Oikoism

Oikoism is a libertarian  and culturally  traditionalist ideology that wishes to abolish the state and any involuntary impositions with it in order to reduce governance to individual households managed by the traditional family unit.

Beliefs
The idea of reducing governance to such a unit is advocated in ideologies such as, and is thereby similar to that ideology. However, Oikoism is not necessarily anti-capitalist per se, as Distributism is, and advocates for very little, if any, governance outside the home and family itself. Based heavily on the oikos of Ancient Greece, Oikoism not only champions the family, but the property and house thereof as well. As such, he strongly defends the right of private property, similar to the theory of  and similar lines of thought. He also advocates traditional gender roles, fancying the father as the head, protector, and breadwinner; and the mother as the manager, nurturer, and caretaker. As a libertarian and anarchist, of course, Oikoism doesn't wish this worldview to be enforced or imposed upon society, as it was in the ancient times whereon it is built, but he does idealize it. With family property comes family farms and commerce as well, ideally in the traditional, Greek agora style. This leads to a free-market anarchist stance. Oikoism upholds the right of inheritance usually to his favorite son, and the upbringing of future oikos.

Variants
A generally traditional ideology, Oikoism has several religious forms, including but not limited to:
 * [[File:OikosChrist.png]] Christian Oikoism, based on the [[File:Christy.png]] Christian familial unit, is generally comprised of one husband, one wife, and children (though extended family may occasionally be included, especially parents of a spouse). Divorce is generally looked upon harshly in general circumstances. There must be mutual love and respect in the marriage, but the father is generally to be submitted to as the head of the household and property. However, the father also must love his wife "as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her." The father should provide for his family or "he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever." Though the wife is not prohibited from providing for her family as well, it isn't her burden.
 * [[File:OikosAllah.png]] Islamic Oikoism, based on the foundations of the family in [[File:Muslim_2.png]] Islam and the Quran. Similar to its Christian counterpart, the father is predominantly tasked with the realm of providing for his family, whereas the wife is tasked with the home. However, the family is often more extended. The elderly especially are to be cared for with kindness, mercy, and dignity. Some would practice polygyny, though polyandry is prohibited.
 * [[File:OikosAbba.png]] Jewish Oikoism, based on [[File:Zio.png]] Jewish family structure and traditions. Like its Abrahamic counterparts, Jewish Oikoism believes the religious family units to be the building-blocks of society, with Jewish law and tradition complementing it. The mother and father are to provide for their children's every needs, the mother is to care for the household, and the father is to lead it. Both parents are to be role models for their children and each other. Jewish law, including those such as the Sabbath, life events, and clothing, are to be respected and observed as well.
 * [[File:OikosKrishna.png]] Hindu Oikoism, with its basis in [[File:Hindutva.png]] Hinduism and the traditions thereof. Hindu Oikoism similarly believes the family unit to be central and highly important, though much more broad, including the extended family. Those born into a Hindu household are to follow the four ashramas via practicing dharma appropriate to their stage of life. The second ashrama, or stage of life, grihastha, embodies the married, family-central life wherein the home is maintained, children educated, and dharma respected.

Other variants may include polygamy, matriarchy, or same-sex marriage, though these would be more rare considering the general traditionalism of the ideology. It should be noted that, as an anarchist ideology, any variant must remain entirely anarchistic and voluntaryist and lacking of any involuntary impositions upon society (except for the children, that would be wacky!).

History
Oikoism was devised in reverse-engineering the terminological process of, in the naming of ideologies based on terms important in Greek society. As Agorism was developed and then named after Greek agora, Oikoism was named after Greek oikos.

Personality and Behavior
Oikoism has a fascination with Ancient Greek society, though shies away from supporting any statism that went with it. He tries to hang out with Agorism, his "Ancient Greek buddy", but their cultural values often compete.

How to Draw

 * 1) Draw a ball.
 * 2) Draw a traditional anarchist slash (from the top right to the bottom left) in a lighter shade of black across the ball so not to blur the line between it and the outline.
 * 3) Fill the right side with the same lighter black and fill the other side with an ocean-blue-like color. Add a religious symbol if desired.
 * 4) Add eyes.
 * 5) Το τέλος.
