Core Values of Platonian Based Pseudo-Fascist Objectivism:

 

        Platonian Based Pseudo-Fascist Objectivism is a political ideology created by Alexander Haberbush. The highest aims of this idology are efficiency, virtue, unity, and the people's ability to do things for the betterment of themselves, and consequently society as a whole. We believe that the efficiency of a nation is of the utmost importance. Internal operations must run smoothly and without discord, this is central, and will be enforced by law. Progress also pertains to the overall efficiency of society. Our society must progress in scientific research and exploration. This should be the highest priority of government expenditure. Secondly, we believe that virtue should be promoted above freedom. This will also be enforced in all instances relating to society and in decisions impacting others. Decisions solely impacting one's self will not be regulated. In other words, people will have the ability to do whatever they want if it solely impacts themselves. Next, people must do things for the benefit of national identity and leader, not themselves or other individuals. This means that they are allowed self fulfillment, but only in such a way that leads to a better society (they are encouraged to make life better for themselves, but can only do objectively good things that don't harm others or society). It also must be stated that we are strongly anti-communist. collectivity and majoritarian rule are inherently flawed as outlined under "Individuality Instead of Collectivity". Communal ownership is also a flawed principal. People should only have that which they have earned for themselves. To give a person something which he has not earned, or has been earned by someone else is not only unfair, but discourage hard work. Platonian Based Pseudo Fascist Objectivism stresses hard work as the most important quality one can possess. Consequently, everything from food to position in society must be earned. Good things will not be handed out to those who do not deserve them. In this way, we are in favor of a meritocracy. Many may mistake our views of doing what is best for society as communistic. This is not the case. Communism is a perversion of these basic, good, moral values that leads to state control of people's lives, the abolition of private property, and financial equality created through collective ownership. Such things should be detested by anyone who loves fairness, true equality, and individual liberty. A philosophy of position determined by merit could not be further from the views held by Marxists and other communists.

        Economically, we promote a semi-capitalist form of corporatist autarky. We are strongly in favor of a corporatist economic system. The free market must be preserved but business should be used for the ultimate benefit of society. In our system, government will favor business and economic growth. (for more on our economics, see LEBFRU Manifesto). Laws are created to prevent people from being wronged, or in the most basic possible terms, to prevent interference in the lives of private citizens. This fundamental principal applies both to the government and to the governed. Just as we will have strict policies in place to prevent the Government from wronging the people, laws governing the citizens must also be strict; we want to ensure that no individual has the right to interfere in the life of another individual. Lastly, and most importantly, is unity. Without unity, none of our other objectives can obtained. This unity can only be achieved if people adopt one central culture. All cultures have things to offer, and none can be discarded. The Central Culture will incorporate aspects of many others in order to form one superior culture. People must also learn to keep form separating themselves from others. This can be avoided by not promoting such things as race, nationality, gender, language or many other distinctions. A national culture will help to promote this. We must stand united, together, and not separate. This is our central philosophy. In doing these things we hope to create a better, more efficient society for all individuals, a society where all people are treated fairly, a society where there is unity and peace rather than violence and discord, and most importantly, a society that pleases our almighty creator and heavenly father, Jesus Christ. For specific logistics of the LEBFRU party, read the LEBFRU Manifesto by Alexander Haberbush.

Individuality Instead of Collectivity

 

Logic and Efficiency Based Fundamental Realism focuses on the competency of unique and exceptional individuals, rather than collective decisions of the majority. It is often perceived that majoritarian decisions are correct decisions. LEBRFU views this as false. As Plato once said "Democracy is a charming form of government, full of variety and disorder; and dispensing a sort of equality to equals and unequals alike". In addition to what Plato stated, it is also undeniably true that one thousand empty heads do not make one wise man, nor does a courageous decision arise from one thousand cowards. The majority often makes decisions hazardous to themselves and others; this is demonstrated in Wagner's opera "Rienzi," where the people choose a strong leader who liberates them from the oppression of their lords. At the end of the opera, the people kill Rienzi, because what they thought they wanted (freedom) was not what they truly wanted (This is not the basis for the LEBFRU ideals, but more of an example of what neglecting the LEBFRU ideals can cause). We also find it more likely that at least one single individual out of an entire society will act in the people's best interest, than that the majority of the society will. There is very little sense behind majoritarian decisions, aside from appeasing the people's childish and paranoid desire to contribute to the sovereignty of a nation. This is why all decisions must be made by wise individuals with the people's best interest in mind. This idea is derived from Plato's idea of the "philosopher king." However, Plato was mistaken in assuming that mere philosophy was enough to make a leader act in his people's best interest. The thing to which power will most easily yield is a higher power. This is why God must be preserved as the basis for our morality and philosophy. As long as God is held as infinitely important and powerful, leaders will be considerably less likely to act outside of the people's best interest. The United States Constitution was also a noteworthy endeavor which attempted to do the same thing. The Constitution is the only thing which has kept the United States together this long. However, over they years interpretations changed and many aspects of it were ignored. LEBFRU plans on creating a much stricter constitution with less room for ideological differences. Collectivity and unconditional equality are also senseless and illogical. They serve no purpose but to gratify people's unwarranted desire to be considered as important as those with greater abilities who contribute more. A society cannot truly be advanced unless there are some people in positions of leadership and control, and others are in a position to execute their commands. Anyone who has been in any kind of group that wanted to accomplish a task knows that, without a leader, nothing can be accomplished in an efficient, effective, or timely manner. This is not to say that people shouldn't be able to move up in the hierarchy, but they should, however, accept their current position while striving for one of greater status. In this way, the most capable individuals will rise to the top, regardless of their original status. People should not be bound by any kind of a cast or class system but only by their own ability and ambition.

