=Government=

Overview
I advocate for the formation of a people's socialist republic organized on the model of people's democracy and democratic as opposed to vapid liberal democracy. Within every SR, there will be a division of powers between the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. The Communist Party will play a central and influential administrative role as it serves as the vanguard of the working class that provides political leadership. Additionally, assemblies will serve as a form of direct democracy where people actively participate in decision-making processes and policy formulation. The assembly system will be three-tiered: local assemblies, provincial assemblies, and national assemblies.

Branches
Within a socialist republic, there are three branches. The executive branch, led by a president, is responsible for implementing policies and managing the administration of the government. The executive branch operates under the guidance and direction of the communist party. The legislative branch, represented by a congress or a parliament, is responsible for making laws and overseeing the activities of the government. The legislative branch discusses and approves laws, enacts policies, and scrutinizes the actions of the executive branch. The judicial branch is responsible for interpreting and applying the law. It ensures that laws are enforced and that justice is administered fairly. The judiciary operates independently, but it is expected to uphold the principles of socialism and the interests of the working class. The Party may play a role in the appointment and oversight of judges to ensure alignment with Marxism-Leninism.

Executive
The executive branch is tasked with implementing the policies and programs formulated by the Communist Party. It oversees various ministries, departments, and agencies responsible for different sectors of the economy and society. This involves coordinating the work of different government bodies, ensuring efficient functioning, and allocating resources in accordance with the priorities set by the ruling party. The executive branch represents the republic on the international stage and engages in diplomatic relations, negotiates treaties and agreements, and participates in international organizations. Along with this, it oversees the military forces and security apparatus, formulates defense policies, and maintains the nation's security. The executive branch may also be responsible for mobilizing and organizing the defense of the republic in case of external threats. Finally, the executive branch, under the guidance of the Communist Party, provides leadership and direction to the government and the society. It communicates the party's policies and ideology to the population, mobilizes support for socialist construction, and encourages participation in the realization of the party's vision.

Legislative
The legislative branch is responsible for enacting laws. It discusses, debates, and approves legislation that shapes the legal framework of the country. These laws can cover various aspects of society, including economic regulations, social policies, human rights, and governance structures. Along with this, the legislative branch exercises oversight over the activities of the executive branch. It scrutinizes the actions and decisions of the government, ensuring transparency and accountability. This oversight function includes examining the implementation of policies, evaluating the performance of government agencies, and investigating any potential abuses of power or corruption. The legislative branch can hold the executive branch accountable through questioning, hearings, and inquiries. The legislative branch also plays a crucial role in approving the national budget. It reviews the proposed budget presented by the executive branch and determines the allocation of resources. It also monitors the implementation of the budget and ensures that funds are used effectively and efficiently. The legislative branch is also responsible for formulating legislation related to social and economic policies, addressing issues such as labor rights, social welfare programs, education, healthcare, housing, and other aspects that directly impact the lives of the working class. The legislative branch strives to create laws that promote equality, social justice, and the development of a socialist society.

Judicial
The judicial branch interprets and applies the law in accordance with the principles of Marxism and the constitution of the republic. Judges analyze legal texts, precedents, and relevant statutes to provide rulings and decisions in legal cases. They interpret the law to resolve disputes and conflicts, ensuring consistency and fairness in their application.The judicial branch presides over legal cases brought before the courts. It serves as an impartial arbiter, hearing arguments from both sides and considering evidence presented. In the republic, the judicial branch is expected to maintain its independence from external pressures, including interference from the ruling party or other branches of government. This independence allows judges to render impartial decisions and judgments based on their understanding of the law and principles of justice. The judiciary is expected to act as a check and balance on the executive and legislative branches. The judicial branch may have the power of judicial review, allowing it to assess the constitutionality and legality of laws and government actions. It can strike down laws or government decisions that are deemed unconstitutional or in violation of established legal principles. This power serves as a safeguard against potential abuses of power by the legislative or executive branches. The judicial branch may be involved in legal education and professional development for judges, lawyers, and legal professionals. It ensures that judges have the necessary knowledge and skills to fulfill their responsibilities effectively. The judicial branch may also contribute to the development of legal doctrines and principles that reflect the specific conditions and needs of the republic.

Communist Party
In a Socialist Republic, the Communist Party plays a central and influential role in the governance and decision-making processes.

Responsibilities
The Communist Party serves as the vanguard of the working class and provides political leadership in the Marxist-Leninist republic. It formulates the party's ideology, political program, and long-term goals, guided by Marxism-Leninism. The party's leadership exercises significant influence in shaping policies, strategies, and direction for the country. The Communist Party typically has a well-defined organizational structure that includes central committees, politburos, and other key bodies. These structures facilitate decision-making processes, policy formulation, and coordination among party members. The party organization extends from the national level to regional, local, and grassroots levels, ensuring the dissemination of party policies and mobilization of support. The Communist Party employs the mass line approach, which emphasizes the active participation and involvement of the masses in decision-making processes. The party seeks to mobilize and organize the working class and other social groups to participate in the construction of socialism. Through mass campaigns, grassroots organizing, and people's committees, the party aims to ensure that policies and actions are rooted in the needs and aspirations of the people. Finally, the Communist Party emphasizes ideological education and propagation to cultivate a Marxist-Leninist worldview among its members and the population. It promotes the understanding of class struggle, socialist principles, and the historical context of the working class. The party engages in propaganda, public outreach, and ideological training to build a broad base of support for its goals.

