=Economic Platform= Owfism supports a social market economy with some regulations along with extensive  social programs and  P3s (public private partnerships) while favoring  free trade policies with democratic allies and supporting  protectionist policies against autocratic countries. Finally, they support keynesian economic policy.

Welfare and Regulations

 * Implementation of [[File:Edu.png]] free education and a [[File:Univhealth.png]] public healthcare option with mandatory private health insurance, similar to Switzerland.
 * De-regulation of [[File:Timocracy.png]] zoning laws in order to allow for more housing construction. The [[File:SocCap2.png]] government should also have a part in the housing market, allowing for the construction of good quality, affordable homes in competition with private housing construction in order to result in generally lower prices overall.
 * Implementation of an [[File:UBI.png]] universal basic income of 1,000$/month given to people (regardless of age) who earn less than 400K$/year, this would result in massive reductions in poverty overall and give people new economic opportunities.
 * Reforming of the welfare system into something similar to [[File:Social-ism.png]] Workfare, meaning that only people who have a job are eligible to welfare programs, in order to stop welfare leeches from benefiting of off welfare just for welfare-sakes.
 * Abolishment of the minimum wage, instead, high wages are negotiated between employers and unions, as such, there should be high levels of unionization for this to truly happen.
 * Implementation of a maximum wage that serves as a limit to CEO payment, with their payment being capped at x15 more than the average worker.
 * Creation of a [[File:SocCap2.png]] P3s in the energy, banking and construction sectors along with full on nationalization in the transportation sector (railways, public transit).
 * Expand [[File:Merc.png]] public transportation in cities through the phase out of cars in them and instead replace them with trams, metros and bicycles (to name some) and also ensure a high speed rail revolution by connecting the world through high speed rail lines. These are all environmentally friendlier ways of transportation and shall help make our cities walkable again.
 * Implementation of a global [[File:Statecap.png]] sovereign wealth fund, which will benefit future generations and make sure that people don't have to deal with that much of a tax burden with the government instead using the SWF to pay for social programs.
 * State ownership of the [[File:Krit.png]] legal system in order to prevent rich people/companies from just buying very good lawyers and escaping prison. Instead, everyone is just going to get a government decent lawyer, which will result in a fairer trial and won't result in slap on the wrist (at best) or nothing (at worst) for the rich.
 * Combat [[File:AntiEn.png]] climate change through massive investments in green technologies, implementation of an ecological tax (on plastics, fossil fuels and others), regulations on fossil fuel pollution (vehicle emissions standards for example), ultra-low emission zones (in big cities) etc. We should also try to make carbon capture more practical so that we can pull out the CO2 in the air and reduce warming.
 * [[File:Neomerc.png]] Protectionist policies against autocratic countries through the use of tariffs, sanctions etc. in order to weaken them economically and reduce their influence on the world stage.
 * Creation of a sort of [[File:World.png]] Global Concordium between liberal democracies that enhances trade between them in order to ensure higher levels of economic growth within these countries and to stand as a competition against autocracies.
 * High levels of [[File:SyndieSam.png]] unionization (exceeding 70%) in order to allow for workers to negotiate with employers higher wages and other things, there shall also be worker representation in corporate boards.
 * Trust-busting of [[File:Corp.png]] corporate monopolies in order to bring back actual economic competition.

Taxation and Spending

 * Implementation of a [[File:Georgist.png]] land value tax in order to deal with land hoarding and land speculation, along with providing for more efficient land use overall.
 * Abolishment of the [[File:Moder-e.png]] income tax and corporate tax as they can be dodged easily by the upper classes and can harm the lower classes overall.
 * Implementation of an [[File:Envi.png]] ecological tax on greenhouse gas emissions, plastics + other chemicals and other forms of ecological degradation.
 * Some [[File:NeoMerc.png]] tariffs + import duties on autocratic countries, however these won't be used on other democracies.
 * Deficit spending during economic crises while maintaining balanced budgets during times of good economic growth, similar to actual [[File:Keynes.png]] Keynesianism.

Diplomacy

 * In the long term, creation of a [[File:World_Federalism2.png]] world federation in order to allow for a more united human race and to allow us to have a potential partnership for the stars.
 * Provide high levels of military, economic and humanitarian aid to [[File:Cball-Ukraine.png]] Ukraine and also implement a multitude of sanctions against the [[File:Cball-Russia.png]] Russian Federation in order to make sure democracy prevails in the Ukraine War.
 * Implementation of an [[File:Cball-USE.png]] United States of Europe along with an European Defense Force in order to make sure Europe has a much more united policy on the world stage and to fix the pressing challenges it has while not dealing with a disagreeing state or two.
 * Make sure that the [[File:Demlib3.png]] liberal democracies of the world are united in their opposition to autocratic governments like China in order to land the finishing blow to their economies and allow for the international democratic order to materialize.

Culture

 * Support [[File:GRights.png]] gun rights but automatic firearms should be banned (except if you have a may-issue permit) and there should be shall-issue permits for most guns. This is similar to the model employed in Switzerland.
 * Reform the [[File:Klept.png]] prison system by making it state-owned and to make it follow models of rehabilitative justice over punishment.
 * Legalize [[File:Acidcomf.png]] drugs of any kind (hard or soft) as them being illegal makes it more likely for people to consume them than other wise.
 * Allow for [[File:SJW.png]] LGBTQ+ rights such as marriage, civil partnerships, parental rights etc. believing that they should have the freedom to exist and live a normal life.
 * I believe in [[File:Civlibert.png]] free speech but with few limits (such as threatening to bomb government buildings for example), not reaching the levels of free speech absolutism. I also believe that we need to tone down political correctness (on say historical books and all) and the surveillance state to give people more freedoms.
 * [[File:Liberty.png]] Victimless crimes (like pirating) should not be crimes, supporting their legalization however this may not apply to all victimless crimes but to most of them, yes.
 * Allow for [[File:Civnat.png]] high levels of immigration in order to create a diverse society and to deal with the effects of the demographic crisis, also allowing people in war areas to flee and live safely in another country.
