[[File:Apolit.png]]Apolitical stage
I simply didn't care about Politics.

[[File:Auto.png]]Autocratic stage[[File:Totalitarian.png]]
I once dreamed of ruling the World as an Absolute ruler because I was fairly young and I was inspired by Supervillians in cartoon shows.

[[File:Commie.png]]"Communist" stage[[File:Soc.png]]
I've read die Känguru Chroniken, das Känguru Manifest and die Känguru Offenbarung and I literaly based all my political beliefs around it.

[[File:Nooc.png]]Platonist stage[[File:Urb.png]]
I soon abandoned "Communism" because I began to see it as unrealistic and naive (however I remained sceptical of unregulated Capitalism) and instead I began to read about history, religion and philosophy, I was amazed by the accomplisments of the Anchient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans and I was particulary interested in anchient Greek Philosophy and I chose Socrates and Platon as my favorite philosopers and my political believes at that time were very similar to those that Plato had (3 Class system, Philosopher kings, city states, eugenics etc.). I mostly abandoned my dream of World Hegemony because I began to see large Empires as unstable and and fragile.

[[File:Panarchy.png]]Panarchist stage[[File:Sep.png]]
I was researching on Wikipedia on forms of gouvernment and found one to be very interesting: Panarchy Panarchism advocates that every person has a right to secede from their old gouvernment and form an own one or join another gouvernment without leaving the country, these gouvernments would be in competition to each other in a laissez faire manner and ideally the gouvernment that manages to come out on top would be the best choice. I was very fascinated by that idea and I thought if some people in the past could found states then everyone should be able to do it. I myself largely remained by Platos ideas of gouvernance and I also thought about starting a cult at that time.

[[File:PanGerman.png]]Nationalist stage[[File:Socgeo.png]]
I began to watch the News and heard about the Civil War in Syria. I heard about how the Terrorist Organisation known as ISIS managed to occupy north-eastern Syria and north-western Iraq as well as comitting countless atrocities there. I also heard that that Terroist organisation was also commiting attacks in my home country, Germany. These Informations shaped my view on Islamists up until today and I began to get interested in my countries politics. In 2015 Europe experienced a refugee crisis with many people from the middle east, mostly Syria coming here, people that grew up in a completely different culture and society were coming to Germany and It wasn't long until conflict arose. Because of worries in the German population and some incidents between predominantly muslim Migrants and Germans Right-wing populist sentiment in Germany arose which led to the AfD (Alternative for Germany) entering the Bundestag. I myself was influenced by the News and events of that time, I also began to read about the History of Germany and reading books about politics and I also discovered the genre of Mapping and Polandball. After a while I began considering myself as a Patriot and I started indentifying myself with the German Nation more up to the point where I could be considered a Nationalist and in retrospect some of my views could be even considered Proto-Fascist since had Irredentist dreams of a Greater Germany "from the Maas to the Memel From the Etsch to the Belt" and sought to maybe even get revenge on the Western allies though a military and economic alliance with Putin's Russia and China. As for my Economics I adopted the concept of Freiwirtschaft which basically is a German version of Georgism including a currency that looses value overtime. I intended for the spending of the revenues from the land to be spents for the assistance of families. I also discovered mapping communities on youtube and Polandball.

[[File:Progconf.png]]Shift to the left[[File:Patcon.png]]
I began to realize that the European Union doesn't restricts Germany, but infact benefits it though common markets and political influence. I also realized that allying with Russia and China would cause the Baltics (and most importantly Estonia) to fall under Russian influence and possibly even Germany itself, which is why I for the most part abandoned Irredentism and Nationalism in favour of European Cooperation. I also realized the danger of global warming, therefore becoming even more Envrionmentalist than I already was. Most of my views at that time were influenced by an Israeli author called Yuval Noah Harari, in his first book "A brief History of Mankind" he explained how Humanity conquered the earth, established cultures and civilisations and much more. In his second book "21 lessons for the 21st Century" he wrote about what challenges the modern world faces and and how we should think about it. In his third book "Homo Deus" he talks about Transhumanism and a Post-scarcity society. His views influenced mine to this day greatly, although I have tiny disagreements with him about religion since he as an Atheist sees Religion and Spiritual beings generally as social constructs while I am a Pagan who believes that the gods are real.

[[File:Anprim.png]]Anprim Arc
For some time I held quasi-Anarcho Primitivist views, because I thought as things were Industrial Civilisation would likely collapse in the span of a century because of not enough oil. I saw going back to the pre-agricultural times as preferable because the way people lived back then was much more compatible with Human nature than both Agrarianism and Industrialism. However at some point I regained hope that we might still be able to fix our problems and therefore we wouldn't need to give up Industralism completely.

[[File:Antcent.png]]Anti-Centrist stage[[File:Senatorialism_(Tentacles).png]]
I watched Jreg's Centricide series as well as his other content and agreed a lot with it, therefore I openly embraced radicalism (again). I also discovered Polcompball which caused me to see the true diversity of Ideologies in this world from which I could draw my ideas.

Monarcho-Socialist stage
I got into Socialism though three inspirations: 1. I've read Sarah Wagenknechts book Freiheit statt Kapitalismus (Freedom instead of Kapitalism) which gave me a different perspective on Economics. 2. I've looked up the political systems of Rojava and the Zapatista, which heavily inspired me and was proof for me that Democratic Socialism can work. I also adapted the idea of council Democracy. 3. I started watching the videos of Viki1999, she explained a lot of Marxist concepts in her videos, but she also defended Authoritarian countries for an example the Soviet Union and China. If my family hadn't had lived under the USSR I maybe would've thought that it actually was a Democratic country. Nontheless it still helped me to see the perspective of the other side of the Cold War.

"All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near." "The art of war is of vital importance to the State. It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account be neglected." "If you know others and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know others but know yourself, you win one and lose one; if you do not know others and do not know yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle."

"Nationalism is only beneficial when moderate" -Yan Xishan

"I am Cyrus, King of the World, Great King, Mighty King, King of Babylon, King of Sumer and Akkad, King of the Four Quarters, the son of Cambyses, Great King, King of Anšan, grandson of Cyrus, Great King, King of Anšan, descendant of Teispes, Great King, King of Anšan, of an eternal line of kingship, whose rule Bêl and Nabu love, whose kingship they desire for their hearts' pleasure. When I entered Babylon in a peaceful manner, I took up my lordly abode in the royal palace amidst rejoicing and happiness. Marduk, the great lord, established as his fate for me a magnanimous heart of one who loves Babylon, and I daily attended to his worship." "Diversity in counsel, unity in command." "Whenever you can, act as a liberator. Freedom, dignity, wealth — these three together constitute the greatest happiness of humanity. If you bequeath all three to your people, their love for you will never die." - Cyrus the Great

