To Summarize, I'm a Democratic Socialist,  Progressive,  Eco-Socialist, and  Left-Social Democrat. I call myself those ideological labels specifically because they are all labels I would use to describe my politics in the real world when people ask me what I am (but I usually call myself a Progressive because my political views in the American political environment are  Socially Progressive and  Economically Progressive and I generally agree with American self-described Progressives like  ',  ,  ',  ',  , and   ' and movements like  ',  Congressional Progressive Caucus, and  ' to name a few). In essence, I want a society where everyone can live a dignified existence. I want to transition into a Social Democracy with an orientation towards  Cooperatives to help material conditions in the short term. Then I want to, if necessary and possible, gradually transition into Democratic Socialism with a  Mixed Market Socialist economy made up of mostly  Cooperative,  Mutual, and  Municipal businesses with some  Public and  Small to Medium sized businesses in a  Regulated Market. I also strongly advocate for Environmentalism, I believe that unchecked Capitalism is eating the earth alive with wasteful resource extraction and consumption and that in the process of building a better society, we must also stop climate change. So for me, the road to Democratic Socialism isn't just about improving lives it's also about ensuring our survival. I believe that everyone regardless of identity should be Equal in opportunity and socially and that as a society we should abide by the  Harm Principle and a general philosophy of  Inclusion while preserving Harmless Cultural and Traditional Practices. I believe in a Semi-Direct Democratic Republic where people's votes and referendums actually count unlike the current American "Democracy". I also want to see Neo-Imperialism done away with and replaced with Global Cooperation and Democratic Self Determination.

Cooperative Socialism.png]] {{Bold
wants to establish an economy that is humane but also realistic. He sees that every system has flaws and seeks a system with the least flaws and most flexibility. He wants an economy that minimizes exploitation and maximizes happiness, so he believes in an economy that resembles a fusion of social democracy, and  market socialism, with some  georgist,  distributist, and  cybersocialist characteristics. Overall his economic structure could be described as Market Socialist-Social Democracy. He believes that cooperatives are the best form of business as they reduce exploitation and  give workers the MOP, but he also sees how economies that lack diversity struggle. So to mitigate this he believes that while a sizable part of the economy would be mutually or cooperative run, there would be some  nationalization like in the case of essential services like medicine, electricity, infrastructure, housing, etc as well as a part of the economy being run by  small/medium-sized private businesses. He is pro-market but sees how unpredictable they are, so to prevent market instability he believes in some  regulation by the government as well as a sizable  welfare state. And if possible have a computer program similar to Allende's Cybersyn to work alongside the market help regulations and recourse allocation to make up for shortages and crashes. He is sympathetic to Guilds but prefers  Unions because they are already in place and have worked even in recent years for protecting workers' rights and allowing people themselves to regulate business. He doesn't just support worker's unions but also Tenant Unions and Housing Cooperatives as a means of decreasing eviction and homelessness. He is strongly against outsourcing labour and believes in a policy of protectionism to keep businesses in the country and prevent them from exploiting developing countries. He also believes that cooperative/mutual enterprises should be encouraged, promoted, and supported by local governments. He believes that as well as local programs another way to strengthen and build co-ops is through Cooperative Federations/Alliances similar to the  Evergreen Cooperatives. These Alliances would support cooperatives from their launch and would help fund and support them in creating democratic workplaces.

When it comes to taxation he advocates for:


 * [[File:EconProg.png]] Progressive Tax/Wealth Tax


 * [[File:Envi.png]] Carbon Tax


 * [[File:Regulationism.png]] Sales Tax


 * [[File: Socgeo.png]] Land Value Tax


 * [[File:Social Meritocracy.png]] Inheritance Tax (For the wealthy)

supports and advocates economic policies similar to:


