Overview
Owfism is a democratic ideology. Democracy has overall been the best system compared to all the others we tried and democracies are less likely to fail as a country compared to those which don't have democratic institutions.

Alongside this, I favor reforms to our current system so that democracy is stronger, more inclusive is tougher on corruption and is more open and accountable to the people. With this, I support a constitutional  parliamentary  federal  republic as my form of government. Also, he supports laicism,  polyculturalism,  online voting and the  removal of mass surveillance.
 * -| Governance =

[[File:Liqdem.png]] Liquid Democracy [[File:Liqdem.png]]
Owfism prefers a government that is of the people, by the people and for the people. As such, I support a republic. Specifically, a  liquid democracy. I see it as the compromise between  representative democracy and  direct democracy. So, the people have a right to choose to act as an individual or as a delegate. This is what separates liquid democracy from other forms of democracy. This allows people to be selective about their political participation in different areas. I also recognize the need for evidence-based policies, seeing the rise in anti-intellectualism as being a societal disaster, especially with the colossal problems we're facing. I believe that science should have a bigger influence over public policy, as science shows to be a guiding force for innovation and progress.

I am a firm supporter of republicanism, and I want places that are  monarchies (ceremonial or absolute) to become republics. I used to support keeping ceremonial monarchies but after the death of Elizabeth II this is no longer the case. Even then, I still wouldn't implement them in countries that are already republics.

In the case of countries that are poor economically I believe that a technocratic government be temporarily established to guide the populace towards prosperity and innovation, as I said, science has always led to innovation and progress for a country and the world. Keep in mind though, this may not typically happen.

[[File:Parl.png]] Parliamentarianism [[File:Parl.png]]
Owfism does not support presidential systems or even  semi-presidential systems as in my opinion the president just seems like a democratic monarch or whatever, as he has all the power. Personally, I would support a parliamentary system, with the prime minister being, as head of government the one with more power while the president merely being ceremonial. This will allow for the people and their opinions to be more represented.

[[File:Civlibert.png]] Civil Libertarianism [[File:Civlibert.png]]
Owfism is very pro-privacy, with his government operating under the governmental ideas of  classical liberalism. He's against the surveillance state that is very much present and engrained within our modern society, as I believe that the  expansion of the surveillance state in the world has definitely not been for the interest of the people. As such, reforms need to be enacted to weaken the surveillance state so that it doesn't invade our day-to-day lives. This would include engraining privacy as a true human right and make sure that companies engrain privacy as a core value. I also support getting rid of unnecessary spying programs that do not serve the people and only just track their data and information. The government should respect the privacy of the people in their daily lives. Things like CCTV cameras in public places are not really that bad, they can actually be useful in catching  criminals and all, but that's what they should be used for like, yo, we don't need wire tapping, this is too much. It infringes on our liberties and expands authoritarianism. With this, I am very much civically libertarian and obviously not authoritarian. So this makes me a libertarian. Although, I am still sort of critical of anarchist societies though, as while their intentions are good their track record ain't good to say the least. So yea, I still believe there should be a state.

Friends
Yoda8soup Thought (//) - You're not that bad! You want worker ownership of the means of production like I do. To be honest, economically we are basically alike. Although, your control on free trade basically goes too far, I hate tariffs. Based! (//) - Not bad! Especially on economics and a bit on social policy, we are actually in agreement, however you need to be more progressive and more internationalist, otherwise, not bad, as said before. Mattism (//) - Not a bad ideology, we are pretty similar, the only difference we have is that you're too protectionist for me and are also in favor of defensive democracy, you are also more economically moderate but other than that, you are a good ideology.

Celfloskyism (//) - Pretty nice ideology, and it clearly seems you want not just equality but also freedom for the Chinese people, although I don't really like the ideas of Irredentism, your cycle democracy is not really something I like. You support virtue ethics and existentialism, although I am not that utilitarian though. Otherwise, pretty good!

