In essence, I want a society where everyone can live a dignified existence. To describe my ideal economy I would say, it would involve a Regulated Market with a strong  Welfare State as well as  Partial Computer Planning of the economy and  Workplace Democracy in various forms ranging from complete (100%) to partial (50%) including  Cooperatives,  Strong Worker Unions,  Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOP), and  Board-Level Employee Representation (BLER) to establish a fair, equitable, and realistic system. I see this as a form of Democratic Socialism or in more economic terms a  Mixed Socialist Economy. I also strongly advocate for Environmentalism, I believe that unchecked Capitalism is eating the earth alive with wasteful resource extraction and consumption. 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 also believe in a Wildean style of Individualism in which the community and society support individuals, creating the ability for everyone to enjoy their own individuality while still having a productive and cooperative society. 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. When it comes to achieving socialism I agree with the Centrist or Kautskyist approach of reforming to help the worker's condition in the present, while at the same time building popularity and revolutionary momentum to eventually culminate in a popular revolution led by the proletariat.

Economically he believes in a Regulated Market with a strong  Welfare State. To help with regulation and resource management he would if possible like a Computer program similar to Cybersyn. When it comes to business model it should be made up of mostly Cooperatives with some  Small-Medium Sized Private Businesses and a small number of  Self-Employed People and some  Nationalized Businesses in some sectors of the economy. It is also important to note that all nationalized and medium-sized private businesses would be required to have 50% worker ownership in the form of Board-Level Employee Representation (BLER), making  Workplace Democracy a core value in 's ideal economy.

When it comes to taxation he advocates for:

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


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


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

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. He also believes that technology has a role to play in going green and advancing humanity in general for example; the development of plastic alternatives and hydrogen and electric cars.

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.

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 (So in terms of  LGBTQ+ for example you should be able to do whatever you want so long as it's with consenting human adults). 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. He supports the decriminalization of drugs while promoting effective public rehabilitation programs. He also believes in the Camusian views of existential philosophy, that life is meaningless unless given meaning by the individual. He likes Camus's philosophy because it is able to accept the bleakness while not giving up hope and he likes the description of it being a kind of Rebellious Humanism.

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.

takes a Centrist Marxist stance on the topic of  reform v.  revolution and sees value in both. So instead he wants to make changes peacefully, 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 revolution. Of course, if we're talking about an absolutely undemocratic society, we have no choice but an instant revolution. In summary political parties,  unions, and  activist organizations should work to improve society and make the conditions for revolution possible. 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 objects fell because of gravity. Albert Einstein' built on it with his theory of general relativity and showed us how objects manipulate space-time, which makes a gravitational pull. Anyway, my point is that if scientific socialism is truly scientific shouldn't it be subject to renovation based on evidence just like natural and physical science is? It is important to note I do not consider myself an orthodox Marxist, but I would call myself a Centrist Marxist or  Neo-Marxist, since I do renovate Marx's ideas and take influence from non-Marxists as well.

Comments
- I've shifted my views somewhat, I've started incorporating Libertarian Socialism into my form of democratic socialism, and I've also taken a more pro-revolution stance, so I'll be redoing relations and such. But it is a work in progress so forgive any hiccups on the page. Thank you. :)
