I want us to either transition to an Inclusive Democracy (with elements of Anarcho Fourth FauxLibetariaCom [which is an Anarchism version of a fusion of the Fourth Political Theory with ‘Libertarian Communism’]) by using a ), Left Libertarian/Libertarian Socialist: (Anarcho Libertarian, [Market-oriented left libertarian-Left Wing Free market Anarchist], Mutualist,Agorist) path to it
OR
I want us to transition to an Anarcho Collective Liberal society by first using some combination of Marxism Leninism , Leninism, Luxemburgism, with help from Anarcho Syndicalists , to establish a Mythological Socialism (with elements of Free Market Libertarianism based on a model of proprietary communitarianism and meme Stalinism) society which would then accelerate us into our Anarcho Collective Liberal society
Left Libertarian/Libertarian Socialist: (Anarcho Libertarian, [anarchist-anarchistic socialist,Market-oriented left libertarian-Left Wing Free market Anarchist], Mutualist,Agorist) transitional path to an Inclusive Democracy
To get to this eventual libertarian-egalitarian anarchist society (Inclusive Democracy), we would need to have revolutionary ultra zealousness using a brand of subsidies and anarchy (as seen below in each paragraph in this socioeconomic section) .
In this Left Wing Free market Anarchist], Mutualist transition to our libertarian-egalitarian anarchist society (Inclusive Democracy) , there will be a strict application of natural rights, self-ownership, and totally unregulated Austrian economics in a stateless society in order to "eat the rich"
Left Wing Free market Anarchist, Mutualist would retain the classical liberal ideas of self ownership and free markets.There would be a Gary Chartier type of property system, this type of property system and Benjamin Tucker’s type of property systems in this society
Left Wing Free market Anarchist, Mutualist, markets in this transition, taken to their logical conclusions would yield anti capitalist, anti corporatist, anti hierarchical and pro-labor society (i.e libertarian-egalitarian anarchist society (Inclusive Democracy). This is because in a truly laissez faire free market, the ability to extract a profit from labor and capital would be negligible.
In this Left Wing Free market Anarchist, Mutualist, transition, to avoid private appropriation and accumulation and free competition causing unequal wealth distribution, the state would be stopped from transferring wealth to the wealthy (which they do by subsidizing organizational centralization in the form of transportation and communication subsidies) by focusing on organizational issues, decentralized manufacturing and the informal and household economies
Black markets and counter economics would be one of the methods used to help threaten the state authority and state capitalist class This is because Capitalism is an exploitative system based on privilege backed by the State
There would be alternate institutions built , piece by piece replacing the statist, capitalist, society. This would be a gradualist approach to dismantling and replacing the state with new forms of social organization.
Somewhere in this transition stage, all 6 monopolies would need to be abolished to go along with this Left Wing Free market Anarchist, Mutualist transition , as outlined here. These monopolies include the Agribusiness monopoly, the infrastructure monopoly, the utility monopoly, the security monopoly, regulatory protectionism, and the healthcare monopoly
Using the existing market, producer and consumer cooperatives, small enterprises, mutual aid institutions, do-it-yourself collectives, community gardens, credit unions, etc would be initiated. These wouldn’t tend to directly conflict with Capitalist institutions. The state would also be influenced through pressure groups and lobbying. The main effort would be the creation of alternate institutions. At some point these would become strong enough to challenge the state.
During this Left Wing Free market Anarchist, Mutualist transition , the Capitalist and Statist privileges would be removed from the free markets. There would eventually be voluntary cooperation and exchange. These freed markets would have no corporations or a social hierarchy. The lower class would thus be liberated and all exploitative hierarchies would thus be abolished to create this freed market .These will thus be freed markets (eventually liberating the lower class).
You can have free markets without Capitalism because Capitalism originally never referred to a free market but to a statist class in which capitalists controlled the state with the state intervening on their behalf
The entrepreneur would be the driver of this new freed market instead of the Capitalist and state benefited Capitalist (typically one in the same) .
These elements below also maybe might be part of this Left Wing Free market Anarchist, Mutualist stage but if they don’t mesh with the above system, they would serve as an alternative transition method to get to our libertarian-egalitarian anarchist society (Inclusive Democracy) .
They are based specifically on Benjamin Tucker’s version of Mutualism which Left Wing Free market Anarchism and Carson-Long Mutualism is based on. We can use the label anarchist-anarchistic socialism to describe Benjamin Tucker’s version of Mutualism interchangeably as to distinguish them from the Kevin Carson-Roderick Long variety above but they basically the same thing and same methods
As per this, monopolies (like the patent monopoly, land monopoly etc) would need to be abolished
In this anarchist-anarchistic socialism and maybe Left Wing Free market Anarchist, Mutualist transition, wealth would initially be distributed equally (freed markets naturally equalize wealth). People would be paid in proportion to how much work they do and that exploitation or usury was taking place if they weren’t working.
Employers would still be able to own companies or workplaces in several different areas as long as the employer pays their employees the full value of their labor.
In this anarchist-anarchistic socialism and maybe Left Wing Free market Anarchist, Mutualist transition people would get paid in proportion to how much labor they did and that exploitation or usury would take place if they were not doing that labor
The state adjacent or state would serve as a safeguard for the ownership and as the coordinator of production through a universal economic plan.
In this libertarian-egalitarian anarchist society (Inclusive Democracy) we should reject Nationalism and through force abolish all hierarchy (thus superiority and inferiority will not exist) creating a centralized system where virtually all are the same in power, wealth, and status. An Inclusive Democracy is a democracy that id responsible for the the needs of the people
This would be a society where differences would be accepted and affirmed without any bigoted sentiments or consideration. Bigotry would not be acceptable in this libertarian-egalitarian anarchist (inclusive) society.
I want equal distribution of economic power and we would get that in this Inclusive Democracy.
In an Inclusive Democracy all macro economic decisions, like, decisions on running the whole economy would be made by the citizen body , collectively and without representation. At the same time, the micro economic decisions at work or at home would be made by the individual production or consumption unit via a proposed system of vouchers.
In this Inclusive Democracy there would be an artificial market that uses personal vouchers (an outgrowth of labor vouchers and personal credit used in the Left Wing Laissez faire path to this Inclusive Democracy), which would ensure freedom of choice but would also avoid the adverse effects of real markets. It would be a form of ‘money’ based on the labor theory of value (labor theory of value was part of the Left Libertarian/Left Wing free (freed) Market Anarchist/Left Wing Laissez faire path to this Inclusive Democracy)
This would be an eventual economic democracy that is the authority of the community in the economic sphere
In the Inclusive Democracy I support, the economic democracy today would only viable at the level of the confederated demoi. This involves the ownership and control of the means of production by the demos.
This would be radically different from the capitalist and 'socialist' growth economy. This would be different from various types of collectivist capitalism, like workers' control and the milder versions which are suggested by post-Keynesian social democrats. Therefore, the demos, becomes the authentic unit of economic life.
To get to this ideal system, demotic self reliance, demotic ownership of the means of production, and confederal allocation of resources are prerequisites to achieve this
Demotic self reliance means radical decentralization and collective self sufficiency, in the sense of relying on the resources of other demos' instead of via autarky.
Demotic ownership of productive resources leads to the politicization of the economy (the real synthesis of economy and polity). This is like this because economic decision making is carried out by the entire community in a human centered way, via demotic assemblies, where the people make the fundamental macro economic decisions which affect the whole community (as citizens, instead of as vocationally oriented groups like workers). They basically create jobs by writing rules
Workers, apart from their participatory work in the demotic decisions regarding the overall planning targets, would also participate in this (in the above broad sense of groups who are vocationally oriented) in their respective workplace assemblies. This process would be of modifying and implementing the Democratic Plan and also in running their own workplace.
The resource allocation of Confederal is a must because, although self reliance does allow many decisions to be made at the community level, there is a lot to be decided at the regional, national and supra-national level.
However, the delegates (other than than representatives) are the ones with specific the mandates (including mandating a defense for marginalized individuals against any loss of social standing they might get by using motivating reflection [looking back to move forward], global rehabilitation, sacredness, progressive religion, and every postmodern thing we reject and need to rework) from the demotic assemblies whom are involved in a confederal demotic planning process that, in conjunction with the proposed system of vouchers, would effect the resource allocation in a confederal inclusive democracy.
A model of economic democracy, would be an important cog of an inclusive democracy.
The main characteristic of this proposed model, which also differentiates this from the socialist planning models, is that it explicitly presupposes a stateless, moneyless and market less economy which have precluded private wealth accumulation and privilege institutionalisation for some sections of society, while not relying on a ‘mythical’ post scarcity state of abundance, or sacrificing our freedom of choice. Basically it would be socialism that is free of its materialist, atheistic and postmodernist features
The proposed system will do the following: meet the real needs of all citizens, which requires basic macro economic decisions must be made democratically, securing freedom of choice, this requires that the individual make important decisions affecting their own life (like what work to do, what to consume etc.)
This would meet our needs of democratic planning, as it would involve a process with feedback between workplace, demotic and confederal assemblies.
Inclusive Democracy would meet basic needs as it recognizes fundamental human rights that should be guaranteed to all who are in a physical condition to offer a minimal amount of work (satisfaction according to need) as opposed to having health care or public parks be free for all (consumption need model) and people being able to make particular need requests that are based on consumption, addressed case by case by others in the economy
Remuneration according to the ‘need’ of each person' would only be applied in exceptional cases of basic needs and not to all of the needs that are defined as needs by the citizens' assemblies (as the Inclusive Democracy project declares). This would go beyond economic justice, and would be applied through norm four in appropriate situations such as in cases of illness, catastrophe, incapacity etc
In this Inclusive Democracy, the equal distribution of power in institutions (like workplaces, households, educational institutions, economic institutions, cultural institutions etc) and self management would be secured by creating people assemblies to be involved in each workplace or education place (i.e workers', student and teachers' assemblies respectively) that, within the framework of citizens' demotic decisions that are taken by assemblies in regards to the general aims of production, education and culture respectively , make all vital decisions about the functioning aspects of these places.
These assemblies would be federated at the regional and confederal levels in order for the confederal assemblies of workers, teachers, students etc can get involved with a constant interaction process with the citizens' confederal assemblies to define the general interest of society
There would be a removal of the divide between the household and the public realm. Maybe the oikos and its values can be a substitute for the polis and its politics
This may involve via Anarchism ,dissolving the public into the private or we can go the other way, and at least try to remove the public/private divide by dissolving all of our private space into a singular public, a socialized or fraternal state sphere but in a Leninist New Economics way which allows some privatization
Another idea would be to recognize that the household belongs to the private realm, but to 'democratise' the household in the sense that its relationships should take on democratic characteristics and that the household should take a form which is consistent with the freedom of all its members.
However the bigger issue is sustaining and enhancing the autonomy of the public snd private realms, such institutional arrangements should generally be adopted to introduce democracy at the household level and the social realm level (i.e in the workplace, educational establishment and so on) while at the same time enhancing the institutional arrangements of political and economic democracy
So I feel that effective democracy is only doable if free time is distributed equally among all citizens, and that requires ending the present hierarchical relations within the household, the workplace and other places.
