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

Hello, I’m GeneralGanyu!

Economic
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

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

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

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

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

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. these sick fucks in particular should pay for their crimes

Social
I’m a prog-con and see it as the only sensible cultural system, even if I have leanings depending on region. For example, I strongly believe in racial and gender equality, which is a culturally left take. I don’t hate LGBT individuals provided that they aren’t flamboyant about such, and although I personally support traditional marriage and seek to promote such, I’ll leave that issue to the states, that could count as a culturally center take. And a culturally right take of mine is how I am strictly anti-abortion, thinking it should only be allowed if the mother will be at risk from giving birth. But abortion will NOT be left to the states, there should be a nationwide ban. These are just some examples and I’ll show more examples later

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.

In addition, despite me strongly supporting racial equality and wanting to fix problems that African-Americans and Native Americans currently face, I oppose reparations and see them as unfeasible, and that moving towards a brighter future is the better way to go.

As mentioned, although I tend to lean conservative on such issues, a lot of LGBT related issues will be left to the states. However there are still guidelines that all areas must follow regardless (ex: it can’t be criminalized even in the most conservative areas, it can’t be taught in schools and rather tight restrictions on pride parades exist even in the most progressive areas).

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

Hard drugs would be criminalized entirely, and marijuana would be left to the states

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

I oppose multiculturalism, and want immigrants to learn the national culture. However, they may still practice their native culture. Note that this primarily applies to immigrants although native minorities would also be encouraged to take part in such, although not necessarily required, unless they make a sizable chunk of the population

Foreign
While I support restricted trade with other nations, I oppose ideological backing and military alliances

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, but everything else belongs to the PRC. While I support federalization for the cases of Tibet and Xinjiang, 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 traitors. That’s like if a Jew was waving a Nazi flag. I get that they are too young to know the oppression the Brits have done but it still happened and they should learn from the older generations)

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
Fully support Palestine. Israel is an apartheid state and should be countered. Although I oppose Hamas

Cyprus
The TRNC is nothing more than a failed Turkish puppet state

Somaliland
Somaliland is independent and far more prosperous than Somalia

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

Government
I believe in a federal, direct democratic system where all citizens 16+ have a say in local affairs (but 18+ for national)

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

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

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

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

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.

Regional
Neoconservatism and Neoliberalism - STOP THE POINTLESS WARS AND “FREE MARKET” ECONOMIC LIBERALISM!

Third Way - liking welfare doesn’t make you any better than the two above.

DragonRed Allow abortion. If you ban it, they'll have illegal abortions and mutilate themselves. Besides, there is no such thing as Arkstath. That's Karabakh. And Azerbaijani land. Those lands were stolen by Armenia. They expect him to apologize to us about the Armenian genocide. I think I'm not in favor of him ever apologizing. I don't think there is anything wrong. The one who throws the first stone should apologize. We don't need to apologize.

• For the first part, I understand your concerns. However, I still wish to provide welfare and assistance to pregnant mothers, I believe that banning contraception is also a bad move and contraception should be available, as life starts at conception, not before, and I support comprehensive sex education to reduce unwanted pregnancies. As for the second part, I will have to look more into the Karabakh part, although I still see the mass killings and deportations of Armenians as purely unjustified - You’re kind of like a more left-wing version of me. - TDRH
