Beliefs
Economics

[[File:Welf.png]] UBI [[File:Welf.png]]
I believe in a universal basic income of 1000$ per month to help combat unemployment and poverty.

[[File:Marketsoc.png]] Marcora Law [[File:Marketsoc.png]]
I used to believe in fully democratizing the economy, but I've realized that would be impossible to implement in America. So what I believe is this: Unemployed workers can use their entire alloted amount of unemployment payment to create a worker co-op, thus both promoting workplace democracy and lowering employment.

[[File:Trustbust.png]] Anti-Trust Legislation [[File:Trustbust.png]]
Corporations are exploitive and have too much power nowadays, we need to restrict them as much as possible.

[[File:Welf.png]] Healthcare [[File:Welf.png]]
Healthcare is a human right, And I want to have Denmark-esque free healthcare.

[[File:Synd.png]] Unions [[File:Synd.png]]
Workers have the right to organize, and shouldn't be stopped from doing so. As shown above unions are an important part of transitioning to market socialism.

[[File:Guildsoc.png]] Guilds [[File:Guildsoc.png]]
Businesses would be organized by guilds. Guilds would be used for people of the same trade to have discussion and collaboration with their peers. Additionally, guilds would collaborate with consumers to choose the right decisions. This would make a well-organized and efficient economy.

[[File:Libsoc.png]] Local Planning [[File:Libsoc.png]]
Despite mainly believing in a free market, I believe that in certain emergencies and other situations where there is a lack of resources there could be local, decentralized planning similar to Rojava to distribute resources.

[[File:Regulationism.png]] Tax Policy [[File:Regulationism.png]]
The taxes I want are:

Land value tax. A lot of land is used wastefully and monopolized by the rich. This is why an LVT is necessary to punish and discourage such acts. Plus, in the places it's been tried, it's proven as quite sucessful. For example, Singapore has an LVT, and is rated as the second happiest country in the world.

Wealth tax. A lot of individual accumulate way too much capital, so who cares if we take some of it?

Severance tax. removal of natural resources is a huge problem.

Inheritance tax. Not on average people, but on the rich who don't have to work for their success because they were born into a rich family.

And finally, corporate tax.

[[File:Markets.png]] Trade [[File:Markets.png]]
I generally am pro-free trade, although I want to avoid trading with authoritarian countries, or exploitive forms of trading. Government

[[File:Semidirect.png]] Government system [[File:Semidirect.png]]
So basically, my ideal system would be american democracy, but without the electoral college, and having an extra feature: people's councils. Basically, there would be local councils that anyone can attend. These councils would discuss policies that are considered getting passed, And if there are enough councils throughout the country that have agreed that the policy is bad, they can keep it from getting passed.

[[File:Reform.png]] Reforming American Democracy [[File:Cball-US.png]]
I want to reform american democracy to fight corruption, primarily abolishing the electoral college.

[[File:DefDem.png]] Defensive Democracy [[File:DefDem.png]]
If a party wants to abolish our democracy, they shouldn't be included in it.

[[File:Merit.png]] Civil Service Reform [[File:Merit.png]]
I want reforms to fight corruption and promote the merit system.

[[File:Civlibert.png]] Free Speech [[File:Civlibert.png]]
Free speech is very important. Even if someone is saying something bigoted, they still should be allowed to say that.

[[File:GRights.png]] Guns [[File:GRights.png]]
I'm pro-gun, banning guns won't stop criminals from using them, and doesn't do a lot besides keep law-abiding citizens from defending themselves. However, we still need some regulations, like strong background checks, gun training, and not being allowed to carry guns in public, and the main reason that America has so much gun violence is because it needs more laws like what I just said. (To prove my point, Switzerland also has lax gun laws and hasn't had a mass shooting since 2001, because it does have more regulations like what I said above.

The World

[[File:Isolationist.png]] Foreign Policy [[File:Necon.png]]
I'm a borderline isolationist, although not completely. I think that intervening in other countries usually leads to harm than good.

