Georgism

Georgismball, not to be confused with Geolibertarianismball, is an economically center-right, generally culturally center-left ideology that is typically placed in the lower middle of the political compass.

He believes that there should only be one tax, being the land value tax. He views property rights as only extending to the properties of labor and capital, and since land is neither, it's free real estate. Though his main bit is only having one tax, he sometimes promotes a citizen's dividend and pollution taxes, as a treat.

Overall, his ideology is centered around land & its distribution and his beliefs are often summed up with the phrase (usually in all caps) "landlords don't have rights", though this is somewhat of an exaggeration.

While his views on land rights and natural resource ownership are very collectivist, to combat unjust inequality, most of his other views are liberal and relatively individualistic, focusing on creating efficiency in the economy to create more land value to tax.

His father Physiocracy was quite old and absent when he was born, so he was mostly brought up by his uncle  Classical Liberalism.

Of all his cousins, he's generally on best terms with  Liberalism; but he also tries to keep friendly with  Capitalism and Socialism even though they seldom leave room for his views, especially when they're in the same room together...

Friends

 * [[File: Geolib.png]] Geolibertarianismball - Ah yes, my more uncompromising son; not so fond of our statist left-wing family members.
 * [[File: Angeo.png]] Geo-Anarchismball - Opposes the state even more than his brother. Wait, son, how are you going to tax the land without a state? Nevermind, it's the intention that counts.
 * [[File: Geomut.png]] Geomutualismball - Not sure what you want my dear, but let's be mutually beneficial to each other!
 * [[File: Socgeo.png]] Social Georgismball - Hmhmhm... Should we spend it all on welfare?
 * [[File: Clib.png]] Classical Liberalismball - Taught me Classical Economics and usually supports my views on landlords.
 * [[File: Lib.png]] Liberalismball - He used to promote my ideas; unfortunately only when it suited him.
 * [[File: Envi.png]] Environmentalismball - Polluting and exploiting our natural resources lowers the value of the land, and thus reduces future tax revenue!
 * [[File: Socdem.png]] Social Democracyball - I really think she could be warming up to the idea of a land value tax...
 * [[File: Dsa.png]] Democratic Socialismball - Probably already wants to make land common property.
 * [[File: Neoliberal-icon.png]] Neoliberalismball - Sometimes supports my ideas, in spite of his distorted Neoclassical understanding.
 * [[File: Libertarian.png]] Libertarianball - Thinks LVT is the least bad tax.
 * [[File: Mutalist.png]] Mutualismball - Not sure I understand her, but at least she thinks land shouldn't be a commodity.
 * [[File: Anpacf.png]] Anarcho-Pacifismball - Also wants to achieve radical changes in a peaceful manner, how wholesome!

Frenemies

 * [[File: Mao.png]] Maoismball - Shares opinion on Landlords... It's complicated.
 * [[File: Ormarxf.png]] Marxismball - Hates landlords, but doesn't properly distinguish between land and capital. Also called me [[File: Cap.png]] Capitalismball's last ditch.
 * [[File: AnSynd.png]] Anarcho-Syndicalismball - Extremist, but I like the cat symbol.
 * [[File: Farm.png]] Agrarianismball - Old granny (wrongly) thinks farmland has high land value, and thus generally opposes LVT.

Enemies