Membership
Communist Party membership is accessible to all and typically involves a process of application, evaluation, and acceptance into the party. Prospective members are expected to demonstrate a commitment to Marxism-Leninism, which serves as the foundation of the party's beliefs and objectives. They are expected to align with the party's vision of socialism, class struggle, and the advancement of the working class. This ideological alignment is usually assessed through interviews, discussions, and evaluations conducted by party officials. Individuals interested in joining the Communist Party generally initiate the membership process by submitting an application to the party. The application may include personal information, educational background, work experience, and a statement of political beliefs and motivations. The party's local or regional branches usually handle the application process. Party officials evaluate the applications to assess the suitability of prospective members. This evaluation process may involve interviews, references, and discussions to determine the applicant's understanding of Marxism-Leninism, commitment to party principles, and potential for active participation in party activities. The evaluation process also considers the applicant's political integrity, moral character, and dedication to the cause of socialism. Communist Party membership typically involves ongoing education and training in Marxist-Leninist theory, political history, and party principles. Members are encouraged to attend study circles, seminars, and lectures organized by the party to enhance their ideological understanding and political knowledge. Party education aims to foster a shared understanding among members and strengthen their commitment to the party's goals. Members may be assigned specific responsibilities and roles within the party's organizational structures based on their skills, interests, and availability.

Assemblies
In the republic, assemblies serve as a form of direct democracy where people actively participate in decision-making processes and policy formulation.

Local
Local assemblies consist of individuals who reside in a specific locality, such as a neighborhood, village, or town. These individuals come from diverse backgrounds and social groups, including workers, peasants, intellectuals, and other community members. Local assemblies can be held periodically, such as monthly, quarterly, or on an as-needed basis. The specific frequency depends on the needs and dynamics of the community. The assemblies may have a designated chairperson or facilitator who ensures the smooth conduct of proceedings. The assembly structure may also include various working groups or committees focused on specific issues, such as education, health, or infrastructure. During the assembly, participants engage in open discussions and debates on the proposed topics. They express their views, share experiences, and exchange ideas. The emphasis is on collective decision-making, where consensus-building and reaching agreement through dialogue are encouraged. Voting mechanisms, such as majority rule or consensus, may be employed if necessary. Local assemblies serve as problem-solving forums, where community members can raise concerns, propose solutions, and collectively address local issues. They discuss matters such as public safety, infrastructure maintenance, community events, and social programs. The assembly's decisions guide the actions taken to improve the community's well-being and address its specific needs. Local assemblies operate with a focus on transparency and accountability. The decisions made in the assembly are communicated back to the community members and relevant stakeholders. Regular reporting and feedback mechanisms ensure that participants remain accountable to the community they represent. The assembly's decisions and actions are subject to scrutiny and evaluation by the community. Local assemblies may also integrate with higher-level structures, such as regional or national bodies. They serve as important channels for upward communication, ensuring that the concerns and priorities of the local community are transmitted to higher levels of governance. This integration allows for coordination, resource allocation, and the alignment of local decisions with broader development goals.

Provincial
Provincial assemblies consist of elected representatives who are chosen by the residents of the province or region. The number of representatives and the electoral system may vary depending on the specific design of the political system. The representatives are accountable to the residents and are responsible for representing their interests and concerns at the provincial level. Provincial assembly elections are typically held periodically, allowing residents of the province to elect their representatives. The electoral process may involve candidate nominations, campaigning, and voting. The elections aim to ensure broad representation of the province's diverse population and facilitate the selection of individuals who can effectively advocate for regional interests. Provincial assemblies have legislative authority over matters that fall within the jurisdiction of the province or region. They deliberate on proposed laws, regulations, and policies that affect the province and make decisions through voting or consensus-building processes. The assembly's legislative decisions shape the governance and development of the province. Provincial assemblies are involved in regional development planning. They contribute to the formulation of regional development strategies, set priorities, and allocate resources based on the needs and aspirations of the province. The assembly's decisions guide the implementation of regional development plans and the allocation of resources for infrastructure projects, economic initiatives, and social programs.

National
National assemblies possess the highest legislative authority in the country. They are responsible for enacting laws, regulations, and policies that govern the nation as a whole. The assembly members deliberate on proposed legislation, debate its merits, and vote to determine whether it should be passed into law. The national assembly's decisions shape the legal framework of the country. National assemblies consist of elected representatives who are chosen by the people through a national electoral process. The number of representatives and the electoral system may vary depending on the specific design of the political system. National assemblies participate in the formulation and decision-making of foreign policy. They discuss and debate matters related to international relations, diplomacy, and trade agreements. Assembly members may propose and influence foreign policy decisions, ensuring that the country's external engagements align with national interests and values. National assemblies are responsible for making changes to the constitution of the country. They may propose and deliberate on constitutional amendments, subject to certain procedures and requirements. Constitutional amendments typically require a higher threshold for approval than regular legislation, reflecting the significance and long-term implications of such changes. National assemblies often play a role in representing the country in international organizations and forums. Assembly members may participate in international conferences, engage in diplomatic negotiations, and advocate for the country's interests on a global stage. Their involvement helps shape the country's stance on international issues and facilitates international cooperation.

=Economy=

Overview
I advocate for a socialist planned economy to ensure rational distribution of resources to the people. A central planning authority will gather data to formulate economic plans, and workers committees will be established to ensure democratic participation and worker's control. Key sectors such as natural resources, healthcare, and education among others will be nationalized. Modern technology and supercomputers will automate economic planning through computerized data analysis and a decisions support system (DSS), and environmental issues will be prioritized through sustainable agriculture programs and the like.