"Once more, the spectre of Cold War is everywhere. Defence budgets, a decimal part of which could free humanity from hunger, disease, illiteracy, and poverty, instead of decreasing, have grown. The gap between 'the haves' and 'the have-nots' is daily widening. Many nations seem to be politically independent but cannot use their independence to deal with their problems or to prosper because foreign influence and interference is still strong. Fratricide and similar savagery in the world sting the human conscience. Racial discrimination a mark of shame on twentieth-century man, although intolerable to most humans can still be seen in various parts of the world. And the power-seeking policies of the strong are hampering the execution of United Nations' ideals." "As far as we are concerned, we are not the toys of any country, including the United States." "In examining any dictatorship, there are two good tests. Firstly, what is the relation between the rulers and the proletariat or common people? Are the rulers members of the proletariat, as they would have you believe? Do they even identify their interests with those of ordinary citizens? The truth seems to be that, no matter where you find them, the so-called proletarian dictatorships are actually controlled by a small elite who ordinarily lose little sleep in worrying about the rights of the common man. Secondly, have the proletariat any effective say in what the rulers do? In the proletarian dictatorships I am familiar with, ordinary people enjoy little or no control over their Government or over their own lives and futures." "O Cyrus, great King, King of Kings, Achaemenian King, King of the land of Iran. I, the Shahanshah of Iran, offer thee salutations from myself and from my nation. Rest in peace, for we are awake, and we will always stay awake." "I perfectly understand the particular attention which you pay to the question of nuclear energy, and fully realize the possible dangers and catastrophes which might result for mankind from an irresponsible attitude. In this field my wish is for Iran to put all her efforts towards the peaceful use of atomic energy. We shall continue to co-operate with all the nations of the world to attain this end in the interests of human society." "I heard the voice of your revolution... As Shah of Iran as well as an Iranian citizen, I cannot but approve your revolution... Let all of us work together to establish real democracy in Iran … I make a commitment to be with you and your revolution against corruption and injustice in Iran." "It's always a tendency to compare our country in my time to the most perfect democracies of the world. I don't mind that. But now, what we hear is "oh let's try to understand these people. After all, Islam is something special," when what they are doing is absolutely contrary to Islam. Now, everybody is trying to say "well, let's try to understand these people", these people who are killing, massacring others, the people they don't like just like flies. But in my case, it is to compare it to the most perfect government of the world." "I envisaged future generations of Iranians proudly taking their rightful place among the vast family of nations, and fulfilling their responsibilities with dignity. I hoped to see dispelled for ever the medieval shadows from which Iran had emerged only half a century ago, and that the light which is the very essence of Iranian civilization and culture would prevail. Throughout my reign, I lived only for the realization of this dream which was beginning to become reality. It will be seen that I worked tirelessly and keenly to this end. I had ceaselessly to struggle against all sorts of obstacles and difficulties. I had to confront innumerable plots and intrigues both inside the country and abroad. I combated the all-powerful, multi-national trusts and cartels when all my advisers warned me against such challenges. I may have made mistakes, of course, but this long battle was not one of them." "They say that [martial law] would have cost my country less than the bloody anarchy which is there now. I can only reply that it is easy to play the prophet a posteriori and that a sovereign may not save his throne by shedding his compatriots' blood. A dictator can, because he acts, because he acts in the name of an ideology which he believes must triumph whatever the price. But a sovereign is not a dictator. There is an alliance between him and his people which he cannot break. A dictator has nothing to hand over. Power lies in him, and in him alone. A sovereign receives a crown and it is his duty to pass it on." "I wanted to build up Iran while we still had oil and thus to guarantee the life of the country after our oil reserves were exhausted. Therein lay the solution. We had to move fast, we had no time to spare. Finally, it is unquestionable that the oil lobby contributed actively to my downfall." "No people can live in the past - not even in its own past. But if it no longer has a link with its history, it must of necessity perish. Persia, crowded with hardship and glory, ordeals and hopes. With the help of the Almighty, the lessons of the past constitute the best guide for the citizens of the future." "Yugoslavia is, with Iran, the only country which under difficult, not to say agonising, circumstances stood up to Joseph Stalin. It was not easy to unite ethnic groups or to modernize a country like Yugoslavia, and it must be acknowledged that Marshal Tito achieved something extraordinary. May God grant that his successors be as capable as he." "Let the dog bark; the moon shall beam on." -Mohammad Reza Pahlavi

"Mankind is a single body and each nation a part of that body." "Markets are not intervened unless there is a definite obligation; however, no market is idle either." "If we write doctrine, we freeze and stay where we are." -Mustafa Kemal Ataturk

"Libya lived for 5000 years without oil and it is ready to live another 5000 years without it." "I am a fan of Atatürk. He is an excellent leader and has tremendous victories over westerners. But I don't like him. Because he turned Turkey into a nation-state. We are all Ottomans, but he refused this honor. Turkey abandoned us and after that we went into collapse. He is responsible for this." "Americans are good people. They have no aggressions against us and they like us as we like them. They must know I don't hate them. I love them.… I hear it is a complex society inside. Many Americans don't know about the outside world. The majority have no concern and no information about other people. They could not even find Africa on a map." "Reagan is mad. If he were here, I would tell him the truth about us. He hears about us only through hostile sources." "Reagan plays with fire. He doesn't care about international peace. He plays as if he was in the theater. Reagan wants to dominate the world. He wants to find justification to make war. If he does this, if it goes on like this, a cataclysm will take place. Reagan should come and see that I am not a terrorist in a trench with a grenade in my pocket." "I am an international leader, the dean of the Arab rulers, the king of kings of Africa and the imam of Muslims, and my international status does not allow me to descend to a lower level." "Let the free people of the world know that we could have bargained over and sold out our cause in return for a personal secure and stable life. We received many offers to this effect but we chose to be at the vanguard of the confrontation as a badge of duty and honour." "There is no state with a democracy except Libya on the whole planet." "It was our hope that Libya with its revolution would become a model of freedom, popular democracy and a state free from oppression and injustice. However Libya became another conventional state, even a dictatorial or police state. This is deeply regrettable. We are not like that, nor do we want to be like that." "Whenever I ask about Pepsi-Cola or Coca-Cola, people immediately say it is an American or European drink. This is not true. The kola is African. They have taken the cheap raw material from us. They produced it, they made it into a drink, and they sell it to us for a high price. Why are Pepsi-Cola and Coca-Cola expensive? Because they have taken our kola, produced it, and sold it back to us. We should produce it ourselves and sell it to them." "Hitler and Mussolini exploited the support of the masses to rule the people. We revolutionaries enjoy the support of the masses to help the people become capable of ruling themselves on their own. I myself am constantly appealing to the masses to govern on their own. I say to my people: ‘If you love me, listen to me. And govern yourselves on your own’. That’s why they love me because, unlike Hitler, who said ‘I’ll do it all for you’, I say ‘Do it on your own." "When everyone is part of the people’s congress, what need is there for an opposition? Opposition to what? You oppose a government! If there is no government, and the people govern themselves on their own, what are they going to oppose? Something that isn’t there?" "I am defending the Jews to prevent them from becoming extinct, because they are doomed to become extinct if they continue this way.… I am convinced that the solution is to establish a democratic state for the Jews and the Palestinians, a state that will be called Palestine, Isratine, or whatever they want. This is the fundamental solution, or else the Jews will be annihilated in the future, because the Palestinians have [strategic] depth." "I am not going to leave this land. I will die as a martyr at the end. I shall remain, defiant. Muammar is Leader of the Revolution until the end of time." "I am a Bedouin warrior who brought glory to Libya and will die a martyr." "I call on the Libyan people, men and women, to go out into the squares and the streets in all the cities in their millions. … Go peacefully... be courageous, rise up, go to the streets, raise our green flags to the skies. … Don't be afraid of anyone. You are the people. You have right on your side. You are the rightful people of this land." "As you know too well democracy and building of civil society cannot be achieved by means of missiles and aircraft, or by backing armed member of AlQuaeda in Benghazi." -Brotherly leader and guide of the revolution of the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya Colonel Muammar Muhammad Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi

