Torontoism



Torontoism is a civically liberal (leaning libertarian left), economically left-wing yet pro-market, and culturally center-left ideology. It is also the self-insert ideology of Canadian multi-genre musician Antonio Toronto.

They believe in using liberal democracy to vote in a libertarian socialist government that converts the current capitalist economy of the country they are elected in (Its usually envisioned to be Canada, as Antonio Toronto was born, raised, and currently lives in Toronto, Canada. However, this could work for any liberal democracy) into a market-socialist economy based around the conversion of all shops and franchise locations into democratically run worker's co-ops. They also believe in liquid democracy to make liberal democracy more direct and put more political power into the hands of the 99%

Standard Torontoists (like their counterparts) believe that anyone should be able to do whatever they want as long as they don't hurt anyone (meaning themselves, other people, or the law), this basically means that any should be able to do what makes them happy, date anyone who consents and say whatever they want, and as long as it doesn't hurt themselves, others, or breaks the law, then no one (including the government) should be able to deter them, regardless of sexuality, race, religion, or gender.

Also like their counterparts, they also believe that progressivism can go too far. For instance, they believe that anyone should be able to identify as they want and dress as they want and the public should follow as they say, but they don't think that kids should be allowed to drag.

Torontoists (like their counterparts) believe in Market Socialism as the perfect economic system for a realistic socialist nation. They believe that commerce isn't the problem (in fact, they believe that markets are the only way to ensure that a worker's labor is valued properly in most cases and that until they can find a way to abolish all labor the only way to insure the value of labor is trade) but rather property, specifically private ownership of the means of production. They believe that all businesses and brands should be turned into worker's co-ops, in which the workers democratically run the businesses, in order to accurately ensure workers' rights, equitable pay, environmental protection, and innovation in our society.

Standard Torontoists believe there is still time to achieve socialism using liberal democracy, and that we must make smart electoral moves while the window of achievable democratic socialism is open. They believe that with the rise of unbearable poverty and climate change due to the chasing of profit brought upon by corporate elites and capitalism, the only way out is socialism. However, they also believe that revolution is inherently violent, and blood spilling is immoral in all instances and counter-productive to the leftist cause. Rather, they believe in strategic moves in parliament and during election time.

They also believe in liquid democracy as an upgrade to a representative system, which allows the people to have easier entry to positions of political power. One can see this in their commitment to low barriers to participation and the accountability of delegates. An example of low barriers to participation is drastically lowering the minimum cost of running for the head of a political party. An example of the accountability of delegates is the fact that once a Torontoists goals are achieved, an electoral district could hypothetically call for a snap election to recall their delegate.

In terms of what type of government they would want, they would want a welfare state, which would be elected via liberal democracy in which every political party would adapt to the market socialist economy and become "socialist with adjectives" so to say. Lets use Canada as an example, the Liberal Party would become Liberal Socialists, The Progressive Conservatives would become Conservative Socialists, The NDP would continue on their Torontoist path or become regular Libertarian Socialists, The Green Party would become Eco-Socialists, the PPC would become Reactionary Socialists, so on and so forth.

If only you were less extreme...  - Same as the above, but your a capitalist.