AshleyHereism (//) - Yo, this is actually based for an anarchist, existentialism and absurdism are very based! Oscar Wilde is also based! I don't agree with Diogenes, but he was savage and independent, and I like that. It's nice how you support some Stoicism. Overall, you're mostly an anarchist version of me, which is pretty interesting.

Uzarashvilism (//) - Economics wise, you are pretty similar to me, as we both believe in a socialist market economy, and the fact that we both believe that the Nordics are just (for now) the countries with the best economic model (or rather, least evil) in the world. Not bad, however, our difference comes in social and international issues, first off, you are too conservative, you can at least be more progressive by supporting SJW-Lite. Also on international issues, you can still be a globalist and oppose "economic globalization" (like me). So yea, too isolationist. But yea, pretty good overall.

Glencoeism (//) - Wow, you are pretty based! I agree with you on PWA, we both stride for a sort of Co-operative, meritocratic society, if only you were more global... BE MORE GLOBAL!

Inexistent Ideology (//) - Not bad, just be less nationalist, more progressive and also more pro-market. Oh and more democratic. In rest pretty good.

Rocksism (//) - Not bad, and yes, Camus is based. You may be too communalist and marxist for my liking, but overall, pretty good!

BrainRustism (//) - Some of your stances on education are pretty admirable, yes, you should be able to sell candy at school, it improves competition and prevents a school monopoly engaging in unfair price gouging. You're actually not that bad, even if I disagree with you on some things.

Neo-Kiraism (//) - Your philosophy of absurdism is based, you're agreeable in some areas like eco-socialism,  but I am not that Marxist overall, preferring mutualist socialism instead. Internationalism is based, but come on, you got to support a world federation. Overall, not too bad.

Pantheonism (//) - Pretty interesting ideology and not that bad at all, pretty based when it comes to diplomacy, but still, why monarchism and why can't you be more progressive?

Atronism (//) - Marxist-leninist, I know, you seem to be slightly authoritarian and not libertarian, but hey at least you're progressive (even if way too progressive) and are Laicist, like me. Which is absolutely based. A more leftist and slightly more authoritarian version of me. Not bad.

Braun Spencer Thought (//) - You are basically reincarnated LBJ, your economic policies are not that bad but you should be Socialist and while you support a world federation I despise your support of tariffs and also your support of interventionism. Interventionism should typically be the last call not the first call. Pretty close onto being in frenemies.

Frenemies
Post-Councilism (//) - I hate vanguard centralism, and I am just generally not really into Communism in general, nor do I agree with Zizek, although you're quite literate in political/philosophical theory, which I admire. I wish to have said more but sadly I am not that literate in the beliefs you have so...

HelloThere314ism (//) - Your beliefs are not really beliefs that I tend to agree with, and also, on some parts, your page is unfinished so I don't really know how to rate you, but it is clear you know theory, so that's nice.

Ultroneism (//) - You are the most literate user on here on basically anything, now that's something, however, my opinions on your ideolo- I mean philosophy. In rest, my ideology disagrees with your ideologies on many things or I am just too illiterate on some things to give a proper opinion.

BasedManism (//) - I am just gonna beyond the ideas of based and cringe and just put you in frenemies tier definitely not because of the fact I am too lazy to read your page right now although I don't know, your page doesn't seem to mention ethics for example, only seems like it mentions metaphysics and logic. So, I can't completely judge your philosophical beliefs, so yea, you go here. Also come on at least I have some influence from Kant in epistemology

FinalFantasy24ism (//) - Your ideology is literally just Hu Jintao as a self-insert. No really, that's what it is. So you belong here.

Enemies
Implianium (//) - Its nice how you hate religion, but bruh why state atheism? And come on, why do you support genocide, ultranationalism and anti-urbanism!?! And god dang it you want psychopaths to be their own class, what is this? I really hope this is LARP.

New Model Of Cheesenism (//) - Unironic islamo-fascist. You are no good.