Moreover, social realm democracy (like in the household), should and would in this system require institutional arrangements that recognize the household’s character as a need satisfier and thus integrate the care and services that the household provides into the general scheme of needs satisfaction
To begin this transition to an eventual Anarcho Collective Liberal society, we would need the type of rage that was done by Left Wing Democratic Revolution protestors in Chile in the late 2010s to enforce revolution and to solidify the creation of a vanguard party.
This vanguard party would also be partly composed of Anarchist type organizations and collectives or affinity groups (like Black Army, CNT-FAI etc), that include Anarcho syndicalists who would use these methods in addition to traditional vanguard party methods.
This revolution would lead to a Dictatorship of the Proletariat that would either have Democratic worker councils and unions or would have a People’s Democracy (a multi-class and multi-party democracy) the latter of which would also include low class, petite bourgeoisie and progressive bourgeoisie within it.
Though there might be a real Dictatorship of the Proletariat, but if it is used it would be strong, hold society together, and root out perps and similar forms of counter revolutionaries using Stasi methods
This coalition would have include diverse forces from a huge part of the political spectrum (unite both sides and the world’s traditional religions in a common struggle/strategy against the common enemy via a concrete instance) . It would basically be a pact of cooperation people may differ between each other, but they are always present
The Democratic worker councils and unions would have legal protections and resist and fight against divisive counter revolutionaries that are influenced by the global liberal elite.
Eventually the state would control the means of production, promote collectivism, and pave the way for a Mythological Socialist society and then Anarcho Collective Liberal society
So now we would be in our Mythological Socialist society (with elements of Free Market Libertarianism based on a model of proprietary communitarianism).
Under this Mythological Socialist society (with elements of Free Market Libertarianism based on a model of proprietary communitarianism) , people themselves would be united . Donated hair would be exported.
There would be a more identifying National Id created for citizens. There would be less excessive high technology (between moderate Neo Luddism and Anti Consumerism) since high technology is capitalistic
There would be voluntary rent in this system that would be made payable to single private corporations that would provide for all public services out of that revenue. Thus, this single private landlord would own all the land and housing in a single given geographical area, similar to a city-state from medieval Greece
There would be mutualist obligations between landlords and tenants on the land
These emerging communities would be competing with central governments etc. In addition, they would be responsible for protecting their tenants from both criminality and statist ‘taxation’
There would be such voluntarist possibilities in this system in the development of multi tenant properties like hotels, holiday camps, business parks, apartments ,malls etc (assuming they could be made to function like templates for entrepreneurial opportunity, individual autonomy , quality of community life, eventual spiritual realization etc).
Basically this and this. (Heathen Anarchism)
In situations where people didn’t want to use the above Heathen Anarchist system of Mythological Socialist society (with elements of Free Market Libertarianism based on a model of proprietary communitarianism) there would be voluntary Collectivized personal property system for them (housing , ride shares) which is basically or essentially the EXACT type of Communal system that the wandering Jews in the (Old Testament/Torah) lived in during their 40 years in the desert with G-d. There would also be elements to this in this system
Hopefully this would lead the point where this Mythological Socialist society (with elements of Free Market Libertarianism based on a model of proprietary communitarianism) collapses after living in this Mythological Socialist society (with elements of Free Market Libertarianism based on a model of proprietary communitarianism) society for long enough and then R/Acc would then kick in and take us to Anarcho Collective Liberalism
In this Anarcho Collective Liberalism society, the state (and by extension equal distrubutation of wealth) would be abolished/dismantled (and there would be effectively no real taxes implemented ;the most anti tax fringe of the Tea Party idealized low taxes would be the only ones really implemented, this is because taxes are like theft and stock of present goods of the individuals affected and makes investment less rewarding) There would be a reserve government adjacent that would be used only to step in ever so slightly to make sure society functions
In this Anarcho Collective Liberalism society, there would be a capitalist socialization of production, but only in a way that would be distorted. It would rely on cooperation, but ignore that the means of production are private. The means of production belongs to corporations.
This would place an emphasis on cooperative long term relationships, that would result in an economy that would be directed by "relational markets".
This would include interlocking share ownership, where companies would own shares in other companies; which would result in a spirit of cooperation between the involved companies, due to each of them having an interest in the other's performance. This would result in stable ownership, which would lessen the potential for hostile takeovers and also "friendly" competition; companies would be encouraged to excel but for others’ benefit as well as themselves
These things would be market based and privatized: Security and national defense, education, healthcare, banking and currency (a GONGO established by the reserve government adjacent would uses make make sure the privatized control the money is fair) and somewhat some or most roads than we have in the US now
Law enforcement would be publicly-privately owned (in a modern China type way), but the people would have the option to give law enforcement charity and treat it as if it's really private)
Workers would traditionally expect more from their employers than they do now in western countries, including job security (often for life) , pensions and social protection. This system would be like peoplism
The use of force, when not employed in self-defense, would be unjustified
Coercion in this set up would be as any initiation force, or threat thereof, over the property of another individual (which includes their body).
There would be a natural right to own oneself and the appropriate natural resources that one employs before anyone else (i.e one's private property). It’s impossible to establish universal ethical norms if one is to deny this fact,
In this system, any form of theft is illegitimate (though, depending on the case, some may argue not necessarily immoral) and in the same vein any regulation on individuals' behavior or control over their property which doesn't result from a contractually-binding, voluntary relationship would be illegitimate
Since in this system, majority rule wouldn’t be seen as a legitimate form of electing representatives (since voluntary contracts must be unanimous) since there is no legitimate contract that binds the government and citizens together, let alone one that everyone has signed
The Commons Dividend fused with an UBI model (the system used in Alaska being the ‘closest’ approximation of this) would be used as social safety nets along with a quasi private charity workfarist method. Quasi private charities would be set up to help struggling Americans. These charities would rely on private donations from Americans to help other Americans (Americans would be heavily motivated to do so) but in a workfarist sort of way. It would provide food, shelter and utilities for people in times of need (like winter, or hot summers).
There are predictable winners and losers in society and that being sorted into the those two categories isn’t really a matter of luck or skill.
But this is not due to market exchange but a reflection of state committed, threatened and tolerated aggression. As long as the state apparatus exists, it is there for the taking by the wealthy allowing them to further enrich and empower themselves and the politically powerful to acquire more wealth and power. So opposing these ruling classes is to oppose the state and thus takes on a double meaning
We need to radically change the role of the state in countries where the Washington Consensus once was prevalent including in the US. This is why I support the nationalization of various industries like the mining, gas, and oil industries.
Sometimes over regulation that is literally like a well oiled machine might have some benefits or at worst some salvageable fringe ideas
I am against corporate privilege. To end corporate privilege we must eliminate bailouts, subsides, cartelizing regulations along with similar state driven legal, political and fiscal features that enable corporate power
I hate monopolies (i.e Big Tech, Nike, Walmart etc)
Antis
I am generally , pretty much Anti Capitalist . We need to reject and rebel against Capitalism because Capitalism is patriarchal and liberal white supremacist (especially National Capitalism for the latter).
In general Capitalism is based off of human greed while my combined fiscal views in this blog are based off of need. We need to destroy the Capitalist state. To quote Rosa L “Capitalism, as a result of its own inner contradictions, moves toward a point when it will be unbalanced, when it will simply become impossible
At minimum, as long as Capitalism exists in its current form it should be beholden to various types of rules, regulations, laws, affirmative action, and taxes — at various levels within this system, along with special fees and registrations that meshes with my views in this blog.
I need to be more lenient of the idea of creating anti capitalist propaganda and slogans to inspire the proletariat, be more open to embracing views that call for ‘neutering’ private property (like prohibiting the private initiative in a Broad Front paternalistic way , see Inclusive Democracy below), and anti individualistic collectivism (Inclusive Democracy methods below)
I am against types of Third Way Social Democracy (or what I call ‘ Succdem’) that tries to be toxically socialistic since that goes against the whole point of Third Way economics (which is to reform Capitalism better than regular Social Democracy does)
How can Third Way make Capitalism less bad when it is basically being socialist in all but a name (which effectively makes it Anti Capitalist since Socialism is Anti Capitalist)? That type of Third Way Social Democracy should just drop the Third Way Social Democracy label and become Socialist.
I need to be more lenient of the idea that make being chauvinist for crony Capitalism, most forms of Keynesian Capitalism , Social Liberal Capitalism, most forms of non Anarcho Left Wing Capitalism etc or some anti Communism ideologies should be a thoughtcrime (since that would be an attack on the proselytes which make up the bulk of the workforce)
I disapprove of the job that Joe Biden has done with the economy as President. Joe Biden has made the economy worse as President
Socioeconomic
I am ok with greater governmental investment in poverty reduction along with an increased role of state intervention in the economy in ways that mesh with my views in this blog
I am concerned for and fight for the vulnerable
I recognize that vulnerable people can’t be left to fend for themselves and that shared responsibility for meeting their needs is morally and practically essential.
However, I feel that mutual aid arrangements should be used to deal with economic vulnerability as that has been a successful approach in the past
Such arrangements would be more successful without taxation (people can and will spend their own money on poverty relief, but they’re likely to do so much more efficiently and intelligently than state officials deploying tax revenues), poverty-producing state regulations, and limitations on choice in areas like medical care.
I am all for undermining structural poverty. Poverty is not created or perpetuated by the freed market. It is created and perpetuated by large scaled theft and privileges and constraints. This includes punitive licensing requirements, intellectual property rules (which is extremely petty), land use controls, building codes etc .These things stop or hamper people from applying their skills and assets effectively. We must stop those things to stop structural poverty
I support Nationalized (state) Healthcare being implemented in the US like they have in the UK (until we abolish the government) but it would be ideal if people had to earn it Starship Troopers style i.e by doing something for the community or through mutual aide (but certainly not a deal breaker as long as the nationalized healthcare is innovative)
I support and take on Five Star Movement’s views of welfare (including welfare expansion of public social/socialist style services/entitlement programs even if we have to break barriers by expending three quarters of the budget) which excludes education, environmental protection meant policies in favor of preserving/conserving the environment (which meshes with my left libertarian views).
I support expansion of welfare benefits for education and environmental naturally, which will happen via an Inclusive Democracy that I outlined in this blog. Until that happens, I support a fusion of Bull Moose progressive social insurance (with this part of this welfare fusion being removed only if it means abolishing government Capitalism), Mutual aide and a TANF emergency funds co op (which would be different than the current TANF emergency funds model) for welfare benefits for education and the environment
In our current static capitalistic society, I am ok with free schooling only if it can be done without any government involvement and where students have to have a job like selling lemonade at a lemonade stand , selling cookies door to door or similar light ‘kids jobs’ a few hours a week to make up for their free education.
