[[File:Neocorporatism.png]] Mutually Beneficial Partnership [[File:Neocorporatism.png]]
The main goal of Owfism is to create what is to be known as a Mutually Beneficial Partnership, this economic idea seeks to synthesize the ideas of  Geolibertarian Socialism,  Market Socialism,  Distributist Progressivism and the ideas of a  Mixed-Market Economy. The sections below will mention the main tenets of this Mutually Beneficial Partnership:

[[File:Cooperative_Socialism.png]] Cooperative-Based Socialism [[File:Cooperative_Socialism.png]]
A main tenet of Owfist economics is the idea of Cooperative-Based socialism, this will ensure there will still be markets while still helping the people, believing that the existence of cooperative based socialism will make it easier to achieve socialism in the place.

Owfism believes that unions of today have become corrupted, and as such it believes that  co-operatives serve a better job than unions, who can more easily fight for worker ownership of the means of production, workers self management and eventually the  automatization and  abolition of work itself.

Owfism believes that worker co-operatives are to be shaping the economy of the 4th industrial revolution, a  post-industrial,  post-work society where the  environment is held as equally important and people are not subject to the activity of work, one which can be easily done by a emotionless, perfect machine not a emotionful, imperfect human.

Now, it will take quite some time to abolish work itself, in the mean time,  worker co-operatives will play a role in fighting for self-management, democracy and eventually ownership of production.

There will be co-operatives in all sectors of the economy, with there being co-operative societies in these sectors competing amongst each other, thus the element of the market.

Co-operative societies not only will have competitive power but they would also have political power allowing for pro-worker politicians  to be elected more often and allowing for  big money to get out of politics.

Co-operatives will also play a role in tax collection,  housing construction,  media and many other sectors, including  technology.

Why are co-operatives so good? Well, they are owned by the workers and are thus inherently beneficial to the workers, as it allows them to express themselves more in their workplace, thus increasing their freedoms, their  democratic rights and later the means of production.

[[File:DistProg.png]] Economic Distributism [[File:DistProg.png]]
Another economic idea Owfism supports aside from Georgism is the idea of  Distributism.

With this, Owfism believes that there should be widespread ownership of property among the people, which will drive housing prices down as there would be a good supply of houses in the first place, with this, homelessness can say goodbye, it won't be missed.

Another thing Owfism believes in relation to Distributism is the idea that the economy should mainly be driven by small and medium size businesses, stopping the rise of big businesses like monopolies through  anti-trust laws and an  economic constitution.

Why does Owfism believe this? Well, small and medium size businesses are just there to give what the people need and want, with Owfism also believing that if there are many small businesses and medium size businesses then there will be true economic competition and it prevents the power of  big business from creeping into the political system.

Owfism also believes that big business is corrupt and that it engages in worker oppression and that it also exports jobs abroad thus causing places like the Midwest to be desolate and poor, a shadow of what it once was, this does not happen with medium size business and especially not with small size business.

There will be tax credits and incentives for people willing to start a business, allowing it to jump out of zero and become competitive, however, it shall not become a massive business, as to ensure true economic competition remains.

However, while original distributism is firmly traditionalist when it comes to social issues, Owfism comes to be  progressive on that front, thus coming in support of  Distributist Progressivism.

[[File:Regulationism.png]] Taxation [[File:Regulationism.png]]
(Disclaimer: Revenue calculations from these taxes will be based on the United States, however, Owfed is not American.)

The first tax Owfism supports implementing and is at the heart of Owf's taxation policy is a land value tax. This land value will be based on a progressive structure, which means that the least valuable land gets taxed less while the most gets taxed more.

This is because land prices contribute a massive amount to housing prices, and lowering them is an essential step to lowering housing prices overall. The land value tax would also replace the property tax while not harming middle class and lower class homeowners.

The rates at which this tax will be charged, based on land value, will be as follows:


 * <10,000 $ : 10%
 * 10,000$-100,000$ : 25%
 * 100,000$ - 500,000$ : 50%
 * 500,000$ - 1,000,000$ : 75%
 * 1,000,000$ - 5,000,000$ : 87.5%
 * 5,000,000$ - 10,000,000$ : 92.5%
 * 10,000,000$ - 20,000,000$ : 95%
 * >20,000,000$ : 97.5%

As said previously, the land value tax will be charged at a  progressive rate, as said, where there the land value is overall lower, the tax rate charged on that value of the land will be lower.

Keep in mind, unlike property tax, this does not apply to improvements to the land, only applying to the unimproved value of the land itself.

How much revenues would such tax generate? Well, it is said that total American land value numbers at 23 Trillion $. As such, a land value tax, as proposed by this plan, would result in revenues of 15.3 Trillion $ per year, at least initially.

Such revenues could be used in a wide variety of things, ranging from welfare,  healthcare to  infrastructure and  education. But also to tackle the climate crisis by investing in green energy for example.

A Land Value Tax could also be considered a pollution tax, as harming the environment would also be something taxed by the land value tax, thus incentivizing polluters that worsen the climate to not pollute as much.

This tax brings forth many advantages but there would be too many for them to list on this section, so I am just gonna move on to the next tax.

Another tax Owfism wants to implement is a vacancy tax, this is an annual tax rate that is levied on properties that are vacant at least 6 months of the year, encouraging property owners to make proper use of such property or to just give it to someone else who actually will use such property in a good way.

This tax will be paid in addition to a land value tax, The rate at which this tax will be charged overall would be at 1%, this tax would serve along with the  land value tax in replacing  property taxes.

This will prevent hoarding up of homes people may not use and thus leave empty homes, thus allowing for true widespread ownership of property.

However, it finds that taxing it on a flat rate may disproportionally affect lower class and middle class people, thus going against what this tax rate is supposed to do. Thus, it goes for a progressive structure based on quintiles, based on the income of the people who left said home vacant:


 * <14,248$: 0%
 * 14,249$ - 35,551 $: 0.125%
 * 35,552$ - 63,270$: 0.25%
 * 63,271$ - 105,700$: 0.50%
 * 105,701$ - 306,320$: 0.75%
 * >306,320$: 1.25%

This thus lowers the burden on lower class and middle class people alike, and thus lessens the harm of such problem, with the vacancy tax now being more  progressive.

This would take aim at housing prices, just like LVT, however, its effects would be minor, however those effects are still there and are thus to be used in fixing the  housing crisis.

This would actually earn quite a lot of revenue, approximately 170B $ a year, which would mean over the course of a decade such vacancy tax would raise 1.7 Trillion $ a year in revenue. (This is based on the number of vacant homes in the United States, which numbers at 16 Million)

Owfism also believes that another tax that is necessary is a Financial Transactions Tax, this tax, as said in the name, will be levied on financial transactions. The rate at which it would be levied would be at 0.1% (1 cent from 1 dollar/transaction).

The role of the following tax would be able to prevent financial and banking speculation, which it believes caused crises like the Great Depression (Wall Street Crash of 1929), the Great Recession and now the Crypto Crash.

This tax would serve as a great step in fighting against financial speculation, and should thus be implemented. A tax like the financial transactions tax would result in revenues of 77B $ a year, or 777B $ in revenue over a decade.

Now, let's talk about the elephant in the room, and that is the income tax, probably the most important tax in any country. Now, how would the income tax work under an Owfist political system? Well, people earning less than <85,000$ will be subject to a earned income tax credit, this such tax will allow them to spend more, and lift people out of poverty.

Owfism believes that the income tax, as said by Henry George is society's killer, however, he does not want to abolish it rather reform it to make it so that the poor are not burdened from it.

Here's how the income tax brackets are going to be organized (spoiler alert: they will be the same as American irl tax brackets) and the rates each bracket will have:


 * <9,875$ : -30% ([[File:Chilib.png]] EITC)
 * 9,876$-40,125$ : -15% ([[File:Chilib.png]] EITC)
 * 40,126$-85,525$ : -3% ([[File:Chilib.png]] EITC)
 * 85,526$ - 163,300$ : 6%
 * 163,301$ - 207,350$ : 18%
 * 207,350$ - 518,400$ : 27%
 * >518,401$ : 54%

Revenues generated from such tax would number at around 1 Trillion $, as such, generating a decent amount of revenue from the income of people, especially upper-middle class and upper class people.

Another tax Owfism wants to implement is a carbon tax at a rate of 60$ per ton of CO2 emitted, with it rising  progressively in order to meet the 1.5 degree limit of the  Paris Climate Agreement and to curb Greenhouse gas emissions.

The total amount of American emissions emitted in 2022 is around 5.2 Billion tons, as such, a carbon tax would raise 312B $ per year in revenues, or 3.1 Trillion $ over the course of a decade.

As a last resort, and keep in mind as a very last resort, Owfism seeks to implement carbon tariffs on countries who refuse to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, like  China. However, Owfism is firmly globalist and would only seek to implement such measures if all other options are completely exhausted.

Owfism also wants to abolish corporate taxes, believing that such taxes would harm small and medium size businesses, and Owfism, a  distributist, seeks to allow for the benefit and flourishment of small and medium businesses, now, a main topic of concern is what about  big business? Yea. those are to be trust busted.

Another tax critically important according to Owfism is the implementation of a inheritance tax, believing that it is a necessary measure as 45% of all wealth is generated through inheritances and the United States is going through the greatest wealth transfer in history.

Owfism believes that if massive amounts of  inheritance is transmitted from generation to generation without being taxed, a country that was previously a  democracy may fall into a  aristocracy.

With an inheritance tax set a rate of 40%, the government can earn revenues from inheritances and give it back to the people, who did not have the luck of being born under the family of a millionaire or billionaire and who got their said amount of money through work.

Such inheritance tax would earn in revenue around 400 Billion $ per year, as around 45% of wealth right now in the United States is generated through such inheritance and this would only target very wealthy households in America.

Another tax Owfism seeks to implement is a Value Added Tax, this tax would be implemented in order to disincentivize the consumption and purchasing of unhealthy products like cigarettes and alcohol but also stuff like plastics, which harm the  nature. As such, this would be an incremental tax, being higher and higher as the product is more unhealthier.

The way a product is judged to be very unhealthy, unhealthy, healthy or very healthy is through the Environmental Performance Index (EPI) and the Food Safety Index (FSI).

This tax, the Value Added Tax not only will ensure people will eat healthier and consume healthier and be more eco-friendly be incentivizing more eco-friendly and healthy products, but it is also very hard to dodge, thus making it an easy way to raise revenue overall.

It will be in brackets, levied on with rates as follows:


 * Very healthy - 0.00%
 * Healthy - 5.00%
 * Unhealthy - 10.00%
 * Very unhealthy - 15.00%

As said, this will incentivize humans to have a healthier diet and ease the transition towards a humanity which it consumes and uses healthy products and more eco-friendly products. This tax would raise 160B $ in revenue per year.

The final tax Owfism supports will be a graduate tax that will be levied on student grants. The rate at which this tax will be set would be at 8% each student grant given out by the government to lower class college students.

This tax would manage to raise 11 Billion $ a year, with the revenues from this tax going to subsidies for colleges and universities, thus no longer requiring stuff like tuition fees.

In total, all of these taxes combined would raise around 19.1T $ a year (at least in the first year of their implementation) and as such this can be useful in funding an expansive and universal welfare state and also tackle inequality.

[[File:Welf.png]] Assistance [[File:Welf.png]]
The first welfare program, or rather a tax credit program Owfism wants to implement is a earned income tax credit that goes to people earning less than 85,000$ in income.

