"We will improve society, whether society likes it or not.”

Vaush


Vaushism is an economically left, culturally far-left ideology that believes in reforming liberal democracy in order to implement Democratic Socialism, while eventually replacing it with Libertarian Market Socialism that would eventually become Anarcho-Syndicalism.

History

Vaush began as an anarcho-syndicalist who took heavy inspiration from Noam Chomsky's analyses (although he would go on to distance himself), believing in revolution as the way to establish an anarcho-syndicalist society that would function through the workers' ownership of the means of production and liquid democracy flowing from the power of local syndicates. He believed that all authority should be questioned, that democracy is invaluable and should be extended to the workplace (in the form of socialism), comparing the replacement of monarchy with a republic and the replacement of capitalism with socialism.

Over time, Vaush has become somewhat more moderate, though he still claims to retain anarchist principles (being staunchly anti-authoritarian). He has expressed skepticism towards modern anarchist movements, especially post-left anarchism , leading to him distancing from traditional anarchism and adopting libertarian market socialism.

Beliefs

Vaush is a utilitarian, and believes that a variety of tactics (including harm reduction) is the optimal way to progress towards a society that is free, more democratic, and functions for the common interest of all.

More specifically, Vaush believes that the left should pursue its interests by whatever means possible, whether it be through elections, reforms, protests, riots, revolution, and propagate its ideas through every available method, whether it be speeches, debates, video essays, or others.

Vaush sees democracy as providing the checks and balances necessary to ensure the liberty of its citizens. As such, a strong democracy should be established such that political power is in the hands of the people, allowing them to shape government in their interests and in the interests of human rights.

Despite believing in Defensive Democracy and defending authoritarian means when deemed necessary to still maintain a net gain in freedom (such as in his defence of Sankara's authoritarianism),

Vaush is a strong believer in individual freedoms, believing that authoritarianism tends to lead to diminishing quality of life for citizens, and that authoritarianism should be opposed, through violent means if necessary.

Vaush believes in realizing the Enlightenment ideals of liberty, equality and fraternity. He views Marxism as a philosophy primarily focused on freedom, believing that Marx didn't care about equality and that the objective of socialism is to build a free society.

Vaush defines Socialism as being characterised by the workers' control of the means of production and the de-commodification of necessities. He believes it should take the form of worker cooperatives which would participate in a market system. The 'leader' of these collective enterprises would be elected democratically. Industries which provide necessities (housing, healthcare, electricity, food, water) would be collectively owned, and their products not traded as commodities.

Vaush also considers society to evolve in transitional steps, believing that libertarian market socialism will evolve into anarcho-syndicalism, and that this society would continue evolving and improving as long as the values of equality and freedom remain at its core.
