Hey Sup Forums
I'm 21 years old and seriously considering running for a local office and starting a new political party. I'm coming to you guys for criticisms and brainstorming ideas.
Generally my goal is to engineer a socialist society and push government to a libertarian position. I'm about to dump some of my strategies.
Roads
Don't
21 year olds don't know shit about the world or anything for that matter and I sure as hell don't want you controlling government.
You'll understand when you're older.
The masons and NWO leaders are already trying to form a one world government. Be patient brother.
Step one: I'm currently working on a viral fundraising platform with a software engineering friend of mine. The idea is people subscribe to pay one dollar a week to a cash pool. Every week there would be a vote on a reddit-style platform. Every other week it would go to a non profit. On the in between weeks it would alternate between going to a research team that either developed or discovered something that could be beneficial to the human condition. On the remaining week, it would go to a(n) group or individual that has been doing something good for their community.
Intended effects:
1. The free market platform of social welfare via non profits could potentially lessen the burden of tax funded entitlement programs through more direct and concerned organizations rather than bureaucratic entities.
2. The monetary reward of the research/developments would put an incentive on humanistic developments as opposed to retail technology.
3. The last part about people who are bettering their community would create a competitive humanist platform, which would hopefully inspire people to do good.
(continued)
Just kick out all non whites (or make them second class citizens) and protect personal property and ill be with you 100%
With the potentially lessened government cost of social welfare, we could put a tax incentive on seeking mental help. Maybe a fifty dollar tax rebate once a year for seeing a psychologist for an hour.
Effects:
1. Normalize mental care, which could potentially lower violent crime/suicide, relieving some of the need for law enforcement, again lessening tax burden.
2. Increase demand for psychologists, a major that many people ignorantly choose and can't find jobs in. Creating more jobs would also create more tax revenue.
3. Generally help more people to become stable, thus hopefully making them more contributing to society.

>didnt type everything out into a word doc then just copy n paste
Just stick to your education kid, get a good job and then you can think about starting your own political party
Create something totally new, not just 'brand X' politics revisited for a new generation again.
General policy ideals
Abortion:
Personally I believe that as soon as someone becomes pregnant they should consider an abortion, and they should make that the last time they consider it.
I would promote this ideology by making birth control as affordable as possible, whilst also making 2nd trimester abortions considerably more expensive than 1st trimester abortions (include an exception for extenuating circumstances such as loss of property due to fire or something, as well as termination from a job)
I would also make it easier for homosexual couples to adopt, increasing the adoption rate and making giving a kid up for adoption a more reasonable suggestion.
Education:
Public school would end at tenth grade. There would be mandatory classes for personal finances, job training/skills, and computer literacy.
After tenth grade, kids with above a 2.5 average would be pushed towards community college. Below a 2.5 would land you in a trade school.
Based on performance, kids deciding to go into fields with high demand would receive more government aid than those going into fields with less hiring potential.
Voting laws
Every individual would have to complete a quiz before becoming eligible to vote. The quiz would be a simple matching of candidates to their policies. This would eliminate the "useful idiots" concept of our failed democracy.
Any citizen who doesn't vote would have fifty dollars deducted from their tax returns.

