UserWiki:ShadowRaiden

About to do a massive rework of this and my self insert

Hello, I’m ShadowRaiden! You can often find me replacing poor quality infobox images. Ideologically speaking, I’m a democratic socialist, market socialist, national leftist, left-populist, and a progcon.

Overall
I believe in a market based economy where the workers own the means of production through worker co-operatives (in other words, my economic system resembles Market Socialism and  Distributism, especially the latter in countries where socialism has a bad reputation, and possibly a model more resemblant of Corporatism, more specifically Social Corporatism as a transition point from a capitalistic regime

Private or Public?
Big businesses, major industries, and essential services should be public, whereas small and medium enterprises should be private, although they should be encouraged to become worker co-operatives, given benefits if they do although not excessively and there would still be regulations to ensure they don’t exploit government grants, and I wish to switch to a mostly co-op based economy in the long term, even if I’m aware that not all businesses will be co-ops, and that co-ops aren’t perfect, but it’s the most humane business model in my eyes

Housing
Rent should be abolished, and local housing organizations should give subsidized housing. Although part of housing improvement should also be left to the owners of said house and their skills. But for now I would implement a Land Value Tax

Trade Unions
Although more on the positive side, I still see them as a double edged sword. On a positive note, unions can be great for fighting for workers rights and a show of unity, giving the workers better pay and better conditions, but I also acknowledge that some unions can be self serving and corrupt. Most unions should be free to strike, and I believe that unionization is a right, but while I generally support the right to unionize, corrupt unions should be punished

Healthcare
Universal healthcare and free education should be implemented, although multiple options should exist in the form of health insurance co-operatives in the event that one is dissatisfied with the public option. The patients should receive full coverage from the insurance company, although only citizens and permanent residents would be able to get such benefits

Trust-Busting
I believe in strong trust busting. Whenever a company is too big, smaller companies of the same service get left into the dust. In a truly free market, all companies must be given equal opportunity. If a company is too big to fail, then it is too big to exist

Wealth
I’m alright with millionaires existing, provided they got rich through hard work and ethical methods, but not billionaires. It’s impossible to become a billionaire through ethical means, and all are involved in exploitation. A wealth cap of no more than 100 million should exist, and billionaires should have all their money redistributed, and charged for their crimes.

Banks
Banking should exist in the form of local credit unions and cooperatively owned banks, as a good form of collectivism and power to the people, as well as mutual support during financial crises

Overall
I’m a prog-con and see it as the only sensible cultural system, even if I have leanings depending on region.

Culturally Right Stances: Anti-Abortion unless the mother is in danger, Anti-Porn/Prostitution, wishing to follow the Nordic Model Approach, Immigrants must learn the national culture

Culturally Center Stances: Accepting LGBT individuals for who they are and opposing hating them just for that, but opposing pride culture/flamboyance and having traditional views on marriage, but generally leaving it to personal agreements

Culturally Left Stances: Fixing problems that minorities face (no white guilt though), strongly secular, native minorities should not have to integrate, only adopt the national identity as well as native languages being co-official in said municipality where it’s prominent, colorblindness in general

Abortion
As mentioned earlier, I am vehemently anti-abortion, believing that it violates the right of life for those who did nothing wrong. For me, the only time that abortion should be legal is when the mother will be harmed from giving birth in some way or another. As for cases of rape/incest, as bad as they are, the baby must not be punished for the father’s crimes, although the father would have no custody whatsoever in such cases. That said though there should be wide access to contraception, as well as social programs to help mothers and families giving birth

Race
All races are created equal, and any advantages or disadvantages are a result of environment and material conditions

LGBT
I oppose hate against people on the sole basis of being LGBT, believing that they too are human and deserve respect, but also oppose pride culture/flamboyance, seeing those who do such as narcissists, and have traditional views on marriage, although I won’t legally repeal it where it’s already recognized but aim to promote traditional marriage in the cultural sense. One should be free to live peacefully with the one they love as long as they don’t force it onto others, though a child needs both a mother and father figure. As for trans issues one must be 18+ to transition and there will be a tight vetting processes to ensure that any dysphoria is genuine.