Regardless, I don’t think I would be willing much taxes if any at all to fund free schooling unless I got some compensation for doing so. I am against compulsory schooling OR if it could be provided by the state free but where parents had to warn it for their children Starship Troopers style i.e by doing something for the community
In our current static capitalistic society, I am ok with Universal Basic Income either if it has privatized elements to it like Oakland California’s Universal Basic Income AND the UBI recipients are required to give mutual aide (or has some mutual aide element to it). Otherwise I do not support Universal Basic Income. Even if UBI met my conditions above to be ok with it, I would not pay more than 75 dollars a month to fund UBI (could be more if I got financially lucky or less if I became poorer)
I conditionally and syncreticly support certain aspects of green economics . But I am against the Green New Deal because the Green New Deal would cause immediate harm to millions of workers and their family members (which would cause their standard of living go unanswered)
I support reducing weekly working hours by c 4 hours
I support simple and fair taxes
I do not support 30 dollar an hour or more minimum wage , or really even 25 dollars an hour or more minimum wage (at least not until we are in a non capitalist economy)
I am against the federal government giving money to cities and states for Halloween events, Halloween merchandise, Valentine’s Day events and Valentine’s Day merchandise. That is evil communism and I won’t let those states and cities use that money for Halloween or Valentines Day .I won’t even allow those states and cities to get that money from the federal government for those purposes. Ronald Reagan and Freddie Hayek would fully agree with me on this
I want all money that states and cities have allocated for Halloween and Valentines Day to be reallocated to non holiday related things.
The ineffectiveness of hierarchies make them less common aspects of worklife, and increase the odds that people would be able to choose better alternatives offering more freedom and dignity (self employment or work partnerships or work co ops), in the absence of privileges that lowered the costs of maintaining said hierarchies and raised the costs of opting out of them (like by making self employment more costly, and thus more risky). State action also redirects wealth to those interested in seeing that they and the people like them rule the workplace; and the state’s union regulations limit the ways unions can challenge workplace hierarchies.
I support individual rights . I feel that individuals are entitled to freedom so they can unique in their own way
I am against subordination and I support using force against physical, economical and psychological threats (within reason). Once we get rid of subordination, all our issues as a society will be fixed
I believe that Anarchists should be morally upright and relatively strong. I especially like retro Anarcho Libertarianism
I am against deprivation. Ignoring deprivation is morally objectionable. Is is fine NOT to identify any particular solution for deprivation as morally required or permitted since that’s a separate question. It is fine to defend a wide range of responses to said deprivation consistent with justice/prudence (as long as those responses are effective)
I am ok with intuitive class struggle and class analysis
Queer
Personally, I am live and let live on same sex marriage.
Deep down inside, I am between apathetic on same sex marriage being legal and seventh political position lean Christian Democratic on same sex marriage being legal
Legality wise, I support same sex marriage being legal because I am an Anarcho Libertarian (and free love is a current within Anarcho Libertarianism)
I support the Queer Anarchism movement . Many Queer Anarchists self identify on social media and build their movement that way which a good way to get people to support their movement
I also love the "Be gay, do crime" slogan. That slogan is anti neoliberal and anti authoritarian and it implies that gays doing criminal and incivil acts may be necassary to obtain equal rights for gays everywhere (since being gay is still criminalized in many places around the world and because Stonewall also a riot and fought for the same thing)
I examined whether or not the governmental recognition of marriage (i.e marriage for straight couples and same sex couples) is a good idea or bad idea. I realized that the government recognizing marriages (i.e marriage for straight couples and same sex couples) is a bad idea.
The government wrongly being involved in the marriage industry since forever, lead to the government unfortunately doing what they always do: taxing it, regulating it, defining it etc. The government’s involvement in marriage is more proof the government does little right. I do believe that all Americans of all sexual orientations have a right of contract
Personally, I prefer if all marriages were abolished for both straight couples and same sex couples since I believe that marriage is a forced social construct
Legality wise, I want the US to abolish Civil Marriages, Common Law Marriages and Religious Marriages and make Unorganised Marriage the only legal form of marriage for straight couples and same sex couples etc (Unorganised as in Unorganised Sector in India unorganised). Which is basically more privatized than privatized. The less officialness of marriage the better off we are.
I am mixed to against gay conversion therapy being banned since I am Libertarian. If we had a direct democracy I’d be all for banning it
I am against Heterophobia. There is nothing wrong or oppressing about being Heterosexual
I h8 homophobia
Gay people pose extremely very very insignificant issues for people who are anti gay not that anti gay peoples’ opinions matter since their opinions are based on discrimination
I am against Lesbian Erasure. It's wrong for people to try to get Lesbians to transition to males, gender non conforming or to become fluid. That is wrong, hypocritical and against the values of our society. I want Lesbians to get more visibility within the LGBTQ movement, and be treated as equal to Homosexuals. There is nothing wrong with women being Lesbians.
I am apolitical on Straight Pride. They are so insignificant , I refuse to acknowledge them. I recognize that some good-faith (big tent) opinions on this issue are different.
I am very much not a supporter of kids in preschool through c 5th grade learning these offensiveable type of things. https://thefederalist.com/2019/04/05/parent-objections-public-school-teaches-6-year-olds-transgender-ravens-gender-fluidity/.
If parents don’t want their kids to learn LGBTQ things they should homeschool them or have them go to a private school.
I feel teaching kids, especially in the earlier grades things I did not learn in school is problematic since so many students nowadays have issues academically, we need to go back to teaching about basic things that I learned in school to combat that way all students will do better. While teaching about LGBTQ might have a place somewhere in our schools in some way and place, learning such things in school still does nothing to increase reading , writing , math or relevant timeless skills for post school life
I am against repartitions to gays for anti gay discrimination
I am copying this from Marxists.org because I fully agree with it so I want to echo it , I want want the things below to become a reality in our society ASAP:
“The struggle against sexual discrimination is linked to the struggle against class society in general for several reasons. The first is that only the abolition of class society can create the material economic basis and cultural drive sufficient to dismantle the model of the monogamous family as the only basic unit of society. By socially carrying out all the tasks that are today assigned to the sphere of the family, and mostly to women (cooking, cleaning, raising children), and by allowing the free development of individuals with access to the best material and cultural resources society can provide, it will be possible to facilitate a process by which interpersonal and family bonds are gradually freed from material necessity and correspond solely to romantic and sexual desires, thereby dissolving the oppressive norms and discriminations that exist at present. Moreover, these changes to the nuclear family would strengthen personal bonds, as pointed out here
The second reason is that the vast majority of LGBT people are workers, youth, temporary workers, unemployed, who experience a double oppression in regard to both their class, in the workplace and living (or surviving) conditions, and their identity or sexual orientation. Joining the struggles against these two forms of oppression is therefore the most natural thing, especially when we consider that the enemy is the same. Moreover, it should not be forgotten that homophobic prejudices are also fostered to divide workers – for example, to make heterosexual workers believe that, while they may be oppressed, they are still superior to the gay person (how satisfying!), in the same way that racist prejudices are nurtured. The role played by the right wing in this process is self-evident.
Whoever says that the two fronts of struggle must be separated is playing into the enemy's hands. And often, in the LGBT movement, those people promoting this stance are wealthy individuals who do not experience the material problems faced by LGBT workers and youth.
Marxism defends the unity of peoples across all gender and sexual lines in the fight against the oppressive capitalist system. But Queer Theory holds that our gender and sexual identities are a fiction produced by discourses and oppressive power in society: a learned performance. What does this idea mean for the liberation struggle? Is Queer Theory compatible with Marxism? In this talk, recorded at this year's International Marxist University, Yola Kipcak from Der Funke (Austrian section of the IMT) tackles these issues and explains the position of Marxists towards Queer Theory and the struggle against oppression
I support the Queer Theory
https://www.marxist.com/marxism-vs-queer-theory.htm .If we make the US and rest of the world like this, we will no longer need overkill identity politics and our world will totally be free and equal. This will liberate sexists, homophobes, transphobes, etc from their hate and bigotry
This will help people not end up like this former liberal on these issues
This why I also support Xenofeminism since it is a way to acheive this
Xenofeminism uses tech to abolish gender, dislodging gender from ‘power’ and allows feminists to use the master’s tools to rebuild life. This also has an-anti naturalist element to it
I am against Universal Basic Income and similar gov assistance being targeted just to low income Transgender people instead of every low income person of all identities
I support transgender marriage
I ONLY support identify politics (except as noted above) for transgender people only and only until we abolish our Cissexist system by which time there won’t be a need for identity politics for them
I am Alt Left on Transgender rights in our current unjust Cissexist system . I want us to abolish our Cissexist system so Transgender people can have true equality
I believe that there is a biological difference between males and females.
It is NOT transphobic for non transgender people to not want to date transgender people. People have a right to be picky and obsessive over who they marry. Some people want to marry people who can naturally have kids with them
I do not support (which does not necessarily mean I’m against…) kids under 14 being transgender but I made my peace with it. We need to abolish our government so I can be able to accept kids under 14 being transgender
There is NOTHING wrong or transphobic about a woman saying they are proud to be a woman. I fully support Adele's 2022 Brit Awards speech. Her speech was 100 percent positive and great.
I am against Drag Queen story time for children and Drag queens being around children. Drag queens stereotype and objectify women and through that, unintentionally teach children to do so which makes it harder to destroy the patriarchy so we have to stop this.
I don’t care for hate crime laws. There are so many now, that it seems anyone who attacks someone is doing a hate crime. Too many hate crime laws delude the seriousness of true hate crimes
I am strongly empathetic lean lukewarm provisional support for Gender Accelerationism to reach the post hierarchy goals mentioned in this blog
Wmn
There is nothing wrong with someone being happy they or their loved ones weren’t aborted
I support thousands of abortion crises centers being opened throughout the US
My mom had toxemia when she was pregnant with me so that causes me to not be as pro choice as people want
If biological men could have babies , I’d have the same abortion views for them as I do for biological women
Most human zygotes are destined to be spontaneously aborted anyway so I am ok with aborting those human zygotes . This is why I am generally personally and legality wise pro choice for first trimester abortion
Personally and legality wise, I am conditionally Pro choice for early term abortion
Personally, I am abstain to mixed on second trimester abortion
Legality wise, I oscillate between being Christian Democratic and third political position (with the view abortion should rare safe and legal for second trimester abortion) for second trimester abortion
Personally, I am barely pro life on middle term abortion
Legality wise, I am Pro choice for life on middle term abortion. This means while I am pro choice for middle term abortion, I always root, pray and wish for the woman to keep the child during middle term pregnancy except if it is conceived via rape or incest . Moreover I try to devise ideas to literally change the logical laws of nature so that with these new logical laws of nature people can make the woman decide for herself to keep the child during each middle term pregnancy without influencing her to do so in any way shape or form (to influence someone to do something without influencing them to do something is a contradiction within our logical laws of nature but it is not a contradiction if I find ways to literally change the logical laws of nature to allow contradictions)
Personally and legality wise, I am pro life on late term abortion and third trimester abortion
Personally and legality wise,I am solidly lean pro choice/pro choice in all but a name on late term abortion and third trimester abortion for rape and incest
Personally and legality wise, I am against partial birth abortion even if the baby is conceived via incest (as for rape for partial birth abortion, I plead the fifth).
