Artelordism is the main ideology of PolCompBall user Artelord and the leader of the Lorden Lands on NationStates Artelord the Great.

Beliefs

Techno-Democracy

Among all systems that have been tried the best one is semi-direct democracy where (almost) all parties are legal and competing for votes of electors. All important problems should be decided through referendums and media should be independent from the government.

Fair and democratic elections are needed to don't let politicians or the president get corrupted or gather too much influence. Plus, if the current government does something people don't like or make mistakes, it will be replaced by another democratic government and a revolution won't happen.

A more efficient system can be made though through combining technocracy (rule of specialists) and semi-direct or direct democracy. This can be made by making a government with both specialists and elected politicians or by making a technocratic government where all important questions are solved using referendums.

Memes about politicians and the government are welcomed.

Reforms

All changes should be made through reforms and not revolutions (when it's possible). Reforms (in most cases) can do the same as revolutions except slower and with lower losses. Artelord gets upset when many civilians get hurt because of revolutions (as well as coups, civil wars and wars in general).

Although while not in the government, if it is authoritarian and making reforms through democracy is impossible, illegal organizations should be found with a goal to peacefully overthrow the current leader and establish anti-authoritarian democracy. Thus, protests and peaceful revolutions are considered to be a good thing.

Secret masons are also fine.

Economy

For Artelord, the leader and government should always care most about the economy. Artelord the Great even abandoned nuclear weapons just not get sanctions and save the economy. All decisions that improve economic efficiency must be made, although he prefers social democratic policies because "markets provide competition and encourage good jobs, but free markets do not, since they easily turn into monopolies". Artelord also looks for ways to make society more equal in rights and opportunities, which include workers' rights, big welfare programs, free or cheap education, and anti-monopoly policies. An almost ideal economic model for him is the Nordic Model.

AI planning is considered to be a great opportunity to increase effectiveness (once it becomes more developed).

Anti-Corruption

Artelord hates corruption and always tries to decrease its level. "A corrupted country is a bad country". The corruption must be decreased using a special agency as well as independent researchers and journalists. This is also a good reason to keep most of government's trades and actions open without hiding any information.

Environment

Artelord doesn't pay much attention to the global warming as it might be not only the human influence but also the warming of the planet itself because the Ice Age was not too long time ago. Instead, he cares about the local pollution, which results in same policies: no polluting water, all factories should have air filters and cities must develop ecological public transport so people won't need cars. All animals should be reserved if possible as well as their natural habitats.

Humans, especially the powerful people, shouldn't kill wild animals as there are many endangered species. It is illegal to breed wild animals in cages.

Peacefulness

Whenever a conflict happens Artelord tries his best to solve it through any peaceful methods because "the war doesn't decide who is right, it decides who is left" and he doesn't like violence. Although, Lorden Lands have an army (which is small but technologically advanced) and wishes to have a small amount of nukes (for keeping the independence only). Nukes and other weapons of mass destruction should never be used and a "cold war" is better than a "hot war", peace is better than a "cold war".

Army

Even though the army should be as small as possible, there must be some and it must be technologically advanced. At first there can be a one year mandatory conscription which as technologies advance will be replaced with a fully voluntary army and later with a robot army. Any soldier can have any faith.

Culture

The main principle here is "less banning and less forcing as long as people don't force or hurt". Because of this people are free choose their gender and who to marry while nothing anti-LGBT is banned.

Light drugs should be legal but those that are too dangerous for health should be banned. All people should be reminded what is pro-health and what is not.

There is also no official religion, all religions are free as long as they don't force or command people to do something illegal.

Civil policies

Anyone except the most important professionals can protest. All protests are legal as long as protesters don't harm anyone and don't block transport movement.

Federalism

The country is a federal system so that local areas can have more freedom to act according to their own needs.

Foreign policies

Artelord is friendly to governments that are also friendly even if their political views differ. He also stands for economic globalization: nowadays its cheaper and more effective to transports goods from one place to many countries than to make them in each country. Patriotism is approved but nationalism is opposed and ethnic/racist nationalism is illegal. The are two major ways of treatment to unfriendly governments:

• By default the "opponent" should be influenced only through diplomacy and other peaceful ways, like creating alliances with other countries and their neighbours or helping their political opponents.
• If the unfriendly government becomes "aggressive" by saying that they want/will attack/invade or calling their allies to do that, it should be overthrown (if that's possible, of course).

Once an "aggressive" government is defeated, a new one should be created. Then the locals should be introduced to democracy, education, welfare and other things like that and every local, including radicals and opponents, should be heavily advertised to join the new elections. If an attempt to make the country more democratic and modern fails, all soldiers should withdraw from that country. "Let the people do their stuff."

One World - One Union

• There will be the World Union that unites all countries like EU unites Europe;
• People can freely travel between different countries;
• There is one legal system, government and economics system of the WU (World Union) and local governments;
• Each state can take any decisions as long as they don't break the WU policies;
• Every decision should benefit the union.

Before the world union is created, all alliances and unions, both military and economic, should be expanded as much as possible. They even should share members.