"I like your Christ, but I don't like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ." "Truth alone will endure, all the rest will be swept away before the tide of time. I must continue to bear testimony to truth even if I am forsaken by all. Mine may today be a voice in the wilderness, but it will be heard when all other voices are silenced, if it is the voice of Truth." "The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong." "About this time, I heard of a well known Hindu having been converted to Christianity. It was the talk of the town that, when he was baptized, he had to eat beef and drink liquor, that he also had to change his clothes, and that thenceforth he began to go about in European costume including a hat. These things got on my nerves. Surely, thought I, a religion that compelled one to eat beef, drink liquor, and change one's own clothes did not deserve the name. I also heard that the new convert had already begun abusing the religion of his ancestors, their customs and their country. All these things created in me a dislike for Christianity." "Selfishness is blind." "Today, I rebel against orthodox Christianity, as I am convinced it has distorted the message of Jesus. He was an Asiatic whose message was delivered through many media, and when it had the backing of a Roman emperor, it became an imperialist faith as it remains to this day." "It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err." "I suggest that, if India is to evolve along nonviolent lines, it will have to decentralize many things. Centralization cannot be sustained and defended without adequate force . . .Centralization as a system is inconsistent with non-violent structure of society." "You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty." "All humanity is one undivided and indivisible family, and each one of us is responsible for the misdeeds of all the others. I cannot detach myself from the wickedest soul." -Mahatma Gandhi

"When Marx and following theorists wrote on capitalism they weren't writing 'capitalism and liberalism are worst things to ever happen to humanity, they are the greatest oppression of workers'. No. Marxism is supposed to be an extension of liberalism not a rejection of it, a true promotion of unity, fraternity, and freedom, and liberty, and shit. That's what Marxism and that's what leftism is about, it's about bringing the messaging of the liberal movement forward, to make it better, to make it get stronger, to make it true to its principles." -Ian Kochinsky

“Peace is not unity in similarity but unity in diversity, in the comparison and conciliation of differences.” -Mikhail Gorbachev

"If injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty" -Thomas Jefferson

"People thrive where there is mutual respect. Civilisation is built on it. Futures are better for it. But co-existence must be made, and made again, in every generation. The common good is defended only by vigilance and action. This means more than security measures. Humanity must arm itself with ideas, with justice and with economic and social inclusion. Today, these challenges have special importance. Our world faces an assault by terrorists with ruthless ambition. The motive is not faith, it is power; power pursued by ripping countries and communities apart in sectarian conflicts, and inflicting suffering across the world." "There are those living in Europe today who remember the ravages that struck the continent in the late 1930s and the World War that followed because of an aggressive, expansionist ideology based on hate and disregard for the very essence of humanity. Europe’s war became the World’s War. Today, we are fighting a similar war. A war against an expansionist ideology that feeds on hate; that is committing murder in the name of God and religion to justify evil actions that no religion tolerates — a war against terrorists who disrespect Islam’s values and humanity’s values. Our victory now depends on our unity. Europe’s role is vital. Only by cooperation can our regions shut down the sources of terrorist support and defeat their purposes. It is also essential that our regions renew the source of our great strength: the mutual respect that binds and sustains us. Young people, especially, must be inspired by values that reject violence, create peace and build inclusive society." "A dialogue of respect is the rock-bed of all societies. Attacking and excluding others, insulting other peoples and their faith and convictions — this is no way forward. The future lies in unity and respect, not division and stereotypes." "History, geography and future bind us. Let no one separate us. Together, we can create pillars of mutual respect that will support the common good for generations to come." -Abdullah II. of Jordan

