[[File:Keynes.png]] Economics [[File:Steinval.png]]
Owfism advocates for the implementation of an universal basic income, an income in which all citizens regularly receive a legally stipulated and equally set financial grant paid by the government without a means test.

Owfism agrees with Keynesian economics, for example, believing that savings are income that is not devoted to consumption and consumption is that part of expenditure not allocated to investment, i.e., to durable goods, including other aspects of Keynesianism.

Owfism also agrees with Steiner and Vallentynes economic beliefs, supporting state social welfare however, it instead wants an Universal Basic Income.

Owfism believes that it is illegitimate for anyone to claim private ownership of natural resources to the detriment of others. Owfism supports some form of income redistribution on the grounds of a claim by each individual to be entitled to an equal share of natural resources.

[[File:Plutocrat.png]] Big Monopolies [[File:CronyCap.png]]
Owfism believes there are 2 main ways that a government can end a corporate monopoly: Breaking them up into smaller companies and Nationalization of the certain company

The method of breaking the company up into smaller companies means the large company will be split into many smaller companies, which results in more market competition in the short and long term overall. The previous owner of the company cannot own shares in the new companies to prevent a J.D Rockefeller situation.

The method of nationalization is an alternative to when breaking up a company is impossible or even if possible will just result in unification of the companies back into the previous company, ending market competition. Due to this, the state must intervene and nationalize the company and help re-establish market competition.

[[File:Georgist.png]] Property [[File:Urbanism.png]]
Owfism supports a massive construction of social housing in order to eliminate homelessness entirely all across the world.

Owfism believes that the solution to the housing crisis is extremely simple, and that is building more housing.

Owfism also supports 3D Printed Housing to be implemented, as it has very low prices compared to normal housing and as such allows poorer people to not fall into homelessness.

Owfism believes in a more than 20% increase in current housing construction, with there being no rent controls, no single-family housing. This is to match housing construction levels with the global rate of population growth but also to entirely end homelessness as we know it. All of these houses are gonna be social, public housing.

Owfism also supports implementation of a Land Value Tax (LVT) in order to reduce and even eliminate other forms of taxation on income, property, trade and purchases.

However, Owfism supports keeping some pigovian taxes like Carbon, Alcohol, Tobacco and Gas Taxes. Also supporting a 0.1% Financial Transactions Tax. (The way this would be turned into a citizens dividend will be explained in another section).

[[File:Socliber.png]] Universal Basic Income [[File:UBI.png]]
Owfism advocates for the replacement of current welfare programs with a monthly 1,500 $ citizens dividend also known as an Universal Basic Income. The government shall give out this revenue from revenue generated from LVT + Pigovian + Fin. Transaction Taxes as outlined previously.

In total, this would be 18,000 $ a year or (if we base this on America) 5.4 Trillion in total. Keep in mind, this is removing all forms of Welfare spending ( Social Security, Economic Security, Pensions etc.) which in total are 2.8 Trillion. So yes, this will not be a drastic spending increase, still an increase, however, a necessary one.

Owfism believes this could be a necessary step in solving world poverty as every citizen regardless of age and wealth can receive such Universal Basic Income. This would have great effects and result in possibly the biggest lifting of people out of the poverty line of below 2.30 $ a day and even the less arbitrary 7.40 $ a day line.

Owfism also believes this will be helpful in a Post-Work scenario where individual human work will be replaced by machines and as such they will no longer receive payment, so to prevent them from falling into poverty, the 1,500 $ UBI will be extremely useful in keeping people above the poverty line and make a post-work society more utopian rather than dystopian.

[[File:Libms.png]] Markets & Co-Operatives [[File:Neo-Wolffism.png]]
Owfism believes that free markets are necessary and that they can exist without there being capitalism in place. Advocating for an economic system known as Market Socialism.

That is, Owfism believes the means of production are owned publicly, and the allocation of resources follows market rule. This shall be achieved through worker co-operatives to allow the development of a Market Socialist economy.

[[File:Synd.png]] Workplace Democracy [[File:Greensynd.png]]
Owfism is an advocate for Workplace Democracy and in general policies that give more power to the workers. Owfism believes that workers should have every right in being able to elect a CEO. Owfism believing that democracy must be expanded into the workplace to truly improve democracy across the world.

Owfism also agrees with the syndicalist movement, believing that there must be a resurgence in unions, at least, in a period where work is still around and where work has not yet been inevitably replaced by a Post-Work society.

[[File:World_Federalism2.png]] United World [[File:Confed.png]]
Owfism believes World unification into a global World Confederation is necessary in the future to allow the human race to go into space and to combat our problems far easier than we do today on the nation-state model.

Owfism believes a Confederation is necessary as it will be a good solution which will satisfy nationalists as they will have strong autonomy in this new world, based on the principles of Confederalism.

To achieve this, however, Owfism believes it must begin on a continental level, with each individual continent unifying itself into one state, preferably a Confederation. The first ones are to be Europe and Oceania, as they are the most likely continents to do so, then America and Africa and finally Asia, creating the global Confederation.