Planning
Every socialist republic will have a planned economy as opposed to a market economy in order to ensure rational distribution of resources and long-term stability.

Formulation
The central planning authority, which is the Economic Planning Council, gathers data on the current state of the economy which includes information on available resources, labor force, production capacities, technology levels, and consumer needs. This data collection process involves surveys, statistical analysis, and input from relevant government agencies, industries, and research institutions. The Council assesses the needs of society, considering factors such as population growth, education, healthcare, housing, infrastructure development, and other essential goods and services. Based on the societal needs and long-term development objectives, the planning authority sets goals for the economy. These goals may include targets for economic growth, poverty reduction, employment generation, resource conservation, and social welfare. The goals are typically aligned with the broader vision of the republic. The planning authority formulates sectoral plans for different industries and sectors of the economy, such as agriculture, manufacturing, energy, transportation, education, and healthcare. These plans outline specific production targets, investment requirements, technological advancements, and infrastructure development needed to meet the overall goals. The planning authority coordinates and integrates the sectoral plans to ensure consistency and synergy across various parts of the economy. This coordination involves considering interdependencies, resolving conflicts, and optimizing resource allocation to avoid duplication or shortages. Once the economic plans are implemented, the planning authority monitors their progress and evaluates their effectiveness. This involves collecting feedback, assessing performance indicators, and making adjustments as necessary. Lessons learned from the evaluation process are used to inform future planning cycles and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the planned economy.

Participation
In a planned economy, worker councils or committees can be established at the enterprise level. These councils consist of elected representatives from the workers who participate in decision-making processes related to production targets, resource allocation, and workplace conditions. A mechanism for public input into the planning involves soliciting input from workers, consumers, and other relevant stakeholders through surveys, public consultations, and participatory forums. Their feedback and suggestions can be taken into account during the formulation of economic plans, helping to ensure that the plans reflect the needs and aspirations of the people. Democratic decision-making will involve holding regular meetings, discussions, and votes to decide on important matters related to the economy. Workers and the public may have the opportunity to participate in decision-making processes that shape economic policies, resource allocation, and social priorities. Additionally, some enterprises may be collectively owned by the workers or the community. This ownership structure can facilitate greater worker participation in decision-making within the workplace. Workers can be involved in setting production targets, determining work schedules, implementing quality control measures, and sharing in the decision-making process related to the allocation of surplus. To enable meaningful participation, education and awareness programs can also be implemented to inform workers and the public about economic processes, planning mechanisms, and the impact of their participation. This can empower individuals to contribute effectively, understand the broader context, and actively engage in shaping the economy.

Nationalization
The Economic Planning Council will determine the sectors and industries that are deemed essential for the functioning of the economy and the well-being of society and will consequently nationalize them. The government enacts legislation or establishes legal frameworks that empower it to nationalize the identified sectors. These laws provide the authority for transferring private assets into public ownership, outline the procedures for compensation, and establish the rights and obligations of the nationalized entities.

Key Industries
First, nationalizing natural resources, such as minerals, forests, water resources, and agricultural land, allows the government to combat imperialism and ensure their sustainable management, equitable distribution of benefits, and protection of environmental concerns. It prevents private exploitation and promotes resource conservation for the collective welfare. Second, nationalizing the healthcare sector can ensure universal access to quality healthcare services, regardless of an individual's ability to pay. It helps in addressing public health concerns, reducing disparities in healthcare access, and directing resources toward preventive care, research, and development. Third, nationalizing the education sector helps ensure equal access to education for all citizens, regardless of their socio-economic background. It allows the government to prioritize educational resources, curriculum development, and teacher training to promote quality education and intellectual development. Fourth, nationalizing the energy sector, including oil, gas, electricity generation, and distribution, allows the government to ensure reliable access to energy resources for all citizens. It enables strategic control over energy resources, promotes energy security, and allows for the equitable distribution of energy benefits. Fifth, nationalizing transportation and infrastructure sectors, such as railways, ports, airports, and road networks, can ensure efficient connectivity, promote economic integration, and provide affordable transportation options for the population. It allows the government to plan and prioritize transportation infrastructure based on social and economic needs. Sixth, nationalizing the telecommunications industry allows for strategic control over communication networks and ensures affordable access to communication services for all citizens. It enables the government to promote connectivity, bridge the digital divide, and regulate the sector to protect consumer interests. Finally, nationalizing heavy industries, such as steel, mining, and manufacturing, can help in achieving industrial self-reliance, balanced regional development, and employment generation. It allows the government to allocate resources efficiently, develop strategic industries, and promote technological advancements.

Cybernetic System
Many years ago, Ludwig von Mises identified the Economic Calculation Problem, which is that manual planning of an economy is incapable of calculating the massive amount of inputs and outputs in the economy. While this is certainly true (and an unfortunate deficiency in Soviet/Chinese planning), there is a solution to this. Modern technology and supercomputers can be automate economic planning and be far more efficient than any human can.