"For too long in this society, we have celebrated unrestrained individualism over common community. For too long as a nation, we have been lulled by the anthem of self-interest. For a decade, led by Ronald Reagan, self-aggrandizement has been the full-throated cry of this society: 'I've got mine, so why don't you get yours' and 'What's in it for me?'" "We must rekindle the fire of idealism in our society — for nothing suffocates the promise of America more than unbounded cynicism and indifference. We must reclaim the tradition of community in our society. Only by recognizing that we share a common obligation to one another and to our country can we ever hope to maximize our national or personal potential. We must reassert the oneness of America. America has been and must once again be the seamless web of caring and community." "Mr. President, today, in his speech to the National Endowment for Democracy, President Bush gave a vivid and, I believe, compelling description of the threat to America and to freedom from radical Islamic fundamentalism. He made, in my view, a powerful case for what is at stake for every American. Simply put, the radical fundamentalists seek to kill our citizens in great numbers, to disrupt our economy, and to reshape the international order. They would take the world backwards, replacing freedom with fear and hope with hatred. If they were to acquire a nuclear weapon, the threat they would pose to America would be literally existential. The President said it well. The President is right that we cannot and will not retreat. We will defend ourselves and defeat the enemies of freedom and progress." "Sleep was like a phantom I was too tired to chase." "Poor kids are just as talented as white kids." "It required a lot less energy, intelligence, and competence to run against government than to try to make government work." "Given Iraq's strategic location, its large oil reserves, and the suffering of the Iraqi people, we cannot afford to replace a despot with chaos. It would be a tragedy if we removed a tyrant in Iraq only to leave chaos in its wake." "For the world to follow, we must do more than rattle our sabers and demand allegienace to our vision simply because we believe we are right. We must provide a reason for others to aspire to that vision. And that reason must come with more than the repetition of a bumper-sticker phrase about freedom and democracy. It must come with more than the restatement of failed policy. It must come with the wisdom to admit when we are wrong and resolve to change course and get it right." "We got a real clear picture of what they all value. Every Republican's voted for it. Look at what they value and look at their budget and what they're proposing. Romney wants to let the — he said in the first hundred days he’s going to let the big banks once again write their own rules, 'unchain Wall Street'. They're going to put y'all back in chains." "The Jewish people have contributed greatly to America. No group has had such an outsized influence per capita as all of you standing before you, and all of those who went before me and all of those who went before you … You make up 11 percent of the seats in the United States Congress. You make up one-third of all Nobel laureates … I think you, as usual, underestimate the impact of Jewish heritage. I really mean that. I think you vastly underestimate the impact you’ve had on the development of this nation." "Putin knows that when I am president of the United States, his days of tyranny and trying to intimidate the United States and those in Eastern Europe are over" "We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing." "Because we also have to fundamentally change the way police are trained. [...] And the idea that instead of standing there and teaching a cop when there's an unarmed person coming at 'em with a knife or something, shoot 'em in the leg instead of in the heart. It's a very different thing. There's a lot of different things that can change." "I am proud of the campaign we built and ran. I am proud of the coalition we put together, the broadest and most diverse in history. Democrats, Republicans and Independents. Progressives, moderates and conservatives. Young and old. Urban, suburban and rural. Gay, straight, transgender. White. Latino. Asian. Native American. And especially for those moments when this campaign was at its lowest — the African American community stood up again for me. They always have my back, and I'll have yours. I said from the outset I wanted a campaign that represented America, and I think we did that. Now that's what I want the administration to look like. And to those who voted for President Trump, I understand your disappointment tonight. I've lost a couple of elections myself. But now, let's give each other a chance. It's time to put away the harsh rhetoric. To lower the temperature. To see each other again. To listen to each other again. To make progress, we must stop treating our opponents as our enemy. We are not enemies. We are Americans. The Bible tells us that to everything there is a season — a time to build, a time to reap, a time to sow. And a time to heal. This is the time to heal in America." "I believe force should be a tool of last resort, not first. I understand the full weight of what it means to ask young, proud Americans to stand in the breach. As was referenced by the Secretary, my son Beau served in Iraq for a year. I’m the first President in 40 years, I’m told, who had a son or daughter who served in a warzone. So I know what it’s like. Being Commander-in-Chief is an enormous responsibility and one that I will never take lightly or easily." "We will not shy away from engaging in the hard work to take on the damaging legacy of slavery and our treatment of Native Americans, or from doing the daily work of addressing systemic racism and violence against Black, Native, Latino, Asian American and Pacific Islander, and other communities of color." "The Second Amendment, from the day it was passed, limited the type of people who could own a gun and what type of weapon you could own. You couldn’t buy a cannon. Those who say the blood of lib- — “the blood of patriots,” you know, and all the stuff about how we’re going to have to move against the government. Well, the tree of liberty is not watered with the blood of patriots. What’s happened is that there have never been — if you wanted or if you think you need to have weapons to take on the government, you need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons." "My fellow Americans, the war in Afghanistan is now over. I’m the fourth president who has faced the issue of whether and when to end this war. When I was running for president, I made a commitment to the American people that I would end this war. Today, I’ve honored that commitment. It was time to be honest with the American people again. We no longer had a clear purpose and an open-ended mission in Afghanistan. After 20 years of war in Afghanistan, I refuse to send another generation of America’s sons and daughters to fight a war that should have ended long ago." "Look, I don’t want to punish anyone’s success, but the wealthy have been getting a free ride at the expense of the middle class for too long. I intend to pass one of the biggest middle class tax cuts ever — paid for by making those at the top pay their fair share." "I give you my word as a Biden: If you make under $400,000 a year, I’ll never raise your taxes one cent But, I’m going to make those at the top start to pay their share in taxes It’s only fair" "At least 55 corporations in America didn't pay a single penny in federal income tax last year. That’s got to change—and my Build Back Better Agenda will get it done" "Climate change is already. . . costing our nations trillions of dollars [and] we know that none of us can escape the worst that’s yet to come if we fail to seize this moment. But. . . within the growing catastrophe, I believe there’s an incredible opportunity. . . . We have the ability to invest in ourselves and build an equitable clean-energy future and in the process create millions of good-paying jobs [while we] create an environment that raises the standard of living around the world. When I talk to the American people about climate change, I tell them it’s about jobs. It’s about workers [and the] communities that will revitalize themselves around new industries and opportunities. So, let’s get to work." "Look, there is no federal solution. This gets solved at a state level." "You can’t love your country only when you win. You can’t obey the law only when it’s convenient. You can’t be patriotic when you embrace and enable lies." "Six days ago, Russia’s Vladimir Putin sought to shake the foundations of the free world thinking he could make it bend to his menacing ways. But he badly miscalculated. He thought he could roll into Ukraine and the world would roll over. Instead he met a wall of strength he never imagined. He met the Ukrainian people. From President Zelenskyy to every Ukrainian, their fearlessness, their courage, their determination, inspires the world. Groups of citizens blocking tanks with their bodies. Everyone from students to retirees teachers turned soldiers defending their homeland." "Despite the disturbing rhetoric coming out of the Kremlin, the facts are plain for everybody to see. We’re not attacking Russia; we’re helping Ukraine defend itself against Russian aggression. And just as Putin chose to launch this brutal invasion, he could make the choice to end this brutal invasion. Russia is the aggressor. No if, ands, or buts about it. Russia is the aggressor. And the world must and will hold Russia accountable." "America must offer meaningful opportunities for redemption and rehabilitation to empower those who have been incarcerated to become productive, law-abiding, members of society, and reduce crime and make our communities safer." "My dad used to say "A job’s about a lot more than a paycheck, it’s about your dignity, it’s about place in the community." What these guys do is they care about the dignity of the worker, and I see things are really beginning to change. I really believe it. And Senator Portman, since he's not running again, I can say all the nice things about him that I want. ...[W]e reduced the deficit by a total of 350 billion dollars, that’s reduced the deficit, last year, and this year, by the end of the fiscal, by October 1st, We will of reduced this year’s deficit by 1 Trillion, 500 Billion dollars. Never in the history of America has that happened before." "That’s no malarkey, That's a fact." "We’re making "Buy America" a reality, not just a slogan." "I promise you. Hate will not prevail. And white supremacy will not have the last word. For the evil did come to Buffalo, and it’s come to all too many places, manifested in gunmen who massacred innocent people in the name of hateful and perverse ideology rooted in fear and racism." "Silence is complicity. It’s complicity. We cannot remain silent." "Look, I’m not naïve. I know tragedy will come again. It cannot be forever overcome. It cannot be fully understood either. But there are certain things we can do. We can keep assault weapons off our streets. We’ve done it before. I did it when we passed the crime bill last time. And violence went down, shootings went down. You can’t prevent people from being radicalized to violence, but we can address the relentless exploitation of the Internet to recruit and mobilize terrorism. We just need to have the courage to do that, to stand up." -Joe R. Biden

"It was Putin who chose this war (2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine), not the Russian people, so we must see clearly that this is Putin's war." "The Russian invasion of Ukraine marks a turning point. It is our duty to do our best to support Ukraine in defending itself against Putin's invading army." "We will have to invest more in the security of our country to protect out freedom and democracy." -Olaf Scholz

Silas - We have a lot of similar ideas, you're probably the User on this website who's ideologically closest to me. NARAN - Your Ideology is so based that I decided to add you here on my own accord. Although I am somewhat sceptic about class collaboration and giving the bourgeois too much representation after all they're always after their own benefit. Still very based. - He seems to be a very nice guy and he agrees with me on most issues, although we have disagreements over the Institution of Monarchy - Look above Hood856 - Similar as above, but why do you hate Federalism? - Similar as above. We have similar views on many issues, but Europhobia is kinda cringe. - Similar to Yoda8soup, although I heard you did some questionable things... IvarsBalodis - A fellow Guild Socialist and a nice guy, he is a bit more Conservative than me and also more Nationalist though. Anglo Germanic socialist- You are an okay person but you sometimes say weird things in spaces that have nothing to do with it. - I see, you somewhat changed your Ideology... seems to be pretty based. - You seem like a really cool guy and it seems like we agree on most issues, I am no fan of Seperatism since you're content with Autonomy that's no issue. - You seem like a cool dude, but we do have some disagreements too. Nothing to major though. Why is almost everyone on this Wiki a Nationaloid Recucklican?