Lanceism (//) - Eh, the only tolerable thing of you is your move to more moderate economics, but your forced christianization and support of theocracy is very cringe. Also stop being so traditionalist like, why oppose gays and abortion? Oh and why the hell do you want cigarettes to be legal, which cause 480,000 deaths/year, x48 more than heroin and crack which literally kills nobody, illegal? Your ideology is still terrible, even if slightly improved.

Reginald thought (idk) - What? Climate change will only be eventful in 500 years? Bro, what? It's already eventful and is changing stuff NOW. Let alone 500 years from now. I don't reject soup kitchens and charity, but it isn't useful to just almost replace government welfare with it. Also why illegalize drugs and trans people? This is cringe.


 * -| Quadrants

Friends
Libertarian Left - This is probably the best quadrant out there and the one my ideology belongs to as you know, I am economically left-wing but also civically libertarian. Tbh, it better than the other quadrants even if it has some people that I may not personally like.

Libertarian Unity - You're not perfect, as you just are moderate and all but hey at least you want the people to be free and aren't as bad as Libertarian Right.

Frenemies
Libertarian Right - Your economics are awful and most of the things about you are also awful, but uh... you at least want people to be free?

Center - Stop being so moderate! PROGRESS! PROGRESS!

Left Unity - It's nice that you advocate for left-wing economics but can you pls be less statist?

Enemies
Authoritarian Left - Oh come on, examples of you in practice have never turned out to be good (the Soviet Union, Maoist China etc.) they all became authoritarian states that didn't really manage to achieve Socialism.

Authoritarian Right - You not only are authoritarian (and even totalitarian) you also combine it with the exploitative capitalist system, bruh.

Authoritarian Unity - You combine the worst of both Authoritarian Left and Authoritarian Unity. (Although, not all of you guys are completely terrible, still be less statist).

- Hi, I re-added you. Would you mind adding my ideology again?

- Readd me please.

- Btw, the geolibertarian market socialism page was my very old self insert, idc about it anymore so you can revamp it if you want, kinda like what Aaron did with Bleeding Heart Geolibertarian Market Socialism.
 * [[File:OwfBall.png]] Owfism - Wow, I actually didn't know that, I just saw the page and just saw how accurate it was to my ideology, so I just adopted that. Yea, I could maybe revamp it.
 * - Also, could you please add me?


 * - Add me?


 * - Add Please.


 * [[File:BasedMan.png]]BasedManism - add me?


 * [[File:Uzarashvilism.png]]Uzarashvilism - Yo there, add me?


 * - Re-add me fellow Wilde enjoyer.


 * - Monism isn't the principle that mind and body are united in each "individual" human. It is the principle that all of reality is one thing, that there is no body or mind but rather these are modes or aspects of the one thing, as such you and I and every other human are actually one "object" or thing and thus we do not have bodies, but rather each seemingly individual body is actually just a "limb" or part of the whole.


 * - Could I use text of your ideology to my policies?
 * [[File:OwfBall.png]] Owfism - Yes you very much can.


 * - "Let's first begin with the definitions of both ideas, first off, rationalism is the practice of basing actions and opinions on reason and knowledge. Then, empiricism is the opposite, with it being the practice of basing actions and opinions on belief or emotional response." WHAT? - Rationalism is the principle that knowledge derives from reasoning, as such logical reasoning. While Empiricism is the epistemological belief that sensory experience such as scientific observation is the source of knowledge - it has nothing to do with belief, emotion, or opinions. What utter dribble, as if Descartes didn't also utilise empirical arguments and Locke didn't use rationalist principles.

