Basic Information
Aliases	Spade

Spadist Libertarian Noocracy is a left-libertarian iteration of noocracy that seeks to provide the proper basic education to the people to ensure that good decisions are being made by those who are the most directly affected by them. With that basis, it seeks to create a well-run, educated society upon which the population can have their liberties maximized as ethically as possible.

Beliefs

Civics

Spadist Libertarian Noocracy advocates for civil liberty supported by a hierarchically horizontal noocracy. It looks to ensure that the most possible amount of interested citizens gain enough knowledge and wisdom to partake in the decision-making process. Rather than just teaching them what they need to know, they should also be teached how to think for themselves, ensure the validity of their sources, and defend themselves against any sort of manipulation, among other skills. Under this model, censorship will have even less of a reason to take place, as it is already harmful and inefficient.

The decisions that will be voted on will be judged ethically on a case-by-case basis, transparently on a public forum. On top of that, he believes that having leaders well-educated in ethics can fill in any gap that can't be covered by the harm principle behind civil libertarianism.

He believes the role of the state to be in servitude of its people, and that it should protect them while staying as far away as ethically possible from their personal lives. That is why its short influence should be focused mainly on regulating the economy.

Economics

He believes the best way to protect the overall liberty of the citizens is using a rather regulationist form social libertarianism, which takes into account both the citizen's freedom of choice and enterprise, and freedom from external forces and foul play beyond their control that might limit their pursuits. The markets, if used right, can breed innovation, bring about prosperity, and reward creativity; it is when those who succeed are given the opportunity to rig the system in their own favor that things go awry. If there's going to be competition, it has to be fair; that's why resources and education will be distributed as equally as possible to mitigate the unfairness of the playfield. However, said competition can never be entirely fair, which is why every citizen deserves some kind of safety net, as there is a chance that their failure won't be entirely their fault, something they shouldn't have to pay with their lives for.

Diplomacy

He views the world as a highly complex and interconnected set of behaviors, where all areas (be it environmental, cultural, economic..) have a high impact on each other. He fully supports globalism in the sense that cooperation among countries on a global scale is paramount for the good of this intertwined global landscape, and views isolationism as stubbornly inefficient in some cases and cowardly uncooperative in the rest of cases. He does believe that the current form of neoliberal globalization only works to enrich what is regarded as the developed world, often to the detriment of other countries, their people and their environment. In addition to that, cultural globalization can result in plenty of the citizens of these countries to loose their sense of national identity in favor of the aesthetics and culture of this developed world.

Progress

No, but actually yes.

He believes, in broad terms, that more groups deserve more kinds of rights than they've been given in the past, in order to achieve a more varied and egalitarian society. He's staunchly against any form of arbitrary discrimination and any kind of dehumanizing treatment, which can actually come from any corner of the political spectrum for a variety of reasons. No sex, gender, race, sexuality, ethnicity, religion or any other generalizing division should be used by itself to treat entire groups of people as less deserving of agency and respect than others. He's aware of people that take this stance to some dumb and sensitive conclusions, but he doesn't let those people define his ideals.

In terms of technology, it's rapid development seems to run further than our own human ability to use it to the world's benefit. The centralized power this advnced technology holds is too dangerous to be left to develop at the pace it currently is. If it falls into either willfully or unwillfullly negligent hands, as it has done in the past, it could continue to compromise the well-being of numerous communities and ecosystems.

Personality and Behaviour

Spadism always spends way too much time pondering whether his decisions are taking all possible variables, ethical implications and affected parties into account before he actually makes one. He can be portrayed as the artsy type because of the combination of his noocratic intellectualism and his value of liberty of expression.

How to Draw

The flag for Spadist Libertarian noocracy includes: the noocracy symbol of the wisdom knot, which conveys the Ghanaian idea of “Nyansopo”, which can translate to “a wise person has the capacity to choose the best means to attain a goal”; this symbol is drawn in pink, to mimic the color combination and distribution of the civil libertarian flag; It also contains a black spade on top, which has symbolized wisdom, acceptance and labor; as well as some small leaves to show the presence of environmentalist ideals.

Procedure:

1. Draw a ball with a golden background
2. Draw the wisdom knot horizontally in pink
3. Draw a black (or very dark blue) spade on top of that with a few green leaves around it