And sometimes he appears to me to be the personification of r/lindnerwichsvorlagen GER: Ein Halbdeutscher wie ich und er ist auch sehr Freundlich. Aber ich bin nicht der größte Fan von Kapitalismus und Wirtschaflicher Liberalisierung. Und manchmal kommt er mir wie die personifizierung von r/lindnerwichsvorlagen vor NazBolGANG12 - Thank you for editing my page, your Ideology is okayish I guess. - You are a fellow leftist and you also like Vaush, Dom Pedro II and we both don't like Tankies. but you also are a cringe Ultraprogressive Republican and you see religion as inhierently Reactionary and want to abolish it. May the Gods have mercy upon you. At least you don't want to persecute me for it like some other people. Melkor - A fellow Pagan Monarchist, you seem to be pretty interesting although I don't like Reactionarism (at least it's not Christian Reactionarism though) and you're a bit too Authoritarian for my taste, also I am sceptical about Aristocracy. M99 - ENG: He seems to be pretty based, but he doesn't likes me. GER: Scheint ziemlich basierend zu sein, aber er mag mich nicht. - Mostly based but Post-Humanism is very cringe. CynicalLibra - Hmmm, for an ML you are actually suprisingly based although we still have some disagreements. You also seem to be a nice person. - Wacky gang! We might have slight disagreements on some issues (Urbism, Anarchism, Orthodox Theocracy etc.) but you're mostly based. (But why do you like that Murderous Psychopath?) - Distributism is nice and a lot of parts of your Ideology are based, but why the Jacobinism?

Dragon Red - Unitarianism and Republicanism are highly cringe although Atatürk was kinda based you're not him... and you're a bit too Authoritarian for my liking so there's that.

Positive/Friends
Federalism - FEDERALISM IS LOVE, FEDERALISM IS LIFE! Democratic Confederalism - Biji Rojava! I heard you did some war crimes though World Federalism - United we stand, divided we fall. Social Distributism - You influenced my Economics greatly, but on the other hand your founder is influenced by Duginism... Still pretty based. Proutism - You're really close to my ideas! Social Corporatism - Konzertierte Aktion goes brrrr. Guild Socialism - Bring back the Guilds! Market Socialism - I love Co-ops! Also a market economy can be quite efficent. Syndicalism - Soooolidarity forever, for the Union makes us strong! Geosyndicalism - Tenant Unions are BASED! But why do you hate Monarchism so much? Georgism - Tax Land! But Capitalism is Cringe... you're one of the most tolerable Capitalists though. But are you really sure about unrestricted trade? Why do I even call myself a Georgist? Ordoliberalism - You might be a Neoliberal but German Neoliberalism is best Neoliberalism! Monarchism - Wir wolln' unsren alten Kaiser Wilhelm wiederham, wir wollen unsren alten Kaiser Wilhelm wiederham, aber den mit dem Bart, mit dem langen Bart. Constitutional Monarchism - One of the most successful forms of Gouvernment. Monarcho-Socialism - Workers of the World, embrace Monarchy! Interculturalism - Integrating Immigrants into our culture is BASED! But we should put effort into preserving cultures that are native to our lands though. Indigenism - Native Rights are Human Rights! Patriotism - 'SCHLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND!!! Populareism - Land to the poor and civilisation to barbarians ! Protectionism - Buy local, becuz ya gotta P R O T E C C but some trade wouldn't hurt, don't you think? Reformist Marxism - I think you're my favorite Marxist and I agree with you on a lot, the Communist Party of Japan seems to be pretty based too! I also share your opinion on Imperialism.

Mixed/Frenemies
Ceremonial Monarchism - Maybe you should idk. do something? However if the Monarch is very incompetent it might be best to adopt this system, temporarily at least. Globalism - Global problems need global solutions! However Economic Globalization is mostly cringe. Zionism - My secret master. You managed to establish a sucessful and long lasting Democracy in the middle east, congrats on that. But maybe you need to put more effort into making peace with the Palestinians. Also I prefer the Isratin solution, although it's pretty unlikely. Technocracy - Giving experts a say in gouvernance seems like a great idea, however you don't realise that every gouvernment requires support from its people to exist in the long term and you also don't realize than Populism is a good strategy to gain political power. And letting Unions and vocational Guilds gouvern themselves pretty much ensures decisions are in the hand of experts. R-right? Tribalism - Long live the Tribe, long live the Tribe elder and praise Sun God! On the other hand... Look I respect most of your Traditions but you should learn to use Technology, embrace the State and... Wait, what are you doing?! Don't EAT MEEEEE... Pagan Theocracy - Look, I get that you want to protect your traditional way of life but Involving religious institutions in gouvernance will make them attractive for Corruption and Manipulation, your tribal variant is a bit more based however, also stop sacrificing Humans, the Gods can feed themselves without our help. Chinese Theocracy - The Mandate of Heaven is a very interesting institution, it forged China into an united superpower, but also gave the people the ability to hold their rulers accountable for their mistakes at the cost of years of war and millions of deaths. Get rid of that whole Absolutism thingy though. State Socialism - Sometimes it can be efficent, but often not. Which is why I prefer Cooperatives and Guilds for the means of production. Black Nationalism - BLACK LIVES MATTER! but Black Supremacy and Black Seperatism are cringe. Dengism - As much as I criticize and complain about you, I can't deny that you have done a good job reversing Maos disastrous policies, lifting people out of poverty, expanding infrastructure and turning China into a great Power again. But there is a dream that will never die, always remember that. Hindutva - Glory to India, fuck P*kistan Uhhhh, I mean shoo evil Fascist, shoo! It's not like I like you or anything baka

Ingsoc - Literaly 1984 Fascism - You might've been better than the Nazis and the Stalinists but you still were a totalitarian dictator who comitted many atrocities in Africa and the Balkans. And you opressed Germans in South Tyrol! Esoteric Fascism - You ruin the reputation of our ancestors anchient religions! National "Socialism" - You ruined my country. At least you improved animal welfare Stalinism - You may have beaten the guy above and industrialized the Soviet Union further but for your atrocities you still deserved to die in piss. Also Destalinisation was BASED. However, Gleb Bokii was very based Maoism - The literal definition of "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" Pol Potism - We're reaching levels of Tyranny that shouldn't even be possible! You're even worse than IngSoc! On the other hand you greatly reduced carbon emissions and Urbanites are kinda cringe Unitarism - Absolute sc*m! Republicanism - You don't want equality, you just want power for yourself! Banana Republicanism - Weak and divided Recucklics Republics being controlled and exploited by large private Corporations and foreign powers? Why am I not suprised... Pinochetism - Aren't you literaly the guy above? Neoliberalism - Thanks for the gender neutral toilets! Macron is somewhat based though... Autocracy - No man rules alone... Absolute Monarchism - Same as above. Some Absolutists were based though. Seperatism - Hypocritical Chauvinist traitor, REEEEEEEEE!!! I have sympathies to some of you though Anti-Japaneseism - This is not very Kawaii.

Can you add me-Anglo Germanic socalist
 * [[File:Panth.png]] I just did it.

Thanks, also sorry if I do say weird things I obviously dont mean it sorry anyway. (If u are talking about the hank simp thing, it is simply because that is his ideology and I am very invested in the fictional character hank Schroeder) Oh if I could make a profile it would be a communist emblem on a German flag (I dont know)-Anglo Germanic socalist

I have a logo now
 * [[File:Panth.png]] - Ummm, nice that you have an own logo hahaha... DDR flashbacks

Oh I didn’t mean to imply that-Anglo Germanic socalist

ddr is back your icon shouts.German socialist

Yes I tried something simple to start with I probably will have an Anglo thing added in there
 * [[File:Panth.png]] - Okay then.

'''World Federalist but also claimed indigenist? Sorry, I can't take this in anyway seriously. Seems to me like a vaguely "progressive" neo-colonial policy'''
 * [[File:Panth.png]] - I suggest you read "Neo-Colonialism, the last stage of Imperialism" by Kwame Nkrumah

Hey can you change your comment for me now that I have an icon
 * [[File:Panth.png]] - Can you post your icon in my comments?


