American Scarletism

American Scarletism is an economically center-left, culturally center, civically center version of implemented in America. Unlike the original ideology, American Scarletism is a watered down product of said ideology

Differences Between This and Novoscarletism
Well, there are a few notable differences. One of which is how this is more economically moderate, due to the circumstances of America not really allowing socialism to rise, another one is how this variant would be far more revolutionary than even his original ideology. And lastly, how said ideology would have more hardcore rhetoric

Planned or Market
American Scarletism is less regulationist than Novoscarletism, due to the nature of the region, but is still opposed to neoliberal deregulation and believes that some essential sectors are too important to be left to the market, and there would still be increased regulations to stop shady practices

Cooperatives
He would begin promoting worker cooperatives, seeing them as both more ethical structurally speaking, and having a higher survival rate. There would still be guilds which would be supported in order to keep common industry united, but there would be more competition and non-guild businesses tolerated

Trust Busting
America is in serious need of trust busting, now, and fast. Immense trust busting laws would be implemented, breaking up big businesses, and then forming smaller cooperatives, seeing them as both more ethical and more in-tact with the traditions of America. A serious issue we face is that they are too influential. Some (like SpaceX) may be incorporated into larger aspects of the nation (NASA) with the old owner out of the question (and all these newly founded cooperatives tied to a guild), but those who don’t serve any huge purpose will be broken up. In a sense, I support an economy based on small businesses and cooperatives

New Company Regulations
There would be new regulations to ensure a new America based off of economic ethicality and prosperity, with those being that:

1: by a certain year, cooperatives should make up most of the economy

2; even in non-cooperative businesses, workers must be treated well

3: cooperatives would be given more benefits, such as more promotion and tax breaks

4: there will be a high corporate tax

5: all companies must take part in ethical practices, anything that would harm a consumer would be punished

6: there can’t be corporate influence in essential services such as utilities, healthcare, and education

Housing
We have a housing crisis in some areas that must be addressed. In addition, landlords make property in the hands of the few rather than that of the many. As such, I would abolish property tax, implement LVT and then outlaw landlordism as a whole once it’s safe to do so. Said LVT would increase annually for those who refuse to give up extra houses they own and refuse to give properties to those in need

Billionaires
Don’t spare a single one of them. Force them to stay in the country, and then seize them and their assets. They’re inherently exploitative and must be ridded of.

Welfare
I believe that a welfare program would be good for those in need, provided that they are genuinely struggling. Those able to work yet refuse won’t receive such benefits, but those employed or disabled would receive welfare

Banking
Mutually owned banks would create a sense of community, and mutual support in times of need, so most banks should be cooperatives

Healthcare
America has the worst healthcare system of any first world country. As such, I support a state-based universal public healthcare system that is financed through general tax revenue and a government levy. The fact that healthcare is commodified is sickening, and one shouldn’t have to pay for basic needs to live. However, one who is responsible for their own injuries will have to pay as a consequence of not looking after their own health, those being: drinkers, smokers, overeaters, and the unvaccinated

Education
Knowledge is important and one should be able to get an education and go to the school of their choice. A voucher would be given which would allow one to go to any school they please

Overall Consensus on the Culture War
I have my stances, but the culture war overall is a tool to prevent people from being conscious about real issues

Overall
I believe that many American traditions are what make us as a nation great and they must be preserved, but we should also progress in order to make our nation more prosperous.

Abortion
Morally wrong but the current climate is so bad that banning it would introduce underground abortions. Implement paid leave and child care, and then ban it.

LGBT
Legally protect same sex marriage, but allow religious organizations to decline such services and ban discussion of gender and sexual orientation in schools (positive or negative). Allow transitioning nationwide but only if one is an adult and it is ensured that said dysphoria is genuine. I’m still against pride though

Natives
I oppose landback and other similar concepts, but they’ve been disadvantaged for long enough. I believe they should have high cultural autonomy and be excluded from integration (apart from adopting the national identity). In addition we should improve conditions for them.

Police Brutality
Just because I’m against intersectionality doesn’t mean that police brutality isn’t a problem. We need to reform the police. Police abolitionists/defunders and those who act like there’s nothing wrong with the police as is are idiotic.

Religion
America is a secular nation, and our founding fathers intended on it to be that way. I believe in freedom of worship and don’t agree with the religious nationalism of a lot of the right

Gun Rights
I support the 2nd Amendment and the right to self defense, and I believe that hunting is a large part of several subcultures in America (including that of the writer). However there are definitely issues we face involving firearms. I believe we should close off any existing loopholes, and one must be trained properly, can’t have a criminal record, and must be mentally fit in order to possess a firearm

Environmentalism
We are in such a bad spot involving the environment, and it’s important that we act now and fast. We must play a large role in fighting climate change. We must enhance nuclear and green energy, spearhead such a campaign worldwide, and encourage other countries to do so. However I support leaving the Paris Agreement, but only until other countries are held to the same standards
