Revision as of 18:45, 23 October 2023 by NewMaritimeVistula (talk | contribs)

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

Please note that I use the word "meritocracy" to specifically refer to the extremely related idea of equality of opportunity.

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.

Inheritance Tax

In order to empower the idea of socialist equality of opportunity, we must stop accumulation of wealth in small families. This is why I wish for an inheritance tax which is put into a National Education Fund for all citizens.

Inheritance tax shall have a rate of 15% or so.

Unused Land Tax

If land is going completely unused by someone but still owned by them, they are really just hoarding at the expense of the people. This is why I propose an unused land tax where if there is not a significant and constant use for a piece of land, you shall be taxed a percentage of the worth of the land. The longer this goes on for, the higher the tax shall become. This is to prevent misuse of land.

Funds and Schemes and Programs and Shit

National Education Fund

see Inheritance Tax above

How can we have a meritocracy without a way for the people to show their merit to those who actually matter to employers? I kept asking myself that when I wanted to create Meritocratic Liberalism/Old Vistulism.
But now, I've realised that Socialism is the way to go - it's the answer I was looking for at all times.

The national education fund (NEF) shall be funded by Inheritance Tax.
The NEF would be used for:
- Funding universal education (up to any stage)
- Funding the proper payment of teaching staff (they are creating our future)
- Funding the fixing of schools and the safety of all students within them

It shall be the job of the university to distribute this funding appropriately.

Deposit Return Scheme (like German Pfand)

I believe that implementing a system similar to "Pfand" in Germany is a good idea. This is because it will incentivize people to recycle bottles. This will help increase self-sufficiency as we can reuse materials easier.


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.

Fuck the Government

7% of the population go to private school, 70% of MP's are privately educated.
We are being controlled by bastards!

Social Ideas

Moderate Post-Genderism

Moderate Post-Genderism is the belief that gender should not be fully abolished but instead ignored. This means total equality for all genders meaning:

  • Men:
    • Should not be judged when applying to jobs related to looking after children (people seem to think women can't be pedophiles??)
    • Should not be drafted simply for being biologically stronger, the army also requires mental stability when seeing someone literally fucking die and not all of us have that or even want to have that.
    • Should not suffer sentencing disparity.
  • Women:
    • Shouldn't be thought of as dumber than their male counterparts in employment.
    • Shouldn't be used as sexual objects.
    • Should not be considered property of their husband/father/brother. (I'm talking to you, Islamism.)
  • Everyone:
    • Should respect all people regardless of gender.
    • Should respect peoples' choice of gender.

Workplace Democracy

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.

Market Socialism

As a market socialist, I believe in:

Worker Ownership

I advocate for the workers to own and manage the businesses instead of a boss. This is because bosses often do not understand their fellow worker and only care about profits at the expense of meritocracy.
Workers can have "positions" within their business but there shall be no autocratic decision making but rather workplace democracy where all can vote.

Labor Theory of Value

Although I dislike Karl Marx, I believe that the Marxian idea of "Labor Theory of Value" (LTV) is awesome. This is because it directly correlates value and work, which is extremely meritocratic and socialist and yes.

"What every thing is really worth to the man who has acquired it, and who wants to dispose of it or exchange it for something else, is the toil and trouble which it can save to himself, and which it can impose upon other people."

I believe that all purchases are simply ways of "saving time, effort and trouble" in a way.

Opposition to Monopolies

If we have monopolies then we shall leave no choice to the worker where to work when they become proficient in something. I must ask where the freedom in that is. This is why we must have a cap of 30% market share.

Just Compensation

Workers must recieve just compensation for their effort.
No more shall the worker stay exploited.

Vistulist Market Socialism

I also believe in this:

Regional Distribution

In order to clamp down on the wealth and infrastructure/development gap between regions in the United Kingdom, Vistulism wants to implement Regional Distribution.

Regional Distribution is a system in which all regions shall be taxed like with the Individual Punitive Wealth Tax. This money shall then be spread across these regions in accordance with their population and how much money is needed for their well-being.

