Georgismball, not to be confused with Geolibertarianismball, is an economically center-right, generally culturally center-left ideology that is typically placed in the lower middle of the political compass.
He believes that there should only be one tax, being the land value tax. He views property rights as only extending to the properties of labor and capital, and since land is neither, it's free realestate. Though his main bit is only having one tax, he often promotes pollution taxes, as a treat.
Overall, his ideology is centered around land & its distribution and his beliefs are often summed up with the phrase (usually in all caps) "landlords don't have rights", though this is somewhat of an exaggeration.
While his views on land rights and natural resource ownership are very collectivist, most of his other views are relatively individualistic, and focus on creating efficiency in the economy to create more land value to tax.
His father Physiocracy was quite old when he was born, so he was mostly brought up by his uncle Classical Liberalism.
Eventually he became the father of Geo-Anarchism and Geolibertarianism with his cousins Anarchism and Libertarianism.
Despite this, of all his cousins, he's generally on best terms with Liberalism; but he also tries to keep friendly with Capitalism and Socialism even though they seldom leave room for his views, especially when they're in the same room...