I support the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act
I want the artificial womb created ASAP so women who want an abortion can instead have their unborn fetus transfered to an Artificial womb when that becomes viable in the future. That way, the unborn baby can still be born, but from a different (artificial) womb. This way the woman who doesn't want her child can transfer that unborn fetus to an artificial womb so the child still gets to be born (even if the child was conceived via rape or incest). If that happened, I would be personally and legality wise anti abortion for all 3 trimesters
I support the Hyde Amendment since I am a Libertarian
I support parental consent laws for terns under 16
I support parental notification laws
I believe that it should be illegal for employers to require their workers to be pro choice
I am against Justin Trudeau going after pro life charities and pro life groups. Trudeau is a fascist dictator for doing that and proves he is a hypocrite on abortion since he doesn't trust women to make their own decision.
I support birth control being legal individual but I recognize that some good-faith (big tent) opinions on this issue are different.
The best way to fight against Texas’s pro life laws is via lawsuits and to then force them to have abortion laws like Norway (which is a realistic and practical goal) which I want ONLY for them ,then we can fight for Texas to gradually be as pro choice as Rhode Island from that spot #patience #persistence
I support stem cell research for the same reasons that Michael J Fox supports it
I am against Population control Population control is wrong, disgusting and evil. It is an assault on reproductive rights. The government has NO RIGHT to have any say in a persons sex life. Population control is a human rights violation (people have a right to procreate) This article https://ohrh.law.ox.ac.uk/the-two-child-policy-an-assault-on-human-rights/ echoes my thoughts on population control. I also support the ANTI Population control messages on buses in Canada in 2021.
I am against legalizing sex work because of the commodification of sex work. Decriminalizing sex work is the worst of both worlds; sex work is counter revolutionary. I also am against sex work because sex work is inherently exploitative and there is no way to fix that and slightly for traditional reasons .
Fem
I am an Anarcha Feminist and supporter of Postfeminism (with Third Wave Individual feminism). We need to destroy the sexist bourgeoisie.
If feminism doesn't overcome Neoliberalism and Capitalism and break down the patriarchal system, it is incomplete and futile. We need to change the model of our system for people of all sexes/genders instead of having institutional parity for women. That is much better than parity and liberal feminism which gives women a false sense of equality and cause feminists to get complacent. If we do not change the model of accumulation, generation of wealth, how we distribute wealth, the value of work and abolish the patriarchal system, we will not have justice and true equality for women. Women's liberation is about ending exploitation, not diversifying the oppressor class.
I am against Transgenderism erasing women/females. Cisgender Women/females should always be called women/females and categorized as women/females and NOT be called or categorized as birthers. This is compatible with postfeminism, Anarcha Feminism and the Queer Theory
I would like to see the 19th century alliance between 19th century alliance between libertarian feminism and radical liberalism be recovered. This article reflects my thoughts on this and I echo that article
Margaret Thatcher said it best “If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask a woman.
Women should always get paid equally to men. I support income equality
I echo Sheryl Sandberg “We need women at all levels, including the top, to change the dynamic, reshape the conversation, to make sure women's voices are heard and heeded, not overlooked and ignored”
I do not agree with things in the Wikipedia article about Gender Bias on Wikipedia. No one is stopping women from becoming Wikipedia editors and writing articles about women or other subjects. Wikipediocracy proves this. It is just as easy for women to jump in and become regular Wikipedia editors as it is for men to do so and saying otherwise is an insult to women users
I was a Wikipedia user and part of Women in Red, Gender Gap Task Force for over a year where I helped improve female coverage in articles and helped all users out when they asked me to help them
I always jump to defend women online unselfishly when I can
I support voluntary remote work so women can be on maternity leave longer
I am against pick up lines and cat calls used on women. Pick up lines and cat calls are evil, sexist and they dehumanize women. We must fight against pick up lines and cat calls
There is nothing wrong with a husband or wife kissing their spouse or child on the head while they are sleeping.
Women can be hateful toward men. I don't care if its with or without 'societal backing' or 'power', anti male hatred is wrong just like Misgony and Sexism are wrong.
Nu males are better than betas
I am somewhat fine with the Nu Male sphere
Masculinity is a poor response to what some guys wrongly call “extreme feminism” . It should be tolerated only in its least offensive and non bigoted forms
Toxic Masculinity is dumb, toxic masculine guys need to hook up with hot women to cure their toxic masculinity
I am against chauvinism in all forms, including Male Chauvinism. The less Male Chauvinism the BETTER for everyone of all classes
I always hope and pray that Male chauvinists become women in this life or their next life so they can stop being bigots
I am fine with Promise Keepers
I believe husbands should be committed to building strong marriages and families through love, protection, and biblical values
I am against domestic violence and I will always come to the rescue of women to help protect them from domestic violence
Taboo
Regulating Prostitution creates or intensifies sex work risks
I am against pedophilia
I am Big Tent on pornography. I recognize that some good-faith (big tent) opinions on this issue.
I am against public sex and public orgies
Migration
In part because it looks like we can’t stop the spread of cultural corporatist imperialism (i.e Globalization) , my solution to our migration issues is this:
Maybe the borders of all countries should probably be razed together creating an open world. Freedom of movement is a right as history has shown and this would fundamentally fix the bigger issue surrounding migration once and for all (no border world/open world is better than open borders in a few or some countries)
This is partly because since I am against North Korea and the Soviet blog forbidding emigration, I have no choice but to be against countries forbidding immigration, even illegal immigration so I don’t look like a hypocrite
The refusing refugee thing can be bad since refusing refugees can be bad for the refugees, as is seen here
One way to make the open planet thing work would be to have our planet literally become one country (which would also create an open planet by default) and all 7.5 billion people on Earth could even be incentivized to move to a far away random place on Earth (basically every town and city on Earth would be reshuffled to consist entirely of transplants from dozens to hundreds of random countries on Earth with possibly a very few people native to the area living in said towns/cities)
All cities and towns on Earth would be rebooted and have the very similar demographics as each other city and town on Earth as is the case in existing countries. Think of this as a real life city town randomizer
This could mean the Earth would be literally gentrified (ending cultural shock forever) as the whole planet would be culturally and demographically similar (as most states and provinces in existing countries are culturally and demographically similar to other states and provinces in those existing countries.
This is the most unique way to unite Earth and all people on Earth, to be united as the people of Earth in the movie Independence Day were united.
Like in some Speculative Fiction set in The Future, it might be the natural order of things that all governments will merge together to create a central authority to govern the entire planet.
Some examples of this concept include All the Troubles of the World, Apocalypse film series, Barbarella, Bicentennial Man, The Fifth Element, The Starship Troopers, Space Truckers, The Omega Code, Z.P.G, Babylon 5, Doctor Who: In "Last of the Time Lords", Firefly, the Alliance, Intergalactic, The Orville, The Outer Limits (1995), seaQuest DSV, Star Trek. See this for more
In real life, the United Nations was a possible choice for fulfilling this one planet country to function before the organization was created in the role that it serves today
In fiction, alien planets most of the time have only one government.
Since I support degrowth, maybe Open Localism can be fused with above systrm
Open localism is an alternative set of social relations and economic organization. It expands upon the ideas of localism and is based on values like diversity, knowledge ecologies and openness. Open localism would not create an enclosed community but it would rather circulate production locally in an open and integrative manner
Open localism is a direct challenge to the acts of closure that occur in terms of identitarian politics. By producing and consuming as much as possible locally, community members enhance their relationships to one another and the surrounding environment.
Basically in the above one planet system, there would be commons (like Lanayru commons in BOTW) with some differences. There would be a local, common and coop production similar to typical commons. However, open localism doesn’t impose rules or regulations that create boundaries ,it goes for more of a cosmopolitan approach
That way we wouldn’t need immigration reform, Amnesty, flying in illegals in the middle of the night etc since the whole world would be open borders . Then eventually I would want the one planet government to be abolished (since I am anti statist ,and anti hierarchy) so our whole planet can be free of government hierarchy and the state.
If new countries arise from this post government world (even with reborn governments), with strong borders or border policies that are as tough on migrants as Australia’s tough migrant policies, I would be more than fine with that. The whole planet would be a globally gentrified/biculturalized melting/smelting pot by that point so there would be no xenophobic or bigoted element with those tough migrant policies in that situation as there is now in our world and any governments that can arise in an Anarchist stateless world deserves to rule since that would be quite a feat
In our existing world, I believe that migrants to the US should learn English
I support a soft repeal of the Schengen Agreement if there are terror attacks in Europe with maybe a common sense bipartisan update to the Dublin regulation in said scenerio
I don’t think the governments of Europe should sea taxis to bring migrants to Europe since I am a Libertarian and less government involved in things the better. I am not against migrants coming to Europe I am just against the governments funding those sea taxis
I am against illegal immigrants getting free health care
I am against the US using emergency border funding
My other views on migration are Alt Left
I support Jeremy Corbyn’s Brexit
E-R
We need to destroy our systems of hierarchies and create a new system with a significant structural change in the perceived power dynamics that to a lot of people ‘dominate’ American society , promote assimilation ,defeat Neoliberalism and Capitalism, not go right on migration and destroy the white ethnocentric system we have (but in a NON woke and NON state liberal way) and eventually the lines between all identities including ethnicity-race will be blurred so that there will be no ‘dominant ‘ ethnicity or race, no need for overkill identity politics, no need for quota like Affirmative Action (or probably any Affirmative Action), where BIPOC ethnic-racial interest groups evolve into BIPOC affinity groups etc
Basically a super world where whiteness would be over and those words wouldn’t have the meanings and perceived ‘power’ dynamics attached to them that to a lot of people they have now. A true post racist society. This will emancipate bigots from their bigotry and prevent people from ending up like this former liberal on these issues
Equality trumps Equity because equity for BIPOC is a hollow victory that is nothing but a bandaid and an insult to BIPOC.
If blacks feel anti blackness has insinuated itself in every corner of the American way of life, then wouldn’t they rather blow the whole system up as mentioned above and create a new system that gives everyone a reboot and without overkill identity politics, quota like systems that is truly color blind etc instead of parity and equity in our existing system which to a lot of them is anti black? Isn’t better to remove all hierarchies, classes and white ethnocentrism (in a non woke way) than to diversify the oppressor class?
I am fine with Affirmative Action until what I write above happens causing us to no longer need Affirmative Action
I am against quota like Affirmative Action to an extent but I downplay this particular issue
I am Big Tent on wokeness. I recognize that some good-faith (big tent) opinions on this issue..
I have never and I will never apologize for being white. It is fine to be any race or ethnicity equally.
I am racially and ethnicially color blind, I don't see race or ethnicity.
I am fine with BLM protesting what they see as injustice and oppression, I support any person or group's right to protest (including BLM). People have a right to protest (as long as its peaceful).