Porn
Pornography and prostitution should be outlawed, however I would initially take the Nordic Model approach in countries where it’s an issue, criminalizing buyers and helping those in such industries escape, and once it’s at an acceptable rate, full criminalization of such industries would be implemented. This is one of the few exceptions to my views on free speech in non-emergency situations

Drugs
For drugs, hard ones would have possession decriminalized, but sale criminalized. Whether the same would apply to marijuana or not would apply to the states

Environment
I am a staunch environmentalist as well, and aim for a carbon neutral world and promoting renewable energy, in addition to restoring destroyed habitats or possibly even de-extinction of most species

Immigration and Culture
I support interculturalism as an alternative to multiculturalism and monoculturalism, because of how multiculturalism focuses too much on differences, and how monoculturalism can be hateful towards those that want to move to and improve our great nation. I lean more towards multiculturalism for native minorities (only needing to adopt the national identity), but more towards assimilation towards immigrants (must learn the national culture)
 * as for immigration, I believe we should ease the legal process while tackling illegal immigration, and for refugees, we should generally only accept them if we are the nearest safe country, and give them permits (although we may allow a limited number from countries where we aren’t the closest). After that, they would be given the option to 1: return home as soon as it’s safe in their home country, or 2: integrate into the national culture

Gun Rights
A citizen should have the right to bear arms, however background checks and mental health checkups are needed

Overall
While I support restricted trade with other nations, I oppose ideological backing and military alliances. I am skeptical of alliances especially military, and I am anti-NATO and anti-EU, although also opposing Russia and China even if they’re lesser evils. We should lift most if not all sanctions placed on other nations and we should only intervene if it is the result of something that directly impacts us at home (ex: 9/11), and I believe in putting the homeland first and foremost, but also maintain decent relations with all nations and cooperate where it matters (ex; climate change)

West Or East?
Although I have a very slight leaning towards the east and see their hegemony as the lesser evil, both sides are pretty bad and neither deserve a hegemony of any form, though the west has been worse abroad

And to those of you from NATO aligned countries that support NATO: Even if NATO didn’t destroy your country specifically, you can look at a nearby country that has been impacted by them and realize that it isn’t a good idea to be supporting NATO. Such a history is why more countries have been turning to the east

Afghanistan
The Islamic Emirate is undoubtedly bad, but the previous government was also terrible. If only the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan never fell

Armenia and Azerbaijan
Artsakh is Armenia and Azerbaijan (and by extention, Turkey) should accept that the Armenian Genocide happened. However I am convinced that the Khojaly Massacre also happened and Armenia should apologize for such.

Belarus
Lukashenko is bad but there’s no way in hell I’m supporting a pro-EU color revolution. For me there should be an actual government of the left that is non aligned

China
Taiwan is independent because of how problems would occur if annexation by either side occurs, but everything else belongs to the PRC. While I support federalization for the cases of Tibet and Xinjiang (and China should stop their human rights abuses in the latter but still counter terrorism), Hong Kong was a city stolen by the British, so there’s ultimately no reason for them to have autonomy (and btw those that wave the British flag are national traitors). Hong Kong should either be incorporated into Guangdong Province or have a status similar to that of Beijing or Shanghai. One Country Two Systems and HK being separate in general is a product of European imperialism and should be abolished

That said though, I’m still pretty critical of the PRC (although I see some things against them as overexaggerated, but still bad nonetheless), even if they’re the legitimate government of China, sure they also have their accomplishments as well but they aren’t truly proletarian;while market reforms are good, lack of co-ops, friendly to billionaires both at home and abroad, out of pocket payment for healthcare are why it is just another state capitalist nation (even if authoritarianism is needed but they go too far recently)