 * [[File:Panth.png]] - Unfortunally your link doesn't seems to be working.

DragonRed How good is the conference system? How is the Swiss cantonal system?
 * [[File:Panth.png]] - a Confederal system ultimatively depends on how well it is maintained by it's member states. Under a Confederation the constituent states are part of a Confederated state but keep souvereignity, meaning they can leave the Confederation whenever they wish to do so and Confederations often need the consent of all member states to make a decision. It basically Federalism but the member states have even more power. As for Switzerland it is rather a Federal state than a Confederal one ever since the Sonderbundkrieg (seperate alliance war).

DragonRed Why are you not love Pakistan ? 1. Pakistan was established because Indian Muslims thought they deserve special treatment, just because they are Muslim. While India was born as a secular country, Pakistan was born as an Islamic Republic and it's borders were created by someone who never has even set a foot on India 2. Pakistan started an agressive war against Jammu and Kashmir and occupies territories of it until this day 3. Pakistan commited a genocide in Bangladesh and did barely anything to make up for it. They also raped 10 times as many people as Imperial Japan in Nanjing did. 4. Pakistan funded the Taliban.
 * [[File:Panth.png]] - Because:

very true. They always come to our country. People in my country learned what kind of person they are. Now they hate them. But they think they love us.

Also why do you love rojava? It has nothing to do with your opinion. Kurds are overrated in the west. I agree with what the Pakistanis are saying. I don't like it much, but I don't hate it either. Just stay away from my country. - Your ideology would honestly be pretty based if it wasn't for the monarchism stuff
 * [[File:Panth.png]] - Rojava is fighting for freedom and democracy in Syria, they played a huge role in defeating ISIS and established a successful Democratic Socialist system in the middle east.
 * [[File:Panth.png]] - Same for you but with the Republicanism stuff.

I think it was Russian general Aleksandr Dvornikov, referred to as the butcher of Syria who ended ISID. Rojova did not finish ISID. He's a lie. How will they establish a democratic socialist model between Turkey and the Syrian border? If it was, we would be the first to hear it. They are drug smugglers. Vagrant people seeking adventure. The Kurds are just like the Pakistanis.. Among the Kurds, the Taliban emerged. I say this as someone who knows the geography, infrastructure and people of that country.Even if Rojava sits down and comes to an agreement with Assad, the Kurdish peshmerga will attack this time. - You've been added to my page as requested, would appreciate if you added back :3
 * - Rojava did the Bulk of fighting in the Raqqa campaign (Raqqa was the headquarter of ISIS) and the Women protection units heavily demoralized ISIS fighters because they thought they would go to hell if they get killed by women. I also suggest you look up Democratic Confederali
 * [[File:Panth.png]] - I did.

Do you support the division of germany and the independence of bavaria?

Let's say you have an organization in Bavaria.

Let's say an organization in Bavaria is fighting for democratic autonomy and they are killing your people. Germany suffers. Do you still support them? Or will you oppose? Another example: After world war two (during which Germany had brutally occupied Poland and commited genocide there) the Soviets and Poles commited an ethnic cleansing on the Germans in Pommerania, East Prussia, Easten Brandenburg and Silesia, even on my own family as a revenge for WWII and to move the Polish border west. While I still think that that was a horrible act I wouldn't want Germany to attempt to reconquer and recolonize those territories since that would cause even more violence and Germany benefits from European cooperation. Also most Kurds and even the PKK don't want Independence anymore, they just want Autonomy and while Bavaria already enjoys great Autonomy and is treated well in Germany, the Kurds in Turkey are not.
 * [[File:Panth.png]] -Hmmm. Good question actually. So I wouldn't support a divided Germany and I might even support military force against those bavarian rebels. On the other hand if Germany treated bavaria as bad as Turkey treats the Kurds I would have some understanding for them, while still opposing terrorist attacks.

No one in Turkey lives a good life either. This includes Turks. Because its name is Turkey, do you think Turks live in very good conditions?

Would you oppose if bavaria decides to become independent?

Also why are you kingist? The kingdom should stay in the fairy tale books. We know well when it was a kingdom. There was a terrible life, ignorance and poverty. Thanks to the Enlightenment, society reached an advanced value. The monarchy copied it exactly. If there was no enlightenment; order would prevail. All kingdoms must disappear and become republics. Church and state should be completely separated from each other and there should be secularism. Even the Vatican should disappear.

We no longer need royalty, the authority of the church.all autonomous regions should also be independent.
 * [[File:Panth.png]] - Sure, the Turks probably have their own problem but from what I've seen most of the people in the costal areas seem relatively well of, at least compared to the rest of the world and Turks also don't need to fear that the Turkish gouvernent displaces their villages. Yes I would oppose Bavarian Independence since I believe that the world needs unity, not division. I am a Monarchist because I believe that a Monarch can act as an unfying figure of a country better than most presidents could, since Presidential elections are often intertwined with party politics whose results will make a part of the population happy but another part will be unsatisfied, thus creating division within a country, not to mention that the presidential canditates and their campains in many countries are backed by wealthy elites, while a Monarch is connected to the land he regins over by tradition and heiritage, a ruler that is raised from birth to rule will be better than a carrier president that has only briefly studied politics and wants to earn money in the first place. The terrible life before the modern age wasn't because of the Kingdom, it was because technology wasn't delevoped as much as today, society in the middle ages was dominated by Totalitarian monotheist clerics that sought to keep the population ignorant to maintain their power. You're right that the Enlightenment generaly improved society (although the French Revolution was very brutal), however many Monarchs realized this and adopted the values of the Enlightenment themselves, that way most Monarchies of Europe became either enlightened Absolutist monarchies or Constituional ones (Britain already was a Constitutional Monarchy since the middle ages althought until 1800 the lower classes were not represented). In history there were many people that wanted to abolish the Monarchy, some went rather well like the American Revolution, the Turkish etc. but many other revolutions failed miserably and led to Millions of deaths, the collapse of countries and Totalitarian genocidal states that crushed any opposition. modern Monarchies, such as Denmark, Sweden, Norway and other European Monarchies are among the most delevoped countries on Earth, with great education and high living standarts while many Republics, like in Africa, the middle east, south America and partly Asia have an extreme amount of problems. I sympathize with Republicanism since religious institutions that are involved in higher layers of gouvernment often become corrupt, opportunistic and oppressive, although local community gouvernments should be free to adapt more relgious forms of gouverment if they wish to (in certain limits of course) but Secularism is generally way better than Theocracies and State Atheist societies.