I support BLM protesting against pandemic related mandates and I am glad they protested them. I am sensitive to BLM’s concerns that mandates might be systematically/institutionally racist (or have an element of something just short of that or that while isn’t systematically/institutionally racist, could appear that way). I am fine with BLM’s take on this issue as I love diversity of opinions
I feel that BLM should focus way more on protesting against Globalization, Globalism, Transnational postmodernism, our corrupt banking industries, along with fighting more for pro Palestinian rights etc
BIPOC+ (including BLM) protesting is a positive in that it shows that protesting is still an effective way to influence the government and corporations to do their bidding.
I really like take MLK Jr and his views on race ethnicity .One such quote by MLK Jr which is critical of divisivness "God is interested in the freedom of the whole human race, the creation of a society where every man will respect the dignity and worth of personality", more here
I might (a big might) be open hearted to blacks or BIPOC as a whole in the US etc becoming the dominant elite in our society. It would be good for blacks or BIPOC as a whole, it would seriously decrease racism and it would be good because inclusive and diverse power is more creative snd more sustaining than our current literal vanilla crypto fascist , bourgeois aristocratic system
I support Interracial marriage
I don’t care if the CRT is taught in schools but I don’t sign off on that happening either.
To some people, it is too extreme, is not rationally inquiring and goes for narrative, uses stories mostly fictional anecdotal etc which goes against reasoned argumentation and may reinforce stereotypes about BIPOC. But I won’t stop it from being taught (not that I can if I wanted to) since I am Libertarian and against censorship
Parents have a right to peacefully complain about the CRT at school board meetings. But if parents don't at least try to get on school boards to stop the CRT from being taught from within, they have no one to blame but themselves.
Parents who harass, argue or go after teachers at school board meetings are NOT domestic terrorists or terrorists. Labeling them as such further polarizes our country
I strongly disagree with Jessica Pieklo https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10999817/Journalist-ridiculed-saying-whites-relatives-mustnt-challenging-racist-views.html. She is soulless for her anti family Tweets. When it comes to me and my family I will follow the Lord and reject Pieklo’s toxic wokeness
I support people in a new age compassionate way, calling in and possibly empathetically deradicalizing in a tough love way white racists who are racist against BIPOC (but if they can’t do so civilly clashing with each other). Basically in a Left Christian version of ANTIFA sort of way
I am against anti white resentment/anti white racism (ymmv). It would take far left woke people literally reprogramming/brainwashing me Patti Hurst style for me to be cool with anti white resentment/anti white racism (ymmv).
Children disabled
I support children’s liberation
We need to emphasize the degree that the state is not the protector of children but that it is responsible for threats to their freedom including via compulsory schooling and anti child labor laws. This also explains why I support homeschooling
I only support the type of child 'labor' (ie home enterprise labor for children) that is in this link https://www.flickr.com/photos/56434318@N05/6620143751 (as long as its voluntary) for children around 6 and up and only if the children get paid as much as adults with higher incentives than adults in similar jobs
I am against paternalistic state action against children which interferes with their freedom
I also don’t like how children are treated as property by their parents which is due to arbitrary ageist rules
We need to emphasize the degree that the state is not the protector of children but that it is responsible for threats to their freedom including via compulsory schooling and anti child labor laws. This also explains why I support homeschooling
My views on private schooling aligns with Broad Front Chile’s views on private schooling
Crime
I am ok with Alvin Bragg not prosecuting low level offenses. But he should be consistent with not prosecuting low level offenses and the media should make it clear toeveryone that he isn’t going to prosecute low level offenses
Women (including transgender women), should not go to prison unless they commit a violent crime.
I support tougher penalties against female on male domestic violence, attacks on the elderly people along with tougher but more common sense child abuse laws
I am against pro choice protestors making death threats against and harassing Supreme court justices over their Roe v Wade ruling. Those protestors should be prosecuted under the fullest extent of the law. If it was pro life protestors doing that to pro choice judges, the MSM and neoliberals would be in a uproar
I am against those fringe pro choice protestors harassing churches and pro life centers over Roe v Wade. Those fringe pro choice protestors should be prosecuted under the fullest extent of the law
“What presents itself to us as bourgeois legality is nothing but the violence of the ruling class, a violence raised to an obligatory norm from the outset” Rosa L
I support the Justice Safety Valve Act of 2013
We should challenge all violence including violence by police . But their violence and corruption are not not simply a reflection of poor oversight or the presence in police agencies of “a few bad apples”
It is instead a reflection of the structural positions of such agencies as guarantors of state power and of the lack of accountability created both by the existence of substantial de facto differences in standards for the use of force by police officers and others and by the monopolistic status of police agencies.
My views on the criminal system match Ciudadanos’s views on the criminal system
I am more than tolerant on the view that people who are arrested for stealing are not political victims but common criminals
I am open minded to the view that people being raised in single parent homes instead of two parent homes is an issue that needs to be discussed until we tear down the patriarchy
I believe if Americans had the same type of parenting they had around the mid 20th century our country would be better than it is now (but not ideal since it is only ideal once we tear down the patriarchy). Parents should always know where their children are and what they are doing. It should be harder for young people to hooky from school nowadays. Until we destroy the heiarchal unit, we have adhere to traditional family structure in ways that I want
Religious people, Progressives etc should do a better job helping their communities. We can’t rely on police to do it
Down and out people shouldn't blame society for their ills but blame themselves for their problems
A lot of criminals are poor or have low paying jobs because they didn’t want to go to college to get an education so we have make education more accessible to people (see the fiscal section of this blog for more)
People shouldn’t be apathetic to criminals or counterproductive aspirations, they should try to concern themselves or help said criminals . This is the spirit of helping
Drugs
These views generally echo my views on drug decriminalization/legalization for rec use
I am against *all prohibitionist campaigns of all sorts and I respect people’s control over their bodies and justly acquired possessions . I feel that aggression-based limits on *all disfavored but voluntary exchanges should be disallowed.
*Though Fentanyl and other hard drugs that are worse than Heroin should always be illegal.
I don’t want people smelling like Marijuana or having Marijuana on their clothes . I don’t want any child under 18 anywhere near Marijuana and I strongly prefer that IDEALLY that Marijuana is as restricted in public ad cigarettes are currently restricted in public . I am not a cheerleader for Marijuana legalized
Drug traffickers should get at least 7 years in prison for drug trafficking
My advice to all people on drugs for rec use : Just Say No. I am against people doing all hard drugs for rec use. I am non hostile to halfway tolerant of people doing Marijuana for rec use as long as they are not addicted to it and if they are they should get treatment help asap
I am proudly drug free.
I am between neutral and apolitical on mandatory minimum sentencing for hard drug users in a world where hard drugs are still illegal
Guns
I am ok with the bipartisan gun control law congress will vote on
I would get a C++ grade from the modern NRA and a AQ grade by the 2010 NRA
I am somewhere between syncretic and fifth political position on background checks for gun buyers, banning certain military like guns and teachers protecting their classrooms with a gun
I am Big Tent on banning assault weapons. I recognize that some good-faith (big tent) opinions on this issue.
I am personally against guns, I'd prefer people use bows, yumis and crossbows instead of guns but I respect the 2nd Amendment
I have no issues with anti gun celebrities being hypocrites on guns (like Alyssa Milano or Michael Moore). If I was them , I’d be a “hypocrite” too .I sort of like Alberta Canada’s gun laws
A lot of people are afraid of guns but if an intruder broke into their home or they were being attacked theu would wish they had a gun to defend themselves
IP
I am a white knight, I combat my less than stellar self esteem with an unwavering need to aid others even if they don’t need it (i.e marginalized people, see the rest of my blog to get a glimpse of my white knightliness)
I believe in the integration between social groups where differences are valued in an environment of solidarity, respect, protection. Every race-ethnicity, nation, people, and human on Earth are equal to each other and have their own unique strengths and weaknesses, and possesses the sovereign right to live wherever they want. There is good and bad in all persons on Earth
I support solidarity and liberation which will lead to a classless society without hierarchy. This is a natural progression. If we need to use Social Patriotism to reach that point of getting to that classless society without a heirarchy, I guess we' need Social Patriotism to do so as a necessary evil. Classes and hierarchies are the main cause of our ills so they must be destroyed. This will liberate bigots from their bigotry and suppress any possible future bigotry
All of the bigoted isms (sexism, racism, heterosexism, nativism, National Chauvinism etc) are clearly repugnant as history has taught us. We have to recognize the state’s role in creating, perpetuating and exploiting these unfair mechanisms while we need to eliminate these state props for prejudices which can make society more free and less unjust toward marginalized people
It is ok that some relationships (like close acquaintances and monogamous relationships) are exclusionary to other people. There is no bright line rule regarding permissible and impermissible exclusion. Ideally (though not a deal breaker), when particular intimate sub communities justifiably exclude someone—for the simple reason that they would cease to be the kinds of communities they are if they weren’t strictly (lime limited in size), there is clearly room for the excluded person in the broader community of which they are components. Ideally they would be welcomed/included there
When justifiable exclusion occurs, it should ideally not reflect false beliefs about or unreasonable reactions to some group of which the excluded person belongs.
For example, perhaps A acts reasonably in deciding not to marry B because of vital differences in the ways in which B and A understand the nature of marriage, differences that might come to light from B’s membership in a certain group with a traditional view of marital relationships in a specific way.
But this is different from A’s deciding not to marry B either because of the fact that certain visible members of B’s group hold marital views even if (1) A does not know that B has those views or (2) B credibly denies having those views or (b) A holds to a prejudice against members of B’s group, like believing that cohabitation with a member of this group would make someone like A unclean.
From my position, I generally oppose exclusion. I make reasonable exceptions only/roughly when they don’t involve exclusion from large and relatively impersonal communities and relationships and only when they are not rooted in false beliefs or unreasonable reactions.