Data Analysis
Data analysis plays a central role in informing decision-making, monitoring performance, and adjusting plans. To begin with, data would be collected from various sources, including government agencies, enterprises, and other relevant stakeholders. This data would encompass economic indicators, production statistics, resource availability, market trends, consumer preferences, and other relevant information. The collected data would be integrated and centralized in a digital platform or database accessible to the central planning authority. This would enable a comprehensive view of the economy, facilitating holistic analysis and decision-making. Data analysis would be conducted in real-time to continuously monitor the performance of the economy and individual sectors. Key performance indicators, such as production levels, resource utilization, inventory levels, and market dynamics, would be tracked to identify deviations from planned targets. Statistical techniques would be employed to analyze the collected data. Descriptive statistics, regression analysis, time series analysis, and other analytical methods would be used to uncover patterns, correlations, and trends in the data. Data analysis would support forecasting and predictive modeling to anticipate future economic trends and outcomes. Advanced statistical methods, machine learning algorithms, and econometric models could be applied to generate forecasts for key economic variables, aiding in the formulation of plans and policies. Data analysis would be utilized for optimization and simulation purposes. Optimization techniques would optimize resource allocation, production planning, and logistics to achieve desired economic goals. Simulation models would simulate the impact of different policy scenarios and interventions to evaluate their potential outcomes. Data analysis would facilitate a feedback loop between the central planning authority and the various economic actors. Performance data, feedback, and suggestions from enterprises, workers, and consumers would be integrated and analyzed to assess the effectiveness of plans and identify areas for improvement. This feedback would inform adjustments and adaptations to the plans to ensure better alignment with economic realities. Data analysis results would be presented through data visualization techniques, such as charts, graphs, and dashboards. This would make the analysis more accessible and understandable for decision-makers, aiding in effective communication and interpretation of the data.

Decision Support System (DSS)
Economic planning requires access to a wide range of data, including economic indicators, demographic information, market trends, and resource availability. A DSS can integrate data from various sources, cleanse and organize it, and provide a centralized repository for efficient data management. This ensures that planners have access to accurate and up-to-date information for informed decision-making. A DSS can facilitate scenario analysis and modeling, allowing planners to assess the potential impact of different policy choices and external factors on the economy. It enables the creation of "what-if" scenarios, where planners can simulate changes in variables such as investment levels, resource allocation, or policy measures to understand their potential outcomes and implications. This helps in evaluating alternative options and formulating more effective economic plans. A DSS can leverage statistical and econometric techniques to analyze historical data and generate forecasts for economic variables such as GDP growth, inflation rates, employment levels, and consumer demand. These forecasts provide valuable insights for economic planners in projecting future trends, identifying potential risks, and making informed decisions regarding resource allocation, investment priorities, and policy measures. Economic planning involves allocating scarce resources efficiently to achieve desired outcomes. A DSS can incorporate optimization algorithms and mathematical models to optimize resource allocation decisions. It helps in determining the most effective allocation of resources based on various constraints and objectives, such as maximizing economic growth, minimizing costs, or achieving specific social outcomes. A DSS allows for sensitivity analysis, which helps planners understand how changes in key variables or assumptions can impact the outcomes of economic plans. By identifying the sensitivity of economic models to different parameters, planners can gain insights into the robustness of their plans and make adjustments or contingency measures to mitigate potential risks. A DSS can facilitate collaboration and communication among different stakeholders involved in the economic planning process. It provides a platform for sharing data, analysis, and insights, enabling more effective coordination and consensus-building. Planners, policymakers, and experts can interact within the system, discuss alternative scenarios, evaluate trade-offs, and reach collective decisions based on a shared understanding of the economic landscape. A DSS can support ongoing monitoring and evaluation of economic plans by integrating real-time data and performance indicators. It enables planners to track the progress of the implemented plans, compare actual outcomes with projected targets, and identify areas where adjustments or corrective actions may be needed. This feedback loop helps in improving the effectiveness and responsiveness of economic planning over time.

Environmental Policy
Capitalism is destroying the planet, and only socialism can save it. Transitioning away from fossil fuels will require careful planning, investment, and the adoption of sustainable and renewable energy sources.

How to Afford
Allocate funds from the national budget specifically for the transition away from fossil fuels. Prioritize investments in renewable energy infrastructure and technologies that have the potential to provide long-term benefits. Focus on projects that offer a favorable return on investment, such as large-scale solar or wind farms, as well as energy storage systems. Provide subsidies and incentives to promote the adoption of renewable energy sources (this can include tax breaks or reduced tariffs for renewable energy equipment, grants for renewable energy projects, and feed-in tariffs to incentivize private investments in clean energy). Such measures can encourage the private sector to participate in the transition and reduce the burden on the national budget. Implement energy efficiency programs to reduce energy consumption and optimize resource utilization. Encourage energy-saving practices in industries, buildings, and transportation sectors. Energy efficiency measures can significantly lower energy demand, leading to reduced dependence on fossil fuels and cost savings. This approach is often cost-effective and can be implemented within a budget. Conduct competitive auctions for renewable energy projects, encouraging private sector participation and driving down the cost of renewable energy production. Through transparent bidding processes, the government can secure affordable renewable energy projects while fostering competition and innovation within the sector. Allocate a portion of the budget for research and development (R&D) in renewable energy technologies. Investing in R&D can lead to technological advancements, cost reductions, and improved efficiency in renewable energy systems. This can make the transition away from fossil fuels more economically viable in the long run. Explore the issuance of green bonds to raise funds specifically for renewable energy projects. Green bonds are investment instruments that attract socially and environmentally conscious investors. The proceeds from these bonds can be utilized to finance the transition away from fossil fuels. Promote economic diversification by developing new industries and job opportunities in renewable energy sectors. This can include supporting the establishment of renewable energy manufacturing plants, fostering research institutions, and providing training programs to develop a skilled workforce. Economic diversification stimulates growth, creates employment opportunities, and enhances the country's ability to afford the transition. Seek international collaboration and funding from organizations, development banks, and other countries that support renewable energy transitions. International partnerships can bring in additional financial resources, technical expertise, and knowledge sharing, helping to offset the costs of the transition.