- Yo! You're a cybersocialist now too that's based as hell! :D
 * - Gorbachev is based [[File:Gigachad.png]]

Glencoe- add me Plz


 * - This is definitely me when I confuse conceptualism and nominalism.
 * [[File:OwfBall.png]] Owfism - I never heard of that term before, I had heard of nominalism and I thought that would fit, I will change that.
 * - "The main problem of metaphysics, which precedes the essence of objects is the problem of universals and particulars." - Essences are univerals so it doesn't precede, but is simultaneous - and if one was taking a purely historical look at the evolution of the problem, essence actually precedes.  "There is a view however, that asserts that universals don't exist, that being conceptualism" - Neither Conceptualism nor Nominalism assert that universals do not exist. let me go over the quadrants; Platonic or Strong Realism holds that universals are mind independent and transcendent, that is they are abstract and exist as neither material or immaterial objects. Then you have Aristotelian or Immanent realism that holds that the "form" or essence or universal of lets say a cat does not exist in and of itself, but is rather immanent and never seperate from the particular. Then you have a range of Nominalisms which can include conceptual nominalism or conceptualism. Conceptualism holds that the concepts within the mind are univerals, i.e. I imagine a cat as a universal cat that is neither a tabby or a simese or black or tall or etc. While the nominalist holds that the only universal is the actual word cat, and thus the imagined cat is always a particular cat that you have experienced or can mitch-match together.  "And even if there was a form, what would the perfect form of "cat" be?" Plato's 'Forms' may be perfect (even this is not strictly true, because Plato's Forms are just the absolute form i.e. a cat and nothing else, or the "Good" and nothing else, unlike say a small cat which is both a cat and small) - but universals are just shared properties that all the particulars have, i.e. a tall cat and a small cat are both cats, doesn't make "cat" perfect.  "In conclusion, I believe that the only thing that actually exists are merely material particulars" Nominalism nor Conceptualism leads to materialism, All nominalists historically have been empiricists, but not materialists. As such Ockham believes in immaterial objects such as God and the Angels, Berkeley was a subject Idealist, but someone like Hobbes thought everything was matter.

FinalFantasy24-Please Add me:https://polcompballanarchy.miraheze.org/wiki/UserWiki:FinalFantasy24 BrainRustism - Add?
 * - Am I missing something? Where Neokira supports Juche?
 * [[File:OwfBall.png]] Owfism - When I added Neokira, it said on their page that they are sympathetic to Juche, maybe they have removed that or something, I should probably look. Edit: Yea, they removed that, I will adjust that in my relations soon

- Do you have discord? BrainRustism - What is it that you disagree?
 * [[File:OwfBall.png]] Owfism - Sorry I don't.
 * [[File:OwfBall.png]] Owfism - I don't really agree with an armed insurrection against the school system, and also its not school that is causing us to fail its the un-meritocratic system that we live in, which sadly, school doesn't mention us. The problem with school can be solved through reforms not armed insurrection.
 * [[File:Glencoe.png]] Glencoe- Hydrogen Powered planes are green they should be used
 * [[File:OwfBall.png]] Owfism - Yea I kagree, I know, I said the thing I said because well even those are not that common compared to regular planes.

Pantheonism - Add me?

New Model Of Cheesenism - re added me

Atronism - Seems like you've shifted a little bit more to the left, which is based. Add me?

- I arrive with a question. Is your flag supposed to be a reference to this?
 * [[File:OwfBall.png]] Owfism - Yes

Braun Spencer Thought - Add me, maybe?

Lancebarnett - Trash economics and social ideas

Lancebarnett - add me

reginald thought - add me pls

- Ayo can you re-add me I re-added you and you are based as ever. :)


 * - Completely wrong about the egoist on the social contract. Please don't spread misinformation.
 * [[File:OwfBall.png]] Owfism - What is the egoist stance on the social contract then?
 * - The state of nature has never existed and is merely a thought experiment, you are immediately born in a social relation of power, the family or community, you don't spring out of thr ground but rather have a mother. Secondly, Stirner is not a philosopher of "Negative Liberty", his critique of freedom and liberty is that it can only ever be negative, "freedom from". He doesn't want a state of nature, not absolute negative liberty. And his critique of human rights is not that they are constructed, but rather they are "human" rights and no his rights. They are alienating.

Lanceism - can you edit me for changing views

- Hey Owf, I became a world federalist. Could you update your opinion on my ideology, please?