The United Nations should have more power and be involved more often so it eventually becomes the World Union.

Technologies

Researches should always be sponsored by the government though they should be made by private companies and corporations as well so inventors will be more interested in creating something useful. Researches shouldn't be accelerated too much though as all things must be safe for people and the environment. If the invention is good and safe, everyone can use it. Robots, "robot arms" and AIs are welcomed.

Future Possibilities

There are some things that can potentially ruin something in the human society, like creating humans in vials, so that should be used very carefully. Besides that, Artelord is excited to see artificial limbs for the disabled, space traveling and more advanced AIs. The last ones can play a major role in the future and should be used even in economy interventions/planning after some more preparations.

Why Am I A Demsucc?

You fools!

What would you think so?

And even if I was a DemSoc, turning Soc into Succ doesn't change anything, as I accept, I take the Demsucc name. Just read about self-bullshit here. It's not an insult unless I take it so. And for me, DemSucc is the sign of POWER. It's what I acknowledge myself to be. I embrace it gracefully. DemSucc isn't just about "succing", it's about others doing so.

End Goal

End goal? Who said there is an end goal? There is an endless goal, the evolution itself! We all always change, or, at least, we all should change. Because there is nothing that is always right and nothing that is truly ideal. Any utopia you've read about either can't be achieved or is just another step in the evolution of humanity, an age in history. Same about dystopias.

So the goal is to always learn, grow and evolve.

Lorden Lands

Lorden Lands are a country ruled by me on NationStates, a website game where you make decisions about your country and see what happens. The full name is the United Socialist States of Lorden Lands. All decisions I made are based on what I would make in real life. Note that NationStates are somewhat realistic but not completely (and it looks like it's set in the future with super technologies).

Even though the country has "Socialist" in its name, Lorden Lands were a capitalist ( welfarist) state until the AI planning. The country's type was Liberal Democratic Socialists for quite a long time in the past, then its system was New York Times Democracy for an eternity and now it's "Liberal Democratic Socialists" again. It has "all-consuming" economy and a very high level of political freedom but an average level of civil rights.

Lorden Lands (almost) always had a very low difference between incomes of the rich and the poor. Lorden Lands are in top 5% of all countries in most advanced public transport, most valuable international artwork, highest workforce participation rate, largest welfare programs, best weather and most eco-friendly governments.

Also, Artelord hates violetists and would throw one into a window as soon as sees. Violetists have appeared too often and always wanted something crazy.

Relationships

Friends

• Heredism - You're a bit more radical and optimist than me, yet we have a lot of common ideas! So I say "based". (Where did you get those wings?)
  • He stole them from Christian Transhumanism XD
    • Yeah I'm just a pirate lol
• Pantheonism - Don't understand why you like monarchy so much but as long as it's democratic it's still good. And you like both EU and socialism, that's nice!
• Socialist Third Way - Anti-Putin social democracy? Sounds good! I wouldn't legalize drugs but that's a minor difference. Also, why did your icon change from wide to normal and then back again?
• Aquiles Paraizo - A fellow Scandinavian Model enjoyer? Really, really good!
• Neo-humanism - You looked like a classic capitalist at first but on the second look you're quite close to the center and you are liberal/libertarian, so you're good. Anti-socialism concerns me though.
• Yoda8soup Thought - Sounds good to me with the only suspicious thing being the socialist revolution... I hope it will be peaceful. Maybe you'll just elect socialists into the government instead.
• Gooberism - I am more globalist and centrist but you're a good classical liberal, like Neo-humanism. And, yeah, environmentalism is based!
• Market Syndicalism - More left than me both economically and culturally but still pretty good.
• Great British New Left - Two things concern me here: acid communism and revolutionary means. Otherwise, this seems like a very good variation of socialism.
• Skinny Populism - Yeah, I'm not fat. I have a healthier life and diet than most of people in my country.
• Armandonian Liberalism - If you became president, I would definitely support you!
• Blue Nephalem Thought - I like most of your civil views, including the merge of technocracy and meritocracy into democracy, and a lot of other views. And, indeed, globalism shouldn't be used for exploitation. You are basically a bit more left, yet still based.
• Voidvill Rajandeep - I was planning to put you into the Frenemies section because "no off-compass is good" but, surprisingly, your views are much more based than I though. Still not sure about decommodization and being sympathetic to avaritionism is... suspicious.
  • - What did you like
    • - "Section 2: Belong Nowhere", "Proletarian Beyond Class Racism", "The Technological Imaginarium" (might be impossible to achieve though), Post-Nation E-Democracy, Globalism. Plus, you sympathy Left-Social Democracy.
      • - What did you specifically like of these sections
        • - There are things I agree with, like "proletariat" being disunited, people not belonging to a place just because they got birthed there, and many unities being self-destructive. And I would love to live in the Imaginarium. I still don't understand all sentences there though.
• Brazilian Liberalism - More nationalist Brazilians?! At least it's cultural nationalism, but still... The Brazilian Fourth Reich is coming. Besides that, even though you're in the AuthRight Center, you're still good enough for me.
• Expanded Technocratic Socialism - I like your technocracy and that you let people to vote on policies, as well as a strong welfare state with a market. Even though you're more of an AuthLeft, your system looks good from my point of view. I'm more culturally moderate though, opposing authoritarians instead of conservatives. But in general you're in the good 33% of self-inserts I've seen and even encouraged me to be more sympathetic towards technocracy.