The total amount of spending dedicated towards such credit would come out be 590B $ however this would fruit positive consequences, as it would result in many people being lifted out of poverty and thus boosting economic growth overall.

Owfism believes that such earned income tax credit would make the economy fairer for all, but not just fairer, but also less bureaucratic and messy.

A second program Owfism supports implementing is a universal basic income of 1,000$ per person and it will apply to people earning less than <207,000 $ in income per year and are over the age of 18.

The main reason such tax is to be implemented is to allow people to get by along with the economy in a post-work society, one which human work is no longer needed and it is thus replaced by  machines.

Such a program would cost only 1.6T $ per year, and can easily be payed for through economic growth and tax revenues from taxes like LVT or  VAT.

Another program Owfism wants to implement are student grants, these student grants will apply to people attending tertiary (or higher) education, also known as college.

The way such student grants are going to be paid for is through a graduate tax, which will be charged at 8% of the student grants that students are to be earning.

These student grants will apply to lower and lower-middle class students who seek to have a good college since they got good grades but cannot because of their economic status.

Another thing Owfism wants to do is abolish tuition fees believing them to be a burden on students and makes colleges and universities exclusionary to only rich sons of rich parents.

Owfism also wants to ban donations that try to boost SAT scores through fraudulent means, believing them to be a "skip the line" scheme which puts poor people who worked hard behind, thus going against Meritocracy.

Owfism is a firm believer in the need for social security, believing it to be an essential driver of old people being lifted out of poverty, Owfism believes that old people over the age of 64 should receive 2,000 $ a month through a pension in order to stay afloat and not fall to poverty.

With this, Owfism believes that the U.S Retirement age should be lowered from 67 to 64, believing 64 to be a reasonable age as to when a person should stop working and live out the final moments of their life and retire.

This social security pension would apply to lower class elderly people who are not as good as making ends meet as old rich people do, since well, the rich people already have the money, and the lower class people no longer work when they're old.

Owfism also supports implementation of Medicare for All, believing that there is no way a human right like healthcare should be under the control of  corporations who only seek profit above all.

Owfism believes that healthcare should be under the control of worker co-operatives who are there to heal and keep people healthy and not seek a profit. Through them, people, regardless of class and income, will be able to get good quality access to healthcare.

A program like Medicare for All would be ambitious but necessary in order to met the health demands and needs of the many, such a program would cost 3T $ a year, however, it can be paid through economic growth and taxation.

Owfism also wants to strengthen Medicaid programs and to allow it to operate in sectors such as dental and mental health care, believing those are to be equally important to the current things Medicaid operates.

Owfism believes that Medicare and Medicaid are important programs and they must be kept and made completely accessible to 100% of the country's population. We must not leave some people un-insured, everyone has a right to live healthy.

The system of Medicare and Medicaid would be through a single-payer system, such system is a system in which where one entity administers healthcare funding and payments. Through this system, Medicare for All can save a lot of money.

Disability benefits would also be given to people with medical conditions that will last 1 year or result in death who are thus unable to work. These benefits will make sure that such person stays afloat and doesn't fall into poverty.

Child allowance would also given to parents responsible for kids which are below the age of 16, another program in conjuction with this would be paid leave for both fathers and mothers which in total would be 105 working days. This is based on the Finland model.

The amount of child allowance given to parents depends on the number of kids they have under 16, with it being given out in amounts like this:


 * 1 child: 100$
 * 2 children: 125$
 * 3 children: 150$
 * 4 children: 175$
 * 5 children: 200$
 * >6 children: 250$

These allowance programs along with paid leave would allow the newly created family to live freely and be able to spend, thus boosting economic growth even further. Another program Owfism seeks to implement is unemployment insurance. Such program would apply to people who seek to work but are not able to work because they haven't been hired or an economic crisis resulted in them being laid off their job.

Keep in mind, this would only apply to people who used to work and have fallen into unemployment and not to people who are just general leeches and just personally refuse to work themselves despite not having any medical condition.

[[File:Keynes.png]] Fiscal Policy [[File:Keynes.png]]
Owfism, when it comes to fiscal policy, is firmly a Keynesian, believing that overall, a mixed-market economy is ideal for economic growth as it ensures there is enough economic competition while there are still some  intervention in case things go dark.

Generally, Owfism is for balanced budgets, balancing out revenues from taxes with spending in public assistance and other projects like  roads and bridges. It believes that deficit spending during good times increases inflation while surplus spending harms the people themselves. Which is why he supports balanced budgets.

However, when an economic crisis hits, the Central Bank will have an expansionary  fiscal policy, engaging in deficit spending in order to boost money supply and to thus stimulate the economy, bring back growth and boost employment.

Because, if the Central Bank increases money supply at a rate faster than the Private banks decrease their money supply then that would make the recession less severe and ensure economic recovery.

Owfism believes in regulation of the boom and bust cycle, with there being small money supply increases or even slightly decreasing money supply during good times and big but necessary  money supply increases during times of crisis.

With this time balanced period of money supply usage, inflation will typically hover at around 2-3%, a.k.a the typical Central Bank target rate.

However, when a bad scenario of deflation occurs, when prices and wages are thus to go down and especially during a deflationary spiral like in  Japan a massive amount of  quantitative easing (QE) would be conducted by the  central bank. This is to end the spiral of deflation and to bring in  inflation of target levels.

Another main purpose of quantitative easing (QE) would be get the economy out of what is called a liquidity trap, a situation where the rate of interest has fallen, liquidity preference becomes absolute, with people preferring to hold cash than holding debt.

With this, Owfism believes that QE is an essential solution to solving such a problem. However, Owfism also supports central banks injecting liquidity as it makes sure that the crisis does not turn into a depression, example being the 1987 recession, which is said to have been the next Great Depression.

[[File:Cooperative_Socialism.png]] Means of Production [[File:Cooperative_Socialism.png]]
Owfism is a firm believer that workers should own the means of production, thus rendering Owfism as a socialist ideology. To achieve such a goal, Owfism seeks to use worker co-operatives as a tool.

Why? Well, worker co-operatives can be effective and ensure a  reformist transition to  socialism, as the co-operatives will band together in co-operative societies and thus bargain for self-management, democracy and eventually ownership of production.

Owfism believes that the current capitalist mode of production prevents the  workers to be paid the value that they actually deserve, and leads them to be subject to wage slavery, wages which do not even make sure the worker is out of poverty.

The problem with work today is that it subjects humans to work like slaves but paid a wage that doesn't even help them get out of poverty, doing tasks that are better suited to perfect, feelingless machines.

As such, Owfism supports automatization of the workplace and the usage of machines instead of humans, with humans being eventually replaced by machines and finally liberating humans culturally, allowing them to pursue what they desire.

For people to stay afloat during a society which has abandoned  work entirely, a  universal basic income of 1,000$/month to people making less than <207,000 $ in income as the main solution, as it believes people earning over that amount are already rich and are the ones who were the  owner class.

This will help stop potential growths in inequality and poverty, things Owfism consider to be unnecessary evils that must be eradicated. Owfism believes that a earned income tax credit and  universal basic income are essential to finally bring forth an end to poverty, a seemingly herculean task which has never been done before.

[[File:Bankocracy.png]] Monetary Policy [[File:Bankocracy.png]]
When it comes to monetary policy Owfism believes that there should be a Central Bank independent from the  government itself. The Central Bank is the most important bank of the nation.

The responsibilities of the central bank are within monetary policy mostly, with the government could also have the ability to fiscally stimulate the economy, however, it also is responsible for some fiscal matters.

The responsibilities are in monetary policy is meddling with interest rates most importantly, as during economic crisis interest rates are to be lowered to a level of 0%, as it allows consumer demand to recover.

However, this would naturally increase inflation and lead to hyperinflation, thus, interest rates are to be raised to levels of 2-3% in good times post-crisis in order to combat the  inflation problem and bring it back to more sustainable levels.

Owfism believes, that while interest rates hikes can fix inflation, due to the current economy which has become monopolized, anti-trust laws and  temporary windfall profits taxes are to be levied on big corporations who engage in corporate price gouging that boost inflation.

Owfism is also a firm advocate for banking regulation, wanting to bring back regulations to the level of the Glass-Steagall Act, this will stop banking speculation and separate commercial and investment banking.

Owfism believes these regulations also prevent the creation of Ponzi schemes, with the Glass-Steagall Act level regulations also applying to the digital currency world, thus ending the crypto Ponzi scheme.

These regulations would not be enforced by the  government but rather  economic experts, believing them to be better regulators overall.

[[File:Trustbust.png]] Monopolies [[File:Trustbust.png]]
Owfism believes that corporate monopolies are an inherent evil as they discorage economic competition, and are a likely cause of inflation, as in  capitalism, if there are economic competitors, companies will have to lower prices in order to make them seem the more convincing company over their competitor.

However, once there is a corporate monopoly in an economic sector, there will not be price gouging that causes lowered prices to win up over one competitor, since well, there isn't a competitor. As such, the corporate price gouging will result in very low price decreases or even price increases since they know there isn't an alternative.

So, yea, we must TRUST BUST these monopolies. According to Owfism, there must be an economic constitution like in  Germany, which seeks to prevent the rise of big trusts in the first place. The law being that if a company has over 40% market share over its sector that it operates, then it is thus a monopoly and thus must be broken up.

He also has a number for how many companies the  trust must be broken based on its market share percentage it owns in that sector, if it is over 40% of the market share in that sector. The number of companies a big trust is to be broken up into based on the market share:


 * 40-50% Market Share - The trust is broken up into 10 companies.
 * 50-60% Market Share - The trust is broken up into 15 companies.
 * 60-70% Market Share - The trust is broken up into 20 companies.
 * 70-80% Market Share - The trust is broken up into 25 companies.
 * 80-90% Market Share - The trust is broken up into 30 companies.
 * >90% Market Share - The trust is broken up into 35 companies.

This is in accordance with the economic constitution, with the economic constitution also mentioning that the owner of the once  monopoly cannot own shares of stock within the new companies, believing that results in the previously rich owner to become even richer.

This is a big deal, as it finally allows true economic competition as envisioned by Adam Smith, the founder of  Capitalism himself. Also, companies like Google along with other tech companies and social media companies to name a few will be broken up, as they are, in accordance with the proposed constitution, eligible to be broken up as they exceed 40% market share. This applies to every company which exceeds that threshold.

[[File:Green_Party_(US).png]] Green New Deal [[File:Ectrans.png]]
In the face of the climate crisis, the most severe and most important crisis of the 21st century, we have to implement tough action in order to save our planet,  Earth. So what is the solution?

We need a radical transition to Renewable energy, such as solar and wind but also many other renewable energy sources, like geothermal, tidal, wave along with solar water heating and others. However, Owfism does support hydroelectric power.

To do this, we need a Green New Deal, with the entire fossil fuel sector being temporarily  re-nationalized in order to ease the transition to green energy and to prevent social chaos as a result of the fall of fossil fuels. Owfism wants a 78% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in order to save the climate. With there being net zero by 2050, with the 22% of emissions left being in hard to decarbonize sectors, from 2030-2050 new technologies are to be worked on to de-carbonize them too.

Owfism supports the idea of green growth, rejecting the idea of degrowth, as some people would say. Believing that the economy should grow even if fossil fuels are being phased out.

He believes that the state should begin to massively subsidize  renewables and the fight against climate change, increasing subsidies from 500B $ a year to 2T $ a year in order to more easily spread renewables across the world and to allow them to spread in poorer parts of the world.

