Practical BERNHEism

Most text boxes are incomplete, stand by, losers

Practical BERNHEism is a Economically Center-Authoritarian Left, Culturally  Center-Right, Diplomatically  Highly Nationalist,  Protectionist and  Anti-Imperialist, Religiously  Laicist and Technologically  Transhumanist ideology, which is a far more practical version of  him built to appeal to the actual American people. If Techno-Ultranationalism is an ideology for BERNHE's ideal world (one in which everyone thinks the exact same way he does), than these are the policies that he'd implement IRL.

=Was Techno-Ultranationalism a LARP?= No. I unironically believed in Techno-Ultranationalism for many months before realizing that it can only really work if everyone were like me, as in they think and act like me. There's a reason why I haven't updated the thing in so long, I've just been thinking about whether or not an ideology I created to be 100% efficient would, ironically, fall apart instantly. I came to the conclusion that it would, of course, but I still very much believe in it (and its unholy Transitory Phase) as an "ideal BERNHEist society" kind of thing. The truth is that extreme authoritarianism cannot work in this country unless we do it by force and taking liberty from the American people, no matter how GOD DAMN ANNOYING AND INEFFICIENT IT IS, is impossible.

=Economics= Practical BERNHEism adopts the economics of Bull Moose Progressivism in its entirety. That is to say that he believes in somewhat regulated (but mostly free) capitalism, the same system America uses right now, with extreme anti-corporation, anti-monopoly and pro-worker measures to ensure the American Dream for ALL people. The market would weed out the lazy and the inept by itself, there's no need for massive state regulation to do what a market would do naturally. Massive corporations and monopolies can be likened to blood clots; they clog up and impede an otherwise near-flawless system. Competition drives innovation, commies can seethe and markets good, ackshually. I also believe in the partial nationalization of certain things like healthcare, water, banks, and housing, in case a crisis occurs (think of the 2008 crisis or the Great Depression) or someone abuses the system. He also believes in protectionism, although he is more than fine with trading with other countries. However, he does not like companies interfering with other countries (see this) and wants to get American companies out of the third world not only because it's a human rights issue, but also because he wants to revive local industry at home. He also wishes to leave the UN and eventually NATO once Russia is under control. Other than this, the basic structures of capitalism should remain unmolested.

=Gov't Structure= I believe in the same structure we use now, but if applicable, I would like to give the house and senate less power and the judicial branch a little more. And if we're being utopian, I would also like to completely shift away from representative democracy and onto a direct (or even ATHENIAN (in the sense that the people "represent" themselves in a governing body)) democracy. However, I abide by the constitution above all. ALTHOUGH IT WOULD BE PRETTY NICE IF CERTAIN ASSHOLES IN THE SENATE AND HOUSE WOULD STOP FUCKING THINGS UP, I HATE REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY I HATE REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY I HATE REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY REEEEEEE.

=Research and Technology= I believe that research, along with big pharma, should be nationalized to its fullest extent, on the other hand, the former so that the state could have a tighter grip on the flow of technology (what the public does/does not have) and the latter so that they would not have to worry about costs and profit nearly as much as if they were all private. This would allow the dream of free healthcare to be realized. On the other hand, I believe in transhumanism (although not full ), but if we do go that far, modifications should be doled out to everyone equally, so a massive disparity doesn't occur.

=Environment= I love the environment as much as Teddy did :D I like national parks, and I wish to make more. I also want to strengthen the EPA, USDA, and other organizations that relate or could possibly relate to our environment. I want to make conservation efforts far stronger (this cannot happen anymore) as well.

=Nation= The most striking similarity of his ideology with the OLD one is nationalism. I believe in the form of highly-aggressive cultural nationalism that focuses on national pride and the values we were built on 250 years ago. However, this also comes with pulling out from most places (except for Europe, most of Asia, and a few island bases) and giving material (not capital) reparations to countries we've harmed. We should NOT be in the Middle East anymore, 9/11 was 20 years ago. However, I still want to monitor Russia and China as basic national security risks, so I will keep a close eye on them. Still, I will not be as aggressive towards China, but far more so towards Russia. He thinks that America should not be held to the standards that Europe and the rest of the world sets and is no fan of globalization. That does not mean America will throw out Geneva or whatever, we'll just be far more domineering towards European countries, especially those that seek to limit our boundless ambition.

=Politician Filth= As soon as I get into office, I would immediately prepare a massive investigation, aimed at whatever party is weakest/not mine, and thoroughly investigate that group with unprecedented transparency. All I need is a cause, just ONE fuck up. Hopefully, this would tear even more holes and would give me excuses to investigate everyone else, too. I have a feeling that we're gonna see a nest of vipers.
