Am I A Communist? An Anarchist? A Socialist? A Capitalist? A Fascist? Left Wing Or Right Wing?

I have often been accused of being a Communist or even a Anarchist! The truth is I don’t know what I are and these labels we feel the need to give each other only divide. I believe in people not business not money and definitely not government . But I do believe services like health services, public transport, banks, police, prison service and even media should be in the hands of the government! I just don’t believe the government should function the way it does or be what it is.

The government should not be aristocrats, lords, actors or business men representing their corporate puppet masters. The government should be people, normal people and lots of them. The more people a government has the harder it is to corrupt with money.

These people should work within what they specialize in, in other words doctors with experience in the health service should run the health service, teachers should run the education system, bankers should run banks and so on.

Each department pays its governing body an equal flat rate (no bonuses, because bonuses and targets lead to corruption!) So the governing bodies of banks get paid the same wages per person as governing bodies of the education system, police, public transport health service etc….And all governing bodies should be non profit because businesses would not exist but services do. The government run by the people and voters should also control all food, phone and Internet services and these services should also be non profit services.. The service they provide should cover wages and expenses and nothing else.

How should these governing bodies be formed? Through elections! For example every five years or so they could/should allow experienced police/doctors/bankers etc to hold elections. In these elections they could spread their ideas with equal budgets taken from tax and allow people to decide.

Military should be governed the same way and the military should be unable to declare war without a public vote from a fully informed population.

Tax should also be paid on a equal terms, only one tax should exist and that is income tax. This tax rate would have to be adjusted depending on how much money is needed by the health service, police, transport and all others.

Welfare should also be equal and paid for by taxes and run the same as everything else, by a single governing body that have been elected. Welfare cuts or raises should be voted on by the informed masses.

All people should be given the right to share views, ideas and philosophies online and even through media services provided by the government. Political censorship of any kind should not be allowed and free flowing information would be essential because with political censorship and politically motivated information flow would lead to ignorance and therefore poor decision making from people.

Wages should be capped to about three times the amount of whatever welfare is at, these would stop the rich getting richer but it would also mean the poor do not get poorer.

I believe a fully informed society would not vote for war, welfare cuts, health service cuts unless they genuinely believe it was necessary.

I don’t know what this political ideology actually is so I will name it after myself and call it Haleism, I’m a Haleist! Power to the people and only the people.

Sort:  

I've read your post a bit fast but I think you could say that you're an authoritarian. You believe in that someone can get a right to dominate other people with violence. Or in other words you believe in the myth of authority

Which taste of authoritarianism it is...........I don't know. Haleism could maybe work if you convince enough people....who knows.

I would like to point out that no one should run education, education should be ran by the people looking out for there for their own interest if the neighbor is a smart guy maybe I can pay him a little money to teach my kid, maybe I can teach my kid. As soon as you give one person or a group or even a country to decide how kids should be taught what they should be taught and when... you take away the freedom of choice, I think families should decide for themselves what they want their child to learn, where he learns and how he learns not anyone else. Same goes for healthcare, I should decide who is my doctor I should decide how much I pay my doctor etc.... and for food I should decide how I get my food whether I buy from the neighbor or I grow my own nobody should decide what you eat, or where you get your food. I think the only tax that should not exist is a income tax, why should I give my fruit to someone who didn't do anything to deserve it? just because they can force me at the barrel of a gun? What you are is a slave holder or a collectivist, or anti freedom, you dont like the individual deciding for himself what is best for him, you think the group should decide for everyone which is wrong very immoral.

@wolvoman80 - there are a few false premises in your theory unfortunately.

  1. The "governing body" solutions you proposed are actually quite novel, and could work with some refinement. Unfortunately there is a problem here - not all services out there have the same volume of participation. There are fewer doctors than teachers out there for instance. If all bodies are equal in their pay, then if there are more employees in a given sector, they will get a smaller cut of their economic pies than other sectors.
  2. Wage caps are a disincentive to perform to the best of your ability. Why bother working hard if you won't get any value directly for it?
  3. A fully informed society would require unbiased and unopinionated news, full disclosure, etc. With any state, secrecy is needed to handle corruption.
  4. The source of corruption is power. States are a focal point of power. Ergo, using a state to govern will cause corruption eventually, without exception. This is both a logical and empirical truth throughout history.