He is also an advocate of Nuclear energy, believing it to be a pretty good baseload energy that will be very useful until renewable energy storage methods become cheaper and more effective overall, and that it must also be subsidized too.

Obviously, Owfism believes that fossil fuel subsidies should be completely phased out and that any new fossil fuel project should be completely halted in order to further stop the destruction of our own  environment.

He is also in favor of carbon taxes, emissions trading schemes and the implementation of a global carbon price, in order to disincentivize the use of fossil fuels globally and to ensure that poorer not just richer nations can de-carbonize, as climate change is a  human problem, not an  American problem or  Chinese problem.

[[File:Transh.png]] 4th Industrial Revolution [[File:Transh.png]]
First, let's begin on what a 4th Industrial Revolution actually is. A 4th industrial revolution will seek to automatize work and bring forth a revolution when it comes to artificial intelligence, as such, human jobs will no longer be required. These are the main components of Owf's 4th industrial revolution:

- Green Growth

Green Growth is the first component of Owf's concept of a 4th industrial revolution. Green Growth seeks to envision a post-industrial society where fossil fuels have been completely abandoned in favor of renewable energy and in the electrification of the electricity grid and heating.

Through Green Growth, humanity shall live in solidarity with  nature. We must change the way our agriculture works, instead of the destructive farming of today, we have laboratory grown meat, and there shall be aqua farming, with technologies more advanced and sustainable than today along with vertical farming for crops.

The advantages of vertical farming is that it takes up less space of the land below and instead saves that space by going well, vertical, which means up. Aqua farming, if expanded and advanced, will serve to feed billions upon billions of people on Earth, our blue home.

We must also expand de-salinization technology across the world and make it more advanced, thus giving us access to a plethora of fresh water, a lot more than we have today.

We will harness the power of the wind, the sun and even the power of fusion, the most important power of them all in order to power up our households. This society that I envision is thus a Solarpunk society.

This society also envisions a socialist society, where workers own the means of production, to do this, as said many times before, we are going to be using  worker co-operatives.

We must escape the pessimism that has developed in part because of news about us failing to address climate change, rampant inequality and rising poverty, especially in the developing world since the mid 2010s.

And instead fight and pursue a society where the needs and rights of the people and  nature are both put at an equal level, and to fight for a  united world country, as one will be better at co-operation than the many countries we have today.

- Space Exploration

The second component of the 4th Industrial Revolution is space exploration, Owfism considers that humanity must become an inter-planetary and even inter-stellar society, as it will serve to extend the life of the human race much longer.

We must invest in technologies which advance space exploration and allow us to reach our closest star systems (like Alpha Centauri). Owfism believes that the reason we have not went to the moon after 1972 is because we have stopped investing in space exploration.

Owfism wants to dedicate 1.5% of global GDP to space exploration, as the current amount of 0.05% is not even sufficient to be interplanetary.

This will allow the more quicker invention of many new technologies which will allow us to eventually terraform Mars and even  Venus after Mars.

This galactic society would however still carry the main principles of a  solarpunk society of  solidarity and  equality.

Space Exploration is the main thing which will determine whether we will go extinct in the next 100 years or we stay alive for possibly billions of years. We are on a great filter, and we have to pass it through space exploration.

To truly become a great inter-stellar society, we have to abandon the nation state and pursue the international. Humanity must be one country, one entity, not almost 200 entities, as that hinders world co-operation.

Through world co-operation we have made strides, increasing it would only make things better. (Smallpox eradication comes to mind).

- Automation

The 3rd component of the 4th industrial revolution is automation. Owfism is a firm advocate of work-place automation, believing that work is just paid slavery, as modern work we know today can easily be done by a robot who is feelingless, perfect while a human is with feelings and imperfect.

So, why waste time with a human who naturally makes mistake when robots and machines can be used which can do the things you want perfectly? Work at this point has essentially become slavery as wages of today cannot even get you out of poverty and have stagnated since the 1970s.

The 4th industrial revolution will finally liberate humans from the chains of capitalist work and bring forth a  post-work society. But wait, how will humans have a base of consumer spending? What happens to the economy. There are two simple solutions.

The first is an earned income tax credit which applies to people earning less than 85,000$. It is essentially what the name says, a tax credit. Which means people earning less than that amount will be given income money by the government, thus helping them stay afloat. This will cost 590B $.

Another solution Owfism proposes is an universal basic income of 1,000$/month given to people earning less than 207,000$ and are over the age of 18. This is given to people who are in the working class, with people above that according to Owfism being mostly in the  owner class. As such, they do not get UBI. This will cost 1.6T $.

This will ensure that potentially massive growths in inequality and poverty, two equally negative things does not happen, and most people will manage to stay within the middle class as a result.

=Society=

[[File:SocialProgressive.png]] Progress and Liberty [[File:Liberty.png]]
Owfist social policy encompasses the ideas of progress and  liberty. This is the main idea behind the social policies of Owfism, believing those two principles to be of utmost importance. This is a comprehensive breakdown of Owfed's societal policy:

[[File:Gay.png]] Marriage [[File:Gay.png]]
Owfism is firmly in favour of equal marriage rights regardless of gender, believing that it is important to ensure that everyone has an individual right to get married in life.

He believes that the opposition to gay marriage is absurd, as it is based on a book made thousands of years ago and a book that could had even been modified later on to hate on  gay people. Jesus himself wanted all men and women to be equal and that included marriage.

However though, while he is fundamentally opposed to religious fundamentalists, with them going against equal marriage because "the bible said so!" I also oppose the opposite of them. The "social justice warriors", believing them to also be radical cultural extremists who believe conservatives should be killed or that homosexuals should have complete superiority over other people or that there should be  state atheism. P.s you are not a social justice warrior you're a guy who sits on twitter all day

So what is my position? My social position is the position of SJW-Lite. SJW-Lites support gay marriage and all, but they do not want state atheism, conservatives to be killed just because they're conservative and all of those things. SJW-Lite is a good middle ground that actually ensures equal rights and does not create a new form of supremacism.

[[File:GRights.png]] Guns [[File:GRights.png]]
Owfism is an advocate of gun rights, believing that under no pretext the people should not have the right to bear a gun. Why? guns act as protection, guns protect your individual liberty. Guns give you safety from criminals just in time before the police arrive.

"To conquer a nation you must first dis-arm its citizens." said Adolf Hitler. The role of guns is important in toppling  tyrannical regimes as an armed populace makes it easier for the people to fight against the keys of the tyrant.

However, I do believe there needs to be some minor regulations to prevent excessive and bad use of  guns. Such as uh... school shootings. As such, I support a minimum age to buy a gun to be set at 20, however, people in the military obviously can have guns at 18, when you can join the military.

Owfism also believes in waiting times, believing that a waiting time of either 1 or 2 months should be necessary as well, believing that it prevents impulsive violence or suicide, and is overall a healthy regulation, that does not infringe on gun rights.

[[File:Liberty.png]] Freedom of Speech [[File:Civlibert.png]]
Owfism is a strong advocate for freedom of speech. He believes that social media should not ban people just because they're right-wing conservatives, believing that the internet should be a free hub where people can express their opinions regardless if they're  right-wing or  left-wing.

The only way to convince right-wingers to stop being, well,   right-wingers is not through banning them but through convincing them with regular and civil debate. Criticism should be constructible criticism and not harsh criticism, which seeks to disrespect, but rather criticism which is calm, and just fundamentally address the flaws while still having no personal grudge against the person himself.

Owfism also wants to abolish the surveillance state, believing that it has over-stepped its purpose of just "stopping terrorists" or "arresting criminals" and instead has become a way for the  government to have information about every single person out there,

Owfism wants to make a new constitutional bill of rights which upholds the  right to privacy, the  right to free speech, the  right to bear arms, the  right to vote, the  right to political participation & petition, the  right to marriage and many other rights in order to create a society that truly upholds  freedom.

[[File:FreeSpeak.png]] Freedom of Information [[File:FreeSpeak.png]]
A main problem Owfism has with the current system of information is that it is against the consumer and for the profit of the  tech corporation, that is also a monopoly. Something which will be broken up under Owfism. (look at Monopolies section above)

He believes that social media and tech companies like Facebook,  Twitter and  Google should be broken up, as they have a stranglehold over social media and online news for example, he believes that they should be broken based on their market share, into 10 (minimum) and 35 (maximum) amount of companies.

This would allow true economic competition and a diversity in media options to choose from and not be left with less than 10 choices to use on what you should communicate on. He believes that the people should be able to able to repair their own electronics, through right to repair laws.

He also wants to fight for privacy rights, believing that tech companies should be forced to stop making a profit from tracking their own users and instead use privacy-respecting forms of advertisement if they want to profit from technology. He believes that the identity of the internet user must be kept Anonymous in most if not maybe all cases, in order to prevent the privacy of the user being broken.

He also believes that internet pirating should be made legal, I am in full support of it, however, I believe that a game or art creator should be compensated by the  government for the money he lost because of the fact someone didn't buy his game and instead pirated it. (That's only for small game creators though, for guys like EA, you get nothing!)

He also seeks to abolish patent laws, believing them to only be used to make a profit off of your invention and ignores the human life it can save with it, an example of an inventor doing the right thing is Jonas Salk, inventor of the polio vaccine. He also wants to dramatically reduce copyright laws from 75 years to 2-5 years, although there would still be few exceptions of 10-20 years copyright lasting time.

[[File:Pro-ChoiceRemade.png]] Abortion [[File:Pro-ChoiceRemade.png]]
Owfism on abortion is fully pro-choice, believing that it is the right of the woman to choose whether it should give birth or not. He is against the recent American supreme court ruling declaring abortion to be illegal, believing that it must be legal, and especially legal in cases of incest, rape and other instances when the woman's life is in danger, as those are the cause of most abortion.

[[File:Fem.png]] Pay Gaps [[File:MLK.png]]
Owfism believes that an end must come to the gender pay gap between men and women but also the  racial pay gap between black and whites, believing that there's no way a country's a meritocracy when your own gender or your own skin color determines whether you get paid a decent salary or not.

Owfism believes that this is disgraceful that people's pay is still judged by their skin color or gender and not based on the capability of their own job, believing that the more you work the more you progress, but sadly, this isn't true. But Owfism wants to make it true.

I am a Meritocrat, a convinced Meritocrat, to some it may be a fantasy, but to me it is my main goal.

[[File:Urbanism.png]] Property [[File:Urbanism.png]]
Owfism believes that the property sector must be nationalized in the short term and put under the control of  worker co-operatives in the medium and long term. Believing that housing is a human right and is not a simple investment, just like how healthcare/education are to be a human right.

Owfism believes that there must be a massive boom in housing construction, believing that solving the housing affordability crisis to be paramount. Owfism also believes that if there is enough affordable homes in the world then homelessness will basically go extinct.

Another main way Owfism seeks to tackle housing price affordability is through land value, more specifically the complete replacement property taxation, believing it to be not just a burden on consumers but also a massive failure. He wants the implementation of a Land value tax to replace it, a.k.a a tax on the unimproved value of land.

Owfism also believes that housing should be made greener overall, many things can be done to green houses, however, I support the  Solarpunk model of housing mostly (just search up solarpunk houses to understand).

[[File:Secular.png]] Religion [[File:Secular.png]]
Owfism is a non-practicing orthodox christian by birth, however, when it comes to the existence of god himself Owfism is an  atheist, rejecting the existence of a higher being, like God.

