(Hominēs meaning People, so it's like Vistulo-People's Liberalism, a spin off of Liberalism, for the people, in a Vistula way)
Vistulo-Hominēsist Liberalism is the ideology of User:NewMaritimeVistula.
It is a moderated-down version of his previous ideology and is made for the opportunity of all people.

Its core idea is that everyone starts out equal and is judged on their merit, not on idiotic things such as status, race, sexuality, gender, etc.

It considers the nation as the "development room". It is assumed that many shall leave eventually to pursue careers, so the entire job of the nation is to facilitate that.

"The nation grows the people's mind, the labour grows the people's money."

Theory

The Bastards

The bastards are those who sympathize with either/both:
- Nepotism (A government which helps those who they like gain status/prestige.)
- Equality of outcome (An incredibly stupid idea which doesn't allow for those who work hard to be recognized.)

Other bastards are those who hate others based on stupid things like race, gender, sexuality, background, etc. So any (ultra)nationalist (patriotism is fine.), racist, sexist, homophobes. And Imperialists as well.

A few examples of "The Bastards" are:
- The Conservative Party UK
- Any Communist party
- United Russia

My 3 most important values

Freedom - the right to freedom should be given to everybody in the nation
Merit - if you work hard, you should be recognized.
Peace - people should not be forced into war, but instead should be at a constant state of peace. wars do not help our civilians, only damage them.

Why I don't believe in Intellectual Property and Anti-Piracy Laws

Intellectual property - It is not an idea created through a business enforcing it.
It is created through the state enforcing it.

Anti-Piracy laws - If you can't create good anti-piracy protection in your program, that's your own fault. It's not the job of the police force to clear up your mess.

Economics

My economics are strange and don't really fit any school. I believe in limited interventionism, but only for the specific purpose of equal opportunity. But these interventions should not be forced.

Guaranteeing Free Education

To ensure universal access to quality education, I want collaboration between private enterprises and the government. (but not Nepotism)

Here's how it works:

1. The government pays for your education upfront, so you don't have to worry about the cost.
2. You pay the government back over time, through taxes, but with a low 3% interest rate (this extra goes half to the company, half to the government). This means it won't be too expensive to pay back.
3. The way of taxation is more manageable, because if you see "pay back $48,000 now", you may be like: "hell nah". But if you see: "pay a little bit back every transaction", you may feel more calm, ya know?
4. Once you've paid off your education debt, you won't have to pay that extra bit of tax anymore. It's literally just gone.
5. If you make a lot of money, you can choose to pay off your education debt faster if you want to.
6. Schools don't have to join these partnerships, but strategically could do so for:
   1. Better reputation.
   2. More potential students, meaning more chance of having a really successful one, making your school look good.

Trade Unions

I strongly support the right to form trade unions, provided they refrain from engaging in violence or obstructing access to workplaces. The act of advocating for one's rights through peaceful protests is a powerful demonstration of the belief that one's labor deserves fair compensation. While my perspective may differ from those who hold more capitalist-oriented views, I firmly believe that trade unionism is an essential and legitimate right.

Membership in a union represents a form of merit, showing your efforts to seek greater satisfaction in life. It shows that you aren't scared of going against authority, which is a key skill.

The One-Tax Only plan

The only tax that'd exist in this society is PT (potency tax) and it is very limited. It would exist on products that aren't recommended, such as drugs (all of which are legalized), alcohol and other potentially harmful good. This is to fund the government whilst also discouraging drug use. It does technically make the government dependent on people ruining themselves, but I mean, the US has ruined people for years and nobody complains, so it should be fine. The PT would range from around 5-10% depending on the potency of the harmful product.

Stances

Drug Use

I think all drugs should be decriminalised.
War on drugs is idiotic, we shall not win it and it is wasting money of the taxpayer. Let people be free.

Journalism

Journalism should be allowed and people should not be arrested for Journalism (e.g. no jailing Assange).
Pens were invented to be written with and they SHALL be written with.

