Although most people say the political philosophy of Nasar is rather out of their scope. I mostly think that my philosophy aligns with Anarchism more than anything. To simplify this, we can use the political compass to better represent my ideology. A political compass is quite a nice tool to summarize the political ideology of a person. Although, it is much more complicated in the real world a political compass is a nice way to graphically represent where someone stands politically.
While I can stand anywhere at the bottom of the political compass as I have no problem with individual or collective ownership of assets, I do tend to stay a bit more central on the topic with more inclining toward collective ownership but in a way that no one would accept it. One thing for certain is I am absolutely an anti-authoritarian and despise any form of government. However, these are quite idealistic precincts and might be hard to achieve in today’s time.
Need for Alternative to Representative Democracy
Hence, come in the alternative to current representative democracy, whether a constitutional republic or a democratic majority system, both are flawed in many ways. It enforces the minority to submit to the will of the majority. This can cause the prosecution of minorities or casual discriminatory practices that they must face in daily life. This also enables the segregation of communities based on their ideological beliefs that may differ from the majority. In short, there is no good in what the current representative democratic system holds. Even in constitutional republics, the problem occurs when a single person is representing the public on multiple issues in which case most people might not agree with this representative on all the topics in question.
Better Alternatives to Current Representative Democracy
Now that we have established democracy is also bad even in the most libertarian formats that exist in the world as of now, we can move to the next topic. In my opinion, the only way government will be acceptable to me is first, it should be a totally voluntary concept. If the people decide tomorrow that they have nothing to do with the person running the government, it should be considered totally okay.
And therefore, I suggest a traditional tribal system of government can be in the place where taxation and lending support to higher hierarchy should be totally voluntary. A bunch of people that can agree on everything can come together to form a commune and multiple commune leaders can come together to form a higher hierarchy and so on. Each hierarchy should be self-determinant and allowed to merge or remain free from a greater hierarchy without any repercussion. This is somewhat anarchist but still has a hierarchy which unfortunately our global population is addicted to. However, to be clear this in my mind is the last resort the priority always being an absence of Government.
Capitalist Collaborative Economic System
The second prominent factor which is always discussed is the economic system. Well, this is where it gets very complicated for me. Because as highlighted before I don’t like regulatory bodies or hierarchies in the system. I believe in a rather collaborative economy because that helps in cutting down the hierarchies that can exist in the case of individually owned corporations. And without the existence of corporations, mass production can be a huge problem even if the mass production was only to cover community needs it will still need the existence of a small business. So how do I suggest solving this issue? Well, it’s quite complicated so bear with me. I think a person who is supposed to serve in a corporation must be paid a fair share of wage but that will mean a person working in a corporation also takes the same proportion of risk when taking a job if there is a loss to the company.
Let’s look at an example, Martin starts a company that owns a farm and produces milk and meat. I like his idea and decide okay I want to work there now I have two options either I let Martin take all the risk associated with business and get paid a minor amount of money for my services as a private contractor or I buy stakes in Martins company. If I buy stakes in his company, I can get the profit out of the company every time the company makes a profit. In case of a loss obviously, I will be inclined to cover for the loss just as much as Martin based on the proportion of share each of us hold. I like the second idea better because not only does it reward properly but it decreases disparity and inequality of wage gap that in other cases can be prevalent and be dictated by the sole owner of the stakes.
Social Policy
The third and last part is the social policy, I believe every human being is equal and should be given equal opportunity to survive on the planet. But things like UBI, and free healthcare, are a burden on those who fend for a living. Money doesn’t really grow on trees and nothing in this world is for free, someone must pay for it. A lot of professionals I know do voluntary work in their free time and personally, I do that too hence, I in no way support any compulsion for anyone to support the needs of others, other than the voluntary support someone would like to give to others. In addition, Religion has no place to be imposed on someone and neither does culture and that is one problem that can be solved with both anarchy or a bottom-up voluntary government system with no compulsion. Everyone has the right to follow their own religion and culture freely, regardless of what the followings teach.
Conclusion to Political Philosophy of Nasar Alam
As long as you are not infringing on other people’s liberties you are good to do whatever you want.
