TLDR

I'm an Eco-Cooperativist, American Progressive, Democratic Socialist, Kautskyist, Neo-Marxist, and Alter-Globalist with some added elements. In essence, I want a society where everyone can live a dignified existence free of the oppression of capitalism, imperialism, authoritarianism, and bigotry, in a clean green world.

Economy

To describe my ideal economy I would say, it's a form of Cooperativism that involves a Regulated Market with a Welfare State that would cover things like Universal Healthcare, Public Housing (Specifically Viennese Style Public Housing), Public Transportation, etc. Funded with Progressive Taxation. As well as Partial Democratic Computer Planning of the economy and Workplace Democracy in various forms ranging from complete (100%) to partial (50%) including Cooperatives, Strong Worker Unions, Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOP), and Board-Level Employee Representation (BLER) to establish a fair, equitable, sustainable, and realistic system.

Environment

As an Eco-Cooperativist I strongly advocate for Environmentalism, I believe that unchecked Capitalism is eating the earth alive with wasteful resource extraction and consumption, I see the Green New Deal as a good first step to solving this. But ultimately dismantling Capitalism is an integral step on the road to a sustainable green environment, I think that another integral part of dealing with climate change is developing new Green Technologies, for example in Japan they are developing biodegradable plastics made using seaweed, this would be a big step towards sustainability. Along with new technologies the government should regulate carbon emissions this could be done with a carbon tax among other things. As an Eco-Cooperativist I believe that cooperatives and other forms of workplace democracy play a key role in environmental sustainability, A great example of this is Welch's, They practice environmentally sustainable farming because it is in the best interests of the farmer-owners, whereas in fully private business the corporate owner doesn't care about sustainability, only their own profits.

Social/Philosophical

I believe that everyone regardless of identity should be Equal in opportunity and socially and that as a society we should abide by the Harm Principle and a general philosophy of Inclusion while preserving Harmless Cultural and Traditional Practices. I also believe in a Wildean style of Individualism in which the community and society support individuals, creating the ability for everyone to enjoy their own individuality while still having a productive and cooperative society. I also enjoy Existentialism.

Civics

I believe in a Semi-Direct Democracy in the framework of a Federal Republic with some Parliamentary Elements where people's votes and referendums actually count unlike the current American "Democracy", I believe this federal system could be paired with a Communal Government on the local level similar to Rojava. I also believe in having a Constitution to protect Civil Rights and Liberties, and prevent corruption.

Diplomacy

I want to see Neo-Imperialism done away with and replaced with Global Cooperation and Democratic Self Determination. I believe in using left-wing policies to make my country one worth being proud of making me a kind of Left-Patriot. And like most Alter-Globalists I advocate for Fair Trade policy.

Road to Socialism

When it comes to achieving socialism, I agree with the Centrist or Kautskyist approach of reforming and using Labor Organizations such as Trade Unions, and Worker's Parties to help the worker's condition in the present, while at the same time using those organizations to build Class Consciousness, Popularity, and Revolutionary Momentum to eventually culminate in a popular revolution led by the proletariat. A part of achieving this in The United States is fostering full cooperation between the pro-worker parties in the US, including the Vermontese Progressive Party, Congressional Progressive Caucus, GPUSA, and DSA, my icon is meant to represent this American Progressive-Red-Green cooperation.

