Fringe left Austromarx
I very much support National personal autonomy austromarxism
The cultural interests of the intellectuals and the interests of the working class (as a self enclosed class), have hardly anything in common except the largely general claim for humanly decent existence austromarxism
I reject elitism as the method for the dissemination of class consciousness austromarxism
I support Autonomism which means I support forcing changes to the organization of capitalism independent of the state (whom we must fight against at all levels), trade unions and political parties through radical acts of rebellion (ie slow working, absenteeism-sabotage, socialization of the workplace and similar methods). I view the fiscal part of the work as political, so that the worker himself/herself should force change without having to get political parties involved to do it for them. I am anti systemic rebellion. The embodiment of this worker revolution should be an organic movement that is developed from a groundswell of awakened working class people and then the gradual transition toward the types of socialistic economies I support (austromarxism)
I feel that the notions of territorial principle can be substituted in situations where minority populations risked being subjugated by majorities. We can use Karl Renner's notion of the "personal principle" as a way of gathering the geographically divided people of the same nation. The personal principle can be used to organize nations not in territorial bodies but in a simple association of persons. This would radically disjoin a nation from its territory thus creating a non territorial associated nation. It is important to doing way with sub national territorial identities as undemocratic and allowing for the treatment of non majority populations within each nation that Karl Renner wrote about here lBasically, the nation should be conceived as an evolutionary process via open, plural and political construction austromarxism
However, I believe that the nation is defined as the totality of persons bound together through a common destiny into a community of character. To me, national identity is not necessarily obstructive toward class consciousness, existing as a useful praxis for the self determination of the worker. The issues with National identity (within a capitalist society) was not national identify itself but really the tendency of the lower classes to cling to traditions which tether them to the institutions of the old bureaucratic and capitalistic systems in addition to nationality being conceived of exclusive racial/ethnic and territorial means austromarxism
I support Anarcho Syndicalism/Conservative Revolutionism (if its truly the only option) to be used to pave the way for fiscally responsible Collectivist Communism which would be used mostly to reject great power chauvinism. This could include a devolution of the bourgeois state (see my polemic section), where authority would be spread out to the revolutionary squads and organized via this form of meritocracy. austromarxism
Imperialism is high stage Capitalism austromarxism
The first method would be through a Revolutionary Vanguard that fuses Social Democracy with this type of revolutionary socialism as a way to make this happen but in a way like the SDAP balanced Austromarxism with this vanguard revolutionism as mentioned here and in The Austrian Socialist Experiment: Social Democracy and Austromarxism, 1918-1934 from pp. 178–179, and on pp 206
This unique Revolutionary Vanguard method would have working class class consciousness being achieved more organically through the national autonomy maintenance
This unique Revolutionary Vanguard would be a totality of people bound together through a common destiny into a community with character. The march to a State Socialist (with strong worker’s rights, a strong centralized state and economic collectivism and that is similar to European Socialism) society would include a synthesis of the notion of nationhood .
This transition would be done in a way that makes it evident that national identity is not necessarily obstructive toward class consciousness which would be achieved through a shared national identity as opposed to the capitalist tendency of spatial planning which results in imperialism and or globalis . It would exist as a useful praxis for worker self-determination .
It would fix the issue of the tendency of lower class people to cling to traditions that hold them back and attach them to the bourgeois capitalistic institutions and cultural and territorial means
This Revolutionary Vanguard would gather the geographically divided members of the same nation. It would organize nations not in territorial bodies but in simple association of persons and thus radically disjoin the nation from its territory while making the nation a non territorial association
So to create this State Socialist revolution under this method, we would have to use a path of social democracy to achieve this. This includes granting major and permanent concessions to the proletariat and generating lasting transformations in the social and economic structure
This Revolutionary Vanguard method would reject elitism as a method for the dissemination of class consciousness and not use a Bolshevik type vanguard.It would be an organic movement from a working class groundswell of class awakening and gradual transition toward State Socialism (with strong worker’s rights, a strong centralized state and economic collectivism and that is similar to European Socialism).
