Geoliberal socialism

Geoliberal socialism is the ideology of justantherprimate. It is civically liberal, economically left, and culturally progressive. He believes that the ideas of liberalism and Georgism will work better in a market socialist society.

State & Democracy
Geoliberal socialism defends a Liquid & Participative democracy, a semi-presidential republic, and Democratic federalism. he believes that the problems of the current democracy will be solved by increasing citizens' ability to have a real say in the topics they care about. It is also flexible and realistic. he supports federalism or a highly decentralized unitary government because it's the fairest most efficient way to run a government, also states or regions should follow a bioregional logic.it also supports open source & digital government ideas, such as the Estonian zero-bureaucracy.

Economics
Economically, Geoliberal socialism advocates for Keynesian/ordoliberal economics within a socialist market-based system.

Ownership
Geoliberal socialism believes that private property is immoral and should be abolished because private ownership is a predatory monopoly, it gives the bourgeoisie unearned wealth, so, it should be abolished in all cases except land, which should be reformed through georgist policies. Geoliberal socialism proposes

1.-public/common ownership

Geoliberal socialism believes in the nationalization of land & natural resources (nationalization not as estatization but the understanding that natural resources & land belong to the community/people). Also, other natural monopolies, services that all of society relies on, sectors that don't benefit from competition, should be publicly owned and run without concern for profit. The upper management of these publicly owned bodies would be democratically elected and workers and consumers will have a lot of power in decisions. The services in question include:


 * Land & Natural resources
 * Electric grid
 * Water and sanitation systems
 * Railways & interregional transportation services
 * Local transportation services (run by local authority)
 * Postal service
 * Health service
 * Government software and algorithms

2.- the cooperative ownership of the means of production Geoliberal socialism aims to fully socialize the means of production, either by slow reform or a "democratic revolution" Small and medium-sized enterprises and even private big businesses will be allowed if they certify as a “B-corps”, socially and environmentally responsible businesses & all shall be unionized, serious penalties will be put in place if these regulations are broken. Support and incentivize Co-determination, Unions & cooperative enterprises, such as consumer co-ops, workers' co-operatives, credit unions, and other institutions. Cooperative enterprises will make up the majority of economic activity and employment in the market.

3.-the common ownership of ideas (pirate politics)

Taxation
Geoliberal socialism wants to implement a tax shift from the current taxes to: 3 main types of taxes: redistributive tax, ecotaxes/Georgist, sin taxes.

1.-redistributive tax:
 * Wealth tax:
 * inheritance tax:
 * harberger tax:
 * automated payment transaction tax + bank tax:
 * social tax(income):
 * data tax:

2.-ecotaxes/Georgist:
 * land value tax:
 * carbon tax:
 * natural-resource consumption tax:
 * point-source toxic/water/air pollution tax:

3.-sin tax:
 * fat tax:
 * sugar tax:
 * alcohol tax:
 * Cigarette tax:
 * meat tax:

the majority of tariffs will be eliminated and replaced by Eco tariffs

Monetary Policy
In monetary policy, he supports the synthesis of New Keynesian and Post-Keynesian economics, He hopes that one day policies like Modern monetary theory will prove correct. If they prove incorrect, New Keynesian policies should be embraced with a Post-Keynesian touch. He kinda likes Modern monetary theory a lot.

Welfare
He wants a strong welfare state to ensure that members of a society can meet basic human needs, have a meaningful life, and increased productivity through greater support for deeper specialization. Also, welfare saves money, like the American healthcare system would be cheaper if universal and single-payer. He supports the implementation of a pack of universal welfare programs such as:

Universal basic services
UBS advocates a wider range of free public services enabling every citizen to meet their basic needs and achieve certain levels of security, opportunity, and participation. The core principles are: Universal: guaranteed entitlement according to need and not one’s ability to pay. Basic: sufficient rather than minimal, enabling people to meet their basic needs, participate in society, and flourish. Services: collectively generated activities that serve the public interest.

Under UBS, the provision of free public services must go beyond health or education to cover other basic necessities (e.g., housing, care, transport, information, nutrition). UBS will be more egalitarian and redistributive than our current welfare system.

UBS can also be more sustainable by decarbonizing the economy in a just way – rather than disproportionally loading the costs on the lower income brackets – and by supporting sustainable consumption corridors.

Provide Public, affordable housing & Homeless shelter
 * Housing:

Implement Universal, Broad, Single-payer healthcare & National Social care services
 * Healthcare:

Boost Public, free education.Guaranteed Universal access to education Implement a good educational method like Design-based learning & Phenomenon-based learning.
 * Education:

Improve Local transport to access other services, shops, and employment. Fully implement Free, public, sustainable transport Build High-speed rail, Light rail transit, Bus rapid transit,
 * Transport:

National Foodbank Food security Food Stamps
 * Nutrition:

Access to communications that enable participation in society as well as access to the other services. Freedom of information Municipal wireless network Public library
 * Information :

Universal basic capital
UBC is another way of looking at social security. UBC is a predistribution mechanism to address wealth inequality. Having a liquid and protected safety net to fall back on puts workers in a fairer bargaining position, the value of one’s combined assets can serve as a buffer in times of income fluctuation or emergencies.
 * Postal Banking System: and a guaranteed high yield savings account managed by the postal bank.


 * Baby Bonds: Bonds from birth funded directly out of Treasury and held in an account by the federal government, similar to Social Security.


 * Government Retirement Accounts: Administered by either the Treasury or Federal Reserve as a pooled pension plan, GRAs would be individually owned accounts, returning individual contributions just like 401(k).

Universal basic income
This UBI should, and can be, entirely independent of welfare payments, unemployment insurance, and so forth, thus ameliorating the concern that it would replace the welfare state. He has his own model of UBI that is the mixing of these models:

In this system, a percentage of capital stock (shares) from every initial public offering (IPO) will be channeled into a Commons Capital Depository, with the associated dividends funding a universal basic dividend (UBD).
 * Universal basic dividend (UBD)

Citizen's dividend is a proposed policy based upon the Georgist principle that the natural world is the common property of all people thus everyone has a right to benefit from it. It is proposed that all citizens receive regular payments (dividends) from revenue raised by taxing the value of land, natural resources, and the rest of the commons.
 * Citizen's dividend / Commons dividend

This concept is a form of universal basic income (UBI), where the citizen's dividend depends upon the value of natural resources or what could be titled the commons

The system imposes a carbon tax on the carbon emissions, and then distributes the revenue of this tax over the entire population (equally, on a per-person basis) as a monthly income or regular payment. He supports implementing them either combined or separated.
 * Carbon fee and dividend

Social wealth fund
He supports the implementation of a social wealth fund almost exactly the same as the Norwegian Government Pension Fund. It will be funded from a part of the taxation of the commons (mainly of mining) and the surplus of the public enterprises. And it will fund mainly the welfare state and government projects. it will strictly follow the guidelines of ethical investing, to avoid investing in projects that damage the planet and society. This means the SWF will invest in green projects, cooperatives, and other democratic enterprises. An advantage is that the state can make a longer-term investment, hopefully attracting other forms of finance to support firms that private investors are not yet prepared to invest in.