I want it adjusted with population because an area with 3000 person should not have the same amount of funding as an area with 300,000 people

Proletarian Internationalism

Basis

There are so many workers in the world who are exploited and this is just disgusting. It is the job of our moral people to condemn actions such as this.

Exploitative States (not all of them)

  • Afghanistan
  • China
  • Iran
  • Israel
  • Jordan
  • North Korea
  • Qatar
  • Russia
  • Rwanda
  • South Korea
  • Turkmenistan
  • United Kingdom
  • United States

Opinions

Based

  • Great British New Left - The man who converted me back to Socialism. Very cool beliefs, seems like a moral chap.
  • Serbian Socialism - Mr. Serbian Socialist, am I based now? Ima first look at your ideas about other nations. "Stalin's State was a totalitarian and autocratic state who claimed to be communist, while it was just Social Fascism.", 100% agreed. Stalin was fashi bastard. "Cambodia was de jure communist, but it was actually something like Nazikakistocracy." Me when Nazi Kakistocrats (agreed), "GRRRRR!!!!! FUCK YOU BOTH DENG AND THE MOTHERFUCKING MODERATOR!!!!! MODERATE DEEZ NUTS, ASSHOLE!!!!!" lmfao, I guess we both hate Deng....I wonder if it's for the same reason. "I wish an independent path to Socialism for the ROC." Sounds good to me. "Romania under Ceausescu was a controversial State, but at least it was Socialist and repudiated the 1968 Czechoslovak Invasion" Yeah, it was very controversial, repudiating the Czechoslovak invasion was a pretty good thing for it though. "Since they aumented censorship, the Venezuelan government lost any credibility in front of me." Yeah Venezuela is really shit. Fake socialist bastards who don't know how to socialism properly. "Finally, a true communist State that isn't Laos." Yes. Cuban Democracy best Democracy. "Best. Nation. Ever." - Uz Maršala Tita! "I partially identify as a Sandinist, so Nicaragua is the best South American State along with Cuba and Uruguay." - I don't know much about them, so skip. "Despite his weird cultural policies, i strongly support Comrade Lukašenko." - I prefer his opposition. "For me, life is fucked up, but we can make the possible to reduced its fuckedupness." - Yes. | I don't agree with your ideas of Anti-Pacifism...but tito was based as fuck. Oh wait "our neutrality must be an armed one", yeah armed neutrality is good because you do not want to get Belgian'd. "Since the NATO bombings of 1999, Serbia cannot be an industrialized State." - Unfortunate that NATO hurt your country so much. Rest in peace, 1999 never forget. "It's impossible for me to see the whole European Continent under a Neoconservative Regime." - Yeah, neocon europe would be disgusting. Based ideology overall.

Misguided/Not too bad

  • Voidvill Rajandeep - Seems you have changed your page a fuck ton, I will have to update it in a bit.
    • - Just to clarify neorealism is probably less of an advocacy of imperialism more of an analysis of diplomacy, that being "as long as we can't know what we are thinking there will never be peace" global leaders when they see what the other country is doing thus fear arises well this was probably a half-assed explanation I've been writing for minutes now so I'll stop
  • Hoodism - You seem to very much hate market socialism based on your reply to Mr. Serbian Socialist claiming it is "not communist or socialist in the slightest". I disagree with this, as I believe the market mechanism is compatible with socialist ideals. If you're a De Leonist then that implies that you support Ergatocracy, which is a pretty shitty idea when you realize that an economy cannot function if everyone has exactly the same of everything. It just doesn't seem plausible to be honest.
  • Neo-Anthony Bax Thought - Sorry for taking so long. It seems you've changed quite a lot. Guillotine aux bourgeois? yes! let us guillotine the bourgeois. I don't really understand Egoism too much, I will add Max Stirner to my reading list I guess. Wait...what's this? Legal marijuana..? Sí. Sí. Sí. Sí. Sí. I'm not a big fan of Nationalism, but eh, each to their own.....literally. I don't really support modern liberals the most either, they've taken away the meaning of Liberalism as an ideology of revolution and turned it into an ideology of preserving the status quo. Could you be considered a nazbol? I wonder.
  • - You're not bad for a Hawkish ideology to be honest. I don't like Zionism, but eh, war over that bullshit is stupid anyways. You also hate this bastard, so pretty based. Your social ideas align pretty similarly with mine, with the moderate prog and men's liberation. I'm not a big fan of Neoliberalism, but you don't seem to be a bad strain of it. I like Weed Tax and Alcohol Tax which is why I combined all of those kind of taxes into a Potency Tax and you seem to support Meritocratic ideas with an Inheritance Tax, so honestly, you aren't bad. (Also Jeffersonian Democracy is pretty based.) (I am not just a sozi sojyak though)

