Ego-Progressivism

Ego-Progressivism is the current of thought followed and created by Io it essentially seeks to combine traditional Ego-Communism with Ultraprogressivism, viewing the struggle for gender, race and sexual liberation should be seen as one about individual sovereignty and thus an truly egoistic cause.

The Unique and its Identity
Each individual is the owner and the creator of its own life, of its own world and its own identity, from the creative nothing all else stems and thus it is the creative nothing should seek to follow its own cause and to own all which it creates, the individual is thus the center of their own world, but it is not alone, society and numeral other "things" seek to oppress and chain to individual to its cause, making the individual labor not for himself but for "God" or "Mankind" or the "Proletariat" that is of course, an attack on the individual, it should seek its own liberation and fight for freedom as that is its own cause, that is the cause of Ego-Progressive, itself, so in the name of itself it should seek to combat the fixed ideas that try to chain them, Ego-Progressivism as an ideology believes that the individual is always in a struggle, the struggle between the creative nothing and all else outside, and that the good life, if that is what they seek, can be found in that struggle, as such Ego-Progressivism opposes all that which tries to put the individual in a box and decide its identity for itself, conservatism, religion, and humanism as such are all ideas opposed by Ego-Progressivism. And so from this conflict society organizes itself, a complex web of social contracts is made as individuals fight for their own cause while other causes are created that seek to subjugate them.

The Ideal and the Real
As the creative nothing is that which creates everything to claim that there is a concrete reality, objective and knowable is rejected by Ego-Progressivism, as reality varies from the perspective of the individual, as the individual perspective is the only perspective the individual can have and thus create its reality around it, but each individual is different, with different experiences and different perspective, and all those realities are absolute to the own individual but not to anyone else.

Why Oppose Conservatism
Ego-Progressivism views conservatism as its main enemy, as it is conservatism and conservative thought that tries to chain the individual to whatever society expects of them rather allowing them to be liberated and fight for their own cause, the main believe of Ego-Progressivism is that individuals can do as they want and live their life true to themselves and conservatism punishes the individual for it, believing that each individual should dedicate itself to the cause of society, or order, or tradition rather than themselves and seeks destroy all that stands by itself.

Identity and Tribalism
Identity is a two-pronged sword however, and while it is important to the individual it can also be used a tool, to make the individual follow its identity and exist as part of a "tribe", identity should be a tool of the individual used to further its own cause, but a consequence of conservative thinking is tribalism, the belief that the individual should exist for its identity and serve it, thus being part of a tribe and dedicating itself to that tribe, this chains the individual and prevents it from fighting for its own cause, Ego-Progressivism rejects all forms of tribalism, while believing that people of similar identities are in ways connected, they should never let that connection chain them and define them, thus Ego-Progressivism believes that to liberate a given identity isn't enough for the individual cause, but liberating the individual from its tribe and allowing people to be people separate from all other fixed ideas or "spooks" is total liberation.

To Fight for a Cause
The Individual, if it seeks to further its own cause, needs to fight for it, the world is in constant struggle between different causes, and if the individual seeks its total liberation it must too fight, fight against the ideas of authority, conservatism and whatever else chains the individual, Ego-Progressivism then claims that for the individual to achieve its total liberation it must abolish that which chains it, Ego-Progressivism aims for the elimination of the state, of race, of gender, of sexuality and whatever else, and this must be done by always fighting against this systems, existing in constant insurrection not letting yourself be governed, but Ego-Progressivism seeks pragmatism too, as to better achieve its total liberation the individual should seek clever ways to better its own condition, and engage in methods that could reduce the harm they feel, such as voting or fighting to change its society to a form that is better for the individual, even if not perfect.