 * [[File:Green Party (US).png]] Green New Deal


 * [[File:LaFollete.png]] The Wisconsin Idea


 * [[File:sewersoc.png]] The Cleveland Model


 * [[File:Socdem.png]] Economic Bill of Rights


 * [[File:LibSocDemIcon.png]] UBI


 * [[File:FDRismF.png]] The New Deal


 * [[File:SwedenSocDem.png]] Rehn–Meidner Model

Eco-Cooperativism-small.PNG]] {{Bold
In the case of the Climate Crisis wishes to take sweeping measures to ensure that the future is green. He believes in implementing the The Green New Deal as not just a green measure but also an economic support measure. He is a part of the Eco-Cooperativist Movement advocating for a  Co-op based economy as part of the process of  going green. Other measures would include the education of the populous on the science behind climate change and promoting a culture of ecology and responsibility for the environment. He also believes the government should regulate businesses with things like the Carbon Tax to turn the economy green. The government in tandem with co-ops would work to create sources of green energy to replace fossil fuels as well as invest in research to replace things like plastic and other non-biodegradable materials. He is not opposed to using nuclear energy temporarily while switching to other forms of green energy.

Globnat.png]] {{Bold
is heavily opposed to Imperialism Neoliberalism and Neoconservatism. He sees intervention in developing countries as causing more death and suffering than their claimed "prosperity and freedom". He has a first-hand account of Native American Reservations he's seen how the imperialists lie and steal and he wishes to see it dismantled and discarded. He sees Alter-Globalism as the desired end goal of creating  autonomy and prosperity for colonized peoples while promoting  world peace and cooperation. He also believes in Left-Patriotism wishing to use left-wing ideas to create a country worth being proud of. He believes that diplomacy should always be tried but in very few situations like the rise of Nazi Germany or the abuse of Palestine by the Israeli government, he believes that if all other options are exhausted and human rights are still being violated that some Intervention is necessary to relieve oppressed and in some cases colonized peoples. He also advocates moving towards World Federalism in the future to ensure humanity's survival.

Progress.png]] {{Bold
Socially believes in the  progress of the status quo while still celebrating and preserving harmless culture and tradition. He supports women having the right to their bodies and argues that abortions will happen whether it's legal or not so he'd rather it be done in a medical facility with proper medical equipment and safeguards rather than in an ally with a coat hanger. He believes that contraceptives and sexual education should be promoted to prevent abortions from needing to happen in the first place but still believes it should be legal for the cases in which it is unavoidable. He believes that the Harm Principle is a good policy for freedoms outlining that in general, one individual's rights are as great as long as they don't hurt the rights of other individuals. He also advocates Secularism to prevent the corruption of government by religion and promote and protect religious freedom. He sees Humanism and  Egalitarianism as core philosophical components he believes that the government, economy, society, etc should be humane as well as equal for all regardless of gender, sex, race, culture, and creed. He believes in equality of opportunity but not entirely in equality of outcome. He believes in a Wildean style of Individualism in which the community and society support each other in a somewhat Communitarian fashion and by supporting one another create the ability and opportunity for individuality creating a kind of Communitarian Individualism. On the issue of drugs, he supports a Portuguese-style approach. Meaning he supports the decriminalization of drugs while also promoting significant public rehabilitation programs.

Demsocstar.png]] {{Bold
wants a government that could be described as a Constitutional Federative Democratic Republic. He believes in Semi-Direct Democracy seeing it as a compromise between representative and direct forms of democracy. He believes that representatives (With strict term limits) should still be elected but that the people should have the power to propose bills and vote out representatives. He believes in a Constitution to protect minority rights as well as  prevent corruption and prevent tyranny and oppression by the government. He belives the aim of a good democracy should be to maximize equality and liberty. He believes in Federalism seeing that having two levels of government allows for more division of power and more autonomy for regions while still being efficient. On the local level, he believes in a kind of communalist style of government where decisions are made democratically by community members and a style of policing similar to community policing is instituted to ensure that the police represent the communities they protect and are accountable to the people. He is sympathetic to most Left-Libertarian ideologies and is moderately libertarian himself.

