Hello, I’m GeneralGanyu!

Economics
Both free-market capitalism and  state socialism are death traps. The former for being based on greed and the latter for mass collectivization.

I lean more towards market economics, mainly that of social market economics. I believe that the market can bring innovation and development, although it must be regulated in order to benefit the many and to protect consumers, in addition to not forcing people to buy something for more than it’s actually worth.

That being said though, planning will still exist, mainly on a decentralized scale, although the central government will also play a role. This is for 2 reasons: 1. Not everything, especially big businesses, major industries, and public transportation, can be left to the private sector, and 2. It’s decentralized so if a failure occurs, it effects less of the country.

I support the guild system, as a way of class collaboration and a group of workers (and the owners) to make demands if something is insufficient. That being said though I can understand some negatives that can come out of such, mainly said guilds or unions becoming self serving (but lets face it the upper class is worse in most if not all regards)

I oppose free trade and autarky. For me, protectionism is needed, with low tariffs as well.

There will be public options for healthcare and education, however, private options may exist ad well, provided that they’re covered by the state. That being said though there are criteria that all must follow (ex: hospitals can’t give abortions and must sell prescription drugs at a set price, and schools must follow a certain curriculum), and they must be more co-operative than competitive because in the end the goal is to help and teach our people.

Energy will be public, and private companies are not allowed to profit off of energy supply. I aim to 1. Make energy more widespread and accessible, and 2. Begin a switch to green energy, that all energy companies are required to take part in.

Social
To me, “progressive” and “conservative” are arbitrary terms, and it all depends on material condition. For example, I’d be considered culturally right for the standards of the west, and  culturally left for the standards of the third world, although I take aspects from both regardless.

Regarding race, I believe that all races should be equal under the law, and believe that both racial guilt and supremacy are bad.

For example, whites founded the American nation and they had better technology and were stronger overall, and should be hailed for that (however I believe that it has to do with societal reasons rather than racial ones). That being said though I have no issues with other races and see them as equal, but the point of whites being the founders still stands and I most certainly oppose white guilt (or any kind of guilt for that matter), and believe we should look towards the future instead of being stuck in the past in terms of events. For me, reparations and guilt are completely unfeasible, and that actions (primarily improving the lives of blacks and natives by improving infrastructure and living conditions) is more important, as actions speak more than words or money. Also I’d say the same for any other country, regardless of race, that said race are the founders of the nation. But that aside, people should be seen not for their color of their skin, but for the content of their character.

For religion, I believe in the freedom of religious practice, and support a secular government, however parts of religion should serve as a base guideline of what’s right and wrong