Owfism is a firm supporter of the separation of church and state and the idea of taxing churches like how other institutions get taxed, believing that it is weird that they have an exception.

He believes that religion should not play a role in the political system of a country, and should basically be kept to your own personal views, believing that there should be no official religion, with everyone being free to practice whatever they want.

[[File:Intercult.png]] Immigration [[File:Intercult.png]]

 * Owfism believes we should be accepting immigrants as they provide for jobs lost due to the fact that workers here retired due to old age. Immigrants also serve as a way to add to talent and to society as a whole.
 * However, he rejects the concept of Multiculturalism, believing it to cause rises in strongman politics, something which he seeks to prevent, as such he advocates for Interculturalism or the Melting Pot Model.
 * This model ensures that all cultures are integrated into one unified culture and do not divide the nation up into many different cultures that only divide the nation politically between populists (who seek to end mass immigration) and the establishment.
 * He wants to end the nature of self-segregating cultures who only create a culture they had, an enclave of their country into the new country they came in. He wants integration between cultures in order to promote unity much easier along with stability and cohesion.

[[File:Acidcomf.png]] Drug Legalization [[File:Acidcomf.png]]

 * Owfism is a firm believer in legalizing and decriminalizing all drugs. Believing that drugs are not a national security issue but rather a public health issue.
 * He believes that if alcohol and tobacco are legal why the hell are drugs not legal?
 * Owfism wants stronger and universal single-payer mental health in order to convince mentally abused users not to try it and also to try to help them go through their problems and overcome them as to not get hooked on them.
 * He believes that drugs should be included in the alcohol/tobacco taxation system, through the Sales Tax proposal by Owfism in order to disincentivize the consumption of it.
 * After legalization, a minimum consumption age will be set of around 18 on all drugs, just like the minimum age to consume alcohol.
 * He believes that the war on drugs was a massive failure that failed to reduce drug consumption and only encouraged illegal un-sanitary consumption of it, and allowed youngsters to illegally try the substance.
 * As such, he supports subsidizing clean needles for consumption, as they are much more healthy and do not damage the life of the consumer.

[[File:Edu.png]] Education [[File:Edu.png]]

 * Owfism is a firm believer in free and universal education for all children regardless of social status, race or gender.
 * He wants to scrap tuition fees for college users, believing them to be harming low income families and preventing them from having a potentially smart child go to the right college he deserves because of his low income.
 * He also wants to have free universal pre-K education along with fully accessible Kindergarten, Elementary, Primary and High School education to all children, believing that education is a human right that must be guaranteed to everyone.
 * Believing that education is the first way to have a productive and competitive work force. This is why the United States for example hired workers from countries with mostly high levels of education to make a new Boeing model.
 * He also wants to reform the time schedule of kids staying in school, going by the following:
 * Kindergarten school students stay from 9:00 to 13:00 or 4 hours
 * Elementary school students stay from 9:00 - 14:00 or 5 hours
 * Primary school students stay from 9:00 - 15:00 or 6 hours
 * High school students stay from 10:00 - 16:00 or 6 hours
 * College students stay from 11:00 - 17:00 or 6 hours
 * There would also be a 1 hour pause to give the students a mental break from all the information they accumulated, this being the recess period. It lasts:
 * K: 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
 * Elementary: 11:00 AM - 12:00 AM
 * Primary: 12:00 AM - 13:00 PM
 * High: 13:00 PM - 14:00 PM
 * College: 14:00 PM - 15:00 PM
 * Owfism believes that schools should care about their students mental health as the more healthy their minds are the easier they can understand and accumulate new things that they learned in school. Essentially being a win-win.
 * Owfism also supports free school lunch programs which guarantees a healthy, proper lunch to all students regardless of their income or status in society.
 * Owfism also believes that public bathrooms should be regularly cleaned in order to ensure that kids sanitation is respected and that school bathrooms should always have running hot water and soap dispensers for example.

[[File:Ecocent.png]] Transportation [[File:Anticar.png]]

 * First of all, to begin this section I would like to say SCRAP CARS! Cars generate noise pollution, block up the road, cause a shit ton of accidents and also now they are polluting even if electric cars exist (which are less than 10% of all cars in the world).
 * Well, then how will people travel?????
 * Simple, we already have alternatives that existed for quite a decent bit in human history. For short travels within the city you can just walk, take a bicycle (electric or regular, both are pretty good), take a bus (powered by green hydrogen) or a tram/metro (powered by green hydrogen).
 * That is short distance, what about long distance???
 * That is also simple, have you ever heard of a train? Yep. Trains powered by green hydrogen will basically replace cars in long distance travel.
 * But trains are slower than cars!11
 * No, not all trains are slower than cars. Some trains can even reach speeds of 500/600km/h. High Speed trains reach speeds of 200/300km/h. We should invest in such train technology and will probably exist in the future by the 2030s. These are Maglev Trains that go up to fast speeds and are far faster than almost any car out there.
 * But there is no routes that I can choose! With a car I can travel anywhere!
 * Well duh, no wonder there are barely any routes you can use with public transportation. Its because we filled up our roads with cars and have removed all demand from alternatives, if we fight back and bring back public transit, their demand will again go up thus adding more routes for them as well.
 * Ok, ok, but what is this green hydrogen thing?
 * Green hydrogen is hydrogen produced by splitting the H2 from H2O through electrical separation. Green hydrogen is used for energy storage in Renewable energy but rarely, but in my opinion I think we should phase out lithium batteries from transportation and energy and replace it with green hydrogen, it is less polluting and also can be less costly and will be less costly in the future. It also will ensure fully green transportation.
 * But what about planes? How will people go from Europe to America let's say?
 * Well, this is one of the few exceptions where I would not replace plane travel. Typical plane travel in the interior of country or the same continent should be phased out and replaced with Maglev travel.
 * However, trans-continental trips will be used with planes converted to green hydrogen and not Kerosen, as Kerosen pollution happens right up in the air, entering far more easily in the Earth's atmosphere.
 * So yea, abolish cars and (mostly) abolish planes and replace them with bikes, e-bikes, metros, trams, busses and trains. De-carbonization has to happen everywhere and we must change our civilization in order to fight the climate crisis.
 * Another main advantage to replacing cars is the reduction in noise pollution and the increase in air quality. The replacement of car streets/stroads and paving way for walkable areas with some tram/bus lanes (which take up less space) and underground metro lines. Bike/scooter trails are also included.
 * This would also boost the local economy and allow small businesses to prosper as people walk slower in a more walkable area, allowing small businesses to pop up more and to give people more time to enjoy the scenery.

=International Stage =

[[File:World_Federalism2.png]] Unity and Solidarity [[File:Globnat.png]]

 * Unity and Solidarity is the main international policy tenet which comprises of all international policy advocated by Owfed.

[[File:Cball-EU.png]] On EU [[File:Cball-EU.png]]
Owfism is a firm advocate for stronger European integration, supporting the idea of a European Federation.

Owfism believes that the benefits of a federalization would far outweigh the cons to such unions, and there are many examples where I could go on, but let's first begin with:

Immigration. Personally, I think the 2014 migrant crisis could had been handled much better had the European Union been under a federation, as its response to it would had been more united And there wouldn't have been far-right trolls (Orban) who further sabotaged EU immigration for his personal gains, thus resulting in a better policy.

While I may seem pretty Europhile, I reject the European Union's handling of the 2008 recession that involved forced austerity on poorer countries, instead believing that the  European Union should have adopted  keynesian economic stimulus policies as done by the  United States under the  Obama administration.

I believe that an integration of the European Union would do wonders and improve European power over the world and expand European influence, thus ending the duopoly of power that is between the US and  China.

I believe that there should be a European Army, with defense making up 2% of its GDP, similar to the NATO target, as it will allow the EU to stop relying on the United States to solving internal problems and thus allowing it to exercise itself as a world power in its own right.

On elections, I believe that the current system is to be reformed where people can vote on European parties (EPP, S&D, EGP etc.), and to also increase the power of the European parliament, and to make the role of  European Commission President be a symbolic role, like a president. As such, Owfism believes there is to be a European Prime Minister.

[[File:World_Federalism2.png]] A New World [[File:Cball-UN.png]]
Owfism is strongly in favor of reforming the United Nations into a much more  democratic and  popular institution that serves the interests of all  humans across the world and that it must be effective, believing that if it does not reform it is bound to end up like the League of Nations.

How does Owfism want to reform the United Nations? Well, first of all, votes by nations on U.N resolutions should be based on a majoritarian model, meaning that if 99 countries or more support a resolution then it shall be passed and it cannot be vetoed by 1 or 2 nations, believing that system to be entirely unfair.

Owfism believes that the United Nations should integrate  peacefully into an united  World Federation, the way the integration would be done would sort of be similar to  European integration into an  European Federation.

Owfism believes that the reason the United Nations seems so weak when it comes to international affairs is because of its very non-integrated model. Owfism believes that international integration should be done incrementally, through a series of international treaties that integrate the world economy and society.

This is similar to the phases of European integration, and it believes that the integration of the United Nations should mostly be similar to the way the European Union, believing that the end goal is to create a World federation, similar to proposals of a European federation.

He believes that the electoral system should be ranked-choiced voting, with there being elections to parliament, with members being elected by the  people by their own personal rankings and with there being a symbolic  president elected by the  people. Parliament votes on a prime minister, who would have most of the power. This model would be similar to a semi-presidential system.

He also believes that there should be an Earth Supreme Court, with it being the main judicial-related force in a united World Federation under the ideology of  Owfism.

=Other stuff=

[[File:Cball-Ukraine.png]] Ukraine and Russia [[File:Cball-Russia.png]]
First of all, I would like to say: Russia is a Ethnonationalist,  Irredentist country that is probably at this point  Fascist.

This war could had been easily prevented had the entirety of NATO accepted Ukraine in 2009, soon after Romania and Bulgaria. Owfism believes that NATO, EU and the UN should follow a model of voting on legislation based on how national parliaments do it, that being a majority of nations agreeing to something, that means it is accepted.

Ukraine is not the most perfect country and it is not the most democratic, however, it is the lesser of two evils in this situation, and the nation that is attacked by aggressive Russian imperialism.

You may think that I am for American imperialism, but nope, I am opposed to that. I do not want American, Russian or  Chinese hegemony but rather Global hegemony. I want a society not led by a nation, but a society led by humanity. A united world.

I personally believe that Ukraine should be given the weapons it needs so that the war is shorter than it otherwise would have and to finally bring back full-on grain shipments so that the brewing food crisis ends and inflation begins to go back down. Ukraine must be protected from the hands of Russian imperialism and should be helped in repairing its economy and to also integrate it into NATO and  EU.

[[File:Cball-Taiwan.png]] China [[File:Cball-China.png]]
Owfism is firmly pro-Taiwan when it comes to the matter of China. He is sympathetic to Left-Liberal Tridemism, however he rejects the  Irredentist view that Taiwan should take back  mainland China, instead believing Taiwan should be an  independent sovereign nation so that it can escape the shackles of the  People's Republic of China led by Xi Jinping, a leader who is even more fervent on getting Taiwan under mainland control.

As such, Owfism is a firm supporter of the Democratic Progressive Party of Taiwan, led by now current President of Taiwan Tsai Ing-wen, and is opposed to  Chinese attempts at getting Taiwan under it's own control and wants Taiwan to be given military aid, especially from the  United States,  Japan and  South Korea. This is to allow Taiwan to have a chance at blocking China in it's invasion.