Sustainable Agriculture
Sustainable agriculture plays a crucial role in combating the climate crisis by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, conserving resources, and promoting resilience in food production systems. Sustainable agriculture emphasizes the adoption of climate-smart farming practices which include agroforestry, conservation agriculture, crop rotation, cover cropping, and precision agriculture. They help improve soil health, increase carbon sequestration, reduce soil erosion, and enhance water management. By implementing these practices, agricultural systems become more resilient to climate change impacts and contribute to carbon sequestration, thereby mitigating climate change. Organic farming practices eliminate or minimize the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and genetically modified organisms. This approach promotes soil fertility through natural means such as composting, crop rotation, and biological pest control. By reducing the reliance on chemical inputs, sustainable agriculture reduces the release of greenhouse gases associated with their production and use. Sustainable agriculture promotes agroecological principles, which emphasize the integration of ecological principles into farming systems. Agroecology focuses on optimizing the use of local resources, promoting biodiversity, and fostering natural pest control mechanisms. By enhancing biodiversity and ecosystem services, sustainable agriculture contributes to climate resilience and helps mitigate the impacts of climate change on agricultural systems. Sustainable agriculture promotes efficient water management practices such as drip irrigation, rainwater harvesting, and precision irrigation techniques. By reducing water waste and improving irrigation efficiency, sustainable agriculture helps conserve water resources, especially in regions facing water scarcity due to climate change. Sustainable agriculture aims to reduce food waste throughout the supply chain, including production, post-harvest handling, processing, distribution, and consumption. By minimizing food waste, the carbon footprint associated with food production, transportation, and disposal is reduced. This reduces greenhouse gas emissions and optimizes resource utilization. Agroforestry systems involve the integration of trees with crops and livestock. Trees in agroforestry systems sequester carbon from the atmosphere, contributing to climate change mitigation. Additionally, agroforestry provides multiple benefits such as shade, windbreaks, soil conservation, and habitat for beneficial organisms. These systems enhance biodiversity, improve soil health, and increase the resilience of agricultural landscapes. Finally, sustainable agriculture involves knowledge sharing, capacity building, and farmer empowerment. By disseminating information about sustainable practices, providing training programs, and facilitating knowledge exchange, sustainable agriculture enables farmers to adapt to climate change, improve productivity, and contribute to climate mitigation efforts.

=Short Writings=

“For, when all is said and done, it is the so-called little man, the bent-backed, exploited, malnourished, blood-covered fighter for independence who decides. And he invariably decides for freedom.” - Kwame Nkrumah
 * -|Destroy Liberalism=

Liberalism was not designed for you. Ever since the fall of the USSR, capitalism has entered a new chapter — capitalist realism. Reflected in Margaret Thatcher’s slogan “THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE”, and Francis Fukuyama’s declaration of the “end of history”, liberalism has created the idea that capitalism is something that must be begrudgingly accepted, that it is simply “human nature”. How unfortunate it must be for the penniless, illiterate, malnourished Ghanian child that human nature has been so cruel to him! Ultimately, the notion that there isn’t an alternative to capitalism is as widespread as the illnesses that pass through colonized communities day by day. To the worker who has not deprogrammed himself from liberalism, it seems as though, in the words of that demon Churchill, “capitalism is the worst economic system except for all the other ones”. However, this is a grave error. In the words of Slavoj Žižek, the act of simply thinking alone can be radical. Spend any time online and it is profound how many are utterly dissatisfied with capitalism — some of the most popular sentiments you will see sound straight from the mouth of Karl Marx himself! To take a line from Žižek for the second time, you feel “free” under capitalism because you lack the language to articulate your unfreedom. Fortunately, there is a language: socialism.

The path for our liberation is placed before us by the works of the great Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Vladimir Lenin, Mao Zedong, Frantz Fanon, Huey Newton, José Carlos Mariátegui, and so on. Socialism is the sigh of relief that there is something that can be done, even if it is just in one’s local community. The revolutionary potential in a single human being is absolutely profound. Through understanding the materialist dialectic, we can begin to piece together reality: it is human agency that creates change. The material conditions for change are, of course, already put together by changes in the economic base, but it is still up to everyday human beings like me and you to go through with it. Was it not a band of humans who overthrew a decaying and repressive monarchy, orchestrated history’s largest and most successful revolution, and sent the first man into space within 30 years of being a backwards semi feudal hellhole? Was it not humans who were able to abolish illiteracy and elevate 800 million out of poverty and out of the reactionary semi-fascist regime led by Chiang Kaishek and his gang of miserable thieves? Humans that are just as human as me and you did that. At the very least, if fascism does end up winning and every one of your greatest fears comes to fruition, at least you can say that you did something about it no matter how large or small. Recognizing that something can be done, large of small, that is hope in humanity and that is hope in the overthrow of capitalism. They fight for capital, we fight for humans. Death to liberalism! Death to fascism! Death to pessimism! Forward with socialism! Forward with humanity! Forward with optimism!

