Mishism is the political ideology describing the political ideals of the user Mish, it advocates for a laissez-faire market dominated by self-employed individuals and co-operatives, the use of technology to improve environmental conditions, and voluntary governments (or lack thereof) to which individuals can opt into. The largest influences on Mishism are Kevin Carson, Benjamin Tucker, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Samuel Edward Konkin III, Ludwig Von Mises Murray Rothbard

Overview

Economics

Mishism's economic system is a synthesis of Mutualism and Austrian School. It seeks to establish a free-market economy with the primary means of employment being co-operatives and self-employment (wage labour could still theoretically exist, but it would most likely be very rare and not as destructive as it is today). It is critical of wage labour and private property, which makes it anti-capitalist. It is also supportive of mutual-credit banks, which would lend to producers at a minimal interest rate just high enough to cover administration

There are several means of currency that could be used. Labour vouchers would most likely be the most common, especially in co-ops, but bartering could still occur.

Mishism thinks that both the SToV (Subjective Theory of Value), and the LToV (Labour Theory of Value) are good theories, but incomplete on their own.

Mishism also believes in occupation and use property norms, where the individual that makes the most use of land is the rightful owner.

Government

Mishism believes in a system where individuals would be able to opt-in into any government (or lack thereof) they desire without having to change their residence. The founder personally has anarchistic beliefs, but has accepted that not everyone wants to be free.

Although Mishism believes in panarchism, it also believes that an anarchist society would be the most prosperous over all.

Mishism also believes that the NAP is legitimate and views it through a mutualist lens.

Foreign Policy

The foreign policy of Mishism is deeply rooted in pacifism, isolationism and anti-imperialism. It believes that war of all kinds is illegitimate, and should be considered a crime on it's own, thus rejecting military intervetion as a means of resolving conflicts.

Mishism is neither globalist nor nationalist, although it has cosmopolitan sympathies

Culture

Mishism's cultural views are fairly moderate, but they lean towards cosmopolitanism.

Social Issues

Mishism is culturally centrist. It believes in LGBTQ+ rights, but rejects any sort of identity politics, considering it useless, tribalist and detrimental. The founder used to lean progressive, but after the movement started focusing more on identity politics, he became disillusioned with it and no longer considers himself one.

It is also wildly anti cancel culture and radically pro-free speech, the founder believes that everyone deserves a platform regardless of their views, as long as they haven't commited any extremely reprehensible actions (sexual assault, statutory rape...)

With that being said, the founder's social views are often times hard to grasp, considering he considers himself an ironic progressive groyper

Environmentalism

Mishism believes in accelerating technology (especially green technology) to help combat climate change and the worsening environmental conditions. It thinks that green alternatives, which are often times more efficient than fossil fuels should be used more, and that the only reason why they aren't as widespread is the state
