UserWiki:IvarsBalodis

This is new the ideology of Wiki and Reddit user, IvarsBalodis (despite the username, he is not Latvian, but rather an American of German, Lithuanian, and Appalachain (Scots-Irish) heritage). It is a left unity,   left-wing nationalist,  cooperative/market socialist, ideology with significant influences from  corporatism, the  guild system (guild socialism) and ( social)  distributism. It sits on the cultural right side of the compass, albeit not extremely so.

[[File:Soc.png]] True Economic Freedom [[File:Demsocstar.png]]
He believes that true economic freedom lies in socialism, which allows workers to democratically control decisions within their professions and workplaces and reduces the power of unconcerned capitalists who do not care for the lives of their workers.

[[File:Vanguardism.png]] Class Vanguardism and Old Leftism [[File:Left-wingCon.png]]
He subscribes to the Old Left, meaning that issues of class and economics should be prioritized over social issues and questions of identity. He believes that leftist movements and leadership of the modern age - the    "New Left" - has been led astray in the pursuit of radical progressive, woke ideology. He sees their attachment to identity politics as being one of the causes of a weakening labor movement in the West, as members of the working class have grown less fond of their hyper-progressive talking points. He doesn't fully oppose working with progressive socialists so long as they put class before identity.

[[File:Corptism.png]] An Organized Economy [[File:Guildsoc.png]]
Building on the previous section, businesses would be organized along lines of position, profession, or industry, with democratic control occurring within each one. Each of these lines of organization would be considered a Guild, harkening back to the medieval guild system used as a framework in the guild socialist economic model. This would avoid the incoherence of a mass democracy among ALL workers within a company or organization, and allow those who are most invested in their trade to be able to have meaningful discussion and collaboration among their likeminded peers. They would democratically decide workplace decisions in place of unbeholden bosses, capitalists, or shareholders, and select a representative to represent their Guild at the Congress of Guildsmen, which would operate in collaboration to direct the economy at a large level. These Guilds would collaborate directly with consumers to ensure production quotas are met and the quality of work performed is satisfied. In turn, this will create a sense of trust among consumers and producers and create a well-organized, efficient, and democratic economy.

[[File:Distributist.png]] Free and Fair Markets [[File:Trustbust.png]]
He supports strong anti-trust laws to prevent companies from growing so powerful as to dominate the market. The same principle will apply to the Guilds to prevent one from gaining too much power and influence over the lesser Guilds. In addition, free enterprise among aspiring entrepreneurs would be encouraged on the small scale, with laws which allow the opportunity to be afforded by as many people as possible. To this end, he is a market socialist, favoring market allocation combined with public, democratic ownership of productive property, while allowing state control over industries which are essential to the well-being of the nation (such as healthcare and transportation).

[[File:Leftnat.png]] Socialist Patriotism [[File:SocialistPatriot.png]]
An avowed patriot and nationalist, he opposes open borders as tools for capitalists and neoliberals to devalue wages in their home countries and undeservingly increase profits. However, he does not support ultranationalism, national supremacy, or jingoism, and absolutely despises imperialism. Patriotism and nationalism must always be proletarian in nature and devoted to anti-imperialist and socialistic causes. He strongly opposes the position held by many Marxist-Leninsts, Maoists, and other "tankies" that mass swathes of land in the US, Canada, and other post-colonial nations must be returned to indigenous peoples (a.k.a. "land back"), seeing that this position would be highly unpopular by almost all citizens of the nation, only appealing to a very small subsect, and would ultimately sow division and opposition to the nation. Instead, he supports social policies aimed at improving the lives of indigenous peoples without taking land from non-indigenous, and giving it to peoples who have been gone for decades, or in some cases, centuries.

[[File:Community.png]] Cohesion of Community [[File:Cultcon.png]]
He wants to create a stable community of like-minded individuals. To that end, he is extremely opposed to multiculturalism, which only serves to weaken societal bonds between individuals and reduces success in collaborative activities, such as unionization. This would be detrimental to the functioning of the Guilds, which is built upon the requirement of successful intra- and inter-professional collaboration. While he doesn't oppose immigration as a concept, he believes that immigration should be reduced to a level that does not result in the unwinding of a nation's culture and immigrants should be required to assimilate into their destination country's culture.

[[File:TradPrgess.png]] New Era Traditionalism [[File:PrgessTrad.png]]
He believes in traditionalism being the preservation of fire, not the worship of ashes. In his view, we should keep traditions which benefit society as a whole, and throw those away that harm it or are moral evils. Traditions should be able to adapt ad hoc and reflect the present realities of the world while still upholding a moral society. On specific issues, he is anti-abortion (except for incest, rape, and severe threat to life of the mother), pro-universal healthcare, anti-euthanasia (except in excruciating circumstances), and anti-capital punishment (except during wartime), supporting a "whole life" approach to society. He believes that drug use and addiction should still be viewed as a societal ill, but treated like a disease rather than a crime. In regards to LGBT people, he has no problems with them, and would not repeal same-sex marriage where it is currently legal. What he does dislike, however, is the hyper-sexualization of LGBT lifestyle, which shows itself in pride parades, drag-queen story-hour, and the BDSM "community". These things should absolutely be shunned by society and disassociated with the gay community. He also opposes pushing LGBT onto societies and countries that are opposed to it and hates "woke imperialists" who advocate for this.

[[File:Laicism.png]] Secular Governance [[File:Atheism.png]]
Church and state should be separated, and religion should be mostly a personal matter. Freedom of religion should still be allowed, but with immoral and inhumane practices being banned. These include kosher and halal slaughter as well as male circumcision of Judaism and Islam. Likewise the myriad of bogus new-age LARPy cults cropping up these days would not be constitutionally protected as religious institutions in his country.

[[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.

[[File:Castro.png]] Cuba [[File:Castro-PCC.png]]
He believes that the Communist Party of Cuba should remain in power, but implement 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.

Personally I find party politics to be divisive and bureaucratic, but there are a few out there I might offer some support to.

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).
