Yoda8soup Thought is a form of Democratic Socialism that is economically Left wing (incorporating both planning and regulated markets with democracy in the workplace), civically Semi-Direct Democratic, culturally progressive and inclusive( While still preserving harmless culture and tradition).

The ideology is opposed to Anti-LGBTQ+, free market capitalist, monarchist, imperialist, racist, and (most) authoritarian ideologies.

TLDR

I'm a Democratic Socialist, American Progressive, Centrist Marxist, and Eco-Cooperativist, with some added elements. In essence, I want a society where everyone can live a dignified existence free of the oppression of capitalism, authoritarianism, and bigotry.

Economy

To describe my ideal economy I would say, it's a form of Cooperativism that involves a Regulated Market with a Welfare State that would cover things like Universal Healthcare, Public Housing, Public Transportation, etc. Funded with Progressive Taxation. As well as Partial Democratic Computer Planning of the economy and Workplace Democracy in various forms ranging from complete (100%) to partial (50%) including Cooperatives, Strong Worker Unions, Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOP), and Board-Level Employee Representation (BLER) to establish a fair, equitable, and realistic system.

Environment

As an Eco-Cooperativist I strongly advocate for Environmentalism, I believe that unchecked Capitalism is eating the earth alive with wasteful resource extraction and consumption, I see the Green New Deal as a good first step to solving this.

Social/Philosophical

I believe that everyone regardless of identity should be Equal in opportunity and socially and that as a society we should abide by the Harm Principle and a general philosophy of Inclusion while preserving Harmless Cultural and Traditional Practices. I also believe in a Wildean style of Individualism in which the community and society support individuals, creating the ability for everyone to enjoy their own individuality while still having a productive and cooperative society. I also enjoy Existentialism.

Civics

I believe in a Semi-Direct Democratic Federation where people's votes and referendums actually count unlike the current American "Democracy", I believe this federal system could be paired with a Communal Government on the local level similar to Rojava.

Diplomacy

I want to see Neo-Imperialism done away with and replaced with Global Cooperation and Democratic Self Determination. I believe in using left-wing policies to make my country one worth being proud of making me a kind of Left-Patriot.

Road to Socialism

When it comes to achieving socialism, I agree with the Centrist or Kautskyist approach of reforming to help the worker's condition in the present, while at the same time building popularity and revolutionary momentum to eventually culminate in a popular revolution led by the proletariat.

Influences and Inspirations

I take heavy influence from Dr. Sun Yat-sen and his Three Principles of the People being, Nationalism, Democracy, and Socialism. On the topic of taking heavy influence from history, I have to mention Red Vienna and the Austromarxists as a whole, their welfare programs and devotion to workers were great, but what I admire most is perhaps their longest standing work, that being the Gemeindebauten. These community homes are incredible, they are accessible to all, they are beautiful, they provide good quality housing, and support working class folks, and they've survived the test of time and still operate today. Other leaders who I take inspiration from are, Rennyo Monshu of the Hongan-ji, Dekanawidah, Toussaint Louverture, John Stuart Mill, Hastiin Chʼil Haajiní, Eduard Bernstein, Karl Kautsky, Robert M. La Follete, Eugene V. Debs, James Connolly, W.E.B. DuBois, Rosa Luxemburg Emiliano Zapata, Hồ Chí Minh, Ben Chifley, B. R. Ambedkar, Sanzō Nosaka, Soong Ching-ling, Kenji Miyamoto, Tetsu Katayama, Salvador Allende, Gough Whitlam, Nelson Mandela, Alexander Dubček, Patrice Lumumba, Olof Palme, Martin Luther King Jr., Ralph Nader, José Mujica, Bernie Sanders, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Cornel West, Evo Morales Jacinda Ardern, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Gabriel Boric. Some honorable mentions for figures who weren't politicians/leaders but still influenced my views, Robert Owen, Charles Darwin, Karl Marx, Oscar Wilde, Daniel De Leon, Herbert George Wells, Franz Kafka, Albert Camus, Pete Seeger, Howard Zinn, Stephen Hawking, Richard D. Wolff, George Lucas, and Greta Thunberg.