By saying that exclusion is morally objectionable that does not determine what counts as an appropriate solution for morally unjustifiable exclusion. It isn’t helpful or needed to justify exclusion as reasonable or morally appropriate, to be against to the use of physical force to counter exclusion. Though I believe in some rarer cases using physical force to combat exclusion is justifiable if done the right way with an eye for forcing said hierarchal systems to be destroyed quickly
My general views on Identity politics https://www.cpusa.org/article/the-curious-rise-of-white-left-nationalism/
I support Civic Nationalism for all American citizens
I support Post Nationalism
I am Anti Totalitarian
I am an Egalitarian and I support Egalitarian liberalism
I am very very unsupportive of Fascism, it is fun to bash the fash (and their naughtzie allies). We really should destroy the fascist bourgeoisie (fascists are spooks). :-J Titoism was a great way to deal with Fascists J-:
I support specific European Autonomous-Antifa patriotic groups
I am patriotic in my own unique way (Grand ole flag and Yankee Doodle Dandy; I loved those songs in kindergarten)
I am ok with New Western Transnationalism (New Western Transnationalism is to Western Transnationalism is what Theodore Roosevelt’s New Nationalism was to Nationalism)
I am ok with Liberal Nationalism
Socialism is better than Nationalism. I support Nationalism being replaced by certain forms of Socialism
Etc
I am against cancel culture (i believe cancel culturers should get a taste of their own medicine)
The IDW generally echo my views on SJW and PC (but in a way that Anthony Scaramuchi would tell them to convey their thoughts toward those things)
I am against censorship
It would be much easier for me to accept Big Tech censorship of ‘far right’ people, groups and views if Big Tech with their unlimited power and money took meaningful action against said extremists proactively and aggressively instead of doing so last minute in a knee jerk way and having to be called to do so by anti far right advocates
I don’t pity or feel sorry at all for right wing victims of censorship since right wingers are hypocrites when it comes to censorship. If and when they fight against censorship of left wingers like they do for right wingers then we’ll talk and I’ll change my tune on this. Right Wing SJWs should use trolling to get back at those who cancel their Right Wing allies and to get their point across instead of relying on anti censorship people to come to their rescue and Big Tech platforms to give a voice to their views which attract censorship like honey attracts bees respectively
We need to use trolling and democraticguilt methods that I would approve of to get people into dismantling the racist (by MLK Jr’s definition), social fascist-capitalist, liberal homophobic-liberal transphobic, patriarchies etc
I believe in using those methods (including edgy, inquisitive, with us or against us ways thrown into the mix) to also prevent anti police abuse and disrespect and to build on our traditions (in a multipolar way where we appreciate local and particular, tried and tested, family and community while seeking to to aid the most vulnerable in society while moving beyond the market) to usher in a post traditional society where the ‘next wave’ of new traditions form , while pretending to be nice about the methods we use to achieve this
I am a SJW for gun rights and to rail against some aspects of anti americanism and fiscal views that are anametheic to my fiscal views.
I am a Left wing version of a Fishhook theory Right Wing adjacent SJW on combating rock music that has rap or lyrics I don’t like (I hated in the 1990s due to Alt Rock), certain aspects of video games (mainstreaming of video games, non family friendly, easy or woke video games etc), ISIS and Al Qaeda not being treated as terrorists, the rarer extreme sects of Islam being anti LGBTQ and non woman friendly, the paganism of China, the troublesome aspects of Pokemon and similar things
We need to use zealous calling in to deal with right wingers we find problematic
I advocate via old school SJW methods, dismantling the racist white cis heteronormative male patriarchy to lead to my idea of a diverse world
I am fine with Right Wingers having safe spaces to admit their right wing views without judgement since it is therapeutic. I am also fine with safe spaces for anti safe space people to use. I am anti safe space myself
There is NOTHING offensive about the 1964 Rudolph Red Nosed Reindeer movie
There is NOTHING offensive or wrong about using these phrases and I want people to use these phrases MORE than they do now just to piss off the extreme fringe left nut speech police: “Don’t cry over spilled milk”, “packed like sardines”, “on a wild goose chase”, “ants in your pants”, “walking on egg shells”, “kill two birds with one stone”, “let the cat out of the bag”, “take the bull by the horns”, “be a guinea pig”, “hold your horses”, “open a can of worms”, “bring home the bacon”, “beat a dead horse”, “put all your eggs in one basket”, “bullpen”
There is nothing offensive about Beverly Hills Cop III
There is NOTHING offensive about the term 'black ice'
THERE IS NOTHING OFFENSIVE ABOUT BUGS BUNNY EATING CARROTS
There is nothing offensive about Dune (2021)
There is NOTHING offensive about the Skin Swapping in FEF (3ds)
There is NOTHING offensive about Horton Hears a Who
There is nothing offensive about the game Ice Climbers
There is NOTHING offensive about the way people are portrayed on Disney's Jungle Cruise ride pre 2020s
There is NOTHING offensive about the puking scene in Kingpin where Woody Harrelson's character pukes after having sex with an old lady
There is NOTHING offensive about the Maude tv series
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG with children sitting on the laps of Mall Santas
There is NOTHING offensive about the Miss Chiquita mascot mentioned in this article https://www.businessinsider.in/advertising/15-racist-brand-mascots-and-logos-that-make-the-redskins-look-progressive/slidelist/36842401.cms#slideid=36842425
THERE IS NOTHING offensive about the Prince kissing Sleeping Beauty while she is sleeping to wake her up. That is not date rape. It is totally inoffensive
There is NOTHING offensive about the scene in Splash where Daryl Hanna's nipple is shown
There is NOTHING offensive about Super Mario Odyssey
There is nothing offensive about the Golden State Warriors nickname
I want Edy’s Pie to be renamed Intuit Pie
I want the Edmonton Elks to be renamed the Canadiens
I want the Chicago White Sox to be renamed the Disco Demolishers
I want Oklahoma to get an NFL team and have that team be called the Oklahoma Plains or Oklahoma City Rivers
Voting
I would seriously consider being open hearted to bringing back the Articles of the Confederation
I refuse to give my opinion of Donald Trump’ Presidency, because I don’t believe Donald Trump was elected President in the first place (due to Russian interference in the election by Alex Nalvahny, Vladimir Putin etc) thus in my eyes rendering Trump’s ‘Presidency’ invalid.
Since Trump was never officially President due to that cheating, everything he did as ‘President’ is invalid and never happened (sort of like the NCAA retroactively ruling college athletes full who were found to illegally recruited to be ineligible ,rendering all their stats in those retroactively ineligible seasons moot and thus preventing any future analysis of those players retractive ineligible seasons moot since its like they never played during those seasons)
The Democrats and Joe Biden did not steal the 2020 Presidential election from Donald Trump… since as I wrote above, I don’t consider Donald Trump’s junta as valid so since in my eyes, Trump was never President, he couldn’t have had the election stolen from him(since he was never President in the first place)
But I hate everything Donald Trump has done since early 2021 andI think he should find a new line of work and stay out of politics
We have to become a direct and participatory democracy so the electorate decides on policy initiatives without elected representatives as proxies and which citizens participate individually and directly in political decisions and policies that affect their lives. This will make the need or desire to protest almost non existent as people will cause most of their political needs and wants implemented through direct and participatory democracy
I support repealing sore loser laws
Acts
To quote Betrand Russell on freedom of speech “ The fundamental argument for freedom of opinion is the doubtfulness of all our belief... when the State intervenes to ensure the indoctrination of some doctrine, it does so because there is no conclusive evidence in favour of that doctrine .. It is clear that thought is not free if the profession of certain opinions make it impossible to make a living” and "'Free thought' means thinking freely ... to be worthy of the name freethinker he must be free of two things: the force of tradition and the tyranny of his own passions.”
I am glad that I am part Anarchist. I support my Anarchist allies from all diverse backgrounds
No philosophy or ideology is the final arbiter of truth
I believe that force alone makes something just which is why I am glad when I see ultra liberal changes made through force as opposed through hollow, tone deaf ‘state liberal democratic’ methods like petitions, saviorism, boycotts, peaceful protests and similar vanilla methods. If something is truly just it is worth forcing it into our paradigm. If people want change FORCE it, that is bada@ss and more tasteful to me. Be the change you seek
I support the common good
I support social justice
I support grass-roots empowerment and e-democracy, and direct democracy. The more hands on Americans are with politics, the more this can be realized “ I believe that the government/state should stay out of enforcing moral changes in most to nearly all situations. Moral evolution can happen many times apart of the government/state and relations between people can emerge with freedom from the government/state. Most relationships in life should not be characterized as conflict as the left and right might have it. It's good to have mutual and humane respect for others as individuals. It's also good to do positive and unselfish things without having to grapple with the political ramifications of doing those positive things. ”
We need a new radical development model where the value of work is central to that model which coexists in harmony with the environment
Politicians need to have a presence in social organizations and be among the people
I support protecting civil liberties. The state is a foe to our civil liberties and the best way to safeguard our civil liberties is to protect each other’s control over our bodies and justly acquired possessions
The problem with modern Democrats, Liberals and Progressives is they cannot be relied on to defeat Neoliberalism and Capitalism due to their interests more aligning with those systems than with other systems
Our government, media etc seeks to divide us and pit us against each other to distract us from their uniparty corruption , power and self interests. We need to unite in a Big Tent and bring government back to the people. I support real direct democracy
I champion diversity and protecting people’s inalienable right to pursue their version of the American dream without questions or interference
To quote William Mckinley “our differences are policies our agreements are principals”
We need to revive the authentic liberalism from the 19th century with younger and more modern traits and liberal cultural values that make more sense in these contemp

Paul Sperry should not have been suspended from Twitter for his Tweets in August 2022. Suspending Sperry for those tweets is political suppression, censorship, fascist, and goes against his freedom of speech. Sperry did not tweet anything wrong or ban able. Twitter now bans anyone who speaks out against its narrative. We have to stop these social media fascists. #freedomofspeech

Groupthink is one of the worst parts of the human psyche and we should guard against it , whether it is in politics, business, holidays etc. From David French "With a striking empirical regularity, deliberation tends to move groups, and the individuals who compose them, toward a more extreme point in the direction indicated by their own predeliberation judgments. In plain English, this means that when like-minded people gather, their views get more extreme. Our arguments reinforce one another to such an extent that the entire group will sometimes become more extreme than the most extreme person at the start of the deliberation"
I fully agree with Vaush https://archive.ph/Ygbzk
I am against revisionism
Facts don’t matter when there is justice to be had
party position/roles
I am not overtly anarchistic, but anarchism would be the formal category within which my Anarchism works. This is because I am committed to direct democracy, municipalism like I write in this blog and the eventual abolition of state, and by extension money and market economy
I do not endorse the Democrats
I am anti establishment and I feel our unfair society needs some insurrection
The Republicans of the 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s were a GREAT political party and I am fine with that incarnation of them. In particular the Rockefeller Republicans and Richard Nixon, who actually had some Progressive traits. https://www.wsj.com/articles/richard-nixon-progressive-president-epa-title-ix-detente-cancer-desegregation-11636671414
People on both sides have a common tendency to exaggerate the viewpoints of their ideological opponents. They usually see on average, twice as much difference as actually exists.
There are also imagined extremism. This comes in a via conflicts over abortion rights, the interpretation of a racial-ethnic incident, the attitudes of certain social viewpoints etc
In disputes on politics, everyone seriously overestimates the polarization between both sides. This is due to demonization by each side toward the other
Mark Twain said it best "Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect"
'If You Are Not a Liberal When You Are Young, You. Have No Heart, and If You Are Not a Conservative. When Old, You Have No Brain
I don’t really believe in moral relativism
I support respect for human rights and tolerance
Every policy and major government initiative in the US were NOT and are NOT for the purposes of maintaining White supremacy (at least since the early 1970s). Anyone who says otherwise is a deluded anti white conspiracy theorist nut who hates the US
Bad apples
I egalitarianally support equality of authority, since I feel there is no natural right to rule, that non-consensual authority is presumptively illegitimate and state authority is non-consensual.
I believe that the commitment to the type of moral equality which underlies belief in equality of authority should also entail the rejection of subordination and exclusion on the basis of nationality, gender, race, sexual orientation, workplace status, or other irrelevant characteristics.