Furthermore, this revolutionary Vanguard would also have Left ‘CPUSA Left ‘reactionary’’ ideology that is anti establishment, banally patriotic (as noted above in the nationalistic part) , Anti Bolshevik (since Austromarxism is opposed to the Bolshevik model of revolution), and Isolationist toward the Middle East (since the US being involved in the affairs of the Middle East has hurt the US economy for decades) all above Austromarxism
After the state withers away (or withers away until it is minimal/limited), I would want Austromarxism type of ‘Nationalism’ that is fused with Hyper National Liberalism to be implemented .This would be very similar to Ultra Left (Wing) economics that lead to Americanism with self determination
I’d like to see the US implement compulsory healthcare for private employees and their family members fused with Big Medicine healthcare-Single payer healthcare (that is publicly subsidized austmarx)
I support a complex and advanced welfare and assistance program that is creative . It has elements of Austromarxist Welfare (like in early 20th century Austria where the welfare state was built up and people profited from social reforms including via housing)

Women's liberation is about ending exploitation, not diversifying the oppressor class.
I believe in a fair society, but we can't get it through neo/liberal democracy. Neo/liberal democracy is built against us.
“What presents itself to us as bourgeois legality is nothing but the violence of the ruling class, a violence raised to an obligatory norm from the outset” Rosa L
To quote Rosa L “Capitalism, as a result of its own inner contradictions, moves toward a point when it will be unbalanced, when it will simply become impossible”
Ideally the Dictatorship of the Proletariat that is used to lead us to an inclusive democracy should be run by democratic workers councils and Anarcho (to weave inclusive democracy with Anarchism and the DoP) -syndicalist unions (i.e through the Left Libertarian freed markets and Anarcho Libertarian Artificial free markets and free competition methods mentioned above), instead of a Socialist Party. Though this isn’t a ‘deal breaker’

Generic Social Democracy
I support a balance between the Progressive Utilization theory (with some slight elements of Anarcho Monarchism and the Fourth Political Theory’s traces of fringe Communism) and Reaganomics (especially law and economics) polcompball Sucdem friends list :Down with Communism! Down with Fascism (Anarcho Monarchism is democrat totaliarian) Down with Monarchism (Anarcho MONARCHISM)
Progressivism - Generally we go hand in hand, although some of my derivatives
I support the Welfare state (Nanny state) that is funded by taxes that use a taxation model based on all of my socioeconomic views in this blog combined (since its natural to have ‘Nannys’ help down and out people since that is what real Nannys do, just pretend that all people on Welfare are being aided by ‘Nannys’, no one bats a lash shen real Nannys aide children and teens, why should this be different?) This should help transition us to an upgraded welfare state that is s fusion of system AB+ with System BC=
System AB+. A system with semi private charities (specific variant of Socialism’s pro private property allowance) set up to help struggling Americans not unlike the pre Welfare state type of private charity systems). These charities would rely on private donations from Americans to help other Americans (Americans would be incentivized to do so). In particular through this welfare, it would provide food, shelter and utilities for people in times of need (like winter, or hot summers). This type of system would inspire people to be self sufficient or to work for the good of the community (but still have emergency nets if they couldn't) basically to encourage people to be economically self sufficient. (Broad front allows some private things) also nat soca model grmny 1930s
with System BC= A universal welfare system where the government indirectly (as in six degrees of separation indirectly) does what they normally do with universal welfare including providing universal childcare, care for the elderly, education, healthcare and workers' comp but also includes mutualistic Distributism (sort of like this). fused with Christian Communism
Instead of subsiding private services or giving to the needy we should ‘give to everyone’ (i.e make sure that provisions are available for everyone). This way there are less needy people to give too since this can prevent people from being needy in the first place.
