Pro-ChoiceRemade.png]] Abortion
I'm pro-choice and support abortion being legal. Abortion is apart of women's rights so I naturally support it since a fetus is not developed and does not exceed the right of a mother. Abortion would be made legal and free under a universal healthcare system.

[[File:OOTS.png]] Euthanasia
I don't have an issue with Euthanasia, and support its legalization. However, I do recognize the issues relating to euthanasia, and oppose permissive euthanasia laws. But, if someone wants to end their own life with a good reason, they should be allowed to do so since it doesn't make since to let them bear the cost of society and suffer if they choose not to.

[[File:Anti-Racism.png]] Race
Racism is stupid, no one should be treated differently because of the amount of melanin in their skin, the concept of race is not a scientifically proven thing to exist. It is merely a social construct we use to describe people, all races will be treated the same and racism should be looked down upon harshly since it is irrational. However, I oppose concepts like intersectionality and affirmative action for being reverse discrimination, which is bad no matter if it's against black or white people.

[[File:FreeSpeak.png]] Freedom of Speech
Freedom of speech is a bit tricky, while I do support the concept of free speech in-general it can be hard to define what actually constitutes as "free speech". Therefore, restrictions on freedom of speech can be put into place for reasons I mentioned on this page.

[[File:Transh.png]] Technology
While I don't identify as a transhumanist, I still am progressive in this regard and support the development of technology. Technology is what has allowed us humans to develop our civilization, and accelerating that will lead to prosperity. And if we do reach the point were transhumanism is possible, it should be entirely voluntary.

[[File:Leftnat.png]] Left-Wing American Nationalism [[File:AmericanNat.png]]
I'm an American left-wing national progressive. Nationalism is necessary for resisting imperial powers and societal stability. The rise of nationalism is good, and needs to happen for the fall of the neoliberal status quo. Despite this, I completely condone all forms of racial, ethnic, imperial, ultranationalist, and other toxic forms of nationalism.

[[File:Isolation.png]] Non-Interventionism
I'd stay away from most regional alliances and international organizations, since the needs of our country should come first. Despite this, I still support a degree of international co-operation when it benefits our country, but no regional alliances or economic unions.

[[File:Strato-Antifurry.png]] Military
The military should be big enough for national defense to protect ourselves from imperial aggressors, but shouldn't be too militarized during times of peace. However, we will at least require 3.5% of our GDP go to it.

[[File:Internat.png]] Foreign Aid
Foreign aid isn't effective at helping developing countries since a lot of that money just goes to corrupt dictators anyways. Therefore, I do not support foreign aid and believe it's a waste of money that the tax payer shouldn't have to pay for. While I don't support completely draining our foreign aid budget, the amount of money we give in foreign aid should be drastically reduced.

[[File:Pannat.png]] Pan-Nationalism & International Co-operation [[File:Globnat.png]]
Despite being quite nationalistic, this doesn't mean I don't support international co-operation with other like minded countries to secure our cause. So long as such co-operation doesn't interfere with our self-determination, I'm all for co-operating with other states to achieve goals we ourselves couldn't normally achieve. My specific brand of nationalism incorporates pan-nationalism into it for anti-colonial reasons, it's important we work together to cleanse this world of imperial aggressors. However, I do not support international organizations like the United Nations, I believe said co-operation would have to come from personal unions made between countries to integrate their political systems and economies into each other.

[[File:Cball-UN.png]] United Nations
The United Nations is an ineffective and corrupt system that is a tool of major corporations and world powers, this can be seen with the debt-trapping the IMF does or how the world health organization is heavily influenced by the Chinese government. I support America withdrawing from this organizations and oppose using our money to aid the organization for things like peace keeping missions. For the same reason, I reject things like a world government if it wasn't obvious.

[[File:Antiwest.png]] Anti-Westernism and Anti-Easternism [[File:Antieast.png]]
While I consider the powers of the east to be slightly better than the powers of the west, this does not mean I will apologize for their imperialism since they are as guilty of imperialist actions as much as the west is. This means I pursue a policy of non-alignment and try to get other countries to join the non-align movement.

[[File:Zio.png]] Israel [[File:Hamas.png]]
I don't support Israel or Palestine, quite frankly this is none of our business and I could care less who comes out on top. The only thing I will say is that we should be in no way sending non-essential foreign aid to Israel since we need to have more of our resources at home.

[[File:Euroscept.png]] Euroskepticism
I do not like the European Union, from it's neoliberal policies, debt trapping, neo-colonalism, the European Union either needs to be reformed to be more left-wing or disbanded. I won't deny the European Union has been good at keeping peace between its member states, and I don't think the EU as an alliance is inherently a bad idea, but the way its currently being done is not good.

[[File:Cultural Nationalism.png]] Immigration
Immigration should be tightly controlled and immigrants should have to assimilate in our country. While some local diversity and indigenous cultures are ok and wouldn't be forcibly assimilated, any immigrant would be required to have citizenship here.

[[File:AntiNATO.png]] NATO
I support the dissolvement of NATO as an alliance, it is far beyond reform and has contributed to spread of neoliberal capitalism and enslavement of third world countries through ideological spreading. This neo-colonalist alliance must go, and I strongly oppose it.