Europe
I’m against the EU. Don’t get me wrong, I’m alright with the concept of the EU, but am against the globalist, ideological dickwaving, and debt trapping path it is on. Russia is bad but the EU is worse, at least if not for the invasion of Ukraine. Likewise, even if I dislike the governments of Hungary and Belarus, I see them as lesser evils compared to the EU, and by a lot. Nations should be free to do what they want without the EU intervening. At least the two + Poland (all of whom have been targeted by the EU) don’t want to force countries to submit to them??? Ofc I’m aware that some Euroskeptics are problematic (ex: AfD in Germany), but I’m for sure against the EU

Korea
No way I’m supporting either country. North Korea is a totalitarian, dystopic, state socialist hellhole, and a Chinese/Russian asset, whereas South Korea is a country with awful working conditions (their current president wants to abolish the minimum wage and admires Milton Friedman btw) and a western asset. For me, the people of Korea must rise up against both forces, albeit maintain decent relations with both blocs and be non-aligned

Georgia
Whether Abkhazia or South Ossetia should be independent or a part of Georgia but given high autonomy should be decided in a referendum

“Israel” and Palestine
While I’m not against Israel’s mere existence, their actions are unacceptable. There should either be a Singapore-esque model in Israel, or a 2 state solution in which Palestine is a condominium, Israel abandons Zionism in favor of a different Jewish patriot ideology, and Palestine purges Hamas and other Islamic extremists

Cyprus
The TRNC is nothing more than a failed Turkish puppet state, there should be a polycultural system as well as a Brotherhood and Unity-esque system

Somaliland
Somaliland is independent and far more prosperous than Somalia. If Somalia changes for the better, Somaliland should join. Otherwise they’re better off independent

Syria
I support Rojava in Kurdistan, and think that Kurdistan should be independent, but I support Assad in the rest of Syria

Ukraine
Whether Crimea, Donetsk, and Lugansk should be Russian or Ukrainian should be decided in a referendum, but Russia is to leave Ukraine alone afterwards and I certainly oppose the war. This is rather idealistic though so a more realistic solution would be to give Crimea to Russia but give Donbass to Ukraine, with high cultural autonomy. But Ukraine is also to stay out of NATO and the EU. That being said though I wholeheartedly oppose the invasion and believe that Ukraine has a right to defend itself, but they are still way overglorified

USA
We should pull our troops out of other countries, although wisely and not to a point where it causes a power vacuum (and we should negotiate and use diplomacy in cases where such is possible), and end interventions. We should also increase cooperation and improve relations with countries which we have less than desirable relations with (yes even if I dislike their government) to strive for a more peaceful world. In addition most if not virtually all sanctions and embargoes should be lifted. But generally speaking I am rather isolationist wanting to prioritize our nation first and not play a huge role on the global scale, but also wanting to maintain peaceful and decent relations with all countries, and work with other countries where necessary (ex: fighting climate change), and not get involved in internal affairs of other countries, likewise I support disbanding or at least leaving NATO

Government
I believe in a federal, direct democratic system where all citizens 16+ have a say in local affairs (but 18+ for national). I believe in local popular, nonpartisan assemblies, in addition to how partisanism should only be on the national and maybe state level. There should be a multiparty system in addition to ranked choice voting, a multi-party system, and proportional representation. However partisan politics will only be on the national and, too a lesser extent, provincial level

I see representative democracy as a farce, as it is individualistic and people don’t directly make their decisions. Direct participatory democracy meanwhile is a collective, truly democratic solution

Countries Where Authoritarianism Is Needed
Such a model would be a form of Authoritarian Democracy, there would be a strong developmentalist leader, but have them still be held accountable by a parliament, elected by only a well educated section of the population.

The franchise should be limited, and protests banned, but it should still be a thoroughly constitutional system.

Any country at war

Any country undergoing a threat of invasion

Most of Africa

Most of the Middle East

India

Pakistan

Myanmar

China

Reform or Revolution
In most cases, reformism is, at best, concessions given to prevent most changes. Ofc I’m not going to advocate for bloodshed, but to me, bloodless revolution, mainly in the form of mass disobedience, strikes, and in most severe of cases, coups, is needed

Positive
Market Socialism and Distributism - my ideologies

Social Georgism - LVT and leftist economics? Based! Sun Yat-sen, Jeremy Corbyn, and Joshua Nkomo are also based

Progressive Conservatism - the only sensible cultural ideology

Left-Wing Populism - for the people!

