| This is '''Octo'''. He is an American [[Eco-Conservatism|green conservative]] [[Paleolibertarianism|paleo]][[Green Libertarianism|libertarian]] (preservationist) with [[Radical Centrism|radical centrist]] characteristics. He believes in abolished or very low income and sales tax and raising corporate tax to keep the market from monopolies to preserve its freedom, although he does not know which sort of tax this would be, yet. Aside from this corporate tax, he wishes there to be no national government intervention in the economy. He strongly supports freedom of speech, religion, business, and property rights.

| He is very federal and believes strongly in state rights. He is also a nationalist pacifist who believes in equal rights and equal opportunity, but not equal outcomes. He is a very strong supporter of environmentalism and believes we should invest research into nuclear power to replace polluting forms of industrialism, because industrialism is ideal for a good economy. He also unironically believes that [[Neoluddism|many of the industrial revolution's consequences have been a disaster for the human race.]]

It believes in the preservation of not just tradition, but cultures, humanity, life, the earth, animals, sovereignity, freedom, land, and safety, among others. He is against advancing technology to sentience.</big>

| Octo loves to farm, read, play video games, and study science, politics, and economics. Very conservative, although a supporter of the environmentalism movement, as well as equal rights, and animal rights. Within reason. ''Moral reason.''

| ==Political axes in depth==
| |
| | |
| ===Federal vs. Unitary===
| |
| Very, very [[Federalism|federal]]. Confederate. Strong advocate for states rights and individual sovereignty under a union. The only things that should be unitary is the military and borders.
| |
| | |
| ===Democracy vs. Authority===
| |
| [[Republicanism|Democratic republican]]. Direct democracy leaves everything up to the majority and allows no representation for minorities or the opinions thereof. Abolish the two-party system, privatize political parties, end FPTP, greatly, GREATLY lower politicians' salaries. Complete decentralization with a multi-party system will nullify the need for an electoral college.
| |
| | |
| ===Globalist vs. Nationalist===
| |
| Moderate [[Nationalism|nationalist]] and pro-sovereignty. Very pro-diplomacy and peace, however. Sovereignty should be preserved for every nation, but the nation should have good relationships with all. However, they should not let their guards down. Our nation comes first, ''so that we may help others more easily.''
| |
| | |
| ===Militarist vs. Pacifist===
| |
| Strong [[Pacifism|pacifist]]. [[Neoreactionarism|Anti-interventionism]]. Anti-war. Avoid military conflict, but unfortunately a military should be ready and hardy. Anti-death penalty because it's unconstitutional and I don't want the state deciding why they should legally be allowed to kill someone.
| |
| | |
| ===Security vs. Liberty===
| |
| [[Libertarianism|Liberty]]. Decriminalize drugs. End the drug war, end qualified immunity, end most victimless crimes but especially a protest 'crime', end the Patriot Act, end FISA 702. Libertarian on almost all things, except abortion and most age limits. Strongly in support of freedom of speech, religion, business, and property rights. Immigrants are great but they should be legal citizens.
| |
| | |
| ===Equal market vs. Free market/Equal outcomes vs. Equal opportunity===
| |
| Strong markets. [[Capitalism|Capitalist libertarian]]. Lower or abolish all non-local taxes, except raise corporate tax. Taxation straight from the people to the government is theft. Taxation straight from corporations is not. If the democratically elected officials wish, this corporate funding can be used for UBI. Strong freedom of business and property. The owner of a business or property has the right to do what s/he wishes with it. PRO-equal opportunities. Equal outcomes leads to equal depression. However, very anti-monopoly and anti-[[corporatocracy]]. Property taxes, while theft, Octo is unable to find a replacement to fund roads and the utility thereof. Privatize almost everything. Except perhaps elementary education. Doesn't like public education because it leads to state-controlled education, but sometimes it is necessary, because the state shouldn't intervene in a private institution's costs. State can lead to tyranny. A government big enough to give you everything you need is a government big enough to take away everything. End corporate welfare and subsidies, end qualified immunity, end civil asset forfeiture.
| |
| | |
| === Industrialist vs. Environmentalist ===
| |
| [[Environmentalism|Environmentalist]]. Any means must be put forth to preserve the planet, unowned land, life, and parks. National parks and conservation should be funded by corporate taxes (and pretty much nothing else aside from basic government needs). We should heavily research nuclear energy as it is the most efficient and clean energy source. Industry should eventually rely on nuclear energy as it is the will of the free market. Pro-ecology. Environmentalism rooted in free markets and innovation.
| |
| | |
| === Progressive vs. Conservative ===
| |
| [[Paleolibertarianism|Conservative]]. Personally religious and we must value tradition, although the state shouldn't really enforce them. We must progress to a greatly new electoral system that uses a multi-party system, ranked choice voting, privatized political parties, and funded by the people and the candidates own money. Culturally [[Conservative Liberalism|conservative libertarian]] or [[Paleolibertarianism|paleolibertarian]] in most regards.
| |
| | |
| === Assimilationist vs. Multiculturalist ===
| |
| He is a [[Centrism|centrist]] on this issue. Believes in the preservation of all cultures, as long as they respect the NAP and don't require destruction or harm of others. [[Multiculturalism|Multiculturalist]] but it should be [[National Libertarianism|assimilated by nation]], and unified. However, this is the one topic he has trouble explaining, and he does not have a fully formed opinion. Maybe multiculturalist though?
