Note: I've removed my ideology icons and pictures as I'm in the process of making new ones, they should be up shortly.

I've been hanging around the PCB and PCBA subreddits and wikis since about November 2020 but didn't start regularly posting here and joining the Discord servers until about almost a year later, in October 2021. You can add me on Discord, but I'm more active on Reddit or this site.

To sum up my beliefs as succinctly as possible, I support a socialist system where the means of production enter worker control through profession-based trade guilds, while supporting a strictly nationalist and progressive-conservative (though really more on the conservative side) cultural outlook. I am also take a materialist perspective to my beliefs as I am more focused on economic leftism combined with nationalism and a certain amount of cultural rightism, and don't care for esoteric and hyper-religious BS at all (however this does not mean that I support CONSUMERIST materialism). On the compass I land in the authoritarian left quadrant, but not extremely authoritarian, leaning close to left unity.

Beliefs
To be rewritten

[[File:Cball-China.png]] China and Taiwan [[File:Cball-Taiwan.png]]
He believes that Taiwan should be granted de jure independence and be recognized internationally, seeing that the  PRC has no legitimate control over the country. However, he fully supports the PRC over Hong Kong and  Tibet and other separatist movements since these areas are legally Chinese. Otherwise he has no strong opinions on China. However I do think they should guaranteed some level of cultural autonomy in order to protect their own languages and traditions.

[[File:Castro.png]] Cuba [[File:Castro-PCC.png]]
He believes that the Communist Party of Cuba should remain in power, but implement some market reforms while maintaining strong state control over vital industries, such as healthcare (seeing as it is one of the biggest shining success stories of Cuba). The embargo should be immediately ended in all forms, seeing it as a pointless measure anyways (well, other than to cause the Cuban people to needlessly suffer in the name of ideological dickwaving).

[[File:Zio.png]] Israel and Palestine [[File:Cball-Palestine.png]]
He fully supports Palestine, seeing that the movement for the establishment of Israel (Zionism) was entirely astroturfed and the Palestinians had no say in the matter. He supports the left-wing Fatah and condemns the religious extremism of Hamas, but understands their frustration at how the Palestinians are treated by Israel.

[[File:Cball-Russia.png]] Russia and Ukraine [[File:Cball-Ukraine.png]]
I cannot in good faith fully support either government. Both Ukraine and Russia have a history of corruption. NATO is an imperialist arm of the United States and former colonial Western European powers, while Putin works at the behest of the plutocratic oligarchs and doesn't give a damn about the Russian working class. I stay with the millions of innocent Ukrainian people who are being attacked by the Russian invasion force, and the Russians who protest this war in Russia proper, as well as the ethnic Russians in Donetsk and Luhansk who want further autonomy. I find solidarity with those suffering from imperialist aggression, not those perpetrating it.

 * [[File:PUNT-Nguema.png]] Francisco Macías Nguema - His policies lead to the emigration or death of over half of his country's population, he violently put down workers who wanted better living conditions, and his anti-medicine views resulted in only 2 doctors remaining in the country at the end of his rule. Truly the worst of the worst of authoritarian left, IMO.

Ideological Progression
---> // ---> // ---> // ---> // Explanation: When I first got into politics, I quickly became a steadfast anti-capitalist while still holding onto the beliefs of liberal democracy and opposition to authoritarian socialism. This was back during Obama's first term so I was also a strong supporter of the Democratic Party at this time. As I grew older I became more socially conservative while moving a bit to the right on economics as well. In early to mid-2019, I discovered third positionism and while reading up on ideologies such as Classical Fascism or Strasserism, I never quite stuck with one specific ideology, though still remaining opposed to racial nationalism. Opposing the large amount of feds, "wignats", and generally vile people infesting the third positionist circles, I have now moved back to the economic left, becoming more socialist and less culturally right-wing (still not culturally left, just prioritizing economics over social issues).

And, as I read more theory, I am becoming somewhat more left on economics, but we'll see how that plays out...

User Relationships
For users, I mainly take into account their ideologies and not their personalities, pretty much everyone I encounter on the wiki and in Discord is a good person imo.