Frenemies

• Atronism - You have based policies but most of them were tried out in the Soviet Union and failed. Also while you highly oppose the right unity, I focus on fighting authoritarianism. And the revolution doesn't completely change the system, you'll need reforms anyways, so why not start with them?
• Serbian Socialism - Left-wing welfarist environmentalism is really good but your anti-pacifist and Serbian superstate part is just... suspicious.
• Tasavaltism - Agriculture alone won't make a country great, but at least you're democratic. And... You have a quite unique outlook.
• The Alliance of Free Markets - Free markets are fine as long as their are not totally deregulated but you guys are completely ignoring other axis and would invite even a NazCap to your team.
• Schumacherianism - So, what do I even start with... *reads the page for one more time* Let's say... that you have some good goals... and some too radical methods... I like your views on "progs" though.
• Jefbol Thought - You remind me of him a lot. The bourgeoisie are less of just a group of people you can delete to never see them again and more of a phenomenon. Stalin, Mao and other "bourgeoisie" were ordinary workers at first. Because in any dictatorship there is an elite with special rights and power and that elite eventually becomes new "bourgeoisie". We don't need a "dictatorship of the proletariat", we need a country where the proletariat is happy. I'd better don't say anything here.
• 2x2Masterism - No globalism and a lot of capitalism... Fine cultural and civil views though. Also, you'll have to wait a LOT more than 3 seconds in order to see China collapse.
• Mordecaism - Uncontrolled market and welfare? That is an unexpected combination... still, libertarianism is much better than authoritarianism. But doesn't laissez-faire create monopolies that hurt consumers?
• Council Marxism - I already know in what Realtionships section you would put me. But I put you higher because I respect your libertarianism and determination to free workers.
• Hoodism - Not too authoritarian, but too revolutionary. I sincerely respect your motives, but our views differ on almost everything.
• Nurulisme - I would have gladly put you higher, but I prefer reforms to revolutions, and while you surely have more ideas I support than those I stand against... there is not much to support. Alter-Globalism is good, I guess. And about environmentalism: I support it not because I care about nature itself, but because people are healthy only if the air is clean.

Enemies

• Neo-Majapahitism - We both like cheese and this is the only reason why you're not my arch enemy. Some of your statements look unbased like "states will rebel if they have too much power". They won't if they have a good life anyways.
• Meowxism - I appreciate your will to liberate workers yet with authoritarian and anti-revisionist policies you are risking to go down the path of the USSR or North Korea. They failed not because of their enemies but because of their inability to change and because the party members got separated from workers leading to not the dictatorship of workers but just a dictatorship.
• Glorified Communism - You have some good sides and interesting ideas but there is one thing that overweights everything else: violence.
• Rigby Thought - You would be really good somewhere in the 19th century when the world was divided between empires fighting over colonies... but now this is just inefficient and wouldn't lead to glory, USA are democratic in the end. And why do you want the almighty president? Make him a king! (*worried thinking* Why are there many nationalist self-inserts in Brazil? Are they making the Fourth Reich?)
• Gumballism - Forget what I said above, Brazil AND Argentina want the Forth Reich, each for their own country. No wonder it's unstable there. And, of course, I would have never expected someone to combine parliamentalism and neo-feodalism.
• Chilean Reactionaryism - I didn't get to see your page but I suggest you are leaning towards Reactionary Libertarianism. It's good you're in the lib part of the compass, yet reactionism is... well... too old? "Alignments: Christian, Libertarians, Nazi, Klansman" --what on Earth?
• Trump Is Based Thoght - Kakistocracy in disguise... Actually, because Kakistocracy is bad at everything, even the disguise is bad.
• Tedcruzfan Thought - Damn it, you're anti-Putin, but you had to become even worse and more paradoxal than him! You're not a liberal because of the economy only and even your economy isn't really liberal. Jesus wouldn't like your ideas, he was a good wise man that loved all people, even his enemies. It looks like you're stuck in the past even more than classical fascism.

Something Weird

• Artelord Test 01 - I created this while learning how to create PolCompBalls. Most of its text is generated by an AI and... Can it get any weirder?
• Neo-Optimateism - Wow, it's cool to see someone from PCB Minarchy... Wait, you're dystopian?.. and avaritionist... ...I'm speechless.
• Modularism - In my personal opinion egoism is better than IngSoc, yet no off-compass is good, including a libertarian one. I swear, it was there, on PCB Anarchy, and now it's gone!
• Hysteria Thought - Glory to almighty senatorialism!
• !!a!!m!!o!!l!!ism - Holy... bucket, that is some scary ideology. Ironically, not the worst one I've seen. But still dystopian-like.
