Ego-Progressivism

Ego-Progressivism is the current of thought followed and created by Io, it essentially seeks to combine traditional Ego-Communism with Ultraprogressivism, viewing that the struggle for gender, race and sexual liberation should come hand in hand with individual sovereignty and egoism.

[[File:Nihil.png]] The Nothing and Everything Else [[File:Hmind.png]]
So as individuals once we come to this thing we call society we are called to serve, to server what you ask? well to serve society, maybe to serve God, or Capital, or Humankind, or the Proletariat, we are asked to let ourselves go for the "greater good" and if we don't do so then what are we? egoists! selfish people who think only of themselves, rejecting following a cause means being rejected by the cause, but isn't that egoistic? All those things are interested in themselves if thats the case are they not? Humankind cares only for humankind or for those who care for humankind, thats still caring only about itself, the same goes for God, and the Proletariat and Men and all other of those labels, so if they do so why shouldn't i? those things are nothing, but so are we, at the "grand scale of things" what can you say of anything? i am nothing, a creative nothing, for reality is for me only what i create, so if those nothings serve themselves i too choose to serve myself, but we can never be nothing alone, because we are forever interacting, asking of each other things, so there's a struggle if we ever wish to be our own, because a lot of "things" wish for us not to be our own but their own, for God i am supposed not to be me but a "man of god" and that struggle is ever-present in society, constantly we are called to do something not for ourselves but for an else, to the point that if we want stuff we have to let go of atleast a little bit of ourselves to obtain it, we have to agree on a social contract where you give something and take something in return, that is the nature of things, but nature too isn't something i wish to subjugate me, so down with that too, in short; things try to subjugate us and struggling against it so you can take in joy by being your own, is liberation, a liberation i wish to obtain.

[[File:Constructivist.png]] The Ideal and the Real [[File:Absurd.png]]
As the creative nothing is that which creates everything to claim that there is a concrete reality that is objective and knowable is silly, since reality varies from the perspective of the individual, as the individual perspective is the only perspective the individual can have and thus create its reality around it, but each individual is different, with different experiences and different perspective, and all those realities are absolute to the own individual but not to anyone else, of course, there is an external world out there, with real "things" but as a group we can't ever say with total objectivity what it is, what we do is to agree on what it is and accept that definition as what it is, reality is thus, for society constructed by our social contracts, but for us is entirely based on our perspective, and as society and us are both nothing (since we can't ever say absolutely that anything is anything) what is to say what is more "real"?

[[File:Conservative.png]] Conservatism is present in most relations [[File:Progress.png]]
It is conservatism and conservative thought that tries to chain the individual to whatever society expects of them rather then allowing them to be liberated and fight for their own cause, believing that each individual should dedicate itself to the cause of society, or order, or tradition rather than themselves and seeks to destroy all that stands by itself, conservatives believe in something sacred, and that said sacred must be fought for, defended and kept, social conservatives, love the traditions and social constructs of our society, so they fight long and hard to keep them sacred, thats the obvious example, but if we wish to live just for ourselves then there happens to be a lot in the way no? and so people who don't believe in this egoism think we should "conserve", conserve the everything else, putting it as sacred, since it is above the individual.

[[File:Ultraprogressivism.png]] Identity and Tribalism [[File:Tribal.png]]
A consequence of conservative thinking is tribalism, the belief that the individual should exist for its identity and serve it, thus being part of a tribe and dedicating itself to that "tribe", this chains the individual and prevents it from fighting for its own cause, this behaviour is often seen in so called "progressives" this putting your identity above everything else, but i believe its inherently conservative in the way it sees the individual as a tool of its identity (which is sacred).