A common tactic by the modern bourgeoisie is to resort to Malthusianism as a solution to climate change, that is, to place blame on human population growth instead of their own imperialist tactics. Backed by bourgeois scientists and bourgeois politicians, it argues that Thomas Malthus, the 18th century cleric himself, was correct to assume that the inevitable growth of the human species will lead to great ruin. Moreover, they say, we have now reached this level of ruin! Their solution is population control, a mystification of the real problem with its premise being that population growth is an absolute driving consumption and destruction of the planet. Any Marxist, or any human being with intelligence in general, worth their time will dismiss this conclusion as demonstrably false. We must ask ourselves, what has driven this population growth? Have humans suddenly decided to fuck more often without protection? No. This population growth has grown due to the development of the productive forces within capitalism. In short, capitalism has been the reason why this population growth occurred.
 * -|Malthusianism is Eco-Fascism=

As capital continually expands at an increased rate, it requires an ever-increasing pool of human labor to exploit, as capitalism necessitates exploitation due to the tendency for the rate of profit to fall, which is caused by the competition between capitalists to expand productive capacity while the productive forces continually expand. The reality that we face today has been enforced through class exploitation, which is evident in the oppressed nations of the world where miniscule wages force families to rely upon the wages of their children (child labor) for survival. The Malthusian notion that population growth drives overconsumption is pure fiction, world-building on a level that only liberals can reproduce. Purchasing power drives excess consumption; in their personal consumption alone, the richest one-percent are responsible for double the emissions of the poorest fifty-percent! By understanding this, we can begin to understand population control as an imperialist weapon that is propagated in discourse that is created by the bourgeoisie through their monopoly on media, as we must remember how in a capitalist society the capitalist class controls the popular media in their favor. The overwhelming majority of growth in the human population is concentrated in the oppressed world, utterly unable to resolve any contradictions which give rise to such growth. Population control theory is nothing but the attempted legitimization of genocide; even if such measures were to somehow be implemented peacefully, the real crisis in population demographics (that we have an increasingly elder population) would ensure the collapse in production as those capable of laboring to the pace of capital’s dictatorship decline in number relative to the rest of the population. Simply put, Malthusianism births eco-fascism.


 * -|A La Guillotine=

“Like everything else in the world, the revolutionary-democratic dictatorship of the proletariat and the peasantry has a past and a future. Its past is autocracy, serfdom, monarchy, and privilege....Its future is the struggle against private property, the struggle of the wage-worker against the employer, the struggle for socialism....”

The Monarchy - whether it be British, Spanish, Swedish, or Danish - is a reactionary institution, it can only be understood in the present day as a weapon of capitalism. Most of the monarchies of the world, particularly the European, were swept away following the uprisings that preceded the Industrial Revolution. The emerging power of bankers and merchants (the bourgeoisie) began a struggle for power, deadly in France, with these monarchies. In the French Revolution, the emerging bourgeoisie superseded the decaying French monarchy as it had become a hindrance to their interests. The bourgeois-democratic republic that came after the monarchy emerged as the result of the violent struggle - now, the God-given right to rule had been superseded by the God-given right to capital. Since in capitalism, capital is essentially means to rule, it must be understood that any changes since those bourgeois-democratic revolutions have been mainly marginal. The bourgeoisie decided that it could actually be useful to keep those lovely stuffed animals that decorate Buckingham Palace today; meanwhile, as a token of good will they fill up their royal pets’ pockets with profits robbed from the workers they exploited! The monarchy is by definition uninterested in democracy, peace, and socialism, and by necessity uninterested also in changes to the status quo. For the ruling class, the royals are a most powerful, regal, majestic, and noble friend; for those who wish to change society, it is a vicious, cruel, and wicked adversary whose tendrils corrode the seemingly purest of hearts. The monarchy is used to empower the concept of "national unity", exploited as national heritage. Millions upon millions of pounds are made every year from tourists who wish to glance at the royal gold and ivory that stolen from the African continent - brutal colonialism that has not been undone after centuries.

The liars and hypocrites that comprise the bourgeoisie will continue to hoodwink the dull-witted and blind with talk of "equality" and "freedom", of so-called "peace" that is built off the back of slave labor from India, from Egypt, from Ghana, from Nigeria, from Kenya, and from many more oppressed nations around the world today. Equality between what class and what other class? Freedom from what yoke, or from the yoke of what class? These are the questions that the supporters of monarchy cannot answer, as they would expose themselves for what they truly are - a wolf in the clothing of a sheep who is in service to the interests of aristocracy and capital! Enlightenment, civilization, liberty - these are the pompous phrases that decorate the realities of the grotesquely coarse, filthy laws they pass that crush the power of workers, that treat the woman as an inferior being, that fundamentally work to oppress! Down with this despicable, odious, and revolting fraud! Down with monarchy, forward to socialism on Earth!


 * -|Multipolarism is Imperialism=

When the USSR collapsed at the end of the Cold War, the United States was left as the last hegemon standing. Much of bourgeois academia (cough cough Francis Fukuyama) was eager to declare the "end of history", awaiting the new bourgeois world order of liberal democracy with open-armed embrace - unipolarity of Amerikan capital. But now it appears that something is changing, that there is now talk of a multipolar world. It appears that the United States is slowing down to its competitors Russia and China. There is great confusion on how to relate to these new powers; many (liberals) have thrown themselves to the new Cold War of Amerikan imperialism against Russia and China, while others have thrown themselves to the grace of these opponent powers as a counterweight to US imperialism. Multipolaristas may refer to themselves as anti-imperialist, but in reality they prettify the world imperialist system and deny that competition between two imperialist powers will inevitably lead to war. Multipolaristas assume that imperialism is a uniquely Amerikan phenomenon - it is demonstrably not.