His dream of what he referred to as a "Great Civilization" (Persian: تمدن بزرگ, romanized: tamadon-e bozorg) in Iran led to a rapid industrial and military modernization, as well as economic and social reforms. Mohammad Reza introduced the White Revolution, a series of reforms which rapidly modernized the nation by nationalizing key industries and land redistribution with the intention of transforming Iran into a global power. The Shah initiated major investments in infrastructure, subsidies and land grants for peasant populations, profit sharing for industrial workers, construction of nuclear facilities, the nationalization of Iran’s natural resources, and literacy programs which were considered some of the most effective in the world. The Shah also instituted economic policy tariffs and preferential loans to Iranian businesses which sought to create an independent economy for the nation. Manufacturing of cars, appliances, and other goods in Iran increased substantially leading to the creation of a new industrialist class that was considered insulated from threats of foreign competition. By the 1970s, the Shah was seen as mastered statesman and used his growing power to pass the 1973 Sale and Purchase Agreement. These reforms culminated in decades of sustained economic growth that would make Iran one of the fastest-growing economies of both developed and undeveloped nations. During his 38-year rule, Iran spent billions on industry, education, health, and armed forces and enjoyed economic growth rates exceeding the United States, Britain, and France. National income rose 423 times over. The nation saw an unprecedented rise in per capita income rising to the highest level at any point in Iran's history and high levels of urbanization. By 1977, Iran's armed services spending, which the Shah saw as a means to end foreign intervention in Iran, had made the nation the world's fifth strongest military.

The White Revolution (Persian: انقلاب سفید Enqelāb-e Sefid) or the Shah and People Revolution (Persian: انقلاب شاه و مردم Enqelāb-e Shāh o Mardom) was a far-reaching series of reforms resulting in aggressive modernization in Iran launched on 26 January 1963 by the Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, which lasted until 1979. The reforms resulted in greatly redistributing wealth to Iran's working class, explosive economic growth in subsequent decades, rapid urbanization, and deconstructed Iran's feudalist customs. The reforms were characterized by high economic growth rates, major investments in infrastructure, substantial growth in per capita wealth and literacy of Iranians. The economic growth and education advancement arguably paved the way for the Shah's military arms build-up and the establishment of Iran as a major geopolitical power in the Middle East. It consisted of several elements, including land reform, sale of some state-owned factories to finance the land reform, construction of an expanded road, rail, and air network, a number of dam and irrigation projects, the eradication of diseases such as malaria, the encouragement and support of industrial growth, enfranchisement of women, nationalization of forests and pastures, formation of literacy and health corps for rural isolated areas, and institution of profit-sharing schemes for workers in the industry. In the 1960s and 1970s, the Shah sought to develop a more independent foreign policy and established working relationships with the Soviet Union and eastern European nations. In subsequent decades, per capita income for Iranians greatly increased, and oil revenue fueled an enormous increase in state funding for industrial development projects. The White Revolution launched government-subsidized land grants to millions of working-class families and the creation of Iran's Literacy corps who doubled the nations literacy rates. The Shah wanted all Iranian citizens to be able to live an educated and prosperous lifestyle. The bulk of the program was aimed at Iran's peasantry while redistributing the aristocrat landlord class wealth down to working class Iranians. Thus the White Revolution in Iran represented a new attempt to introduce reform from above and preserve traditional power patterns. Through land reform, the essence of the White Revolution, the Shah hoped to ally himself with the peasantry in the countryside, and hoped to sever their ties with the aristocracy in the city. In order to legitimize the White Revolution, the Shah called for a national referendum in early 1963 in which 5,598,711 people voted for the reforms, and 4,115 voted against the reforms, though the referendum was boycotted by the opposition to the Shah. The White Revolution contributed towards the economic and technological advancement of Iran. Mohammad Reza Shah had intended it to be a non-violent regeneration of Iranian society through economic and social reforms, with the ultimate long-term aim of transforming Iran into a global economic and industrial power. The Shah introduced economic concepts such as profit-sharing for workers and initiated massive government-financed heavy industry projects, as well as the nationalization of forests and pastureland. Most important, however, were the land reform programs which saw the traditional landed elites of Iran lose much of their influence and power. Nearly 90% of Iranian sharecroppers became landowners as a result. Socially, the platform granted women more rights and poured money into education, especially in the rural areas. A Literacy Corps was established, which allowed young men to fulfill their compulsory military service by working as village literacy teachers. The White Revolution consisted of 19 elements that were introduced over a period of 16 years, with the first 6 introduced on January 9, 1963, and put to a national referendum on January 26, 1963.

Land Reforms Program and Abolishing "Feudalism": The government bought the land during the Iranian Land Reform from the feudal landlords at what was considered to be a fair price and sold it to the peasants at 30% below the market value, with the loan being payable over 25 years at very low interest rates. This made it possible for 1.5 million peasant families, who had once been little more than slaves, to own the lands that they had been cultivating all their lives. Given that the average size of a peasant family was 5, the land reforms program brought freedom to approximately 9 million people, or 40% of Iran's population.

Nationalization of Forests and Pasturelands: Many measures were introduced, not only to protect the national resources and stop the destruction of forests and pasturelands, but also to further develop and cultivate them. More than 9 million trees were planted in 26 regions, creating 70,000 acres (280 km2) of "green belts" around cities and on the borders of the major highways.

Profit Sharing for industrial workers in private sector enterprises, giving the factory workers and employees 20% share of the net profits of the places where they worked and securing bonuses based on higher productivity or reductions in costs.

Extending the Right to Vote to Women, who previously did not enjoy this right. This measure was criticized by some of the clergy. Formation of the Literacy Corps, so that those who had a high school diploma and were required to serve their country as soldiers could do so by fighting illiteracy in the villages. In 1963 approximately 2/3 of the population was illiterate, with 1/3 found mainly in the capital city of Tehran.

Formation of the Health Corps to extend public health care throughout the villages and rural regions of Iran. In 3 years, almost 4,500 medical groups were trained; nearly 10 million cases were treated by the Corps.

Formation of the Reconstruction and Development Corps to teach the villagers the modern methods and techniques of farming and keeping livestock. Agricultural production between 1964 and 1970 increased by 80% in tonnage and 67% in value.

Formation of the Houses of Equity where 5 village elders would be elected by the villagers, for a period of 3 years, to act as arbitrators in order to help settle minor offences and disputes. By 1977 there were 10,358 Houses of Equity serving over 10 million people living in over 19,000 villages across the country.

Nationalization of all Water Resources, introduction of projects and policies in order to conserve and benefit from Iran's limited water resources. Many dams were constructed and five more were under construction in 1978. A result of these measures was the area of land under irrigation increased from 2 million acres (8,000 km2), in 1968, to 5.6 million in 1977.

Urban and Rural Modernization and Reconstruction with the help of the Reconstruction and Development Corps. Building of public baths, schools and libraries; installing water pumps and power generators for running water and electricity.

Didactic Reforms that improved the quality of education by diversifying the curriculum in order to adapt to the necessities of life in the modern world.

Workers' Right to Own Shares in the Industrial Complexes where they worked by turning industrial units, with 5 years history and over, into public companies, where up to 99% of the shares in the state-owned enterprises and 49% of the shares of the private companies would be offered for sale to the workers of the establishment at first and then to the general public.

Price Stabilization and campaign against unreasonable profiteering (1975). Owners of factories and large chain stores were heavily fined, with some being imprisoned and other's licenses being revoked. Sanctions were imposed on multi-national foreign companies and tons of merchandise stored for speculative purposes were confiscated and sold to consumers at fixed prices.

Free and Compulsory Education and a daily free meal for all children from kindergarten to 14 years of age. Primary schools were built in hundreds of villages that previously did not have one.

In 1978, 25% of Iranians were enrolled in public schools alone. In that same year there were 185,000 students of both sexes studying in Iran's universities. In addition to the above there were over 100,000 students pursuing their studies abroad, of which 50,000 were enrolled in colleges and universities in the United States.

Free Food for Needy Mothers and for all newborn babies up to the age of two.