[[File:Cball-USA.png]] West vs East [[File:Cball-China.png]]
Owfism believes the West has done some good stuff, like creation of the defensive alliance NATO, the economic alliance EU, however, it criticizes the West for how it handled them, with NATO sometimes not being defensive in nature and the EU being too pro-austerity and capitalistic. It also likes how it opened the world up to globalization, making it easier to have economic unity. However, it criticizes it for being not so humanitarian.

Owfism also heavily criticizes the West on the fact that it created the surveillance state and got rid of personal privacy through the PATRIOT Act in the name of counter-terrorism, which, naturally should had at least ended, but it has not, meaning that it was just a ploy. This has also been adopted by the East, with China especially utilizing them for the Social Credit System and also to facially recognize them.

Owfism also criticizes the West for seemingly just intentionally making it harder by not simply building more goddamn houses and ending rent control, banning single-family zoning. With the housing crisis practically stealing 74% growth in the US GDP, which could had resulted in China not being an economic competitor at all as China would have a significantly smaller GDP at least with the 74% Growth in the US GDP. There are many more things to criticize the West for, however, this is it.

Owfism criticizes the East too as while they are against Western Imperialism they are also performing their own style of Imperialism, for example, Russia with Ukraine and China with Taiwan. Unlike some people however, it does not believe that Ukraine and Taiwan are the same (PolyMatter has an interesting video about this).

Owfism also criticizes the East for also, like the West, failing to fix the very simple to solve housing crisis and solving climate change. Just like the West.

Owfism also criticizes the authoritarian and even totalitarian nature of the East, as it strips people of peoples freedoms and prevents them from conducting fair democracy.

[[File:Semidirect.png]] Democracy [[File:E-Democracy.png]]
Owfism believes a Semi-Direct Democracy is the way to go, this means that people can vote on legislation and other citizens petitions and initiatives through a popular referendum, this is similar to Direct Democracy, however, there is still an elected chamber, however, it is more accountable to the masses. As such, it is not completely a Direct form of Democracy.

Owfism also believes E-Democracy is a way to go, believing democracy must also be digitalized. This has the added advantage of making voting much more accessible in areas where polling stations are too far and allows even lazy people who do not want to go to the polling stations. Boosting voter turn out. A famous argument against this is that it makes it easier for hackers to just rig the election for one guy, however, this can be easily resolved through machine learning, detecting whenever fraud is there or not.

[[File:Ectrans.png]] Environment [[File:Envi.png]]
Owfism heavily supports investment into Renewable Energy such as Solar and Wind power. Owfism also wants to invest into the technology known as Green Hydrogen, believing it can help reduce emissions where it is harder to reduce like agriculture, shipping, airline, steel and concrete industries. For example, Green Hydrogen can also be used to increase the number of fertilizer in the world.

Owfism also wants to remove the painful animal-grown meat as it causes pollution and instead replace it with lab-grown meat, having the same taste and proteins however it is grown painlessly.

Owfism also supports Nuclear Power, hoping to achieve Nuclear Fusion but also make Small-Nuclear Reactors and Thorium Reactors much more mainstream through government subsidies.

Owfism also wants to end the usage of plastic and to also invest in robots that eat up plastic and also in worms that eat up plastic in order to reduce the plastic garbage problem, with some plastics to be recycled (only 10% of plastics).

Owfism also wants to make housing complexes to be more Greener, replacing gas stoves with electric ones, basically electrifying all forms of energy that we utilize in order to end our reliance on fossil fuels, based on the Solar Punk Model.

[[File:Multicult.png]] Cultural Issues [[File:Civlibert.png]]
On LGBT+ rights, Owfism firmly supports their right to get married. And advocates for them to have more freedoms overall, believing them to be humans just like us and as such they must have equal rights.

On drugs, Owfism believes in legalizing all drugs however he believes regulation is necessary just like on alcohol and tobacco. Such as a minimum consumption age and even in the form of a pigovian tax.

On whistleblowers, Owfism believes they should be given way more rights and their activities should not be considered criminal but rather should be considered a right, as anyone has a right to have an open and transparent government.

On immigration, Owfism believes that immigration should not be restricted, believing anyone has a right to go to another country if they want and that country should not forbid them to do so. Owfism believes in Multiculturalism, wanting co-habitation of every culture in an united World.

[[File:Laicism.png]] Religion [[File:Laicism.png]]
Owfism advocates for the separation of church and state, believing that the church should not be a business of the state. Owfism also believes that churches must be taxed.

Owfism also believes that everyone can practice whatever religion they personally want, as such, Owfism believes in upholding freedom of religion in society.

[[File:Klep.png]] Prisons [[File:Sec.png]]
Owfism believes that the current prison system must be entirely reformed into a more humanitarian, rehabilitative system. This should be based on the Norwegian model where the maximum life sentence is only 15 years and the prison itself looks like a typical house. As such, it allows the prisoner to rehabilitate and stop being a criminal.