Anarchism - a silly idea.

I hate Ayn Rand to pieces but I believe she is right in saying:
"a society without an organized government would be at the mercy of the first criminal who came along and who would precipitate it into the chaos of gang warfare."

This is because many people simply do not have proper morals.
Sure, ideally, we'd have a world with 100% kind people. But, this ain't an ideal world.

My least favorite leaders, ranked.

1. Mao Zedong
2. Tie between Pol Pot and Hitler
3. Stalin

• - Hello again! Long time no see. Sympathetic to Blue Labour? They are very shit. Marshal Tito liking? Yeah, he was a good man. Federalism = based. I guess you can't really have a Confederal south :). Moderate Progressivism, same. You like Neutrality, that is very based, got to keep your people safe, ya know? Non-Marxist Socialism is best socialism. You like Syndicalism, same with me. Syndicalism is incredible and has advanced this world forwards. You're a Southern Patriot, I'm a British patriot, patriots unite, haha. You keep democracy in Socialism and as someone who still likes Socialism despite being a bit funnie kapitaly, I agree with you. Southern Succession sounds fine, if the people want it. I like the sound of the "House of Syndicates", is that like a Trade Union Congress? Universal Welfare sounds a bit strange to me, but eh, it's technically equality. Workplace Democracy is very cool. You know what? You're not slightly based, you are based. You're against Mainstream Conservatism, same. Anti-Colonialism and Anti-Imperialism are very based, got to stop the bastards from hurting innocents. And yes - we do need Left Collaboration. The left will be able to rise if it stops getting all stupid with each other. "I don’t like the CIA" Same! I hope Vivek wins purely for the small chance that he'd shut them down. Influenced by Christian Socialism? I'm guessing your also a Christian like me. I like the Episcopal Church USA, I wonder if theres a British one somewhere, You like...what the fuck is an "Eclipseism". You seem to hate the authoritarian socialists? Very cool. Overall, 9.5/10.

• - Ok. First of all, I understand Revolutionary Nationalism, it's a useful tool for being able to get a good support, so I'm not gonna consider you the same level of nationalist bastards. Feminism is cool, but Eugenics is really not, even if it's for progress. Free drugs? Very cool. At the least you ain't an anarchist who wants to ban drugs. You hate capitalism a ton, but, being that your in Chile, a country that has been fucked over by Capitalist countries like the USA, I can really understand why you'd hate Capitalism. It'd be like expecting a peasant in Russia not to hate the Tsar. You don't believe in any type of laws, so how would you bring about distributism or stop people from doing things such as rape, murder, abuse, etc? You're an Athiest, I'm an Anglo-Catholic, I really don't wanna judge people based on their religion though, as that's really just petty as fuck. Only religion I dislike is Extremist beliefs. You agree with Terrorism as long as it's against Capitalism? But, terrorism could easily kill someone who isn't even associated with them, also you'd probably get invaded to fuck. Overall, your ideology is a bit strange and I don't really agree with a shit ton of it, but you aren't a bastard.
• - How can you like Zionism but be Anti-Racist? Zionism is a nationalist and racist ideology. Oh fuck Hawkism, no no no no no. OH NO NOT NEW LABOURISM WHY. Nah, I'm sorry, you're economically okay but like...why...why..why why why.

(((the bastards)))

Based ideologies

• - Free trade and hating monopolies? Very based.
  
• - Very awesome ideology that I base a lot of my ideas on. Some people take it too far though, I don't believe in having the leader be based on meritocracy but instead merit basing people's status and allowing people who try harder to rise up the ranks in the workplace.
  
• - Trade unionism is very based.
  
• - Gotta stay out of all the wars! Don't wanna hurt our people for oil. Many isolationists are protectionists though, which is disgusting.
  
• - Yay, Patriotism.
  
• - If the people want independence, they deserve it.