I believe in ‘redistributing wealth’ via mutualismistic taxes to make capitalism more humane
I believe in human rights like the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
I also believe that equality (equality is my guiding light and equality is more important than liberty, equality comes before liberty), justice (based on enlightenment egalitarianism) and solidarity (empathetic, autonomous unironically non negotiable) should be added as human rights
We must balance negative rights and positive rights. We should respect positive rights such as right to health (in a way that meshes with all of my combined socioeconomic views in this blog) and adequate standard of living (adequate by my standards). We should strengthen negative rights like freedom of speech and property rights .
The truth is, every NASDAQ corporation, every Big Tech company, every major Hollywood celebrity on social media, nearly all MSM, the majority of colleges, etc all have a authoritarian liberal if not revolutionary progressive bias. Corporations, Big Tech, Hollywood, MSM etc in particular always have the same exact position and canned responses/virtue signaling to every issue and news story whether it is the BLM, the January 6 protests, Russia-Ukraine, Freedom convoy, CRT, Abortion, LGBTQ, Don’t say gay law etc, it is almost like they are in sync with each other. The odds they are on the correct side of all of those issues is slim at best and slim left town. It is state controlled liberal media and groupthink (see below) Though the fact a few corporations own so many corporations and so on makes that somewhat understandable, look at how many corporations and entities CBSViacom, Disney, Time Warner, NBCUniversal own for example . I support taxing and regulating those types of big businesses
Social Democracy Democratic Centralism
I support mass socialist parties (like Social Democrat parties) and I want them to be dominated by oligarchic leaderships that help those workers but away from those workers’ job sites
I feel to help mass socialist parties and their workers, we need those oligarchic leaders to have control over the party press, party finances, and conference agendas of those mass socialist parties as to reproduce itself.
I want a more socialistic society (ideally Leninist) to lead to the eventual abolishment of the state, hierarchy and patriarchy ,and this (or Democratic Centralism as a whole) may be the only way to realistically move us toward that socialistic direction since the Progressive Utilization theory might be too unrealistic at least for now (or even a pipe dream).
generic Dem Centralism
We can use the Progressive Utilization theory (see fiscal section for how) or Democratic centralism as a tool to help us eventually abolish the state, hierarchies, patriarchies etc
We can use Democratic centralism to help smoothly transition us to a participatory democracy/direct democracy to help further naturally to a socialistic (ideally Leninist) society or to help us during a socialistic revolution if we go the revolutionary struggle route instead of the first route or within Social Democracy itself using oligarchal leadership methods
Democratic centralism is good to use to help us smoothly transition to a participatory democracy/direct democracy if we want to go that route
With Democratic Centralism, political decisions that are reached by voting processes would be binding upon all political party members which would be don through free discussion, and then decisively implemented through united action. In a Democratic Centrist society there would be no power struggles, backhanded political maneuvering, historical antagonisms or elitism
In a Democratic Centrist country, motions (including new policies, amendments, goals, plans or etc) would be proposed. Then after some debate, a vote would happen. If one vote obviously wins (i.e gaining a share of 60 percent or more among two options) all of the party members would. e expected to follow that decision, and not to continue propagandizing or otherwise working against that decision.
This would aim for them to act in unity. This would foster faster mechanisms of decision making. A bunch of practices that surround this are to encourage participation and debate, such as "Don't Blame the Speaker". The party bodies would have to give periodical accounts of their activities to their respective party organizations, there would be stricter party discipline and the the subordination of the minority to the majority and all decisions that are made by the higher bodies would be absolutely binding on lower bodies and on all of the party members.
Democratic centralism is good because it prevents factionalism (factionalism is a problem because it leads to less friendly relations between party members which can be exploited by enemies of the party causing issues for both parties in the process)
Democratic centralism is a principle for organizing the state and functioning on the principle of the electiveness of all bodies of state authority from the lowest levels to the highest level, those bodies’ accountability to the people, and the lower bodies’ obligation to observe the decisions of higher bodies. It combines central leadership with local initiative, responsibility, trust and creative activity of those bodies
This would be useful even in a revolutionary struggle for a socialistic (ideally Leninist) society.