Left-Wing Nationalism - death to the globalist bourgeois, for the nation and the working class!

Regional
African Socialism and Arab Socialism - death to the oppressors!

Titoism - not as based as I once thought, but still based

Positive Leaning
Paternalistic Conservatism - decent and I like Poland and Khama, but again, too moderate economically speaking. Good transition system though

Libertarian Socialism - fellow supporter of liberty and socialism, although too extreme. And most of you in the west are libs. Still overall based though

Isolationism - our country is to come first and what others do is not our business. And I would dissolve and leave all military and economic alliances if I gained power. But diplomatic relations and cooperation are still good

Regional
Gaddafism - for all your faults, you were overall a positive force for Libya. If only you weren’t overthrown. The Green Book is also something I’m interested in. Sadly Obama, Hitlary Klanton, and their backed rebels had to oust you

Castroism - same as above, keep resisting! Wish you could drop the excess regulationism and excess authoritarianism though (the latter is still somewhat necessary seeing who’s at your doorstep but you go too far), but the embargo is a far bigger cause of Cuba’s suffering. Also glad to see you made some market reforms allowing non-state owned co-ops and enterprises to flourish

Chavismo - same as above. For all his faults, Chavez was decent. Maduro on the other hand is a complete and total dumbass

Neutral
Social Democracy and Keynesianism - were good back then, antiquated nowadays and too soft and compromised

Social Liberalism and Social Capitalism - same as above but even worse

Classical Liberalism - again, was good, antiquated nowadays

Conservatism - can be good for maintaining traditions and preserving old glory, but some traditions also have to go

Progressivism - we should advance as a society and I acknowledge that some traditions are harmful, but the good ones must be kept

Regional
Indigenism - in some countries you’re based. For the case of America, I believe that indigenous areas should be given a greater degree of self governance, want to improve their lives and socioeconomic conditions, and believe that native minorities shouldn’t need to integrate, but merely adopt the national identity and patriotism, I oppose movements like Landback and generally see such reclamations as unfeasible

Negative Leaning
Marxism-Leninism - while I credit you for improving women’s rights, healthcare, education, and ousting rightoids, still too far left and regulated

Social Capitalism, Social Liberalism, Keynesianism, and Social Democracy (nowadays) - you are only going to give us some milquetoast welfare programs and generally are way too soft. Also for the last time, reform doesn’t work. Both your economics and how Bernie (someone I like) lost the primary to Hitlary Klanton, in addition to how Corbyn gets screwed over by the Labour Party constantly proves that

Classical Liberalism (nowadays) - terrible economics and also an antiquated ideology as mentioned earlier. You did your service but you have to go now

Negative
Capitalism - an economy based on greed and exploitation. The true free market is Distributism and Market Socialism, end of story.

Right-Libertarianism - no. Just no. Laissez faire and extreme civic libertarianism is cringe. Free speech and pro-gun is based but that’s it

Revolutionary Progressivism and Reactionarism - you’re literally the same shit just focused on different identities.

Ultranationalism - I love my nation, and believe that a good citizen must be patriotic, but am not psychotic about it

Regional
Neoconservatism, Neoliberalism, and Third Way - Democrats and Republicans agreeing on which third world nation to vaporize:

Zionism - I’m not against the concept of a Jewish state or Jewish patriotism, but what Israel is doing is unacceptable.

Dengism - I can credit China for a few things, namely eradicating extreme poverty, development, and standing up to liberal decadence, but that’s it. While I get that China needs a strong government due to it’s massive population, you go beyond what’s necessary, your human rights abuses are bad, and you aren’t a truly proletarian state.