Owfism is also against punishment-style prison as it only punishes him which makes him more mentally insane which if he escapes or his sentence ends will most likely just stab more people or do more crimes. Practically doing the exact opposite.

Owfism is also against the death penalty as it goes against basic human rights such as the right to life, along with that it also goes against the right to not be subjected to torture and other cruel, inhumane treatment. As such, it believes in getting rid of it.

[[File:Univhealth.png]] Healthcare Policy [[File:Welf.png]]
Owfism believes in the implementation of single-payer universal healthcare, believing it to result in cheaper healthcare allowing poorer people to afford basic medical necessities, but also in some more unexpected advantages such as reduced waiting times. As such it can save many lives which previously under a non-universal healthcare system could not had been saved.

Owfism also believes that this Universal Healthcare System be called the Universal Healthcare Service (UHS). Most people will be guaranteed a free but also effective system of healthcare. While this will not be perfect, it will be very great as it could result in increased life expectancy. Rich people can have a private, but more costly, not too much, only slightly more costly alternative also provided by the UHS.

[[File:Scientocracy_Small.png]] Education [[File:MathTheo.png]]
Owfism believes in free K-12 Education and free college tuition, despising the concept of tuition fees, believing them to be hindering poorer families and only allowing rich students to go to college, practically segregating them educationally. Making the poor dumber and the rich smarter, which is not fair.

It wants subjects to be taught based on facts and truth and also impartially, especially History. Thinking that history is being taught to favor nationalism and that should be changed, saying that humanity cannot ever know the true history of the world under their own country's point of view and that history must always talk about real historical events regardless if they were bad for the country or not.

Owfism wants lunches at schools to be of the highest quality, completely despising the current system which does not even offer them the bare minimum, with the current lunch making less mentally capable but also less energetic. Public toilets also need a necessary overhaul into more cleaner places and not be a disgrace to hygiene overall.

Owfism also believes in the fact that schools must be more interactive than they are now, believing in an evolution not seen in practically the entire existence of schooling. That is digitalizing school services, there was only a glimpse of this during the COVID-19 pandemic however that was miniscule compared to the system I want to implement.

[[File:Youth.png]] Youth Politics [[File:Childism.png]]
Owfism believes in youth politics, thinking that if the youth aren't taught politics then we may never have competent politicians ever again, arguing it as a necessary step that we must take in order to have a politically-educated population.

Schools shall have a special curriculum dedicated to it, which allows students to participate in school elections, being able to create their own political parties and overall learning them about the political game, how to properly campaign in elections etc. It also fully supports and encourages political parties having their own youth wings, as it allows young people to learn politics.

[[File:Spaceexplor.png]] Space [[File:Space.png]]
Owfism believes that the long term goal of the human race is to become a galactic or even inter-galactic civilization.

As such, Owfism supports propping up space exploration more than ever before so that we can colonize the Moon, Mars and even our entire solar system, discover new things about our universe, make new technologies never seen before. It will be an up for humanity.

Owfism wants an united Human Confederacy to rule the galaxy and even other galaxies based on an Owfist model.

With this Confederacy Owfism allows other humans to establish self-autonomous communities with their own personal beliefs and policies, practically establishing places which allow utopian systems of thought to emerge: Like Anarcho-Communism, Communalism etc.

Owfism also supports using Space Colonization to drastically change the energy usage of humanity and also drastically increase the usage of energy. As such, it supports the creation of Dyson spheres around stars and even around some Black holes, allowing humanity to increase its energy output and heavily increase us on the Kardashev scale.

Owfism also is interested in the idea of Star Spaceships, allowing us to move our Solar System not only when something bad is gonna happen, such a star coming too close and messing it up or just whenever we want, this would technically help the Sun have a higher life expectancy.

Owfism believes that in 1000 years or even sooner humanity may just become extinct if we stay confined to this planet and not explore space. And if not it believes that if 1 billion years from now we do not go to space we may as well say goodbye to our existence and any other life forms. As such believing it is necessary to go to another planet which has life. Or even some moons that have life for us to live in. Or for us to even live on space stations with artificial life so that we can live.

[[File:Antwork.png]] Post-Work World [[File:Antwork.png]]
In the opinion of Owfism, a world without work will become an inevitability as automation becomes ever more rampant and will soon spread to practically all sectors of the economy.

This would naturally leave people jobless, and practically remove their wages and even welfare if it is under Capitalism. Putting practically everyone but the already rich back in poverty and creating a dystopia. However, I do not advocate for this.

I want a post-work world that is not dystopian but rather utopian, as an Universal Basic Income of 1,500$/year shall be implemented in order to allow all working class citizens to stay afloat and not fall back to the poverty line. Creating a world where everyone can truly live happily in the world confederacy.

[[File:INTJ.png]] Behaviour [[File:Ennea-5w6.png]]
Owfism has an INTJ personality type, being highly analytical, creative and logical overall as an individual.

Owfism has a 5w6 Enneagram type, being practical, helpful and organized overall as an individual.