Introduction of Social Security and National Insurance for all Iranians. The National Insurance system provided for up to 100% of the wages during retirement.

Stable and Reasonable Cost of Renting or Buying of Residential Properties (1977). Controls were placed on land prices and various forms of land speculation.

Introduction of Measures to Fight against Corruption within the bureaucracy. The Imperial Inspection Commission was founded, consisting of representatives from administrative bodies and people of proven integrity.

There was a minor industrial revolution during this period of reform. Port facilities were improved, the Trans-Iranian Railway was expanded, and the main roads connecting Tehran and provincial capitals were asphalted. Many small factories opened up specializing in clothing, food processing, cement, tiles, paper, and home appliances. Larger factories for textiles, machine tools, and car assembly were also opened.[9] Educational institutions also grew after the launching of the White Revolution. Enrollment in kindergarten increased from 13,300 to 221,990, elementary schools from 1,640,000 to 4,080,000, secondary schools from 370,000 to 741,000 and colleges from 24,885 to 145,210. Not only were new schools opening, but they were also instituting new educational policies designed to undercut clerical control over education and religious education. The Literacy Corps also helped raise the literacy rate from 26 to 42 percent. The White Revolution also included certain reforms of women's rights. Women gained the right to vote, to run for elected office and to serve as lawyers and later judges. The marriageable age for women was also raised to fifteen.

Iran experienced explosive economic expansion with an annual economic growth rate averaging at 9.8%. There was a substantial rise in the Iranian middle class with over one million families becoming small business owners and an estimated 700,000 salaried professionals. The large economic growth was later used to fund arms build up by the Shah who spent billions on purchasing foreign weapons establishing Iran as a geopolitical power. The history of the Persian empire was taught as means to make people feel part of Iran. In the textbook for the third year of high school, for instance, the interference of the Zoroastrian clergy in politics caused the defeat of the Sasanian empire by the Muslim armies. Therefore, religious interference in political affairs was taught to be extremely dangerous.

Economically, the White Revolution was very successful. The White Revolution successfully redistributed land to approximately 2.5 million families, established literacy and health corps targeting Iran's rural areas, and resulted in a slew of social and legal reform. In the decades following the revolution, per capita income for Iranians skyrocketed. The rapid rise in Iran's revenues paved the way for increased state spending used to fund major industrial development projects in Iran.

In the 1970s, Iran had an economic growth rate equal to that of South Korea, Turkey and Taiwan, and Western journalists all regularly predicted that Iran would become a First World nation within the next generation. Significantly, a "reverse brain drain" had begun with Iranians who had been educated in the West returning home to take up positions in government and business. The firm of Iran National ran by the Khayami brothers had become by 1978 the largest automobile manufacturer in the Middle East producing 136,000 cars every year while employing 12,000 people in Meshed. One of the Khayami brothers complained if it had not been for the revolution "Iran National would be where the South Korean car industry is today". Mohammad Reza had strong étatist tendencies and was deeply involved in the economy, with his economic policies bearing a strong resemblance to the same étatist policies being pursued simultaneously by General Park Chung-hee in South Korea. Mohammad Reza considered himself to be a socialist, saying he was "more socialist and revolutionary than anyone". Reflecting his self-proclaimed socialist tendencies, although unions were illegal, the Shah brought in labour laws that were "surprising fair to workers". Iran in the 1960s and 70s was a tolerant place for the Jewish minority with one Iranian Jew, David Menasheri, remembering that Mohammad Reza's reign was the "golden age" for Iranian Jews when they were equals, and when the Iranian Jewish community was one of the wealthiest Jewish communities in the world. The Baha'i minority also did well after the bout of persecution in the mid-1950s ended with several Baha'i families rising to prominence in the world of Iranian business.

Under his reign, Iran experienced over a decade of double-digit GDP growth coupled with major investments in military and infrastructure.

The Shah's first economic plan was geared towards large infrastructure projects and improving the agricultural sector which led to the development of many major dams particularly in Karaj, Safīdrūd, and Dez. The next economic plan was directed and characterized by an expansion in the credit and monetary policy of a nation which resulted in a rapid expansion of Iran's private sector, particularly construction. From the period 1955–1959, real gross fixed capital formation in the private sector saw an average annual increase of 39.3%. By 1963, the Shah had begun a redistribution of land offering compensation to landlords valued on previous tax assessments, and the land obtained by the government was then sold on favorable terms to Iranian peasants. 1963–1978 represented the longest period of sustained growth in per capita real income the Iranian economy ever experienced. During the 1963–77 period gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew by an average annual rate of 10.5% with an annual population growth rate of around 2.7% placing Iran as one of the fasted growing economies in the world. Iran's GDP per capita was $170 in 1963 and rose to $2,060 by 1977. The growth was not just a result of increased oil revenues. In fact, the non-oil GDPs grew by an average annual rate of 11.5 percent, which was higher than the average annual rate of growth experienced in oil revenues. By the fifth economic planning, oil GDP rose to 15.3% strongly outpacing growth rates in oil revenue which only saw .5% growth. From 1963 to 1977 the industrial and the service sectors experienced annual growth rates of 15.0 and 14.3 percent, respectively. The manufacturing of cars, television sets, refrigerators, and other household goods increased substantially in Iran. For instance, over the small period of 1969 to 1977, the number of private cars produced in Iran increased steadily from 29,000 to 132,000 and the number of television sets produced rose from 73,000 in 1969 to 352,000 in 1975.

The growth of industrial sectors in Iran led to substantial urbanization of the country. The extent of urbanization rose from 31 percent in 1956 to 49 percent in 1978. By the mid-1970s Iran's national debt was paid off, turning the nation from a debtor to a creditor nation. The balances on the nation’s account for the 1959–78 period actually resulted in a surplus of funds of approximately $15,170 million. The Shah's fifth five-year economic plan sought to achieve a reduction in foreign imports through the use of higher tariffs on consumer goods, preferential bank loans to the industrialists, maintenance of an overvalued rial, and food subsidies in urban areas. These developments led to the development of a new large industrialist class in Iran and the nation’s industrial structure was extremely insulated from threats of foreign competition.

In 1976, Iran saw its largest ever GDP uptick, thanks in large part to the Shah’s economic policies. According to the World Bank, when valued in 2010 dollars, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi improved the country's GDP on a per capita basis to $10,261, the most it ever was at any point in Iran’s history.

According to economist Fereydoun Khavand, “During these 15 years, the average annual growth rate of the country fluctuated above 10%. The total volume of Iran's economy increased nearly fivefold during this period. In contrast, during the past 40 years, Iran's average annual economic growth rate has been only about two percent. Considering the growth rate of Iran's population in the post-revolution period, the average per capita growth rate of Iran in the last 40 years is estimated between zero percent and half a percent. Among the main factors hindering the growth rate in Iran are a lack of a favorable business environment, severe investment weakness, very low levels of productivity, and constant tension in the country’s regional and global relations.”

Many European, American, and Japanese investment firms sought business ventures and to open up headquarters in Iran. According to one American investment banker,

"They are now dependent on Western technology, but what happens when they produce and export steel and copper, when they reduce their agricultural problems? They’ll eat everybody else in the Middle East alive.”

Of course the Shah wasn't an angel, his tyrannical gouvernment heavily suppressed oppositon, but as far as Autocrats go he was one of the better ones.