[[File:Multicult.png]] Immigration [[File:Multicult.png]]
I think we should have strong border control, but that doesn't mean i'm anti-immigration. Immigration is generally a positive, but we just need to make sure that the wrong people aren't crossing our border.

[[File:Strato.png]] Military [[File:Strato.png]]
The American government spends way too much on the military, but we should still have a strong military in case of a war.

[[File:World_Federalism2.png]] World Confederacy [[File:Confed.png]]
While moderately nationalist in the short term, in the long term I support a world confederacy. This differs from world federalism because the nations all have as much autonomy as they normally would, except that every nation is united by a pact of some sorts, and all share the same government system. Plus, since this would probably be somewhere in the far future, If we got in war with another planet, we would fight as one united nation.

[[File:Cball-NATO.png]] NATO [[File:Cball-NATO.png]]
NATO is a legal terrorist group that should've been abolished after the cold war.

[[File:Cball-UN.png]] UN [[File:Cball-UN.png]]
The UN does barely anything, however I don't see any reason why we should withdraw from it.

[[File:European_Federalism.png]] EU [[File:European_Federalism.png]]
I don't really know much about the EU.

[[File:Cball-China.png]] China [[File:Cball-China.png]]
The Republic Of China is the only legitimate China.

[[File:Cball-Russia.png]] Russia And Ukraine [[File:Cball-Ukraine.png]]
Fuck Putin and his jingoist kleptocracy, the war is completely unjust. However, that doesn't justify NATO taking advantage of the situation.

Social Issues

[[File:Gay.png]] LGBT [[File:Gay.png]]
I mean, they aren't hurting anyone so who gives a shit? You have to be 18 to take hormones though.

[[File:Acidcomf.png]] Drugs [[File:Acidcomf.png]]
I support the legalization of soft drugs and decriminalization of hard ones.

[[File:Egirl.png]] Prostitution [[File:Egirl.png]]
Nordic model approach.

[[File:Fem.png]] Gender [[File:Menslib.png]]
all genders are equals. modern-day feminism is meh though.

[[File:Mat.png]] Abortion [[File:Mat.png]]
Depends entirely on the situation.

[[File:Racenat.png]] Race [[File:Racenat.png]]
All races are equal, although I oppose affirmative action.

[[File:Cball-CSA.png]] Confederate Monuments [[File:Cball-CSA.png]]
How is this an issue? They're literally the people we fought against, of course we shouldn't have monuments to them. What next, King George The Third monuments?

Technology

[[File:Transh.png]] Transhumanism [[File:Transh.png]]
I am a transhumanist.

[[File:Spaceexplor.png]] SPAAAAAAAACE! [[File:Spaceexplor.png]]
I am a space colonialist. All of humanity should work together to colonize the milky way.

Reform Or Revolution?
I follow the view that those who make reform impossible make revolution inevitable.

Philosophy

WIP

[[File:Utility.png]] The Meaning Of Life [[File:Utility.png]]
There is a meaning of life, but since we can't know what it truly is, we should focus on trying to make the world better instead.

Opinions on Ideologies
WIP

Good
- liberty, markets, and workplace democracy are all based.

- People should be free from poverty as much as they are free from the state.

- Down with fascism, communism, and monarchism!

- I like my country.

BritMonkeyism- Very epic youtuber.

- Sun Yat-Sen was a hero who put an end to the Qing Dynasty and was basically the chinese George Washington. All three of your principles are based.

Meh
Titoism- Dictator, which is cringe, and 20% unemployment also isn't good, but since you were established workplace democracy and fought against the axis powers, you're a whole lot better than other dictators.

Bad
- Worst form of socialism.

- You ruined my country, you little shit!

- Yeah, no. nationality should be based on similar principles like life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, not ethnicity.

- Ethnat but even more stupid, imagine thinking that citizens are only legitimate if their skin is a certain color.

All Fascists- being edgy isn't a political ideology.