Influences and Inspirations

I take heavy influence from Dr. Sun Yat-sen, his revolutionary struggle to overthrow the Qing and his Three Principles of the People, Nationalism, Democracy, and Socialism, he was truly one of the greatest leaders in history with his fiery and pure devotion to his people. On the topic of taking heavy influence from history, I have to mention Red Vienna and the Austromarxists as a whole, their welfare programs and devotion to workers were great, but what I admire most is perhaps their longest standing work, that being the Gemeindebauten. These community homes are incredible, they are accessible to all, they are beautiful, they provide good quality housing, and support working-class folks, and they've survived the test of time and still operate today. Robert M. La Follete is another big inspiration, his policies as governor established direct election of senators, citizen referendum, and protecting workers' unions and cooperatives, all in all an incredible guy who stood tall fighting for the working-class in America. Another big American inspiration is Eugene V. Debs, Debs fought hard for the proletariat and made socialism popular in the States, he strengthened trade unionism in America and was instrumental in winning better conditions for workers. W.E.B. Du Bois was key in the founding of the NAACP and the good that they do to this day, his sociological analysis of racial disparity and capitalism in America was flawless making him an influence on my political thought. A modern progressive I take inspiration from is Bernie Sanders, he has spent his whole life fighting for working folks, his work reducing economic inequality in Burlington and consistently standing up for what is right in Congress and the Senate is an inspiration. Perhaps one of the US's greatest reformers, Martin Luther King Jr., is an influence on my beliefs, his fight for and successes in civil rights forever changed America for the better. One of my greatest inspirations from Latin America is Evo Morales, during his presidency poverty was halved in Bolivia, he codified indigenous and women's rights, and passed laws to protect the environment. And despite being ousted and replaced by a neoliberal puppet, a year later his vice president, Luis Arce, would be elected and allow Morales back into the country, and to this day Morales's party and policies continue to be implemented and are successful in Bolivia. The Japanese Communist Party's use of unions specifically doing production control strikes and using a mix of revolution and reform to make gains was inspiring, and they would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for those meddling kids. The agrarian cooperatives and devotion to land reform of Emiliano Zapata is truly inspiring, fighting until his dying breath for the common folks of Mexico. Other leaders whom I take inspiration from are, Rennyo Monshu of the Hongan-ji, Dekanawidah, Toussaint Louverture, John Stuart Mill, Hastiin Chʼil Haajiní, Ferdinand Lasselle, Eduard Bernstein, Karl Kautsky, Keir Hardie, James Connolly, Rosa Luxemburg, Hồ Chí Minh, Ben Chifley, B. R. Ambedkar, Sanzō Nosaka, Soong Ching-ling, Kenji Miyamoto, Tetsu Katayama, Salvador Allende, Gough Whitlam, Nelson Mandela, Alexander Dubček, Mikhail Gorbachev, Patrice Lumumba, Olof Palme, Ralph Nader, José Mujica, Jeremy Corbyn, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Cornel West, Jacinda Ardern, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Gabriel Boric. Some honorable mentions for figures who weren't politicians/leaders but still influenced my views, Socrates, Plato, Robert Owen, David Ricardo, Charles Darwin, Karl Marx, Oscar Wilde, Daniel De Leon, Herbert George Wells, Franz Kafka, Albert Camus, Pete Seeger, Howard Zinn, Stephen Hawking, Richard D. Wolff, George Lucas, and Greta Thunberg.

• 
  Mr_Beast_0f_93
  (////): Similar to above but worse because of Free market capitalism.

• Great British New Left(/////): very based Democratic Socialist comrade from the UK. :)

• Meridionalism(////): Pretty good Southern Democratic Socialist comrade. :)

• Evolutionary Socialism(///): Very nice. We are so close to the same your just more reformist than me. :) So, I'm happy to call you a comrade!

• Rigby Thought (///): Cause Bolsonaro wasn't corrupt at all. Anyway, you're the average authoritarian conservative, your beliefs represent everything wrong with both the US and Brazil, Capitalism, Neo-imperialism, Plutocratic Democracy, etc. And you're a eugenicist? Yikes. the only redeeming qualities are supporting lgb rights (Sucks that your "Skeptical of the T."), and welfare.

•  BERNHEism
  (////): Not much better than before, but it's an improvement, I guess.

• Gooberism (////): Honestly quite based, my biggest grievance is your social policy.

• Socialist Third Way (///): Very based, I'm glad to see you've joined the Eco-Cooperativists that I started. :) Not sure about the socialist hawkism but most everything else is quite good.