=Philosophy=

[[File:Scientocracy_Small.png]]Conformal Cyclic Cosmology[[File:Scientocracy_Small.png]]
So, what is the true origin of our Universe? How did our Universe, the universe that we live in as of right now, get to become a thing? There are many arguments and ideas that try to prove how the Universe was created, however, the one I adhere to is Conformal Cyclic Cosmology.

Now, what is the idea of conformal cyclic cosmology? It is a cosmological framework and model that stands within the framework of general relativity, with this idea, the universe is ititerated through infinite cycles.

The end of a previous universe (and thus our universe) is known as timelike infinity, (which is at its core the latest end of any timescale for any point in space) with each iteration being identified with the Big Bang singularity of the following universe.

Now, how is this a metaphysical belief and how is it a philosophical one, well, as of now, we do not have a good enough way to empirically prove its existence and thus cannot be falsified or proven, thus it is to be in the realm of  philosophy and not that of  science itself.

[[File:Scientocracy_Small.png]] Basic Construction [[File:Scientocracy_Small.png]]
The basic construction of such an idea as Conformal Cyclic Cosmology is based on mathematical frameworks, which is to connect a countable sequence of open FLRW metric spacetimes, with each representing a Big Bang that is thus followed by a future expansion.

As noticed by Roger Penrose (theoretical physician), the past conformal boundary of one copy of FLRW spacetime can be attached to a future conformal boundary of another.

In particular, each individual FLRW metric is multiplied by the square of a conformal factor Omega that approaches zero at a timelike infinity, which thus effectively "squashing down" the future conformal boundary to a conformally regular hypersurface.

The hypothesis (Conformal Cyclic Cosmology) is to require all massive particles to cease from existence, including those who became too widely separated from all other particles. As pointed by Penrose, proton decay is a possibility contemplated in the Standard Model by various speculative extensions.

A main framework of the scientific method is the ability to disprove a theory, something which does not apply to this, which is thus not a scientific hypothesis about the universe, but as said, a philosophical, metaphysical belief.

[[File:Hawking.png]] Multiverse Theory[[File:Hawking.png]]
How many universes are there? Is there a universe, that is just expanding until it will inevitably die (aka our own Observable Universe) or is there one universe which has an infinite diameter? Or, are there more universes?

Well, I believe in the multiverse. Now, let's first begin with the definition of the multiverse: It is by definition, a hypothetical group of multiple universes. These universes comprise everything that exist, including time, space, matter, energy and the physical laws that are to describe them.

The multiverse has been hypothesized in many genres including Science Fiction, cosmology, physics etc. However, let's just get on with the point and why I personally support it as a metaphysical concept.

In my opinion, I believe that our universe, in its history since the beginning of the Big Bang, has had many collisions with other universes we may have not discovered, and will thus continue to have over its existence.

Owfism believes that the laws of physics that apply within our own universe are not to apply to the many other multiple universes as of the multiverse theory, and that the laws of physics we have here are only applicable to our own universe and if we are to somehow enter another universe we may have to discover how its physics work.

Owfism also believes that there are types of multiverses, however, unlike what Brian Greene, believes, he comes to reject the notion that there are only 9 types of multiverses, coming to the conclusion that there are probably an infinite amount of multiverses.

With this, the resulting thing is that there could very well be possibly infinite types of how physics in such multiverses could work, ranging from expansion, relativity etc.

Yet again, people are to be asking, how does this count as philosophical, (after all a famous advocate of this, Stephen Hawking said that philosophy is dead.) However, as said with conformal cyclic cosmology, we cannot prove through simple empiricism, which stands at the core of the scientific method that this is true or false.

Which thus, as a result, proves that this is merely a philosophical and thus metaphysical belief, as it concerns itself with the nature of the universe.

[[File:Cosmocracy.png]] Cyclic Theory [[File:Cosmocracy.png]]
Cyclic Theory is the main way Owfism seeks to combine the metaphysical beliefs of both conformal cyclical cosmology and the idea of the  multiverse theory, and how does Owfism seek to do this? Well:

Owfism believes that the properties use to prove Conformal Cyclic Cosmology (connecting to a sequence of open FLRW metric spacetimes) can be applied to the possibly infinite amounts of multiverses that are out there, despite the fact that they have their own laws of physics.

As such, through the cyclic theory Owfism seeks to combine conformal cyclic cosmology and the multiverse theory to create a new theory, that being well, cyclic theory. This cyclic theory according to Owfism is the only physical law that is abided by the infinity of universes out there.

[[File:Existentialism.png]] Existentialism [[File:Existentialism.png]]
There is no definitive and coherent meaning of life that can apply to all humans regardless of race, gender or nationality. Life is merely the thing that distinguishes a living thing from a non-living thing.

But, what does "life" actually mean? What do we say when we are talking about what your life is? Well, as said before, what you think is the meaning of life will naturally be different compared to someone else's as you lived a different life than them.

As such, I believe that the solution to the meaning of life is that, it is structured up by ourselves, the individual, in order to sum up all of the actions that said individual has done throughout his entire period of him being a living thing.

To simplify, the meaning of life is merely the meaning we want to give to it, even if another person may have a completely different meaning to life, this is merely based on their own perspectives and experiences one has faced in life.

This, is in line with the philosophy of existentialism, the philosophy which states that we, ourselves, create meaning to our own lives, and that there is no coherent meaning of life that is given to us by a higher being (God) or authority (Government).

[[File:Socrates.png]] Socratic Wisdom [[File:Socrates.png]]
People, not just on this site but also in the world in general, have many different views when it comes to the idea of wisdom, in fact, the meaning of  philosophy itself is the love of wisdom.

But what is, you say, true wisdom? What happens if humanity achieves wisdom? The answer can be found through Socrates and respectively Socratic philosophy.

The answer to the first question, (What is true wisdom?) true wisdom is when humanity recognizes that it is to know that it knows little about its own surroundings, including the universe.

Which is he believes philosophy seems to be so theoretical in nature, as it is merely a hypothesis about the truths that we do not know, which includes topics like the human mind, knowledge, the universe and other aspects.

[[File:Rene_Descartes_.png]] Cartesian Rationalism [[File:Rene_Descartes_.png]]
So, while most humans do not have wisdom and do not know of the fact that humans have little knowledge of their surroundings, it is still possible to gain knowledge, even if it is just by a tiny amount, and how do we do that?

Simple. Humans are taught to believe the truths of what they know so far through empirical evidence, and are not taught of the theoretical, the things we do not know if they are real, even if they could or could not be real.

For humans to achieve levels of knowledge that transcend the taught and into the abstract and unknown, Owfism believes that humans, at least once in their life hold a skeptical view of what they knew up to that point.

This was the solution proposed by French philosopher Rene Descartes, and according to Owfism, the rationalism proposed by Cartes is the main way to enhance human knowledge and possibly reach the level of  true wisdom.

With this, Owfism comes to reject empiricism, which states that experience is the source of all knowledge, and rather believes that the main source of all knowledge of a person is reason.

[[File:Kant.png]] Immanent Experience [[File:Kant.png]]
Tying to the above, Owfism also believes that humans have 3 ways that they are able to understand the world around them, those 3 ways being Understanding, Intuition and Reason. This is called immanent experience,

So, now, what is understanding? what is intuition and finally what is reason? What are all of these traits that humans use to understand the world? This shall be answered.

Understanding is the facility that allows us to comprehend things without having to resort to the usage of intuition, meanwhile Intuition is the sensory impression given to us by objects in the outside world. Finally, reason is the logical destination we are able to make off of the sensory impressions.

With this, Owfism believes that reason is the most important and is the source of knowledge, and as said above believes in Rationalism.

Now, why is reason the most important source of knowledge? Reason is how discoveries about the universe have been made, by doubting the current truth, which is not the complete truth and will never will be, a new truth is created and is ingrained in education.

While intuition is the thing which allows understanding and reason to blossom, without reason, knowledge does not blossom along with understanding and reason, and remains trapped in the "flower".

[[File:Philosophy.png]] Syllogism [[File:Philosophy.png]]
The main logical system of Owfism follows the idea of syllogism, now, Owfism, what is syllogism? What does it convey when it comes to systems of logic overall in society?

First, let's begin with the definition of logic itself, it is a form of reason conducted through principles of validity, or in philosophical terms, the study of valid inferences.

Now, we shall begin with the definition of Syllogism itself. Syllogism is a form of deductive reasoning based in logic and it is drawn based on two or more given premises with there being a middle term and then finally a conclusion to it.

Now, what are examples of Syllogism? Well, it is very simple to craft an example of how Syllogism works, now, let's begin: Let's say that I have a car (that is the first premise) and that I also have a fire extinguisher (that is the middle term). Now, what is the conclusion to this? That I have a car and a fire extinguisher.

[[File:Solipsism.png]] On Mind and Body [[File:Solipsism.png]]
What is the role of the mind? What is the role of the body? Is the mind and body separate or connected? These are the main questions in regard to the subject of the nature of being and there are many takes people believe in such as dualism or monism.

To solve the main essential questions shown above, we must first look on what the body and the mind are: The body is the physical structure of a man, which includes bones, muscles, bones, tissue, organs etc. While the mind is the way humans are aware of the world around them, through the mind humans can view the world through immanent experience.

Now, dualists, as the name suggests, believe that the mind and body are inherently separate, as that is the definition of dualism itself. While a famous form of dualism can be found in Cartesian dualism, it is also supported by other philosophies too ranging from Platoism to  Scholasticism.

However, in Owf's ontology, he comes to reject dualism and is in favor of monism, believing that the mind and body are not separate and are in fact connected. Why? Well, Owfism believes that by nature, what the human is actually just the brain, with him having a body as an addition.

As a result, Owfism believes that the mind and body do not conduct separate actions, and believes that the actions of humans, whether they are physical or mental kinds of action, are all done by the brain, without the brain, humans would become like what statues are: things that stand still.

Why? Because of the fact that without the brain, humans cannot conduct any tasks whether it would be talking or walking, as without the brain, the body would basically be just shut down, as it needs the brain to perform the actions it does on a day to day basis.

This, according to Owfism, debunks the idea of dualism as proposed by many philosophers in the past. As it is proof that the mind and body do not conduct separate actions, and rather, the body just conducts the actions of the mind.

Now, does this mean Owfism is determinist? No. First of all, let's define determinism. Determinism is the idea that everything we do is pre-determined by previous events or laws. However, I come to reject that in favor of Indeterminism.

As the name suggests, Owfism believes that the actions of the mind are not determined by previous events or natural laws and are in fact determined by ourselves and not previous events. As such, Owfism believes that free will is real.

The existence of free will can be proven, as he believes that people are the author of their own choices, with this, people are the ultimate cause of their own actions, and this holds up to be true, as free will exists we can conclude:

The fact that god doesn't exist, god is a determining figure and if people are allowed to play freely, then that means people have free will and thus god doesn't exist. Another way to say this is that the holy trinity contradicts itself thus god doesn't exist thus free will exists.

[[File:Histval.png]] Nature of History [[File:Histval.png]]
What is the nature of history? What comes to define who wrote history? Is it the individual or collective? There are many varying views of history and they have changed over time as time has passed.

First, let's take a look at the idea of dialectical materialism. It states that political and historical events are the result of conflict from social forces, with the conflict being caused by material needs. However, this idea isn't the only belief about the nature of history.