The revolutionaries under Democratic Centralism would be easy to democratically centralize in a vanguard party. Democratic debate and lack of political influence under this Democratic Centralistic set up would further enhance this revolution. Plus this system stressing no one having absolute power while fostering continued debate it would be a great way to make this pro worker revolution happen
The end goal no matter what path we take (even if we bypass using Democratic Centralism and instead use the Progressive Utilization theory), will always be as mentioned above to create a a stable and harmonious stateless, hierarchyless/patriarchyless society.

However this author https://www.marxists.org/archive/luxemburg/1900/nationality/index.html also reflects some of my thoughts on Nationalism
I second this quote by Rosa L : “ Rose Luxemburg, "For a world where we are socially equal, humanly different and totally free”
We need to marginalized and down and out people to force social change to give them more rights by using Rosa L self help: “people who do not move don’t notice their chains” (Rosa L)
Women's rights are vitally important to me

I support planned efforts to influence our economy through an organic means of a comprehensive economic policy that is coupled with flexible adaptation to market studies.

Legality wise, I support a moderate Welfare state (possibly similar to the Otto von Bismarck welfare model) and Welfare Chauvinism (I am a Welfare Chauvinist).

Generic Succdem/Third Way Sucdem/ Liberal Socialism (i.e Social Liberal Democracy/Liberal Mixed Economy https://cnsrrwrpcnbg.blogspot.com/2022/07/far-right-green-red-brown-alliance.html)
I want to use either Democratic Socialism with free markets, minimal regulations and very few if any planning with some form of market socialism (some of which would be based on self-management and or non-market participatory economy based on decentralized economic planning) OR Liberal Democracy with a Market Socialist economy to lead to us an eventual State Socialist (i.e State Socialism) society with Supply Side reform (like in China)
The Democratic Socialist transition path
The Democratic Socialist transition path to a State Socialist society would have Democratic Socialism but with free markets, minimal regulations and very few if any planning and or with some form of market socialism, some of which would be based on self-management and or non-market participatory economy based on decentralized economic planning
In this phase there would seriously be less government regulation of business and trade. There would be deregulation to increase economic growth and to cut back unneeded funding
In this Democratic Socialist transition phase there would be no occupational licensing for jobs like dog walkers and barbers .Spending would be cut. These things should be done in a Democratic Socialist economy with free markets and minimal regulations that we transition to as we further transition to a State Socialist government (with Supply Side reform) who will then reverse course on this by allowing the state to step in
The Liberal Democracy with a Market Socialist economy transition path
In this Liberal Democracy with a Market Socialist economy transition path, workers would have widespread self management within the framework of a Liberal Democratic market economy. They would vote to elect their managers and even directly own their workplace .
Early on, in this Liberal Democracy with Market Socialist economy, limits would be placed on the government to protect it from degenerating into an autocracy or aristocracy. Direct Democracy would be established within the workplace and within the government. The transitional government would then exist as an institution to protect the rights of the individual from predatory corporations, authoritarian leaders, and corruption. All of this would be to make the transition to a State Socialist government more smooth and natural
Corporate donations (including donations from worker-managed collectives) would be banned. There would also be limits placed on the amount of money that private individuals could contribute to their electoral candidates. Competition between self managed corporations would be encouraged in order to prevent technological stagnation.
Eventually as we transition further to a State Socialist economy, there would be use of a local government to further social and public ownership of utilities before the state steps in truly socializing the Means of Production but in a all hands on deck sort (third way) of way that ideally makes everyone at least somewhat happy third way (public ownership is rightfully or wrongfully seen by a significant amount of people to be inefficient or undesirable). Thus this would lead to lead to a liberalization of a centralized State Socialist government
Personally in our current static capitalistic society, I support public-private partnerships along with private finance initiatives in order to raise funds and to mitigate the fears of a tax and spend policy or excessive borrowing. third way
I support China’s Supply Side Reform like Alex Keaton supported Supply Side Economics on Family Ties, which I would want implemented in our future State Socialist government libsoc.