[[File:Ins.png]] State of Insurrection [[File:Insan2.png]]
The Individual, if it seeks to further its own cause, needs to fight for it, the world is in a constant struggle between different causes, and if the individual seeks its total liberation it must too fight, fight against the ideas of authority, conservatism and whatever else chains the individual, For the individual to achieve its total liberation it must abolish that which chains it, the state, race, gender, sexuality and whatever else, and this can only be done by always fighting against this systems, existing in constant insurrection, not letting yourself be governed, to quote a smarter guy, freedom cannot be given, it must be taken.

[[File:Awaj.png]] Civic Egoism [[File:Self.png]]
Liberation is, of course, closely tied with liberty, the cause of the individual, for its realization necessitates liberty, "social progress" as it is opposed to conservatism holds it as ideal that all must be free to do as they desire, unchained from the conservative and collectivist ideals that prevent them from doing so, in that way most conflicts, such as the ideal of economics, social problems and such have to do with the struggle between liberty and authoritarianism, to fight against progressivism in that sense is inherently authoritarian.

[[File:Illeg.png]] Economics [[File:Antwork.png]]
As mentioned in the above section the question of economics is too tied to liberty, as different economic systems greatly impact how an individual can forward its cause, All economic systems remove freedom from the individual in some way, capitalism, feudalism and state-capitalism prevent the individual from being free and true to itself by making it bow down to someone or something else, be it the will of lords, of the free market, or of bureaucrats, So for a "freer" system there could be a non-coercive economy, a sort of mutualism without markets where individuals freely choose what they want or not to work on and thus what they want or not to obtain, however even engaging in said social contract will steal from the individual some of its freedom, so if they wish to be freer they must too take what it wants for itself without regarding whatever system is put in place.

[[File:Envi.png]] Environment [[File:Indust.png]]
The environment is precious to the individual in the sense that its good health is physically necessary for the individual to continue its existence, as such protecting the environment is in the self-interest of everyone, but, if this is to somehow change, and it is no longer in the individuals self-interest to protect the environment then its up to the individual to decide what it wishes to do with it, as for an egoist it is property of the individual and not the other way around.

[[File:Nation.png]] The Trap of Nations [[File:Anat.png]]
Nations are a classic example of a spook, a fixed idea that serves nothing more than its own cause and seeks to subjugate the individual to said cause, it is a net-negative for the individual in every way, nationalism prevents us from helping eachother, for standing by eachother and claiming all the benefits that that would entail, and thus Ego-Progressivism is anationalist, believing in the abolishing of nations all together, and that the individual can operate as if there were no nations.

[[File:Antthe.png]] The Religion Question [[File:Theocrat.png]]
Religion is something that alienates the individual, makes it work not for itself but for a holy cause, to reach for and create a heaven that is external and the "good" all the while the individual itself is reduced to something unsacred, uncreative, and merely a subject of an external ideal, the individual must free itself from religion to find itself free, but to force others to abandon it is no less authoritarian than forcing others to be religious, as such although Ego-Progressivism believes that in the decision making processes of a government religion being excluded always would lead to more freedom, the individual belief in religion shouldn't be fought against with force, instead it is up to each individual to free itself from it.

[[File:Antr.png]] Morphological Freedom
Liberty is not something that is born from or maintained by only ideals, our material conditions affects greatly how free we can be from whatever binds us, and while that may be obvious for things such as material goods or needs, one way that our material conditions makes us less free is our own body, the individual is trapped by natural laws and forced labour under a set standard, the natural standard, that is not absolute however, and with the development of technology we can break free from this, take glasses for example, someone with problem seeing is in a way less free then one who can see well, as the one with problems seeing has less access to many things around life, with glasses or contact lenses however, one can see better, interact with the world better, not only is this beneficial in the sense of survival, it also enables greater freedom as it removes many impediments one might have, so if we can use technology to better our freedom and our quality of life then why only stop at making as as good as we "should", at the grand scheme of things there is no "should", this is biological conservatism that claims we "should" be what is "natural" or "right", there is no "right" however, so what to prevent the individual from bettering itself in such a way if it so does wishes? it is an expression of freedom to chase further freedom, and technological enhancements can deliver the individual greater freedom of the material world around it and its own body.