Keep in mind, dialectical materialism was never coined by Marx or  Engels. But rather, it was coined by Joseph Dietzgen.

Secondly, we have the cyclical view of history, which believes that everything in history will always repeat and is bound to repeat regardless of what humans do about it. This is a pretty simplistic view, which is why I haven't briefed too much about it.

There are more views and I am completely aware of that, however, I am not gonna go too much in depth.

Personally, I believe that history is written by individuals, believing that the reason why this is the case is because well, the written records of history only manage to persist through the writings of some individuals, whether it would be in  philosophy or in political theory.

While I don't believe that history was meant to be written by individuals, thanks to the creations of writing technologies, history has merely become something that individuals write and that it will be remembered upon over time spans.

Talking does not even last a year, meanwhile the written word can last centuries if well preserved, and the written word is always written down by individuals and not the masses. Which is why history has come to be individualistic in writing.

However, Owfism does believe there to be a struggle: A struggle between globalization or isolation. For most of human history, if one were to do good in society, that would require another person doing worse. This was through agrarianism and  mercantilism, systems which dominated in human history, up until the  industrial revolution.

However, inequality has not been completely eradicated in history, and inequality of outcome is still ever more relevant and it seems like globalization increased it. However, the main problem with globalization of today is that it is not done in human interests.

In history, inequality was driven by the human idea of isolation, the human idea of not globalizing, the human idea of compacting yourself into your own realm which would inevitably lead to inequality of outcome.

As such, Owfism comes to the conclusion that capitalists have co-opted globalization in order to continue suiting their needs and that socialism must use globalization to snatch it back to where it should be as a fundamental idea.

Owfism believes that a next phase is to follow, one which carries out human interests rather than capital interests, and he believes that this could allow the eventual eradication of inequality. literally Star Trek

This is while the next phase achieves space exploration and carries out globalization and interconnection to levels never before seen in human history so far.

Through this interpretation you could argue that Owfism is a dialectical materialist, as he believes that there is a struggle, however, he believes that it is not between social forces like the proletariat and bourgeoise but rather globalization and isolation, which could raise some ideas that Owfism is not a dialectical materialist.

(WIP)

[[File:Indiv.png]] Individual Rights [[File:Indiv.png]]
Owfism believes that to achieve human flourishing and have a good life, individuals should be free to do almost what they want, with them being able to know their limit before it is too late.

He believes that if society is permissive and allows individuals to do what they want and what they desire while also being  virtuous, not only a good life is guaranteed but also a good society, a great society to be exact.

[[File:Indlibsoc.png]] Individualism and Socialism [[File:Indlibsoc.png]]
Now, the question is, through what lens can we achieve the idea of individualism? Through which ideas we can have the individual feel free, not surveilled, not trampled? Through what the individual transmits it's individualism?

The lens in which we can achieve individualism is through socialism. Now how is this possible? Well, how can an individual express himself in capitalism when he is constraint to the idea of oppression, through working for someone seemingly as a slave, but paid a wage which does not even allow him to live life.

As such, work must be phased out in favor of automation, believing that work is a symptom of capitalism, while capitalism seems to have born by classical liberals, classical liberalism is merely a transformation of capitalism that has existed since the dawn of agriculture.

Classical liberalism was a transformation that was merely getting society closer to socialism, however, it was stopped by capitalists from achieving its main goal. And now, we're stuck with our current society.

Being a slave reduces man to a machine, the man is removed of thought and most importantly of freedom. Without thought, a human cannot feel freedom. And how can humans express thought? Through art. With this, art can be classified as individualism.

At work, humans are meant to act like machines, and they obviously will not be perfect, as humans have feelings and are human, so they make mistakes, so what's the point in hiring an animal with feelings to perform the work of a machine, when you can assign a machine to do it instead?

Owfism also believes that individualism is a symbol of resistance against authority, which mostly seeks to tear people apart through inequality thanks to the capitalist system that is engrained within our society of today. As capitalism of today is inherently collectivist.

Owfism also believes that there is another problem with capitalism: It tyrannizes habit. It has control over what humans do each its day, for example, most adults have to wake up and sleep at certain hours of a day just to be ready to perform some tasks imperfectly that could had been performed perfectly by a machine.

He believes that this is peak collectivism, and that through socialism we can liberate people from the hands of work, and bring them forth into a new era  individualism, one where art, philosophy and theory can blossom without the burden of work on the human mind.

[[File:Philosophy.png]] Philosophical Take on Work [[File:Philosophy.png]]
Now work, what is the idea of work? It is an activity which requires physical effort in order to achieve or to pursue a result. Work has many definitions, another one being a task that is to be undertaken.

Now, this is about the labour definition of work, and not the work about if an object is performing its duty or not. I hope that is at least the one thing that is clear.

Now, let's ask the question: Is work just paid slavery? This is a pretty interesting philosophical question, and there are many interpretations and views that a person could take, but first let's ask what is the definition of slavery.

Slavery is a condition in which one human was owned by another human, this does not seem to be like work right? Like, workers are not tied up to physical chains and forced to work day and night, yes, but work is merely just human-centric slavery if you call it that way.

But in the end, the human, the one that is working technically is working on behalf of another human, that is thus the owner, the owner of that business he works in. And now, specifically with the advent of machine technology that can be used a work, this can be said:

As said by Oscar Wilde, with him saying that "For what it seeks is to disturb monotony of type, slavery of custom, tyranny of habit, and the reduction of man to the level of a machine." Since work in big companies is basically just a version of slavery in which you get paid a wage that doesn't even cover your basic needs, this still applies.

Owfism believes that work is an idea which hinders humanity from pursuing their role as an individual, not allowing him to pursue what is to matter in life, instead leaving him, a human who makes mistakes and is thus imperfect to do the job of a machine who is perfect and does not have feelings or sentiments.

Work must only be done by machines, as machines increase productivity and efficiency overall, and are not subject to human emotions and mistakes, and thus allow products to be produced and tasks to be done quicker overall.

Now, humans will not have a stable source of income because of this, but this will be solved by a 1,000$/month UBI, which I will not explain as I have previously explained before this in politics.

[[File:Anticap.png]] Why Capitalism is Against Individualism [[File:Trustbust.png]]
This is a rather hot take, now, Owfed, how is  Capitalism against  individualism? Simple. Let's first begin with the Classical liberal principles of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. These are all principles which sum up individualism, right? And to that I say yes, they are. However, capitalism has created a system of monopolization, which disincentivizes competition and thus disincentivizes freedom.

Capitalism in the modern world not only serves as completely against any form of business competition, which hinders economic freedom, it also oppresses workers and prevents them from unionizing and ensuring that they have their own self-management and freedom. This is in turn gives the Capitalists control over their workers, going against Individualism.

Capitalism, through worker oppression, through surveillance of the individual in basically every place he is in, whether in the supermarket or on the internet, through refusal to allow workers to have their own self-management, to not protecting workers from workplace harm, Capitalism right now goes against the 3 principles of Classical Liberalism, and is thus  anti-individualist.

[[File:Libms.png]] An Alternative [[File:Clib.png]]
We must transcend classical liberalism while still maintaining principles (Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness). How do we do that? Simple. A solution can already be found through Libertarian Market Socialism.

Libertarian Market Socialism ensures all the three principles are respected: Life (people are to live free from harm), Liberty (people are to be able to enjoy life) and the Pursuit of Happiness (people are to pursue their passions). This as such allows Libertarian Market Socialism to maintain the 3 principles of  Classical Liberalism.

Thus, achieving a society where Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness are truly respected, with people having a right to life, a right to liberty and a right to pursue happiness. This could mean that Owfism is a Liberal Socialist, at least in the historiographical form.

[[File:Constructivist.png]] Human Character [[File:Constructivist.png]]
Owfism is inherently constructivist, believing that the way humans act and understand the world are tied down to their own socio-economic conditions that they have been born with, rejecting  essentialism, which views individuals based on inherent, born traits.

The main reason why blacks for example are paid less than whites or why they are poorer than whites is not down to the traits they have as an individual when they are born, but by the socio-economic conditions they have, as they have been proven to change when those improved.

Owfism also believes that societal action often turns out to be more important than individual action, contrary to essentialist views of society that everything can just be solved by individuals "not being lazy". With problems like climate change contradicting this individual action is the right way in everything.

[[File:Žižekism.png]] On Capitalist Realism [[File:Acidcomf.png]]
This is a pretty interesting book, more specifically the book, Capitalist Realism written by Mark Fisher. Now, what does it try to tell? Well, that capitalism has become the only viable system and that nothing can be imagined as an alternative.

Another thing that has been attributed in relation to this book is the infamous quote from Žižek: "It is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism."

Now, there are some, actually good arguments to say in favor of this book like: Self-proclaimed "revolutionaries" buying sweatshop-made Che Guevara T-shirts or modern  China becoming more capitalist after  Deng Xiaoping.

However, capitalism is not unique, and even if it seems completely inserted within everything we do, it will manage to disappear just like how it has been with systems of the past. Like Feudalism or  Absolute Monarchism. (The latter still exists, but it is clear that it has been eradicated from the Western world.)

In the 17th century, French Philosopher Rene Descartes,  asserted that a monarchy was the natural system of government and thus the natural order. Even enlightenment thinkers like Voltaire also believed that [monarchy was the right form of government.

As we can see, even thinkers, who were considered revolutionary at the time, like Cartes and Voltaire, still operated within the systems of Absolute monarchy, and now, with the exception of the Gulf countries, is basically non-existent.

This seems to be the same situation with thinkers like Bernie Sanders or  Jeremy Corbyn, while they may be operating under the framework of the system that is at the status quo, capitalism are thus only paving the way for more revolutionary thinkers, just like how  Cartes and Voltaire did.

This is not a debunking of capitalist realism, however, it can be interpreted as one.

And heck, this idea of the status quo system being so ingrained within society wasn't just a hurdle with liberalism, but in history, it has also seemed to be a hurdle to Socialists too, more specifically,  Utopianism.

The case we are gonna take a look at is the 16th century book, Utopia, written by Thomas More and of slavery.

In the book, More affirms about stuff that are considered even radical to this day, like an uuniversal basic income, abolition of private property etc. However it is ingrained into the system, more specifically, the system of western slavery.

Thomas More affirms that slavery is natural and is part of life, in a book that can be considered socialist in nature in most aspects. It is not just socialism of today being held back by  capitalism but so it was back then with slavery.

Slavery has disappeared in the western world, yes, while it has not disappeared in Africa and Asia, with it being higher there, or the fact that you could consider, philosophically, that work is slavery, which I do, however, by Slavery I am meaning unpaid slavery, like before 1865 in the US.

So yea it is historically proven that, revolutionary thinkers are still confined within the bounds of their own system, but that's not necessarily because the system has become permanent like how it is said in Fisher's book, but rather because it is always hard to imagine the future in general, as it is always bound to the present regardless of how you think.

In conclusion: The main thing which makes thinkers, even those that are called revolutionary thinkers of their time fall into ideas of their present, like racism or  slavery is because of the  zeitgeist, the invisible agent which dominates characteristics of an historical era. Not that the system has become permanent.

[[File:HegelianPhilosophy.png]] Zeitgeist [[File:HegelianPhilosophy.png]]
Now, what is a zeitgeist? The zeitgeist is the spirit of the age, or the age-spirit. It is widely known because of G.W.F Hegel but it was itself created as a term by J.W Gothe or J.G Herder.

