UserWiki:OctoMigration

Octo's currently unnamed political ideology is a libertarian anarchist, economically center-right to right-wing ideology that is essentially Left-Rothbardianism with minor differences.

In terms of the state, Octo knows everything is the government's fault is anarchist, rejecting the state on the grounds that it is immoral, detrimental, and unnecessary. He takes a religious stance  on rejection, and supports  Agorist means of achieving these goals, with one exception: he doesn't reject voting itself, believing it logical to keep the state as non-oppressive as possible while persons are still subjected to it. He believes statism is the biggest threat to liberty and religion, and must be starved to abolition. He is also extremely critical of public education.

In terms of economics, as stated prior, Octo is very pro-markets and essentially identical to Left-Rothbardianism, with few exceptions. The most major of these exceptions are as follows: he believes education would be primarily dominated by homeschooling and the private sector, rather than the latter typically being replaced by more horizontally managed education, and he believes most luxury industries would remain hierarchal in a free market. Other exceptions are currently a work in progress. He is a follower of the Austrian tradition of economics, and is adamantly critical of  Keynesianism in all forms,  MMT, and  Marxism, among others. Like, Left-Rothbardianism, he subscribes to the Neo-Lockean homesteading principle. He is consistently critical of not only the state but its corporate organs, and is a strong supporter of small business, entrepreneurship, and worker cooperatives. He supports credit unions over banking, and also subscribes to Konkin's class theory.

Culturally, he identifies as a progressive traditionalist, generally rejecting the term  'conservative'. The term in essence refers to progressivism, but not at the expense of traditional and religious values. For example, he is environmentalist, supportive of open borders,  interculturalist, and supporter of animal rights—though not particularly radically. Regardless, he is very morally and culturally opposed to sexual liberation, abortion, and pornography, and generally opposed to feminism past the second-wave. He is a strong supporter of the family unit, and believes in bringing more awareness to single parents.

History and political influences
Octo got into politics mid-2019, finding himself supportive of Bull Moose Progressivism and identifying with the Bull Moose movement of the 1910's. Over the course of the next two years or so, he went to being a  Right-Wing Populism, to  Eco-Conservatism (though still retaining right-wing populism), to  Classical Liberalism, to  Green Libertarianism, to  Green Paleolibertarianism, to  Green Minarchism, until June of 2021, when he officially considered himself an  anarchist.

Octo is particularly influenced by figures such as Murray Rothbard,  Benjamin Tucker,  Roderick Long,  Lynsander Spooner,  Stephen R. L. Clark,  Frederic Bastiat,  Ludwig von Mises, et cetera.

Personality and behavior
Octo is generally easy to get along with as he is generally philanthropic, optimistic (yet pragmatic), and joyful.