Russia is not anti-imperialist, not one bit. Just because it is militarily and economically lacking compared to the United States does not strip it of its imperialist status; Vladimir Lenin referred to Imperial Russia as imperialist even though it was practically a semi-feudal backward nation of peasants. Its war in Ukraine is not motivated by a desire to "denazify" it, it is to control its land, labor, and raw materials before they are seized by another imperialist power. When Russia invaded Ukraine, the struggle of the Russian imperialists against the Ukrainian masses became the primary contradiction. It is for this reason why the Russian imperialist war on Ukraine must be opposed. However, we must oppose Russia in a way that is not resemblant of the manner in which Amerikan imperialist politicians oppose Russia. They give power to the Ukrainian comprador bourgeoisie to poke Russia with a stick for years so that they can trigger a proxy war between their regional stronghold, Ukraine, and their regional opponent, which is Russia. They do not see a struggle for national defense against imperialism by the Ukranians, they see an opportunity to crush Russia instead - how unsurprising that imperialists will consider power before people. This is not to say that the Ukrainians are simply passive chess pieces in the game of imperialism, but it is without a doubt that the Amerikan imperialists have made great effort to manipulate and exploit the Ukrainian movement for defense in their favor. We must oppose the Russian war in Ukraine and support the right of the Ukrainians, with arms, to defend their land against an occupier; however, we must also oppose the effort of the US imperialists to expand into a major imperialist war.

Multipolarity, in whatever form it takes, will lead to war and violence against proletarians. How naive must one be to believe that permanent peace is possible between various major competing powers? Nonetheless in the age of imperialism? Lenin has expertly established that competition for raw materials and markets by different monopoly capitals must lead to imperialist wars of redistribution, and that periods of peace and even cooperation between the imperialist powers can only be preparations for war - to this day he remains gravely correct. As emerging imperialists enter the territory of old imperialists, war is always on the horizon. As Marxists, as Leninists, and as socialists above all, it is our duty to oppose war. The solution is not to support this or that imperialist power over this or that imperialist power, the solution is the abolition of the imperialist system through world socialist revolution. Only through fighting back against capital will we ever see an end to the brutal wars which plague and haunt the capitalist system. Supporting this or that imperialist power simply because it is opposed to an imperialist power you don't like is a form of vulgar, narrow nationalism that has nothing in common with dialectical materialism; fundamentally, war will be upheld. We must not support imperialist powers or blocs over any other, fundamentally, our position is with the international proletariat. The Ukrainian people are bombed and murdered by Russian imperialists, and the Russian people are sanctioned and put in economic distress from western imperialists - the bourgeoisie of both countries remains untouched. To that we say, down with imperialism! No war but class war! The only conflict we support is the conflict against the bourgeoisie!

☆☆☆☆☆

 * - I'm basically you but Hispanic. Pan-nationalism, communism, Leninism, everything perfect. Overall, great stuff plus your art is fantastic plus you're nice.

☆☆☆☆

 * [[file:MLL.png]] - Maoist, but honestly not bad. Now that I've leaned away from the futurism, your views seem more and more similar to mine.
 * [[file:MiskaAlt.png]] - Pretty much just the average Yugonostalgia type, the market socialism is problematic though.
 * [[file:Baconicon.png]] - Libertarian Marxist, but I like your cultural progressivism and willingness to relinquish anarchism. Overall pretty good, just drop the "libertarian" nonsense and embrace Leninism please.
 * [[File:Murb.png]] Neo-Murba - I'm really liking the stuff on your page, the only thing holding me back from putting you in 5 stars is the fact you're not an ML and you mentioned Bordiga as an influence [you seem kind of leftcommish to me anyways]. Very well read too, though I must say you should rewrite your "Problem of Transitory Phases" section because it's so atrociously worded it's practically unreadable. Overall really liking your stuff.
 * [[File:Jefsynd.png]] - I used to dislike your ideology back when I was Cyberleninism, but now that I'm reading your full page I must say that your stuff is pretty good. Your criticisms of social democracy and the rise of the left that is pro-prostitution are expertly said. However, I still personally oppose unionism as a revolutionary force in favor of vanguardism due to the fact I see unionism as overly economistic and unreliable. That being said, your stuff is pretty good to me.
 * [[file:CheeseCom.png]] - Overall pretty good, there's not much I disagree with except for the Maoism I suppose.
 * [[File:Neokira2.png]] - Honestly really good stuff, I would put you in 5-star if you weren't so hardline Stalin-adjacent and concerningly brutal . That being said, you're mostly pretty good.

☆☆☆

 * [[File:O'Langism.png]] - We've had this discussion before but yeah I still don't think anarchism is a solution to the state's inherent oppression. Overall just average anarchosyndicalist.
 * [[File:DragonRed.png]]  - Your page is so damn long and it lacks a brief overview and I don't have any of the time in the world to read this stuff. That being said, you seem too overly bureaucratic, conservative, and xenophobic for my tastes. Your support of Latin American socialists is great and I appreciate it, but seriously cut it out with the reactionary BS.

☆☆

 * [[File:Tomjaz.png]] - Vaushite, advocate of "libertarian market socialism" and has a philosophical outlook almost entirely indebted to liberalism. Overall not terrible but could use some work.
 * [[file:Erissky.png]] - I like the fact you're progressive and pro-technology [and a recovering alt-righter], but other than that we don't really see eye to eye. Anarchism and nihilism are just a bunch of edgy teen nonsense, but anti-humanity? You seriously want to get rid of humans? Anyways, other than that you seem okay to me please embrace Marxism-Leninism already.
 * - Liberal, pro-private property, pro-US, pro-NATO, pro-EU, humanist, the list goes on. Too much of an idealist, you fail to see how the interests of capital inherently contradict environmental sustainability and instead seem to push for the typical liberal "human capitalism". Overall average eco-capitalist.
 * [[file:neohumicon.png]] You come to my page to insult me instead of engaging with my ideas lol typical lib.
 * [[File:Brazlib.png]] - Average liberal imperialist but Brazilian. I critically support Lula but probably for different reasons than you lol
 * [[File:CooperativeLibertarianism.png]] - "free market socialism" lmaooooooo