The zeitgeist affirms that there is an invisible agent which dominates the characteristics of a certain age in world history, this is thus in contrast to the Great Man Theory.

Now, zeitgeist can easily be applied in an historical sense, let's take a look at an historical example, of a great thinker, let's say we are talking about Immanuel Kant and his beliefs.

Now, Immanuel Kant had many beliefs, whether it would be metaphysical, epistemological or ethical philosophies, and do not get me wrong. Kant is a pretty influential thinker. However, politically, he was a racist. Now, people of today, because of the modern epoch's zeitgeist, would obviously refer to him as a misguided person.

However, the reason why Kant was a racist was because of his epoch's zeitgeist. Keep in mind, Kant operated and thought under the epoch of his time, that being (mostly) the 18th century. Racism, in the 18th century, while misguided in today's zeitgeist, was fairly normal in the zeitgest of Kant's era.

Thus if Kant had been a 21st century philosopher, he may have mostly likely not be so keen on racism, because of the zeitgeist which surrounds the modern 21st century and this era.

[[File:Virtue_ethics_icon.png]] Virtue Ethics [[File:Virtue_ethics_icon.png]]
To begin with this section, we first have to define what ethics are. What does it actually mean? In the simplest of terms, ethics are moral principles which govern a person's behavior or conducting of an ability.

Through ethics, a person is able to conclude if an action is in accordance with their moral principles (thus to be conducted) or it is not (thus it is not conducted).

Now, what is the best form of ethics (according to me)? The most ideal form of ethics is virtue ethics. Now, we have established what ethics are but what is virtue? What is it to be virtuous? Virtue is a behavior which shows high moral standards.

To Owfism, virtue is the ideal traits that are to be shown by individuals, believing that a virtuous man is a good man. A man who is not corrupt, a man who can be trusted to conduct proper action when it comes to a certain topic.

Owfism believes that while it is constructivist in the idea that humans have different traits based on socio-economic conditions, it believes that virtue is an ideal to be pursued by anyone, as it is a golden middle between excessive pleasure and no pleasure.

While it believes the idea of what is to be a virtuous man vary, according to Owfism, these 4 are the most important virtues a human can compel and have as moral principles:

- Courage (The ability to have confidence in yourself)

- Justice (The ability to give credit where its deserved)

- Friendship (The ability to form bonds with others)

- Judgement (The ability to be open-minded)

Through this, Owfism seeks to combine stoic virtues and  aristotelian virtues, forming the basis of Owf's moral principles in general.

The main important role of virtue in its ethics is that it seeks to find a golden middle between excessive usage of all of these traits and the non-usage of any of these. Owfism sees virtue as an important moral middle ground which thus allows a person to live a good life on the right principles.

Through this, Owfism opposes hedonism, which it believes  it has excessive courage, justice and friendship while having no judgement, thus making it completely non-virtuous. While pessimism it believes has no courage, justice, friendship and also no judgement. Basically the opposite of hedonism, except for wisdom.

As such, with this, virtue can easily be viewed as a golden middle between those two unorthodox extremes of society, as it believes that those two are bad moral principles for a person to follow in life and it makes them miss opportunities when they come.

Another thing about virtue ethics is that each of the following 4 virtues are to thus be viewed as a golden middle between two unorthodox extremes, as such Owfism believes that there are also 4 vices, the opposite of virtues in society, another way to interpret this are through excesses, means and deficiency:


 * EXCESSES: Rashness, Clinginess, Favoritism, Cynicism
 * MEANS: Courage, Friendship, Justice, Judgement
 * DEFICIENCY: Cowardice, Animosity, Grievance, Gullibility

With this, in an ethical sense, Owfism thus believes that humans should pursue the following golden means, those means being essentially a balance between the excesses and deficiencies within our society, a virtuous human is one which knows how to balance them, one which follows the means.

[[File:Eudaimonia.png]] Eudaimonia [[File:Eudaimonia.png]]
Now, another main ethics idea of Owfism is the idea of human flourishing, this being famously known as the idea of Eudaimonia. Now, the question is, what is to have human flourishing? What is to have Eudaimonia? While these are the same question, they both raise an important point.

To know what is eudaimonia we must first establish what is F, with F being virtue or pleasure. As such, eudaimonia is to have virtue and pleasure. With this, Owfism is eudaimonistic in its own thinking in this broad sense of the word.

While hedonist philosophers tend to equate Eudaimonia to pleasure, the fundamental truth about Eudaimonia it believes is the aretaic form, the form that emphasizes that human flourishing is not just to have pleasure, but to also be virtuous.

We have established what is to be virtuous, with there being 4 virtues: Courage, Justice, Friendship and Wisdom. Meanwhile, to have pleasure is pretty easy really to define and as such will not define it myself.

With this, Owfism asserts the idea that Eudaimonia is the highest phase of human life, believing it is thus the phase of a truly great life, and to have it, you are to be able to balance both  virtue and  pleasure, believing both are to be equally important and to be held to the same regard.

As such, Owfism's political beliefs mentioned in the section above philosophy all ties down to the idea that society should allow human flourishing (Eudaimonia) to truly occur, believing that Owf's political ideas follow the idea of Eudaimonia, as it ensures a great life for humans, as it makes everyone treated fairer.

[[File:Mill.png]] Harm Principle [[File:Mill.png]]
Another main idea in Owf's ethics is an idea proposed by John Stuart Mill called the Harm Principle. With the Harm Principle, Owfism believes that while freedom is good, it is to have a limit.

Now, what is the definition of harm? This is the main question when bringing up the idea of such principle as the Harm Principle. In simple terms, harm is something that would injure the rights of someone else or something.

Now, what is an example of harm? What qualifies as harm? An example of harm would not just be a physical hit to the face or body by someone else, however. An example of harm is when a person refuses to pay taxes, taxes which will go to helping the country or the citizens through infrastructure projects or government assistance.

A main criticism of the harm principle is it's vagueness in its definition of itself, with the main question being what exactly qualifies as harm under the harm principle? Now, we are going to respond to that.

First of all, this principle only requires to people who are able to exercise their freedom in a responsible manner. Here's an example: Paternalism (parents taking care of their children) is acceptable when it comes to children, since they are not to be able to exercise freedoms properly while for adults this is completely intolerable behavior.

A harmful event is only harmful if it makes an individual worse off overall, there are different ways this can happen, which is why there are different comparative amounts of harm.

With this, the state can only intervene on people's liberty if they pose as a harm to other people, however, thanks to Owf's political beliefs, this is very limited in scope and will not really be all that frequent, thus society still being mostly libertarian, however not absolute libertarian.

I could go on, but I am just gonna stop here since I've already mentioned mostly enough aspects.

Philosophy of War
The philosophy of war is the philosophy devoted to examining issues such as the causes of war, the correlation between human nature and war but also the ethical idea of war.

[[File:Tao.png]] Warfare [[File:Tao.png]]
Now, what is Owf's belief when it comes to warfare, what is his theory of war, well, this probably will not be a surprising belief as it is the main belief followed by historical figures like Napoleon.

The belief that I am talking about is Taoist warfare is created by Sun Tzu, now first we must find what Taoism is. Taoism is thus the philosophy of Lao Tzu which is in advocacy of humility and religious piety.

However, that is not the form of Taoism I support and it does not have to do with warfare. As such, I come to support the ideas of Sun Tzu when it comes to the concept of warfare.

Let's begin with how generals should act. As said by Sun Tzu, a good general is to not attack in open battle, but to be a hidden position, so as to terrorize the men while barely inflicting harm upon yourself.

With this, Owfism believes in Sun Tzu's 13 chapters in laying out the plans for a war, which goes as follows, in accordance with the Art of War (disclaimer: there are many interpretations and translations of the chapter names, however, we are to be using the 1988 from R.L Wing):
 * I - The Calculations (Explore the five fundamental factors: The Way, Seasons, Terrain, Leadership and Management) (The Way - absolute principle in the universe)
 * II - The Challenge (How to understand the economy of warfare and how to win quickly)
 * III - Plan of Attack (The source of strength is unity, not size and explains the critical factors: Attack, Strategy, Army, Alliance and Cities)
 * IV - Positioning (The explanation to the importance of defending existing positions until it is possible to advance out of those positions)
 * V - Directing (The explanation to the creativity and timing of building the momentum of an army)
 * VI - Illusion and Reality (The explanation to how an army's openings caused by relative weaknesses of the enemy and the response to changes in the battlefield)
 * VII - Engaging the Force (The dangers of direct conflict and how to win such situations)
 * VIII - The Nine Variations (The need of flexibility in the answers of an army)
 * IX - Moving The Force (The different situations in which an army finds itself in and how to respond to them)
 * X - Situational Positioning (Look at the three areas of gen. resistance: distance, dangers and barriers and the 6 ground positions that are to arise from those 3 areas)
 * XI - The Nine Situations (Describes the nine common stages in a campaign from scattering to deadly)
 * XII - The Fiery Attack (The general use of weapons and the specific environment to use a weapon)
 * XIII - The Use of Intelligence (The importance of developing good information & espionage systems)

A good general shall thus be able to be sincere, self-disciplined and that he must be the one who knows the art of war so that he can execute his plan. Now though, what does it take to win a battle? What is the key ideas in winning a battle?

As said in Sun Bin's Art of War, Chapter 5 - Selection of best soldiers there are 5 main factors which are to lead to the path of constant victory in every battle:


 * The commander who has won the sovereign's trust and has independent command will win.
 * The one who knows the art of war will win.
 * The one who gets uniform support from his soldiers will win.
 * The one whose subordinates work in concert with each other will win.
 * The one who is good at analyzing and utilizing terrain will win.

The same chapter also mentions that there are 5 corollaries that are to always lead to constant defeat:
 * The one whose command is constrained by the sovereign will be defeated.
 * The one who does not know the art of war will be defeated.
 * The one who does not have the support of his soldiers will be defeated.
 * The one whose subordinates do not work in harmony will be defeated.
 * The one who does not know to use spies will be defeated.

While yes, these are not exactly said by Sun Tzu, and are instead said by Sun Bin. Overall though, Owfism emphasizes both the war philosophy of Sun Tzu and Sun Bin as key to prevailing in conflict.

[[File:Necon.png]] The Cause of War [[File:Cball-China.png]]
What is the cause of war? What causes war? That is the main question that is related to the topic of war. The essential cause of the war itself.

Well, you can just look to the "pretexts" of wars and just say: Oh! that is the cause of the war! But in my opinion, that is completely wrong. The pretext of the war not only completely ignores the main cause of the war, but also the build-up that led to the cause of the war.

In my opinion, the reason for all wars in history and present has always been purely geopolitical in nature. While pretexts may say otherwise, wars have always been for a geopolitical purpose, whether it was to expand a nation's influence on the world stage or to gather new resources the invading nation does not have.

It always ties down to geopolitics in Owf's opinion. However, there is something more fundamental at play, which leads to the next section:

[[File:Antinat.png]] A Warfare Case for Anti-Nationalism [[File:Antinat.png]]
Why does geopolitics always cause wars? Well, there is something at play possibly more important than geopolitics. That is the idea of a nation state. The nation state has always existed since the dawn of the first civilization.

However, as history shows, the rise of the first nation state did not immediately began the first war. So that clearly means that the idea of a nation state has embroiled itself into the cause of wars over time. But why?

