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 John Zube, Kevin Carson, Benjamin Tucker, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Samuel Edward Konkin III, Ludwig Von Mises, Roderick Long and 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, (military) 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 rooted in anti-nationalism with cosmopolitan sympathies. With that being said, it's not an internationalist ideology, having huge disagreements with elements of it.
Social Issues
Mishism is fairly culturally moderate, believing that progressive conservatism is a good way to deal with cultural matters. With that being said, Mishism is wildly supportive of LGBTQ+ issues and believes that the rights of sexual and gender minorities are not ideal in most parts of the world.
Even though Mishism has thought out cultural values, it's creator can seem a little schizophrenic regarding them since he's pretty irony poisoned.
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
Relations
Gemerald
Alstūdism - Brimstone ideology but gemerald personality
CarrotsRppl2ism - Based ideologue and a great guy but I think you should embrace the NAP
TIIKKETMASTER Thought - Not gonna lie, the very idea of synthesizing Nozick, Konkin and Kaczynski requires balls and extreme schizophrenia so I gotta respect the grind. A lot of your views on economics and society are pretty agreeable too, but you should come over to the dark side and embrace anarchism and become a techno-gaianist
Gem
Hoodism - I do like that you've embraced anarchism, now go and read Benjamin Tucker. Post-leftism is also kinda cringe but seeing as you're 14 you're probably gonna grow out of it
Coem
Messardism - Even though I hate nationalism I can't help but respect the fact that you're a French nationalist considering the way the French have always been. I also respect the fact that you throw empty bottles at toddlers. However, I think fascism is kinda brimstone ngl

Mutualism - Ah yes, the self described mutualist puts mutualism in gemerald tier. How unexpected. Basically the closest anarchist ideology to perfection, especially in combination with Austrian School economics. 
Left-Wing Market Anarchism - There's a reason why I call my own personal beliefs C4SS thought ironically sometimes 
Anarcho-Transhumanism - I wanna become a cyborg one day.
Agorism - Great praxis ngl, maybe I'd include some of the things I said about left-Rothism but Agorism is actually pretty diverse so there are a lot of mutualist agorists.
Panarchism - So you mean to tell me that everyone gets political representation? Fucking awesome!Gem
Left-Rothbardianism - Personally would've been a gemerald if it was more anti-wage labour and anti-rent as a whole, otherwise good ideology I think.
Democratic Confederalism - For the longest time I thought Bookchin had good ideas but was unrealistic altogether until I really read up on Rojava and honestly I've grown really sympathetic towards Democratic Confederalism as a whole. There's parts of democratic confederalism I disagree with (I wish it was more market oriented for example, although Öcalan stated that he is not against markets), I am willing to accept it. Also, free Kurdistan!
Coem
Eco-Anarchism - I think that a synthesis between anarcho-transhumanism and eco-anarchism is pretty ideal (go read up on technogaianism and apply that to an anarchist perspective, and you basically have my thoughts on environmentalism). However a shitton of eco-anarchists are also luddites and that's pretty cringe imho
Anarcho-Capitalism - My biggest problem with anarcho-capitalism is that it's called anarcho-capitalism, as that's inaccurate to the definition of capitalism (I recall Bookchin had a pretty good write up regarding this), however aside from that I can't really dislike anarcho-capitalism too much. Sure I disagree with ancaps on topics such as wage labour and property norms but it's honestly not too major considering ancaps at their very core are basically confused LWMAs. 
Hoppeanism - Basically take my points on ancapism. Hoppe was a man who had some incredibly good opinions (his views on communities in an individualist society for example), but also some horrible takes as well (his stance on borders, AE). Hoppe's a mixed bag really, he isn't literally Jesus 2.0 but by no means is he mega-Hitler like some like to say.
Anarcho-Communism - As much as I'd like to put anarcho-communism in Coal tier due to my own pro-market biases, it is a valid and consistent strain of ideology much like anarcho-capitalism (despite its name). Most of my issues with ancoms are because of my overall distain for communism.
Coal
Anarcho-Egoism - The biggest problem with Stirnerism is that you eventually grow up, and that's coming from a former Stirnerite myself. With that being said however Stirner was still better than Rand, but anyone with half a brain cell is probably smarter than her. Reject egoism, embrace individualist liberalism. Although ngl, Tucker's egoist phase wasn't half bad.
Minarchism - The thing about the state is that it's basically comparable to a rolling ball of shit that gets bigger over time. Also, the US constitution is basically fancy toilet paper at this point, and has been ever since Lincoln called the military on a tax protest.
Brimstone
Objectivism - Every good idea Rand had was pioneered either by classical liberals or Stirner (and that's not saying much considering Stirner probably had only five good ideas in total), and everything else is straight up garbage. 
Luddism - I'd honestly kill to watch a bunch of self-proclaimed "luddites" on the internet try to start their own primitivist society. 
Anarcho-Primitivism - I'd kill to watch a bunch of anprims start an anprim society. Although ngl Earth Crisis is a great band, despite their anprimmery.
National Anarchism - The brimstone of anarchism. Troy Southgate was a fucking retard and thought that synthesizing pseudo-"individualist" (even though Troy was never an individualist despite calling himself one, since he's a racialist and racialism is inherently a collectivistic concept) anarchism with his own wignatery would be good. Now to be fair, some of his ideas on community within anarchism weren't terrible, it's just that Hoppe came up with them long before he did 
Fascism - Basically the complete opposite of my views in many regards, it shouldn't be surprising that I, as an individualist anarchist don't exactly hold fascism in a favourable light. 
Stalinism - Basically fascism but red and with different propaganda. Nah.
