"We will improve society, whether society likes it or not.”
Vaushism is economically left, culturally far left ideology that wishes to reform the liberal democratic system into a Democratic Socialist one while eventually overthrowing it through a revolution that would establish a
Libertarian Market Socialist society that would eventually transition into
Anarcho-Syndicalism.
History
Vaush started his online presence as an anarcho-syndicalist who took heavy inspiration from
Noam Chomsky in his ideological analyses (although he would eventually condemn Noam Chomsky for his opinions on Russia) believing in overthrowing the status quo and establishing an anarcho-syndicalist society that would work through the
workers having ownership of the means of production and
liquid democracy flowing from the power of local syndicates, basing this on a belief that
all authority should be questioned and that it is valuable to achieve
democracy in most means, this including the work place, as he would compare the rejection of
kings through a
republican system with the rejection of bosses through a
socialist one.
However with the passage of time Vaush has somewhat moderated into taking less anarchist positions, while still claiming to believe in anarchist principles and being heavily
anti-authoritarian, Vaush has questioned the methods and political theory of
modern anarchist movements, mostly of the
post-left variety
, leading to him distancing from anarchism and taking a
libertarian market socialist stance.
Beliefs
Vaush believes that the best way to achieve utilitarian harm reduction is for people to utilize diverse aims to move towards a more democratic, libertarian and socialist society.
To be more specific, Vaush believes that the left should pursue its aims through a diversity of tactics, utilizing of any powerful positions to push for leftist ideas such as democratic elections, protests, riots, revolution and spreading the socialist message with whatever means socialists can occupy, such as high media positions, video essays, debates, and so on. Vaush sees democracy as a system of governance with checks and balances that guarantee the liberty of its citizens, as such a strong democracy should be establish where the people hold political power and are allowed to influence society and where their human rights are protected.
Though believing in Defensive Democracy and defending authoritarian means when deemed necessary to still maintain a net gain in freedom (such as in his defence of Sankara's authoritarian actions) Vaush is a strong believer in Libertarianism believing that authoritarian influence in government tends to lead to lesser quality of life of the members of a society and that authoritarians must be opposed through violent means, furthermore Vaush believes that socialism is what can achieve the ideals of the enlightment and libertarianism, that of liberty, equality and fraternity, Vaush views Marx's ideology as one mainly focused on freedom, stating that Marx didn't care about equality and that focus and objective of socialism is to build a libertarian, free society.
Socialism as defined by Vaush is simply an ideology that proposes the worker's control the means of production and decommodification of necessities, so it would better manifest through the existance of Worker Cooperatives who would engage in a market system and be owned not by a civillian government or a single boss, but collective by the workers who work there and their leader would be voted on like in republican systems, while this would be the case for most of society, "unelastic markets", that is, industries that provide necessities for human life, such as housing, healthcare, electricity, food, and thus can't fairly participate in the market system and their commodification allows for people to go without these necessities, would be decommodified and owned collectively by everyone in the society.
Alongside that Vaush also believes society is always transitioning to a new step, so even though that Libertarian Market Socialist society would eventually transition into an anarcho-syndicalist one, that too would keep "evolving" into freer and fairer systems as long as socialist values are maintained