☆

 * [[File:GanzismIcon2.png]] - "return to hunting and gathering unga bunga" but unironically. Plus you're an ethnonationalist .... ew
 * [[File:NeoGlencoe.png]] - Absolutely filthy gusano-fascist, imperialist garbage. Your ideas on "keeping America pure" sound straight out of a fascist handbook, and you expressly say you want to launch a full-scale invasion of Cuba. Fuck's sake, a lot of these views do not deserve place in civil society. You sound unwell and incredibly angry. Hope you get better because seriously wtf is this.
 * [[File:AryanMonarchBow.png]] - "Aryan Monarchism" 🤓🤓🤓 white supremacist, outright racist, monarchist, hedonist, individualist - honestly, the Bolsheviks should've blasted the Romanovs harder.
 * [[File:Yves-nicholas.png]] - Theocrat, practically fascist, and corporatist. Plus, you equate black nationalism with white nationalism (the two are not the same).
 * - I'm sorry you will never feel the touch of a woman

 * [[File:DragonRed.png]] - your ideology looks great. Add me.
 * - sure but user page on the main polcompball wiki? dude just make a self insert on this site instead
 * [[File:DragonRed.png]] - Our economic views are almost the same. I'm not reactionary. Reactionary means monarchy, theocracy, on the capitalist side. Nor am I a classical conservative. I am in favor of the Republic, the Secular, and the Socialism. Anti LGBT. I am pro-Socialist Feminist. The side that I am conservative is the culture of the nation, the protection of the borders of the country, family values...
 * - I mean reactionary not as in you want to bring back monarchies and theocracies, I mean it as in you are not progressive and uphold conservative, reactionary idealism. You are anti-LGBT, narrow nationalist, and want to uphold "family values"; that is reactionary.
 * [[File:DragonRed.png]] - You know this too.restore monarchy and theocracy; Defending monarchy and theocracy is reactionary. Defending the secularism of the republic is progressive. I am truly a cultural nationalist. I am only interested in preserving my national culture in my country. You are more nationalistic than me. You are a pan nationalist. You aim to unite all Spanish-speaking nations under the Red flag. I am in favor of the egalitarian family institution, which I call family values. I am in favor of having a family of parents and children. I'm here for their protection.
 * - The family is anything but 'egalitarian', the father is an authoritative model of the bourgeois, while the mother and child are the oppressed model proletariat, expected to carry out his every whims on the basis of his 'hard work' and status as a 'prime mover'. This structure doesn't 'protect' anyone except men in power.
 * [[File:DragonRed.png]] - Family is important. It determines your personality. Everything depends on the environment. You and the family depend on the environment. I do not support the very oppressive family model. Nor do I support the extremely libertarian family model. I mostly advocate the egalitarian democratic family model. The family is the foundation of the people. If the family is corrupt, the people will also be corrupt.
 * - I agree that family affects your personality and decisions, but that's not a good thing. Regardless of what 'model' there is for a family. There is no 'democratic' family. There is no 'libertarian' family. The family unit arose for the simple purpose of making two more subservient classes to men - women and children.
 * [[File:AryanMonarchBow.png]] Aryan Monarchism - Depending on where you are it might be about making men and children subservient to women. People shouldn't be influenced by your family but it does happen.
 * - expertly stated by, there is no "democratic" family. The bourgeois family is a relationship that has been constructed by property relations that degrade the woman in relation to men. While I believe that the subservience of children to an elder guardian is a legitimate hierarchy, the subservience of a woman to a man is the literal definition of a patriarchal, misogynistic relationship.
 * [[File:DragonRed.png]] - The family unit arose for the simple purpose of making two classes - women and children - more submissive to men." In the oppressive family model, one side is dominant, the person who takes every decision alone. This can be the father. It can also be the mother. There are more fathers in these very backward countries. In my opinion, the father-oppressive family model that prohibits saying hello to a man. The father, who told his daughter to come after 12 at night, adopted the extreme libertarian family model. There are indeed such models. Believe me, neither is good.
 * [[File:AryanMonarchBow.png]] Aryan Monarchism - Regardless of gender both parents should have equal say. Misogynistic and misandristic relationships are for idiots. Kids should have some degree of freedom btw.
 * - Before I type this comment up, can you people take this discussion somewhere else? it's literally a disaster having to manage all of this shit. anyways, I don't have the time to go into a full discussion, I'll just copy and paste a line from Friedrich Engels that is a response to the bullshit you're spewing: "The first class opposition that appears in history coincides with the development of the antagonism between man and woman in monogamous marriage, and the first class oppression coincides with that of the female sex by the male. Monogamous marriage was a great historical step forward; nevertheless, together with slavery and private wealth, it opens the period that has lasted until today in which every step forward is also relatively a step backward, in which prosperity and development for some is won through the misery and frustration of others. It is the cellular form of civilized society, in which the nature of the oppositions and contradictions fully active in that society can be already studied."
 * [[File:DragonRed.png]] - I am not advocating that family members submit to each other. Neither should a woman submit to a man, nor should a man submit to a woman. Everyone should understand and help each other.
 * - for the millionth time, the nuclear family INHERENTLY involves subservience of a woman to a man due to its inherent contradictions. I won't continue repeating myself, please stop blowing up my comment section.

Neo-Glencoeism- I am not sure how I am fascist when a major part of my ideology is kicking fascists out of my country.