LEBFRU as Applied to American Politics

 

LEBFRU, as applied to American politics, is known as the "Common Sense and Reason Party," The focus of the Common Sense and Reason Party differs from the base LEBFRU views in that it aims at a strict interpretation of the Constitution in an effort to obey what the framers would have wanted (after all, the obedience of rules is stressed as infinitely important by Platonian Based Pseudo-Fascist Objectivism). We aim at the minimalization of government intervention in the economy and in the lives of private citizens. Though government a corporatist government is ideal, the conflicting views created by the bipartisanship in the United States government would make such an economic system disastrous. The U.S. government is meant to be a referee rather than a player in the economy and American Society at large. We believe that any power not given to the government in the constitution was not meant to be allowed to the government. Therefore, you should be able to peruse whatever endeavors you would like as long as you don't hurt anybody else doing so. This means the complete abolition of all socialistic policies mandated by the government. It is absolutely necessary that the United States adopt a strictly free market, capitalist economy. Any and all economic reforms such as Roosevelt's New Deal must be revoked immediately. This, of course, also necessitates the abolition of labor unions, as they are another force that works to undermine and control corporate industry. We also believe that all foreign relations, including trade should be kept to a minimum. Diplomatic policy should be noninterventionalist, and we should endeavor to be as self sufficient as possible. In this sense, we promote an isolationist autarky. Essentially, the government should stick to its own business, and cease to pry into the personal affairs of individuals and of other countries.

War, if necessary, should not be waged in an effort to police the world. War should be avoided at all cost, and should only be waged when the perceived gains to the United States outweigh the perceived losses. The wellbeing of other countries is not our concern. If they want to be oppressed, so be it. Because of this, United States should never seek to liberate countries. If it is necessary that we invade another country, it should not be for the purpose of liberation, but rather annexation. This should only be done if the recourses contained in that land are absolutely necessary and cannot be procured more cheaply by any other means. We also believe that during a war, it is regrettably necessary that the level of censorship be increased. It is necessary that any aspect of anti-government sentiment be repressed in any and all forms of media. Anti-government sentiment should be regarded as treasonous and punished accordingly. If the level of censorship is not increased, the people will not be in favor of their country's efforts and will lower morale of both troops and civilians engaged in the war effort at home. Again, we find it necessary to state that we do not promote war, and seek its avoidance at all costs. This is due largely to our isolationist policies.

We do however believe that free speech outside of wartime is not meant to extend as far as it does today. We believe that anti government sentiment should be minimized at all times in the media, and non-existent in all government affiliated jobs. We, however also believe that the Soviet mentality of that which can and cannot be said, based on what is “politically correct” must be totally eliminated. We are strongly anti-union, and anti any law at all restricting a free market. We believe that there should be as few government employees as possible. The government can, however, employ use of private business in order to accomplish necessary or beneficial tasks, such as maintenance of roads or strengthening of infrastructure. This is a corporatist element that should be preserved in United States government because it will benefit both the economy and the lives of American citizens. Environmental issues seem to be of rising concern to the American people, because of this, the Common Sense and Reason Party finds it necessary that we respond. In order to promote the environment, the U.S. should not pass legislation regulating emissions or fund expensive research into alternative energies. It should instead give tax breaks to industries that spend money researching and producing "environmentally friendly" products, and to private citizens that invest in and buy "environmentally friendly" products. This would help both the economy (by increasing spending), and the environment (by promoting research). We also find that the best approach to conservation is allowing the people to control it themselves. The power of the individual as a consumer is to decide weather or not they will buy a product. The government will provide the necessary labeling including the exact contents, method of production/capture, and place of origin. After that it is up to the consumer to make responsible decisions. We are, for the most part anti bureaucracy, with the exception of such institutions as the FDA (people should know that the products they are buying are of good quality), and NASA (The government should ensure the progress of a society). The majority of our policies aim at the elimination of socialist and communist infiltration, subversion and indoctrination. These things exist today, more than ever before, however, they assume the pleasant and rather quaint names of “liberal,” or “progressive.” These disguises do not deceive us, we see them for what they are, and seek their removal from American politics. The collapse of the Soviet Union was not the end of the war on communism, but merely a crucial step. The elimination of communists cannot and will not stop there. For the most part, the Common Sense and Reason Party believes that the Constitution gives the American people the right to be left alone.