While I feel that people’s decisions to avoid associating with others because of such characteristics should not be interfered with aggressively, I also feel that such decisions can often still be subjected to moral critique and should be opposed using non-aggressive means. More on non aggressive resistance here
I support social, peaceful, voluntary cooperation. While I feel that force might justly be used only in response to aggression, peaceful and voluntary cooperation is a moral ideal with implications that go beyond simple non-aggression. I feel that associations of all kinds should be structured in ways that affirm the freedom, dignity, and individuality of all participants. This should and would allow participants the option not only of exit but also of voice—of influencing the associations’ trajectories and exercising as much individual discretion within them as possible.
I believe in a fair society, but we can't get it through neo/liberal democracy. Neo/liberal democracy is built against us
So called liberals and progressives are sick, twisted trolls for swatting conservative commentators. If this was the other way around there would be public outcry over it . We need to taje these attempted murderers and thrown in prison for a very long time https://www.drewberquist.com/2022/04/stew-peters-home-gets-swatted-as-part-of-a-dangerous-hostage-prank/

Neocons and the modern GOP need a ‘free milkshakes’ to knock some sense into them. But the better thing to do would be to unperson Neocons and the modern GOP and erase them from history.
I am anti corruption since corruption has caused depressions, recessions, and negative global events for centuries
I echo this article https://reason.com/2022/02/08/joe-rogan-and-the-weird-new-definition-of-right-winger/
https://nypost.com/2022/05/22/the-left-targets-people-like-elon-musk-for-not-conforming/ Establishment Democrats and liberals hate anyone who strays from their center left, centrist political plantation. Sam Harris ,Tulsi Gabbard, Joe Rogan, Bret Weinstein are NOT right wing. Over 70 percent of Americans , Australians, Europeans and Canadians are further to the right of Sam Harris, Tulsi Gabbard, Joe Rogan and Bret Weinstein. Maybe instead of those bad apple Democrats demonizing their fellow Democrats who don’t pass their purity tests, they should instead go after the Center left extremists in their own party for pushing people further right. I echo what Tim Dillion said on this matter
The newsspeak words labeled “uninformed opinions" or "misinformation" are terms used by so called progressives, liberals and leftists nowadays when someone has a different opinion then they have. It is the same way they call any BIPOC/lgbtq person with moderate or conservativish views a "grifter". They just cant deal with the fact that people/people on their side think differently.
I am against Donald Trump using federal force on protestors in Portland in 2020 , especially for libertarian reasons
Animals
I support animal welfare in a Humane Watch , Theodore Roosevelt sort of way
Humans are obviously superior to animals (which is saying a lot since animals are aofreaking awesome in their own right). I am superior to every animal on Earth but I don’t hate or even dislike any animals on Earth. I am unapologetically a speciesist. HUMANS are the BEST species on Earth
Humans built cities, countries, empires, inventions like Nuclear bombs, space probes, electricity, internet, TV, radio ,computers, AI, satellites etc.What the fuck have animals built? The vast majority of REAL scientists say humans are superior to animals.
God (or higher power) gave us humans dominion over animals. We should never harm animals in any way shape or form or kill animals (except in self defense).
Hunting is a necessary evil (why can’t we wait til after animals die naturally to get them as food?) until we can replace animal meat with synthetic non animal meat. Since I am Libertarian I against my will ,do not want hunting banned and I hope in heaven, animals who are killed via hunting can forgive me
We should value our own species and our species interests way over animals. It is natural to put someones own species interests over another species interests, to do otherwise when humans lives are worth more value than animals lives is lunacy. Deep down we all are speciests and that is a good natural thing.
I would save 1 human over dozens of cows, fish, deer, horses, and other animals. Those whacky far left lunatics never say animals are speciest, you know why? they are anti human and anti God.
We shouldn’t care if animals die naturally in the wild, and should not try to interfere with nature to stop animals being killed by other animals to do that would be to stop the circle of life (except if climate change or overbuilding caused such potential harm ,then I abstain on intervention to help animals in those rarer cases) . I would NEVER for example try to stop a hawk capturing and killing a marmot
We shouldn’t give animals equal rights to humans or even any rights at all. Just update and improve animal welfare laws to protect animals from unnecessary suffering
Gorillas/Great Apes and dolphins should get even more protection from unnecessary suffering than most animals but even they shouldn’t haven’t have equal rights to humans and you can at least somewhat make the case that arguably they shouldn’t really get any rights at all. Humans are also superior to gorillas/great apes and dolphins too. But to give credit where credit is due, dolphins have better communication skills and both dolphins and gorilla/great apes can have iqs near 100.
I am not offended by the AAT programs being held to ethical standards of behavior to those granted to human children and others who are unable to provide formal consent, in order to avoid exploitation of the animals involved in the program. Though I believe the animals in the AAT programs should not be treated the same as humans (but they should not be abused or hurt)
People who murder animals should get only get somewhat more than a quarter to a third of time in federal prison that people get for murdering humans (possibly longer conditionally but not too much) and then long parole and then finally post prison/post parole bail. I am against domestic violence laws for a use against pets, just have those pets maul the **** out of their abusive owners and that is your added punishment for domestic abuse
Those fringe nuts who are pretend humans are equal to animals are too wrapped up in academia, sjwism, and fringe theories and they are are destroying any credibility left of the animal rights movement .Humans are way smarter, cognitive and better than animals and should be treated as such but animals should not be harmed due to that. Because humans are superior to animals they need us like babies and toddlers need their parents. Those fringe loons actually wrongly compare mentally handicap human children to animals and that is disabilist
This article also echoes my viewpoints. https://humanewatch.org/speciesism-the-movie-as-dumb-as-it-sounds/
I do pray that all animals after they die, get to live at least one life as a human (or as an intelligent life extraterrestrial of a species I feel is equal to humans on Earth) on Earth or another planet after they die and before they go to the afterlife so they can finally be equal to humans on Earth (i.e so if and when each animal dies they will be reincarnated as a human or intelligent life extraterrestrial of a species I feel is equal to humans at least once before going to heaven and when they do they will be equal to all humans on Earth)
I support horse racing being legal
I am against Zoophilia and it should stay illegal forever. Science has proven that Zoophilia causes disease and death.
I am Big Tent on animals in circuses. I recognize that some good-faith (big tent) opinions on this issue.
I fully support the existence of Wildlife Conservations
There is nothing wrong with riding on Elephants or Camels as long as the person is light and the Elephant or Camel is in top shape and not on them for very long.
I support humane bull fighting and the Calgary Stampede using live animals.
I am against Critical Animal Studies and I want Critical Animal Studies to be blacklisted and censored from society
I am ok with certain types of fishing but I am not crazy about fishing
I am against people hitting pets to discipline them (and even if they do so lightly). People should never hit their pet under any circumstance unless it is in self defense.
I am against goose egg addling and I feel that should be illegal

I am generally anti war
I am an Anti Imperialist
I am a non interventionalist

Women in our military should use YPJ military training methods (and our female military forces should be modeled after YPJ) to get our military stronger as a whole by being able to improve as soldiers.
I was and I still am against the Patriot Act

IP
I am between lenient of to being an apologist of Liberal (but not Left) Kahanism fused with a fusion of apolitical philosemetism, United for Israel regressive Zionism and militantly moderate Non Zionism
I have no issues with Amos Oz or Max Blumenthal demonizing Israel and Israelis nor do I lose sleep over BLM being anti zionist or anti Israel. I feel they have legit concerns that should be addressed in ways that de escalate the I-P conflict as long as they are more pro Israel than the BDS (or at least give off that appearance of being more pro Israel than the BDS)
I believe Israel’s overzealous actions toward the Palestinians can leave their actions towards the Palestinians being called a genocide. They have to treat the Palestinians with humanity and dignity and stop their abuse
I support the Jewish Voice for Labour and I between tolerate and accept their past assessments on the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn.
Diaspora zionism when done right is a good thing (see the UK’s Jewish community for proof) but when done too much (never happened before that I know of, so hypothetical but still..) it could be an issue, albeit small one, and any mainstream political scientist would echo this point
It is a challenge for politicians to find compassionate to empathetic common ground with the Jews on Diaspora zionism without those politicians stepping over the line. We need more bridges and less barriers between our politicians snd the Jewish community to make both sides happy
I would have opposed H. Res. 951 (if I was following politics back then) like Ron Paul opposed it. I also echo everything that Paul said in his statement in this article . I retroactively oppose H.Res 951 because I am Libertarian and non inerventionalist. https://web.archive.org/web/20080309160013/http://pressmediawire.com/article.cfm?articleID=18214
I do not advocate for a particular solution to the I-P conflict and I do not call for either a “one state solution” or a “two state solution”. Instead, I focus on the realization of basic rights and the implementation of international law.
I am fine with Israel settling in the West Bank out of spite because of the BDS’s SJW boycott and cancel culture methods and for the BDS hitting too close to home with their methods
I support the Palestinians and I angry they have been dehumanized and demonized for defending themselves and their people from bullies like the IDF . Palestinians are not terrorists ,they are generally no worse than Israel and they should get more support in the US. But Hamas using Palestinians as shields and their actions which backfire on all Palestinians is also wrong
I support Palestinian Nationalism https://web.archive.org/web/20150421035518/https://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/20/opinion/david-brooks-the-nationalist-solution.html
China-Russia
I am against China executing people ,especially for white collar crimes
My views on China generally match most Australians views on China
It would be ideal for workers in China to have fuller/more control their places of employment. This should be done through cooperative-diplomatic management of their industries in China. The goal would be to increase productivity by treating workers in China with dignity. As long as those workers can guarantee this (or them being more reliable than Capitalism is 'reliable), then I would be open to support this. Basically self management (via individualism and anti authoritianism)
I believe the Kibbutz is a model for all workers and employers in China in how work should be in an ideal world (voluntary, satisfaction of work, community, concern competition for prestige and praise from other community members instead of bosses and other corporate big whigs etc). Maybe we should start moving China in that direction so more jobs throughout the world are like the Kibbutz
I support Anarcho Workerism and Autonomism in China.
I am against the Uyghur genocide. China is wrong for that. My other views on the Uyghur genocide match Enes Kanter’s Marxist-Leninist alternate reality clones’ views on the Uyghur genocide
I want Hong Kong to be to China, what Taiwan currently is to China combined with being to China what Hezbollah is to Iran
I believe the Taiwanese people should vote whether they want to be part of China
I believe that in 2021 or in January 2022, Ukraine and NATO SHOULD have prophetically warned Russia about how foolish it would be to invade Ukraine, how bad it would be for Russia to do so and how war is hell, like how William Sherman prophetically warned Professor David Boyd about how foolish secession would be , how bad it would be for the South to do so and how war is hell (war really is hell) (Sherman Fighting Prophet page 138)
Some of my views on Russia match the Five Star Movement’s views on the conflict
This echos my view on Russia’s intervention in Ukraine
I want a peaceful end to the Russia-Ukraine crisis
I am a fan of Boris and Natasha from Rocky and Bullwinkle
I want NATO to be abolished
North Ossetia belongs to Russia
I am against the US sending fighter jets to Ukraine in their conflict with Russia
I want the People's Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk to be part of Poland but at the same time I want the People's Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk residents to have the same relationship with Russia that is between what American ex pats have with the US and a homesickness form of pan transnationalism (with Russia)
However I can settle for the People’s Republic of Donetsk and Lugansk being an Autonomous Republic of Ukraine instead of going back to being an oblast of Ukraine (like Crimea is or was to Ukraine).