Based

 * ([[File:Social corpratism.png]]/[[File:Patcon.png]]) - Based old leftist and good buddy, I also know you from Reddit and Discord.
 * ([[File:Social corpratism.png]]/[[File:SocDist.png]]) - Another cool user and based old leftist with similar views to Ganyu and myself.
 * ([[File:Natcom.png]]/[[File:Consocf.png]]) - Based national communist and cool person, views are like a more authoritarian version of myself
 * [[File:BmanCrown.png]] Bman ([[File:Tradcon.png]]/[[File:Monsynd.png]]) - Still pretty good, as a conservative socialist, even if we've sort of switched spots in terms of our levels of conservativeness since I've last seen your page.
 * [[File:KaiserKlaus.png]] KaiserKlausMaus ([[File:Socialmon.png]]/[[File:Reactcross.png]]) - Pretty good for a monarchist.
 * ([[File:Natcom.png]]/[[File:Absoc.png]]) - Arab socialism and left-wing nationalism are based!
 * [[File:FabiusEagle.png]] PaleoFabius ([[File:Cfash.png]]/[[File:Nazi.png]]) - Cool guy, and a fascist who respects my ideology.
 * - Pretty based ideology, even though I'm slightly left of you on economics.
 * - Seems like a pretty cool guy. Supports old left ideals even to an extent, so that part is based.
 * [[File:Baconsalad123_Icon.png]] Baconsalad123 - Has great economic views, though I'm not a fan of classical conservatism.
 * - Appears to be a nice user who also has some good economic views while being more progressive than myself.
 * [[File:PATS.png]] Nekoqing - Sounds like a based user and is a fellow old leftist.
 * - I moved you up to based because despite your cringe ideology (and even then you're at least embracing nationalism now vs. a few months ago) you seem like a pretty good person to interact with.
 * [[File:DragonRed.png]] DragonRed - Seems like a good user who has some good ideas regarding the most things. Your ideology kind of seems like a big-tent kind of thing which can be good in some situations (particularly once you obtain power).
 * [[File:Vizantion-Storm.png]] TheHellenicStorm - Good person, I've known you from Reddit for a while. Your current ideology is similar to my former beliefs but now you're more fascistic than myself for sure.

Bringe

 * - Seems nice enough though I'm not really into egoism.
 * - Nice nationalist, but you should move away from economic liberalism (capitalism).
 * - Way too progressivist. But go back to guild socialism and you would be ultra based.
 * [[File:Typicalfan2.png]] Typicalfan4 - Nationalist yes, but also cringe capitalist.
 * [[File:OrthReactPaleominarchist.png]] BasedRussianMikuru ([[File:Orth.png]]/[[File:Feud.png]]) - Seems like a typical reactionary, being strongly traditionalist and while not necessarily being capitalist is still an economic rightist. Not a big fan of that but otherwise I have no strong opinions on you.
 * - ([[File:Ancap-0.png]]/[[File:Panarchy.png]]) - who is unironically sympathetic to feudalism though putting your cringe ideology aside you do seem like a based guy.
 * [[File:S1984.png]] Savvas1984 ([[File:Statlib.png]]/[[File:Leftnat.png]]) - Socialism and nationalism are good but state liberalism is cringe beyond belief.

Cringe

 * ([[File:Socdem.png]]/[[File:Prog.png]]) - Loves to act annoying on anything remotely conservative or nationalistic and isn't even a leftist, just a progressive liberal who likes succdem-style capitalism (which is just the status quo in most of Western Europe).
 * ([[File:Ego.png]]/[[File:Post-an.png]]) - Don't know much about you as a person or your ideology but radical nihilism is pretty cringe.
 * - A step up from your old ideology but that isn't saying much tbh.
 * [[File:HydraismBall.png]] Hydra ([[File:Neonazi_ball.png]]/[[File:PagTheo.png]]) - Least-schizophrenic siegeposter.

Comments
Old comments have been cleared, feel free to make a new one.

- Based as always, I should've taken you more seriously when you said that bloodless revolution was a more viable option than reform,
