Eco-Socialism

Eco-Socialism (shortened to EcoSoc) is an environmentalist,  economically left-wing and otherwise varied ideology. He believes that the reduction of CO2 emissions and socialist-style economically are complementary as pollution is the result of mainly Capitalist commodity production as EcoSoc claims.

It is very close to Socialism economically, but more varied in other ways. It believes that Capitalism will destroy the planet and that we need to have a revolution. Unlike Eco-Fascism, it believes all people should be treated equally. But it also believes in extreme environmentalism.

Economics
Eco-Socialism believes in the abolition of Capitalism, in the belief that it puts profits over the environment, and the establishment of a socialist economy that's environmentally sensitive and sustainable. It can be anywhere from centrally planned and  coop.

Civics
Eco-Socialism is, most of the time, found around the left centre of the political compass; around the centre of the civic axis on the left. But this may not always be the case.

Some Eco-Socialists may have more authoritarian views, while others may be more  libertarian in their politics. Largely depends on who you ask.

Culture
Exactly the same as the civics of Eco-Socialism, their cultural values could vary. While most people on the left, including Eco-Socialists, are generally progressive, you could, from time to time, run into people who are more  conservative or  traditional.

[[File:GreensUS.png]] American Greenism
American Greenism is an ideology based on the ideals of the Green Party of the United States and its presidential candidates being Howie Hawkins, Jill Stein, Cynthia McKinney, David Cobb and Ralph Nader. Its ideals are based on the rejection of Capitalism and  State Socialism, based on  Bookchin Communalism, Ecological Socialism and Economic Mutualism, with state companies dominating various sectors in a democratic way and with small private sector companies, many considering themselves Libertarian Socialists. They also preach a "Green New Deal", which would be for a transition to 100% green energy along with a carbon tax, in addition to others, including increased jobs, health care and free college.

Other things would be strong opposition to privatization, reparations to African Americans, banning private prisons, support to Palestinians, access to medical treatment for transgender people, legalization of marijuana, US entry into the International Criminal Court, banning the  Confederate flag in government buildings, repeal of three strike laws, end of death penalty, interruption of foreign aid to Anti-LGBT countries, Multiculturalism, ban on arms sales to foreign countries, support for Feminism, support for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement and that the United States sign the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty, the Iran nuclear deal, and the Non-Proliferation Treaty.

[[File:Corbynism-ball.png]] Corbynism
Corbynism is based on the political positions of British MP Jeremy Corbyn, who was also a former leader of the opposition, former leader of the Labour Party and former chairman of the Stop the War Coalition, also responsible for a  left-wing political fandom called "Corbynmania". He has already stated in an interview that he read Marx a lot, but not that much and some consider him "far left". Its ideals are based on protecting the environment in a "spiritual" way, with strong regulation of the environment and an economy against private investment, salary of 10 pounds an hour, nationalization and re-nationalization of private companies, increased public spending to £500bn, rising inflation, subsidizing regional development, recovering losses from tax evasion and reducing tax benefits by around £93bn.

Other positions could be Republicanism (personally, does not want to actually remove it), legalization of abortion, opposition to the Anglo-Irish Agreement, being in favor of a united Ireland, opposition to Separatism in Scotland, same-sex marriage, making protesting outside the abortion clinic a criminal offense, end of tuition fees in education, a lite  Eurocesptism, as he has praised the EU a few times. One of the best known positions is his pacifism, in which he is in favor of nuclear disarmament and the end of NATO, because according to him the end of the Warsaw pact would be the reason for this, he also opposes the invasion of Iraq and blames NATO for the Russian invasion of Ukraine. He supports Palestine and has even talked to members of Hamas and Hezbollah, he is also against Kosovo, against the Tamil Tigers, in favor of sanctions against Iran, joint administration in the  Falkland Islands, in favor of the autonomy of the Chagos Islands and the  Kurdish people in Iraq and Iran, support for  Fidel Castro in  Cuba, Hugo Chavez in Venezuela and Cristina Kirchner in  Argentina. He has also been accused of anti-Semitism.