• (Mainstream Hard Left(///): You're pretty based you're a tad moderate and your opposition to referendum and semi-direct democracy is a bit strange, as well as supporting Starmer is a bit of an L, but outside of that you're extremely based. :)

• Tiberius Thought (///): You're definitely to the right of me but I do like that you are favorable towards cooperatives in some sectors of the economy, and you're a great guy. :)

• Neo-Optimateism(////): This looks like the definition of Uber-Capitalism, so not great.

• Deo-Autonomism(////): Way too radical for me but you are definitely not bad, and you seem nice as a person. :)

• Mordecaism (///): Your not terrible, but Liazzes-faire will never work and interventionism is just neo-imperialism. I do like civil libertarianism though. :)

• Owfism (///): We've definitely drifted apart, but I do like the Georgism, welfare, and environmentalism. we have quite a lot of disagreements but you are still a cool person and a friend. :)

• German.red.patriot Thought (///): One of The problems with ML is that this enlightened few in your vanguard as you put it "professional revolutionaries and Marxists" sometimes choose to cling to power, think Stalin, how after Lenin died he purged the party and made a sort of oligarchy. After that point the Soviet Union became a degenerative worker's state, the workers themselves had little to no power, doesn't sound too terribly socialist to me. I don't like totalitarianism. But I do like the patriotism and the opposition to imperialism. you have some good ideas, but we definitely have our differences, but I think finding common ground between leftists is good, so thanks for engaging with me. :)

• 
  DDD Thought
  (////): Pretty good overall, I like the mixing of cybersocialism with market socialism that plays into my economics as well, so we are similar in that regard. :)

• Proto-Socialist Third Way (///): I definitely prefer current Socialist Third Way, bur the ideology isn't terrible just too capitalistic and hawkish.

• 16384ism(////): You're the average conservative so we don't really see eye to eye, also fighting secularism is pretty cringe.

•  TIIKKETMASTER thought
  (/////): I like that your progressive and an environmentalist, but I'm not a fan of free market capitalism, slight gender conservatism, and sociopathy. I'm also not sure what "Right-Green Syndicalism" entails, but I'd be interested to find out. Also, don't hit on people on this wiki It's not a dating app, it's politics, and it's just a bit creepy.

• Julianism (////) - Pretty good, a bit too libertarian and radical, but otherwise great. I'm not opposed to world federalism I'm just weary of it because if not done right it runs the risk of turning into a form of neo-imperialism and I believe the most practical foreign policy right now is alter globalism and when that is established then I'll be more comfortable with moving to a form of world confederalism/federalism.

• Ego-Libertarian Marxism (////) - Pretty cool honestly, I'm not a fan of egoism, but we agree on quite a lot even though you are more radical than me I wouldn't mind considering you a comrade. I also admire that you aren't just a senseless revolutionary, as you put it "I'm not against the idea of small reforms, such as preventing reactionaries from getting in power or achieving better welfare. For I am not an Accelerationist, it would harm human conditions further then it already is to accelerate capitalism. However, reform will never achieve socialism as long as capitalism exist." And I actually mostly agree with this statement. :)

• Artelordism (////) - Pretty good, your quite agreeable just embrace Workplace democracy and you'll be awesome. Also, you seem quite nice. :)

• 
  Heredism
  (////) - Great ideology, my only real grievance is that your far more accelerationist than me, witch honestly is not that bad, also you formed Artel which is amazing so thank you for that comrade. :D

• Brazilian Liberalism (///) - You give me major Amercian New Democrats vibes which is cringe, but your social policies are good and the rest of it is pretty cringe.

• Comrade Ivanoff Thought (///): Honestly, you're a pretty good ML, I love me cooperatives and your advocacy for worker self-management, your culture stances are good too, my problems are that you are a bit too planned and authoritarian but overall good, comrade. :)
