e-deologies IV, 2023
hyper-specific political labels
E-deology is an internet slang term used to describe complex ideological labels. These hyper-specific categories serve as a gamified form of identity play and niche personal branding in the chaotic landscape of online politics.
Anarcho-Transhumanist Solarpunk
Radical life extension and morphological freedom flourish within a sustainable, post-capitalist future. Science, nature and communal space are intertwined through avant garde architectural forms and renewable energy. Follow @thejaymo to read more.
New Federal State of China
A political movement and lobby group created by Steven Bannon and Guo Wengui with the stated aim of overthrowing the Chinese Communist Party. The group was founded in 2020 and has since staged IRL protests in the US, South Korea, Canada, Australia and more.
Anarcho-Pacifist Egoism
Max Stirner (center) is a post-Hegelian philosopher whose work addresses social alienation from a radical anarchist perspective. Pacificist white, Egoist teal and Anarchist black represent a stateless and non-violent society where individuals pursue their own egoistic goals outside conventional notions of legality or property.
Austro-Libertarian Distributism
lol okay, so there is always one of these in every bunch. Distributism is a political philosophy that rejects lassiez-faire capitalism AND state socialism. Distributists believe that the economy functions best when all citizens have their own small holdings of private property and are largely self-sufficient and/or members of cooperatives. Meanwhile, Austrian economics is a deeply individualist libertarian philosophy that seeks to minimize (or abolish) the state and to radically expand the free market. So my best guess is that this guy wants the state to divide up land and property into individual allotments for small business owners… and then go full ancap to see what happens? You see a lot of online libertarian types make the argument that free markets would *actually* work perfectly if we just reset and leveled out property from the start.
Traditional Slavic Agrarianism
A neo-paganist, autarkic society subsists through local farming, time honored tradition and familial stewardship of the land. The Nemiza (center) represents the Slavic god of misery who brings death but also delivers reincarnated souls to new life.
Young Americans for Liberty
A student activist organization promoting libertarian, classical liberal and conservative ideology. Headquartered in Austin, Texas, the YAL has active chapters in high schools and college campuses across the United States. This flag was used in the promotional materials and set design for their annual conference, “Revolution 2022”, in Orlando, Florida with speakers Ron Paul, Tulsi Gabbard and others.
Christian Nationalism
Recently popularized by conservative figures like Andrew Torba, founder of the conservative social media platform Gab, and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Christian Nationalism understands the United States as an essentially Christian country in its founding and history. Christian Nationalists seek to restrict immigration and to end the separation of church and state. Similar groups exist in Canada, Finland, Russia, Scotland and more.
Arab Communism
A utopian political ideology that builds on the already existing label of “Arab Socialism”, associated with Ba’athism in Iraq and Syria. These previous political experiments rejected internationalism in favor of a dictatorial one-party state. Instead, Arab Communism seeks a national liberation struggle, lead by organized workers, that preserves pan-Arab culture while overthrowing imperialism and class society.