Let us see the ignorance of this board lol
>Generally my goal is to engineer a socialist society and push government to a libertarian position. I'm about to dump some of my strategies.
>socialist
>libertarian
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
A lot of positions in my city ran unchallenged.
Just run for one of those seats, especially if their name is something foreign and yours is "Steve" or whatever, you'll win.
>socialist society
>libertarian government
What the fuck?
fpbp
Libertarian means self ownership. Socialism means individuals are owned by the state. They are complete opposites. Socialism requires maximum government intervention in all areas of the life of its property, the citizens. Libertarians are all about minimal intervention in the affairs of the citizens.
Call it "The Human Party" and have your policy rely strictly for human jobs for human workers but you'll also be handling robot rights too.
What's the point?
The liberal establishment is already enacting your pipedream.
how you gonna give free shit away when you advocate taxation is theft you dumb fuck?
>Make it easier for homosexuals to adopt
>Reddit-style platform
4U OP
Good luck, I doubt you have any name recognition of any kind.
Additionally, these kinds of weird, fringe ideas are basically unelectable. People don't vote with their brains, they vote with their guts.
Generally I agree with you, but if you think that mental progress and deep thought are something that comes uniformly with age then you are a result of our failed education system.
With the candidates I was told to choose from this election cycle; aside from the age minimums I see no reason why someone like me can't get involved.
How about you look at what I'm saying and criticize that instead of an ad hominem based on who I am. Your American is showing.
One huge post would turn off readers. People don't read big posts as commonly as they'll read a series of posts. I do have all of this in a word document, but if you have ever taken a public speaking class you would know that you have to factor in your audience to your presentation. My presentation that I'm working on for my connect at UNILAD magazine is not the same as it is for Sup Forums.
There's no reason I can't get involved now, but I am currently going to school for computer science with a minor in psychology.
Back to the issues:
Business ethics:
I would create a database of corporations ranking them on humanitarian qualities such as but not limited to:
1. Philanthropy. The higher percentage of revenue going to scholarships/humanitarian causes, the higher they would score on this.
2. Ethical production. Companies that rate higher on ethical production would mean less foreign "slave labor", ethical treatment of animal harvesting, and higher wages/internal promotions.
3. Domestic production. Companies that have a higher percentage of domestic employees would rate higher.
From their scores, we would analyze the markets and choose the highest rated business for each market. From there we would inspire a boycott of competitors through tax incentive.
You are American, you have no chance you dumb fuck.
Do you not realize that people have gone before you, still are and are failing?
If I get OP correctly, he wants to have a libertarian society with crowdfunded 3rd party social programs that you can opt in and out of at will. The only problem then would be gathering enough willing donors to support these programs especially with the amout of minorities in the US sucking off of the state. The cool thing about this idea however, is the fact that all of these private programs would stand the test of the free market, and their value would be directly correlated with how much the people put into them.
1. Remove overrated democracy
2. Install fascist technocracy
3. Lift all restrictions on stem cell research etc.
4. Fund space exploration and asteroid mining
5. ???
6. HAIL SCIENCE
My philosophy is that the government balances out the culture in an attempt to better the human condition. Think of the American revolution. The only reason that the democratic thing worked is because of the enlightenment period and the seriousness the culture took for political reformation. If we can enact a communal (maybe socialist was the wrong word) society, we can lessen the role of the government. I am well aware that the two platforms are contradictory, I'm not an idiot. Government socialism won't work because people are too concerned with the opportunity to better themselves and libertarian won't work because people won't stand for the lack of humanitarian effort that at this time is desperately needed.
That's essentially the plan. I have a connection at UNILAD and they would certainly jump on a story about a 21 year old running for office, especially with the mainstream-hatred of the current ruling party.
How are you going to stop corporations from influencing the standards set.
You are a child get some life experience before you even think of that
You're understanding what I mean. The willing donor concept would be pretty easy to ascertain. The response from people I've proposed the idea to on reddit/facebook/college/irl have been overwhelmingly in support. a one dollar minimum wouldn't be too much for people to feel drained financially. My friend developing the app/website is utilizing facebook/google+/twitter integration so it'd be easy to sign up. We will be using paypal as the payment method making it easier for people sign up for recurring payments (Recurring payments is essential. It's easy to opt in, and people wouldn't feel financially burdened enough to opt out at that rate). If we could get Social media platforms to add a plugin to the top of their home screens that just showed how much was going out weekly people would be compelled to vote, and thus get involved.
once we hit 7 million dollars a week (assuming nobody opted to donate more than a dollar a week, this would be roughly 2% of the American population) we would do it every week.
Another way to get more people inspired would be to require recipiants to make a thank you video. This would make people feel like they were making a difference rather than our current forced taxation strategy.
As long as you don't give scientists the ability to determine policy.
Let's not forget that science is just a more aristotelian form of religion.
>using reddit
Ok, I'm done here. Gl retard
Okay buddy. Thanks for your nihilistic worldview. Just so you know, Napoleon was roughly my age when he conquered france.
reddit style voting system =/= reddit you fucking poon. As I already stated, we're developing a platform already.
Young military commanders are always accompanied by old wisemen.
Let's not confuse nepotism with merit.
ok my mang.
gl with your retarded reddit fused plan
if you have been through the US school systems and then went to college...yes...you are still a child at 21 mentally compared to the hardships and life building that someone like napoleon had.
reading your posts, you have an ego problem. once you shed your ego, you will flourish
Napoleon was brought up to rule and they were different times.
Nobody will vote for a boy with no name and no life experience.

Can we stop pretending people like alexander and napolean are at all relatable with people from our century
