Revision as of 22:00, 16 October 2023
Vistulism is an economically centre-left to left-wing ideology. It now believes that socialism is inherently meritocratic, because it wishes to give everybody an equal chance in life and that socialism is the most reasonable means of making equality of opportunity happen.
Theory
Taxes
Individual Punitive Wealth Tax
Vistulism believes in the implementation of a Individual Punitive Wealth Tax (ima call that IPW Tax from now on because I don't wanna write that all out) on earnings above £1 billion. This is because £1 billion is an unreasonably high amount of money and it would be better to invest it on helping others than on helping one man go on a trip through space.
It believes that through these taxes that soon we will be able to help use these investments to help stop things like cancer, diabetes and birth defects. These are of course more important than some random billionaire getting a golden yacht that won't even drive because it's made out of gold.
Potency Tax
A sad reality is appearing where the youth are becoming caught in by bad habits such as vaping. This needs to stop. I propose a potency tax, which has a rate going like an inversed bell curve across age, meaning that whilst you are young or old, the tax rate is high, but during those stages of your life where it doesn't really matter too much, it's softer and more reasonable.
Corporate Addictive Substances Tax
I want to tax companies for using nicotine or other addictive substances inside of their products. This is because addictive substances often come with bad side affects and hurt people's mental state.
Addictive Substances Limit
Alongside the tax, I also wish to limit the amount of addictive substances that can be put in a product to 10mg/ml instead of the usual 20mg/ml. Over the years, this should be brought down to 7.5mg/ml so soon we can start to truely phase out addiction.
Non-Domestic Produce Tax
To empower domestic production and become a self-sufficient socialist state, we must tax foreign imports on produce that have domestic counterparts. This means that imports on produce that cannot be made domestically won't be taxed but imports on foreign produce which have got a domestic supplier available will be affected by taxation.
Party Politics
Unite the Left
The Labour Party has failed the people for it no longer represents the laborer. It is a disgrace that it still holds the name "Labour" Party but it is not the time for whining - it is the time for action.
I propose a New Party (no not THAT New Party, Brit Fash bastards), a new party that truely represents the worker. A united coalition of:
We must replace the Labour Party or we're just fucking ourselves over.
Why we must Revolt (maybe)
Democracy is a mere façade in our nation and so we must overthrow this tyranny by minority.
The workers must all strike, shutting down public services. Without the workers, the entire state collapses.
Who farms? The worker.
Who mines? The worker.
Who manages traffic? The worker.
Everything is done by the worker in some way.
We must revolt whilst this is still true, whilst automation hasn't ruined the influence of the worker.
Workplace Democracy, Trade Unions and a Workingmans' Parliament
Trade Union Leadership
The entire idea of a "leader" of a trade union is against the very notion of workplace democracy. This is why everyone should have the same amount of power in a trade union. Things can be organized by Democratic vote but splitting off from a trade union and starting a wildcat strike is completely justifiable if you believe the union and it's members do not represent you.
The Union Democracy
Each trade union shall elect as many representatives (in order to fill up half the parliament) which all together shall be allocated half of the seats in the Parliament. The electorate in the unions shall be composed of anybody inside of a union, no matter their age. The parliament shall always consist of an even number of seats in order to assure that the NCU can have half the seats. There shall be 4 new seats for each 1,000,000 people. (In 2021, UK population was 67.33 million so there'd be 268 seats.)
The seats will not be updated until a bi-yearly (every two years) election occurs.
Motion-Oriented Parliament
The seats in the parliament will choose which position they shall be taking from:
- Environment
- Workers Rights
- Economics
- Education
- Organisation
These people in their section shall then debate in their respective issue.
Opinions
People who are based and epic
- Great British New Left
- Jeremy Corbyn
How to draw
- Draw a ball
- Color it red
- Draw a yellow circle but do not fill it in
- Draw a white cogwheel around the yellow circle
- Add the eyes
And you're done!
