Borgism

Borgism is the official ideology of user Borgman1 or just borg. It hails from the Midwest and is inspired by leftist ideologies of his ancestral countries, Norway, Sweden, and Germany.

Economy
My beliefs in economics is left-wing and, depending on circumstance and context of the economic issue at hand, centre or far left. I would say I'm pretty collectivist, so I want my community to succeed the best it can. The best way to succeed is to let the nation centralise base resources like wood, steel, rubber, oil, so on and so forth to let local businesses buy from it. Something similar to market socialism, but markets only at a local level. At the national level, we should be socialist and use national power to our advantage and provide resources for companies when required. At a local level, we should encourage cooperative market socialist companies. I believe that unions are slowly becoming more leftist as the New Left gets more popular in America, but I do much prefer the unions of the Old Left that would war with companies for what they want and organize as one big group. I endorse and like syndicalist orgs like The IWW. I also believe in social housing programs and government-provided housing. also wouldnt it be really funny if we slaughtered every landlord brutally

Civic
To sum it up extremely briefly, I believe in a parliamentary republic. I am extremely for parliaments and one single ruler. The system acts like the US System, with different made up of parliaments of people who work in those departments and experts. Like semi-technocracy in a departmental parliament. The ruler (what ever they want to be called) will be a semi-figurehead, being elected by the parliament and able to be vetoed of their leadership by a popular vote. The parliament, however, will overall be the driving force behind the governments action. I believe in constitutional freedom of speech and freedom of religion (yes, even as a christian).

Philosophy
I am a devout Lutheran, and I follow the doctrine of sola scriptura. I listen to the Bible for my views on philosophy, and branch out from there on things not stated in the bible. For example, while yes, 2 men laying together is sinful, I am for gay marriage, and I don't care all too much if 2 men lied together. Sexual immorality is forbidden, but the bible does not talk about homosexual marriage. It is not my place to judge bodily autonomy, nor prohibit it. Hate the sin, love the sinner, and love thy neighbor as you would love thyself. That is what the Bible says, but nothing about homosexual marriage explicitly. I base my beliefs off the Bible and the Bible alone. The Bible I read from is RSV.