I am against a No Fly Zone with Russia
I have no issues with Ukraine joining the EU as long as it is not mostly because of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine
Some Russians have been unfairly fired due to their place of origin by fascist Russophobes. Their firings are a violation of Employement Acts ,since they were singled out due to their place of origin. These Russians being unfairly fired is akin to McCarthysim or what the US did to Japanese Americans right after Pearl Harbor. Freedom of speech means telling people what they don't want to hear. We must end extreme cancel culture and modern day McCarthyism
Islam
Islam is no better or worse than any other religion. It has good and bad like any other religion. Islam shares an Abrahamaniac link to Judeo Christianity and is generally a peaceful religion. Not all criticism of Islam is Islamaphobic and at least some criticism of Islam is genuine and constructive.
Some rarer sects of Islam do treat women and LGBTQ people very badly and unfairly which is wrong. People should avoid criticizing things in Islam that they don't understand because if they don't avoid doing that, they'll look ignorant.
I am against Donald Trump's Muslim travel ban
I am fine with the ground zero mosque being built as a way to retroactively undo the horrors of post 9/11 Islamaphobia (which lead to our current evil FBI and Homeland Security)
I am against France and other countries banning Muslims women from wearing Burkinis , Hijabs and Burqas. I support Muslim women wearing Burkinis , Hijabs and Burqas. I am also against Iran forcing Muslim women to wear Burqas. Freedom of expression means freedom for Muslim women to wear or not wear what they want. It sickens and depressed me seeing Muslim women forced to remove their Burkinis, Hijabs and Burqas.
Linda Sarsour has good views on Islam and Feminism
I am against the Netherlands being Islamaphobic and racist against Arabs and I condemn the Netherlands for it
I don't believe the October 31 2018 truck attack in NYC or the Swedish truck attack in 2017 were Islamic terrorism. I am not even that sure that the 2016 Nice lorre attacks was Islamic terrorism (or at least I am not that sure if Islamic terrorism was the primary motive of the attacks). Saying that every time a Muslim commits mass murder is Islamic terrorism is bigoted, ignorant, naive and offensive.
However, on the flip side, a few attacks by Muslims that are not labeled as Islamic terror is technically Islamic terrorism (the Fort Hood shooting for example). But there are way more times Muslims committing crimes are falsely accused of Islamic terrorism than there are times when Muslims do commit Islamic terrorism and said attacks are not labeled as Islamic terrorism.
I am tempted to say that there are more atheists in Al Qaeda, ISIS, Abu Nidal, Hezbollah than there are Muslims. If they were true Muslims, they would be peaceful since Islam is a religion of peace.
Al Qaeda and ISIS are terrorists not militants
Middle East and Asia
I need to be more lenient of modern day North Korea’s salvageable and or non extreme ideas in the way that NBA players (like Dennis Rodman) were lenient of them years ago
The US should never have went to war with Syria. It was a reactionary, knee jerk move that allowed Russia to exploit us. No more senseless endless wars.
I was and still am against the Libya War (the one under Barack Obama)
I am against the Iran nuclear deal for the same reasons Ted Lieu is against it
I was and still am against the Iraq War (I was for it until late March 2003 then I became permanently against it). If there was a military draft for the Iraq War and I was drafted, I would have fought for the US in the Iraq War despite me being against it
I support the Iraq War troop surge by George W Bush in 2007. It was a smart strategy and helped turn the war around for us.
The Gulf War was more justifiable than Iraq, Libya, Syria etc. Maybe because it was like a bad parody of how the US plays policeman to the rest of the world deciding what foreign governments halfway across the world can and cannot do
I supported the Afghanistan War but we should have pulled out of Afghanistan within a few years. Despite the Taliban being in place, I don't want the US to ever use military action in Afghanistan ever again unless the US is directly attacked by the Taliban and even then there would be a case to use UN peacekeepers instead of military action rebuttal. I don't want the US to overthrow the Taliban or to nation build in Afghanistan ever. I support a full US troop withdrawal from Afghanistan.
I support the US supporting the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan in their war against the Islamic State
We ideally should have took out OBL like Chuck Norris’s character did in that movie
I am against the Vietnam War but I empathize with people who are for it and that the war wasn’t 100 percent wrong
Americas
I believe all Trump extremists (like the ones mentioned by John Brennan and GWB in 2021) should be treated by the government like how China treats the Uyghurs (but without violence or forced labor ,I mean deradicalizing, reprogramming etc)
I am glad that my fellow Christians helped abolish slavery. They did this because the bible rightfully teaches us that it was wrong (ie Paul’s letter to Philemon etc). We can thank God and Christianity for abolishment
I am neutral on the US Mexico 1840s war
I support the United States breaking free of British rule in the 1770s, and fighting for and gaining their independence from Britain. I support the formation of the United States and everything the United States was founded on. I support the United States in the Revolutionary War. The United States was founded on FREEDOM not white supremacy or slavery. Don’t let woke revisionists twist our nation’s founding
Xtian
I pragmatically side with Coach Kennedy https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2022/04/24/supreme-court-hears-coach-who-lost-job-praying-field-joseph-kennedy-bremerton-high-football/7352464001/?gnt-cfr=1. I pragmatically believe people should be able to openly show their faith on the job like he did as Coach of his team
I believe the US should adopt Deism as its official religion
I am fine with Lauren Boebert wanting more religion in our laws, politics should apolitically take ideas from all parts of society (including religion i.e true Left Wing Christianity, Center right Ronald Reagan Christianity ,other Abrahamiac religions [but without favoring or endorsing any religion over another] philosophy i.e Karl Marx , Ayn Rand, Frederick Nietczke , academia i.e sociology etc). If that means I support a ‘Christian Taliban’, or that I am a ‘Cultural Marxist’ or a ‘Shrink apologist’ so be it labels mean nothing. I just believe religion should be looked at as a philosophy, this way people don’t have to fear drawing ideas
I am against the Satanic Temple being allowed to hold events in public places. Any religion which worships Satan or pretends to worship Satan should be banned or pushed underground in a compassionate way.If they want to fight for religious freedom they are doing so in the worst ,most polarizing way possible
Sci
I care for the environment, unlike the climate change denier fascists
General and related
I support integral ecology
I generally support aspects of the Degrowth movement in particular :
I am anti consumerist and anti materialist. I support promoting a transition from a materialistic to a convivial and participatory society. People who own and wear expensive looking shoes or huge flat screen TVs or nice cars and who protest or complain about not being able to afford food like ramen noodles for example, shouldn’t protest or advocate for more socialistic economic policies because they can't be poor if they have a pair of expensive looking shoes or similar luxury, consumerist possessions
Materialism is bad because it uses up resources to satisfy ever consuming lifestyles ie energy which produces greater waste at the expense of third world countries. Materialism is also unsustainable and we need degrowth to lessen the ecological footprint of things that materialism and consumerism causes by lowering our standards of living. Consumerism and materialism cause climate change and must be combated
This means we should stand against productivism and sustainable development. Sustainable development is a oxymoron; any development that is based on finite growth in a finite and environmentally stressed world is not sustainable .We need to be self sufficient and have material responsibility to fix our growth issues, especially in the southern hemisphere. They in particular need to end their consumption and exploitation of northern resources. This would lead to preserving eco systems from humans in a communal way where humans and nature are as one
I echo degrowth’s ideas of a shift to no longer promote lifestyles thay take up high levels of consumption
Moreover repairing damage from centuries of imperialism and mutual aide/distributism can help the degrowth movement reach its goals.
The world by design or disaster might have to pass through a Great Transformation, i.e ecological economics to incorporate Post development theories like Buen vivir and degrowth if they want to really change something. I support many other degrowth things as well.
Eco
Capitalism is bad because it is killing the planet
I am against the government and social media companies censoring and blocking people who criticize green energy transition. Such actions by the government and social media companies is FASCIST authoritarian censorship and is against the values that our country was founded on. That is shutting down free speech by stifling legit criticism of the government and I will not allow the government to do that. I swear to god
My views on the environment match the Five Star Movement’s environmental views
I support environmental well being but I like the state to not get involved in the environment, as long as robust legal protections for bodies and justly acquired possessions are in place (that state action isn’t required to protect non human living beings from abuse). State action sadly often causes environmental ills , injures non human living beings and protects polluters
I am not thrilled that people heavily exploit natural resources like forests and then things like wood when the money they get from that sell only goes to a fee and not all who were part of that exploitation. This is further complicated by the hard truth that we have a less than idesl way of organizing society where the few who cut down trees ,extract copper and minerals from our country benefit which hurts most people and the environment at the same time
Climate
I accept the hard truth of climate change
It's wrong , mean, and defamatory to call anti vaxxers 'pro buggy pandemic' or to want to deny them medical help. Remember many left wing people are anti vaxxers .
I endorse Larry Hogan’s vaxx bucks which bribed people to get vaxxed. That was a very smart and non intrusive way to do it and I commend Larry for it
We left wing pro vaxxers should not pride ourselves on our supposed moral superiority to left wing anti vaxxers (or possibly not pride ourselves on our supposed superiority to even right wing anti vaxxers but very maybe not) because we left wing pro vaxxers might have been anti vaxx like those left wing anti vaxxers (or possibly even anti vaxx like those right wing anti vaxxers but very maybe not) if we had a different life and upbringing. We should debate anti vaxxers as it is a deeply divisive issue, however, the tone of that debate should not cause us left wing pro vaxxers to despise left wing anti vaxxers (and not want to literally bash the snot out of right wing anti vaxxers) no matter how wrong they might be. Fostering such disdain isn’t only unjust, but imprudent too, since a healthy (no pun intended) country requires some semblance of affection among its citizens as opposed to mutual animosities
I apolitically very solidly do not endorse or put my stamp of approval on the authoritarian restrictions China has used during the pandemic on its citizens at all.
I do hope people are restricted like they were during the pandemic but permanently and for reasons that have NOTHING to do with health. People are so brainwashed to do recreational things, I would love seeing them be forced by law to permanently stop doing those things via lockdowns, self isolation, travel bans and similar restrictions.
I give credit to Piers Corbyn for having balls of steel to protest vaccines at clinics while people were getting vaxxed and for his ‘firey’ words for pro vaxx MPs. He was very bold, passionate and of course 100 percent wrong and obviously reckless in doing his protesting and anti vaxx nonsense. I respect his right to protest at those clinics and I also respect the right of those clinics to get him arrested for harassment. Uk is the land of the magna carta . I applaud Jeremy Corbyn for not publicly condemning him
Misc
I am fine with red light cameras being removed. The less government spying, the better.
I want video games to be as hard now as they were in the 1980s and 1990s (ie cheap level design, not telling the player where to go, unfair gameplay etc, ie Nintendo Hard).