Supply Side reform would allow the government to maintain prudent, neutral monetary policy and proactive fiscal policy. They would do this to ensure housing supply through multiple channels, including renting. This would focus on improving productive efficiency and promoting advanced industries and innovation, in the pursuit of high-quality development. Supply Side reform would mean in depth institutional planning and long term adjustment. It would be necessary whether or not the economy is good but very necessary in a future State Socialist government. However, the supply side also has short term issues
I support greater egalitarianism in our society through actions to increase the distribution of skills, capacities and productive endowments while I generally and conditionally reject redistribution as the means to achieve this third way
I support the Welfare state (Nanny state) that is funded by taxes that use a taxation model based on all of my socioeconomic views in this blog combined but with regular Social Democracy given the majority of the weight (since its natural to have ‘Nannys’ help down and out people since that is what real Nannys do, just pretend that all people on Welfare are being aided by ‘Nannys’, no one bats a lash shen real Nannys aide children and teens, why should this be different?) This should help transition us to an upgraded welfare state that is a fusion of universal welfare (succdem), workfarist policies like Working Families Tax Credit, National Childcare Strategy, National Minimum Wage (third way), expanded America Works program (with GONGO added to America Works existing structure to make America Works be sort of pseudo Nationalized) and TANF emergency funds Once we get more and more socialistic in our economy more and more people will be taken care of
I believe in human rights like the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Equality is my guiding light and equality is more important than liberty. Equality comes before liberty SocDem generic
I support Liberal Socialist Equality as an extension of Egalitarianism libsoc as a safety net for marginalized people in case the above Marxist ‘equality by enabling individuals to pursue their desires and interests and preventing exploitation on materialist grounds and economical logistics’ methods don’t work to bring them equality and protection like when those marginalized people remain unequal or exploited on materialist grounds and economical logistics.
I believe that equality (ideally Marxist egalitarianism or regular egalitarianism libsocif that is not viable) justice (Marxist egalitarianism or regular egalitarianism if that is not viable) and solidarity (intuitive, non woke) should be added as human rights. This would be better than not doing so and using Liberal Socialist Equality as a safety net and a bandaid
We must balance negative rights and positive rights. We should respect positive rights such as right to health (in a way that meshes with all of my combined socioeconomic views in this blog) and adequate standard of living (adequate by my standards). We should strengthen negative rights like freedom of speech and property rights . succ dem

“Freedom is always the freedom of the one who thinks differently”. quote by Rosa L
I support universal income equality: women workers of the world unite! Rosa L
We still need a state to bring in a revolution Rosa L
We need to end the exploitation of women, not diversify the oppressor class rosa l about lib fem
However this should be aided via a People’s Democracy (M-L] who are structured autonomously like ANTIFA) that is similar to a proletariate but where the workers directly manage society via democratic workers councils and unions,(Rosa L) rather than a Socialist Party or a single party above them,
This autonomous People’s Democracy will include be an upgraded and independent vanguard party (made up in large part by many coalitions of unions) to be taken by the social class (i.e Democratic workers councils as opposed to the dictator of the Proletariat Rosa L) to exert political power (and force) against oppressive class(es) like Aristocracy and the Bourgeoisie to end divisiveness and create harmony. Agorism can further be used to aid this
Even though this autonomous (far left autonomous) People’s Democracy is a (peaceful) dictatorship of the proletariat, it would allow classes like the peasantry, petite bourgeoisie and progressive bourgeoisie classes to participate somehow (leninism.left nazbol) possilikely via Democratic workers councils (r luxemburgianism) with further aid from underground networks, black markets and counter economics via Agorist methods