Bernst.png]] {{Bold
advocates a kind of bloodless revolution. He understands the slowness and patience needed for reform. Still, He sees it as preferable to an instant bloody revolution that almost always results in tyranny and oppression and in some cases genocide like  Pol Pot,  Mao, etc. He advocates a kind of  evolutionary march towards socialism by reforming and improving society democratically. Now he knows the criticisms but here's his logic after bloody vanguardist revolutions it makes people scared of socialism and makes the word in their mind synonymous with genocide (especially in the west). So rather than continuing the cycle of unsuccessful vanguard-led revolutions that just result in oppression and the dragging of socialism's name through the mud. So what if instead we made changes peacefully and gradually, to improve people's conditions and make the word socialism a word that inspires hope for a better future in the minds of people? Through this process, we can move towards socialism and at a certain point, socialism will have enough support and popular backing from the people to have a relatively bloodless revolution (if necessary). Much like ’s views on the subject this idea of evolving towards socialism can be summed up as reforming until the conditions for a bloodless revolution are right. Of course, if we're talking about an undemocratic society then we have no choice but a violent revolution. In summary political parties,  unions, and  activist organizations should evolve society from capitalism to socialism and make the conditions for revolution possible if one is needed. He supports revolutions like The Haitian Revolution,  The Chinese Revolution of 1911,  Rojavan Revolution,  Zapatista Revolution, and other revolutions that were a necessity and didn't result in genocide or unjust dictatorships. Of course, it's not black and white and some revolutions fall into a grey area when it comes to justification and outcome. But he also supports reformist successes like Allende's Presidentship, Evo Morales's Presidentship,  Lula's Succesful Reforms,  MLK Jr.'s Civil Rights protests that influenced US legislation, etc. And to those  Anti-Revisionists who say I'm defiling  scientific socialism, I have this to say in the field of physical science there was a time when people believed that objects were attracted to the earth because they shared the four elements making them move back to their "natural place" (The Earth). But Isaac Newton showed us that the reason for objects falling was gravity. Albert Einstein built on it with his theory of general relativity and showed us how objects manipulate space-time and that is what makes a gravitational pull. Anyway, my point is that if scientific socialism is truly scientific shouldn't it be subject to revision and renovation to fit the modern condition just like natural and physical science is?

 * ([[File:Ego.png]]/[[File:Meta-Anarchism.png]]/[[File:PostMarxism.png]]): Your very well read and thank you for pointing out the obvious about Bukharin, I'm aware he was a Leninist and thus advocated communism I only liked him for a short time because I think he was better than Stalin and Trotsky as there are sources suggesting he was more open to democracy than the other two. On your ideology, it's great to have this abstract concept of yourself and the human condition but here is my problem with egoists and such, they don't seem to care about helping others in society I don't even just mean altruistically. See I don't like politics for the argument or edginess or to fit in with a group, I am interested in politics because I hope to improve people's lives and make a better future. but maybe you have your own motive for being in the philosophical space and maybe I don't understand egoism properly so I'm happy to learn. :)

S

 * [[File:LaFollete.png]] : One of if not the best American politicians. you promoted Cooperatives, Welfare, Public works, and Feminism and you opposed imperialism racism and large corporations. You fought for what was right you advocated for the working class and you were a true patriot thank you for your contributions to American progressivism.:D

 * [[File:Gorb.png]] Mikhail Gorbachev: Gorbachev you tried so hard you cared about your people and you are perhaps the only Russian leader who cared about his people and if you read the Gorbachevism page it's basically my ideology with less nationalism and more progressive but seriously this ideology and Gorbachev are soooooo BASED! :D RIP you will be missed, Gorby :(

B

 * [[File:Bullmooselogo.png]] : You busted trusts protected consumers and made corporations fear the people. My only issue is that you were an imperialist and a bit too militaristic. But I'd rather have you than the presidents we've been getting.

C

 * [[File:Tito.png]] : You were an interesting figure in Marxism Leninism but you were probably one of the best next to people like Bukharin and Dubcek even if you were a bit authoritarian for my taste. You fought the nazis and criticized Stalin you stayed neutral in the cold war and opposed both neoliberal and communist imperialism and you instituted a form of worker self-management on a large scale. overall C for cool.


 * [[File:Ataturk.png]] : You secularized modernized and democratized Turkiye. You protected your people from imperialist Europe and fought for the future of progressivism and democracy in Turkiye. You were a bit authoritarian though.

D

 * [[File:DengXiaoping.png]] : You were too authoritarian and capitalist and you didn't support Yaobangs push for reforms you ended up making China like the US but somehow more authoritarian. you did help a lot of people with opening markets thought so good job to bad it created severe wealth inequality.