The answer is simple, according to Owfism, the inevitable birth of geopolitics by the  nation state, gave rise to the first wars. Why? It's because civilization leaders realized that if they had influence over another nation, they could gain resources they couldn't possibly dream to have here. So, how they gained resources they didn't have? By either conquering or influencing other nations into giving them their resources.

If they don't comply, then a nation would declare war at the non-complying nation and invade it, and this would be the norm for basically many centuries, but not just for resources, but for many other things that are tied to geopolitics.

But, something happened after the end of the Cold War that changed everything: That was globalization. After globalization began to be put into effect, wars that were nation invading another nation became rare if not non-existent, and the wars that were a thing were purely internal wars or civil wars.

The number of casualties in wars has basically decreased to a level never seen before. And this was technically thanks to globalization and opening up in trade, as a war now has consequences for not just the nation being invaded, but also the invader. Through sanctions.

However, as we saw in Ukraine, sanctions are not enough to stop the idea of a nation to nation conflicts and the game of  geopolitics continues to rage on. Which means there is a more fundamental problem at play. That being the nation state.

So, what is the alternative? Well, a united world federation could provide the answer. Such federation would basically abolish not just the nation state but also the need for  geopolitics.

What's the point of fighting over resources or gaining more influence if there is only one nation and there being all kinds of resources because well, its the entire planet under the control of a World Federation. Well, it could be entirely possible that war as a concept may cease to exist, or even be very limited.

[[File:Pragmat.png]] Realpolitik [[File:Mach.png]]
What is Realpolitik? That is the question that springs up to your mind. Real politics is based on practical ideas and not ideological beliefs, this is the reason why ideologies like Communism  have never become a thing or even got close to being a thing.

It is because the people have been convinced by the rulers into believing the things that are practical and not the things that are ideal. People no longer have the pursuit of the idea, but the pursuit of what can be done, what can be done right now, and not fall to moral dogmas.

Why do people want to rule? This is a pretty interesting question, and the main idea is the incentive of power. Power is the driving incentive of rulers and is the way the State has managed to stay for so long and how it will stay for so long. It is the idea of power, the idea to truly stand out among the rest of society, to go down in history, whether it is good or bad.

This is why ideologies like Third Way have become the dominant forces of the Left, instead of  Communism, as the Third Way is deemed the more practical and more realistic ideology to the populace, while Socialism is seen as some utopian idea, an impossible task.

[[File:RomSto.png]] Citizenship [[File:RomSto.png]]
Owfism believes that by nature, humans have two citizenships: Citizenship to their homeland and to the  world. And with this, came two sets of responsibilities: Responsibility to your homeland and responsibility to the world.

As such, Owfism follows a belief that is closer to the ideas of Roman Stoic Marcus Aurelius.

[[File:Cosmo.png]] Globalization [[File:Cosmo.png]]
Owfism, on diplomacy is firmly a cosmopolitan, believing that, globalization is a natural process and it has been shown over history as human civilization has become ever more interconnected, today being more interconnected than it ever was before, with Owfism subscribing to  cosmopolitan international theories.

Globalization right now may have barriers but it can overcome them and the world can become even more globalized, this rise in globalization could potentially give rise to Liberal democracy in previously autocratic countries.

[[File:Liberal_Democracy.png]] Virtuous and Corrupt Governments [[File:Oligarchy.png]]
Owfism believes that a government to be good it must be virtuous, this applies to any form of government and is not relegated to Democracy. Over history, it has been very clear that the governments which were popular, the governments which delivered good results were the governments who had virtue.

So, Owfism do you support Stoic virtues or  Aristotelian virtues? And personally, I support Aristotelian virtues. Owfism believes that the virtues of Wisdom, Justice and Friendship are the main driving forces that allow a government to be virtuous, and a government cannot be virtuous if one of them isn't there.

Good examples of virtuous forms of governments are:  Democracy,  Direct Democracy,  Monarchy and  Security (authoritarianism).

In rest, if one of the virtues or all of the virtues are not there then the government is not virtuous. It is thus a corrupt government.

Examples of corrupt forms of governments are: Oligarchy, Ochlocracy,  Tyranny and  Autocracy.

=Aesthetics=

1. Solarpunk

Owfism subscribes to Solarpunk aesthetics, with these types of aesthetics being used on planets, more specifically, habitable planets in the Goldilocks zone of their own Solar System. With architecture including lots of greenery and emits little if not no CO2 as things are basically electrified, powered on the power of the sun or other renewable powers.

2. Atompunk

This type of aesthetics is used on housing in international space stations, with cities being designed and powered based on the idea of fusion power (In the long-term) or just modern fission power in the short and medium term. These energy sources have little to no CO2 and as such everything will be eco-friendly too.

3. Lunarpunk

This type of aesthetics is used on housing placed on the moon, houses will also be powered by the Sun and other sources of  renewable energy. Houses on the moon will follow the idea of Lunarpunk and fit in with the aesthetic of the Lunar surface.

Yes these are all based according to me.

Most Democrats are just in the hands of corporate pockets and are GOP-lite. Only Sanders and other American progressive democrats are really keeping me from not hating it completely like the GOP.
 * [[File:USAGOP.png]] American Republicanism - The GOP is literally a far-right party, it is easily seen by the January 6th insurrection, the GOP-dominated Supreme Court. When the Democrats have a narrow majority in Congress, the GOP does everything to prevent the Democrats from doing actually good actions, and as such, their actions are limited and barely undo previous GOP nonsense laws. Then in the midterms they take over Congress and implement laws which practically undo all the good Democrats implemented.
 * [[File:PSD.png]] - Very bad Romanian political party, the only remotely good thing is their economics I guess, however, their massive amounts of corruption and very terrible social policies and religion policies just makes them worse.

How could we do any international-related stuff?
 * I like your support of Democratic Socialism and Market Socialism, but do not like your support of Marxism-Leninism and Dengism. Please tone that down.

 * [[File:InexistentIcon.png]] Inexistent Ideology First off it is nice that you like Socialism, Henry George and Theodore Roosevelt. However though I think you take Socialism way too far and while Transhumanism is based I think it is also too extreme. Also cool it down with the Europhobia. Also far too authoritarian for me.
 * [[File:Ultro.png]] Ultroneism I really cannot judge your political beliefs, since well, you literally do not have any. I am gonna judge your philosophical beliefs, first off, I really do not like your opposition to humanism, I also do not like Egoism. I am not that well versed in Hegelianism, Heracliteanism, Nominalism and Post-Modernism to really give a proper opinion on those. Although, to be fair, you managed to make me abandon the fourth Aristotelian cause concept and you are also probably the most literate and informed user out here.

 * [[File:Thanat.png]] Thanatism - Your free speech and love for freedom are very tolerable, but your very capitalist economics, egoism, pro-life stance on abortion and support of Objectivism is just terrible. Restricting abortion just restricts people of their liberty, and the free market restricting/regulating the use of drugs is just laughable. With this, the free market will just become a state of its own and just make the state come back, the very thing you sought to die. I could continue to go on about your ideology, but I am just gonna stop here since its already taking up a lot of space.
 * [[File:NekoqingBolsh.png]] Nekoqingist Bolshevism - It's nice that you support Market Socialism, but your support for [[File:AuthSoc.png]] authoritarian socialist figures kinda conflicts with that. Your cultural policies are pretty terrible, your opposition to [[File:Indiv.png]] individualism is terrible. You support eco-socialism, but I hate how you only reserve it to developed countries. Your support for [[File:XiJinpingThoughtf.png]] him I also hate, overall a pretty terrible ideology.
 * [[File:Vermaatism2.png]] Vermaatism - (Sorry for forgetting to add you, kind of overlooked your comment for such a time) First of all, you claim to support [[File:Indiv.png]] individualism, however through post-humanism, ethnopluralism and totalitarianism you just are completely contradictory to the idea of individualism. You love world federalism, space and science, UBI is based but overall your ideology ain't that good imo.

S
Aristotle - Syllogism and virtue ethics are all very based! Truly one of the best philosophers ever in my opinion and also a huge influence on my philosophy. While yes you had your flaws like the 5 elements and geocentrism, those were merely because of your time or a zeitgeist.

Franklin D. Roosevelt - One of the best U.S Presidents ever. The New Deal is pretty based and you are probably the only  democratic socialist president in the United States. Although, leave those japanese people alone, they're not imperialists.

- I like Stephen Hawking, the multiverse theory is something I personally support (in my metaphysical beliefs) and I just love science in general. Pretty funny how you said philosophy was dead but your multiverse theory is philosophical in nature

- Advocated for probably the best form of individualism in my opinion. Proof that Socialism can be individualist.

A
Socrates - The founder of Western philosophy itself. Your epistemological beliefs are pretty based, although your approach to skepticism ain't that good to me, I prefer  Cartesian skepticism instead, but still good philosopher overall.

- You really contributed to the Enlightenment and all, which gave birth to modern Democracy, which I obviously support, but come on, rigging the lottery is bad.

B
Immanuel Kant - Your epistemological beliefs about the way humans perceive the world is pretty correct in my opinion, and you contributed at least a bit to the Enlightenment but, please, stop being so  racist.

C
Friedrich Nietzsche - Your metaphysics about eternal recurrence are really good in my opinion but that's like the only good thing about you, and you may or may not have given rise to the Third Reich.

Rene Descartes - Your views on skepticism are pretty based, but in rest, I have literally no other point that I agree with you, an example being the dualism you believe in.

D
- Your liberalization and thaw that happened under your administration were based, your virgin lands campaign was eh, decent, but I hate your intervention in Hungary against Imre Nagy, your state atheism and opposition to  worker co-operatives.

F
- Evil dictator, who tried to put the entirety of Europe (and possibly the world) under his messed up beliefs. You also started WW2, what would become the most deadly war in the history of mankind, if only they accepted you to that art school

Plato - Your political beliefs are messed up, so are your beliefs about the human body, along with your metaphysics and also your idea of philosopher kings is terrible. Truly a terrible philosophy. Eh, at least you later embraced virtue ethics, but it doesn't make up for your terrible shit.

 * - Mind/Body issue is a problem of substance and thus ontology, Heliocentrism & Universal Attraction is physics not metaphysics (Also universal attaraction is outdated), Immanent realism is awful and fails to account for Individuation. Syllogism is Logic not epistemology. Individual rights, nature of history, and anti-capitalism, harm principle, constructivism is not ontology, it is political or sociological. Ontology is the structure of reality, i.e. if things are abstract or concrete, or they are universal or particular, or whether substances are grounded, etc. Harm principle is too vague to actually dictate anything, Nihilism is not pessimism. I could go on...
 * [[File:OwfBall.png]] Owfism - I had just begun to revamp my page after I had changed my beliefs due to becoming more informed, I have abandoned Immanent realism and have now mentioned in heliocentrism that it is not philosophy and thus I have stop mentioning further about it, I will flesh up the others soon, but right now I am busy with real life stuff and I will also reply to the harm principle criticism later too.


 * - The syllogism as a method of deduction cannot possibly "debunk" the holy trinity. Especially as Aristotelian logic was the cornerstone of medieval Christian Philosophy. Your "contradiction" would also then hold for the evening star, which is not the morning star, but both are Venus, so thus Venus is contradictory and oxymoronic. Doesn't work does it. The Trinity does not state that they are not each other, that would be tritheism, that there is not a unity in the trinity. They are not 3 seperate things or even names for the different things but a complex unity.
 * [[File:OwfBall.png]] Owfism - I am not really the most knowledgeable on the holy trinity, so that could have been a mistake on my part, and I probably should have been more considerate of that.
