(Hominēs meaning People, so it's like Vistulo-People's Liberalism, a spin off of Liberalism, for the people, in a Vistula way)
Vistulo-Hominēsist Liberalism is the ideology of User:NewMaritimeVistula.
It is a moderated-down version of his previous ideology and is made for the opportunity of all people.
Its core idea is that everyone starts out equal and is judged on their merit, not on idiotic things such as status, race, sexuality, gender, etc.
It considers the nation as the "development room". It is assumed that many shall leave eventually to pursue careers, so the entire job of the nation is to facilitate that.
"The nation grows the people's mind, the labour grows the people's money."
Theory
The Bastards
The bastards are those who sympathize with either/both:
- Nepotism (A government which helps those who they like gain status/prestige.)
- Equality of outcome (An incredibly stupid idea which doesn't allow for those who work hard to be recognized.)
Other bastards are those who hate others based on stupid things like race, gender, sexuality, background, etc. So any (ultra)nationalist (patriotism is fine.), racist, sexist, homophobes. And Imperialists as well.
A few examples of "The Bastards" are:
- The Conservative Party UK
- Any Communist party
- United Russia
My 3 most important values
Freedom - the right to freedom should be given to everybody in the nation
Merit - if you work hard, you should be recognized.
Peace - people should not be forced into war, but instead should be at a constant state of peace. wars do not help our civilians, only damage them.
Why I don't believe in Intellectual Property and Anti-Piracy Laws
Intellectual property - It is not an idea created through a business enforcing it.
It is created through the state enforcing it.
Anti-Piracy laws - If you can't create good anti-piracy protection in your program, that's your own fault. It's not the job of the police force to clear up your mess.
Economics
My economics are strange and don't really fit any school. I believe in limited interventionism, but only for the specific purpose of equal opportunity. But these interventions should not be forced.
Guaranteeing Free Education
To ensure universal access to quality education, I want collaboration between private enterprises and the government. (but not Nepotism)
Here's how it works:
- The government pays for your education upfront, so you don't have to worry about the cost.
- You pay the government back over time, through taxes, but with a low 3% interest rate (this extra goes half to the company, half to the government). This means it won't be too expensive to pay back.
- The way of taxation is more manageable, because if you see "pay back $48,000 now", you may be like: "hell nah". But if you see: "pay a little bit back every transaction", you may feel more calm, ya know?
- Once you've paid off your education debt, you won't have to pay that extra bit of tax anymore. It's literally just gone.
- If you make a lot of money, you can choose to pay off your education debt faster if you want to.
- Schools don't have to join these partnerships, but strategically could do so for:
- Better reputation.
- More potential students, meaning more chance of having a really successful one, making your school look good.
The One-Tax Only plan
The only tax that'd exist in this society is PT (potency tax) and it is very limited. It would exist on products that aren't recommended, such as drugs (all of which are legalized), alcohol and other potentially harmful good. This is to fund the government whilst also discouraging drug use. It does technically make the government dependent on people ruining themselves, but I mean, the US has ruined people for years and nobody complains, so it should be fine. The PT would range from around 5-10% depending on the potency of the harmful product.
Stances
Drug Use
I think all drugs should be decriminalised.
War on drugs is fucking stupid. That's all.
Journalism
Journalism should be allowed and people should not be arrested for Journalism (e.g. no jailing Assange).
Pens were invented to be written with and they SHALL be written with.
Anarchism - a silly idea.
I hate Ayn Rand to pieces but I believe she is right in saying:
"a society without an organized government would be at the mercy of the first criminal who came along and who would precipitate it into the chaos of gang warfare."
This is because many people simply do not have proper morals.
Sure, ideally, we'd have a world with 100% kind people. But, this ain't an ideal world.
My least favorite leaders, ranked.
1. Mao Zedong
2. Tie between Pol Pot and Hitler