User Relations
NOTE: I am not adding an enemy section and quite frankly I think they should be banned to minimize drama

Friends
- great friend and very based ideology

Nekoqing - another great friend and his ideology is basically a more extreme version of myself

- same as DNY

Sykar - meh to cringe ideology, but great person. Fellow Raiden enjoyer it seems

Immorxius - meh-basedish ideology, great person

IvarsBalodis - great friend and we share very similar beliefs even if more left than myself

Apple - kinda based ideology, cool person

- basedish ideology and cool guy

TDRH - meh ideology (too economically moderate and I may be slightly more culturally right and auth than you) but cool person

SamKibGuy - cool ideology and person, even if further left and more progressive than myself

Friends but ideologically cringe
NazBolGANG12 - way too culturally right but cool person

- same as above

- NazCap is cringe but cool person

- way too socially progressive and pro-west, and not left enough on economics, but glad we can renew relations

Idk you but you seem cool
Anglo-germanic socialist - relations have yet to develop but you seen cool and your ideology is rather based

Cheebow8 - you seem like a cool person and fellow pro-lifer, but overall cringe ideology

League of Nationsball - your ideology seems based albeit too extreme, and you seem cool

North America
American Solidarity Party - my only complaint is that you are a bit too moderate economically, otherwise you’re everything I like.

New Democratic Party (kinda) - not really good but the best that Canada has to offer

Morena - Cardenismo, leftpop/leftnat, and non-interventionist? Based

Zapatista Army of National Liberation - I gained several inspirations from you, and also based fighting for indigenous rights and against neoliberals

Communist Party of Cuba - for all it’s faults, it improved Cuba. Keep resisting US imperialism! Viva Cuba!

National Unity of Hope - the president from that party, Alvaro Colom, improved living conditions in Guatemala

Liberty and Refoundation - Manuel Zelaya improved Honduras

Sandinista Renovation Movement - the FSLN is good but Ortega ruined it. Left-wing nationalism is also based

Democratic Revolutionary Party - improved Panama

South America
United Socialist Party of Venezuela (somewhat) - under Chavez, you were good but flaws, even if sanctions play just as much if not a bigger role for a poor economy, but Maduro is retarded and should be ousted from within

Europe
Sinn Fein - while too culturally left and too cuddly towards the EU, this is still an overall based party, with it’s democracy, socialism, and Irish nationalism

Labour Factions - Labour overall is cringe, however not all of it is:


 * [[File:Corbynism-ball.png]] Corbynites - too culturally left, but still overall one of the best Britain has to offer, and democratic socialism is based. Beat the neolibtards in the Conservative Party, as well as the Blairites!


 * [[File:Patcon.png]] Blue Labour - another based faction of Labour, could shift slightly left economically, but still overall a force of good in Britain.


 * [[File:Onenatlab.png]] One-Nation Labour (somewhat) - the above but not as good

Law and Justice - too culturally right and pro-NATO, otherwise based

Asia and the Pacific
Japanese Communist Party - further left than myself, but still overall based

Progressive Party - same as above

Democratic Labor Party - too economically moderate and I hate how you tend to have your voters choose Liberal as a 2nd option, but overall not bad

Comments
Cleared them because they were a mess -


 * cool alt flag
 * thanks, and it is also the flag of a hypothetical nation state of mine -

- Just coming here to ask if you are willing to restart relations with me now on your user page, considering this has since drama is behind us, I think it would be good to start on a fresh slate

- yeah, I’m willing to restart, will you do the same?

- Yeah, that's what I came here for, please and thanks.


 * Well the Hong Kong Protesters just want their negative liberties.
 * As mentioned in a different section of my page, China simply isn’t meant for democracy and they always used authoritarianism because of their massive population, although China also needs to take a few steps back in that respect. As well as the fact that Hong Kong being separated is a legacy of British imperialism, so One Country Two Systems should ultimately be abolished. Keep in mind that I still oppose the PRC and don’t see then as a truly proletarian state and oppose their human rights abuses even if I also think that HK should be absorbed into the mainland -