Eh

Bad

Very very bad

  • Comrade Phil Thought - How about no?
  • Brazilian Socialism - Oh, dear god! Where do I even start? First of all, it's got the entire fucking Conservative starter pack - Zionism, Homophobia, Manosphere, Chauvinism, anti-Abortion, ahhh. Wait..*reads* what the fuck is this *more reads* "extremely racist against white people, even to the point of advocating for their genocide", what. "claims that the Western world is full of Nazis, while in the fact, he is actually more aligned with Hitler than the Western world is." - stop hitlering NOW, unhitler yours- oh, you did. yay! This is the most fake socialism ever, seems more like Nazbol but with hating whites instead of jews. Wait...but...Jews are white? How the fuck are you a Zionist and Anti-White?? that makes no sense at all what the fuck is this absolute larp. I'm happy that you stopped being 13 and realised this was stupid - your current ideology is so much better than this, on so many levels. Should I? Should I put it in Satan himself? Nah...you ain't this retarded. Retarded, but not (((him))) levels of retarded. Honestly, I don't get hating all socialism because of this ideology when literally most socialists would think this is fucking retard ideology. National Imperial Christian Brazilian Socialist 4th Theory with Zionist characteristics.

Satan himself

  • Neo-MugiKotobuki8814ism - Definitely a 14 year old who played too much hearts of iron 4 and now thinks that Hitler is epic because he has Dictator trait. So amazing, you're a nazi, nobody likes you."Catholic-pagan government" - are you a fucking retard? Anime/Anime Girl aesthetics...LMFAO what a fucking joke. "A woman must marry a man from the age of 15 or 16", drill yourself in the balls. "Tsumugi wants to establish a totalitarian Monarchy ultra-nationalist Peronist and National Socialist fascist government which is an autocratic leader". It looks like you just grabbed every no no word and put it there to try and look cool. This HAS to be ironic or the world is fucking screwed. Tell Satan I said "you are bad" when you make it to hell.

    "I didn't vaccinate my child, he'll be fine"
The child: Neo-MugiKotobuki8814

Based

  • Corbynism - I'm not the most based off of them but I still think Corbynism is a based ideology.
  • Agrarianism - The farmers make up a huge part of civilization and we wouldn't be here without you. Why are so many of you Conservative though??
  • Diggerism - Fellow Protestant. You are way more radical than me though, but eh, radicals are too be expected in times of feudalism so yeah... Stand up now, comrades! The gentry must come down and the poor shall wear the crown!

Misguided/Not too bad

Eh

  • Transhumanism - I think you can be okay if you are moderate, like only to the extent of trying to remove illnesses by modifying genetics (not like THAT, murderous bastard.) But when you start to get extremely radical, that's when it's too much. Human's shouldn't be able to grow wings or have dog ears, that's messed up. I guess I'd rather "Conservationist Transhumanism"

Bad

Very very bad

Based

  • Jeremy Corbyn - Oh how much I wish you won...so so much. You could have made Britain better than it is today! God bless you.
  • Misguided/Not too bad

    Eh

    Bad

    Very very bad

    • Andrew Tate - You are ruining nearly a whole generation of men with your "sigma male" idiocy. A sigma is somebody who protects, not somebody who kicks a women for disagreement. Like Glencoe said, "I hope the Romanian Mafia assassinates you". You are a misogynist and a sexual trafficker, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you.