[[File:Anqueer.png]] On Gender
Gender is many things all at once, and at the same time, nothing at all, it is in its essence an abstraction, a phantom or spook that is performed by the individual, its an idea that is imitated though it lacks original form, at the same time it organises itself through a class structure, with males being the dominating class, females the dominated and queers those who don't conform and break the structure, all those things combined lead to an idea such as gender having enormous impact on the life of the individuals, since we are born we are forced into either male and female, and since then we are pressured to fit into the mold of our given gender identity and ostracized as queer if we ever choose not to follow said mold, as such gender in all its forms is an authoritative structure, one that rules over the individual, no wonder that system lead to so many oppressive structures across our history, but even when gender is at its least important it still continues being an oppressive and conservative structure, as gender, as long as it exists will force on us an arbritary set of rules we are meant to follow not for our own sake but simply because we must, because it is tradition and so we should, gender is an authoritative structure through and through and as long as it exists it will be, thats why feminism and men's liberation fail, because they do not wish to free us from gender, but free gender, making gender, a thing that oppresses us, free, no, it is not enough to simply liberate gender, but liberating yourself from gender is what would lead to greater freedoms, that is not to say gender as an identity should be completely abolished, its coercive forces should but to take gender as one's property, picking it up as conscious choice and using it for its own cause is also liberation.

Kinda Like

 * [[File:Duckf.png]] Individual Voluntaryism - You make a good point on the nature of political structures and coercion, but your solution to it is not to advocate for the individual to freed from said structures but for individual to be free to choose which structure they wish to be oppressed by
 * [[File:Yoda8soup.png]] Yoda8soup Thought - While the society this ideology would lead to is preferable to and would be an improvement of the current one in many ways, it still fails to fundamentally solve the many problems inherent with this system, with democracy, production and states

 * [[File:OwfBall.png]] Owfism - Typical american demsoc, proposes solutions to problems but doesn't go as far as it is necessary to really solve them
 * [[File:Glencoe.png]] Glencoeism - Surely, the problems with the current system is that its not "optimal" enough, we should organize it differently so it would be better, no, i say it will never be good enough and we should just throw the whole thing away
 * [[File:BasedMan.png]] BasedManism - What objectivity? what truth? why should i care about that? surrender myself and my being to the whims of logic and "higher truth"? life is an absurd, and its an absurd to find some true and objective system, other than that you're ok i guess

Dislike

 * [[File:Syntridem2.png]] Syncretic Tridemism - Attaturk failed, so did Sun Yat-Sen, nationalism will always lead to suffering and the oppression of the individual, no matter how much welfare you try to shove at my face
 * [[File:Panth.png]] Pantheonism - Pan-Humanist Social Monarchism, to say this ideology is haunted by phantasms (spooked) would be an understatement, and also, why monarchy? if you believe a leader should be competent surely you would defend meritocracy or technocracy
 * [[File:MLL.png]] Libra Thought - Humane liberalism, one that gives you a "more" humane work (not that Marxist-Leninist countries have a better record with working conditions), a "more" humane economy (Where the needs and wants of the human are dictated by the polis and not itself), a more humane "democracy" (where you can criticize the government as long as the government doesn't consider it a "threat", very humane indeed), a more humane ruling class (it would surely only educate the people, how much can a revolutionary institution that brought about a new order manufacture consent anyways?), but the thing is, its not enough for this things to be humane, i want them gone, all of it, only then i would be free, tolerable foreign relations takes aside from the Donetsk and Luhansk support, which is the equivalent of supporting vichy france

 * [[file:Postean.png]] Post Ego Anarcha-Nihilism - Seems to be based except that you focus too much on culture that looks like average SJW and still identifying as socialist when you want to abolish economy. Still it's very good because I don't care about cultural stuff.
