If "everything" is refering to E2, then it would be to find my position on the political spectrum, an apropriate name for it, and perhaps some loyal followers from across cyber space.

I am considering entering politics later in life. If you have read some of my articles, please tell me what ideologies they sound like, what political parties follow these ideologies and if there are no such parties, what would be an appropriate name for my "party". I have already been told that it seems similar to George Orwells beleifs, which would make me an Anti-Stalinist. Hey, if anything sounds like Stalinism (or Maoism, or like certain aspects of Leninism and Marxism) I'm against it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shall I tell you the story of how my current ideologies came about. Some time ago, 1 year, possibly 2, I don't remember what got me thinking about it, but my Aunte told me about this interesting article in the Telegraph review magazine. In it, it was documenting a new concept known as HAC, or Human Animal Conflict. It described how all over the world, more and more people were being killed or at least attacked by other animals other than humans. Ah, now I remeber, I was considering starting a Ministary of Inter-Species relations, it would deal with possible revolts against humanity by other animals, and be the first organisation to greet aliens if they arrived. This article fueled my interest even more. When thinking about, I thought of certain humans who I feel preffered animals to other humans, most notably Peter Singer, who suggested that human foetuses, children and the mentally ill should be treated in the same way as great apes and other animals, or vice versa. I thought that these people would help any animal revolutionries in their quest to over through man. I decided to call them "Anti-Humanists", in later times I thought that this was too vague, so I coined other terms such as "Biological traitors" or "Species Traitors" (I think the latter was coined by a friend of mine.) In response I decided to refer to myself as a "Humanist".

Around some time after this, I had been listening to my uncle, refering to the Communists of the past, about how Communism can act as a economic stagnator. Before then I had seen Communism as bad, purely on the bases that someone always managed to get more power and/or wealth than anyone else, so it was impracticle. What annoyed me at the time was how he said "humans are naturally lazy, and Communism allows that." I thought "how dare he make such a remark about about his own kind!" Then I started to think it through, "okay, everyone being payed equally isn't that good, but neither is the current system where you have people can get rich on inheritence, thus not have to do anything, or go on reality T.V. shows, become famous and make lots of money without having to do much." So then I thought, "how about a system, where you get payed by how much output you produce or the quality of your services etc.... A Meritocracy." So, as a result, my other ideology became Meritocracy (sometimes its just fiscal, sometimes its social as well.)

So I was in the playground, thinking this through. I felt that in order to defeat the Anti-Humanists (and the other people I dislike), I'd have to form a party based around these ideologies. I decided to call this party at first the "Humanist Socialist Meritocracy Party." Then I thought "Humanism and Socialism are saught of the same thing, plus I look down on socialism, so I'll just say Humanism." So now it was called the "Humanist Meritocracy Party." I then decided that I needed to condense it to a two syllabel word. I thought of the Nationalist Socialist German Workers Party (or NSDAP) and how that was condensed to Nazi (I take alot of ideas from the Nazis, apart from the racist, aniti-semetic and anti-disabled ideas.) So, I ended up condensing Humanist Meritocracy Party into Herpes. I also chose Herpes since its the name for genital coldsaw, which gives the impression of a painful STD that was contaigous. "We are the Herpes, the genital warts on the genitals of evil, causing immense irritation and spreading upwards towards the heart and lungs."

Around the same time, I thought this party should have a symbol. I decided this symbol should be a stick man with a flag and on this flag would be a truck of coal. Why, the stck man is a Human, the flag is a powerful symbol (thats it) and the truck of coal goes as follows. I remember watching an old, black and white holywood film about a little boys life in a welsh coal mining village. When he went to work, and then got paid, I noticed how everyone was getting paid different amounts, with his older brothers being the highest paid out of all of them (but when they recieved it they were told that they were fiered.) The only way I could make sense of it, is that they were being paid in proportion to how much coal they were hauling to the surface. Incidently, this is my idea of an ideal meritocracy, so I decided to add that to my symbols. After awhile I decided to give this symbol a name, Herpes Simplex, and he would be the main character in my propaganda stories.

Since those days (not that long ago in fact) various things have changed. A lot of the time people kept telling me that I shouldn't try and be involved in politics or I should at least give my party a more apetizing name, I held firm. My first main political job for the Herpes (technically, it still even now is merely a concept, even I am not officially a Herpes), was for me to do a poster campaign during the European and County elections, advising people not to vote for the Green party (most of the posters got torn off within hours, if not minutes). After this I decided to change, not because of pressure from my friends and familly, but because the wrong saught of people were wanting to join my "party." Trust me, these people were/are highly "in your face", wouldn't leave you alone, impatient and had ideas that I disagree with (one of them kept suggesting whether I would exterminate Negroes in this country if I came to power.)

For this reason I decided to make a few changes: I decided not to talk about it too much in school, I decided to change the name Herpes into H.M. (although Herpes Simplex kept his name) and for the symbol I changed it too a white human silhouette in a black circle, crossed with a sword and a pickaxe (it essentially has the same symbolism as the first symbol but in a different form.)

There are certain things though that I have been uncertain about. The word Humanist is essentially a word that the renaissance artists gave to their beliefs, in which they felt people should use the things that made them "Human" such as emotion and reason, rather than just doing what holy text or the church told them to do, so they were effectively a form of European Buddhists. Subseqently "Anti-Humanists" (which include the Catholic Church and Communists) are the people who disagree with their principals.If that is the case, then if you merged my interpretation of the words "Humanist" and "Anti-Humanist" and the actual meaning of the words, then it is possible to be Humanist and an Anti-Humanist at the same time. So I've decided to change the Humanist in H.M. to "Humans" and rename the Anti-Humanists the "Anti-Humans." Also, the name H.M. sounds too much like "Her Majesties..." an organisation which I disagree with.

My ideologies have been described as Naziism, Facism, Communism, Catholocism, Egotism and to myself I see reminiscents of Fundamantal Islam. I decided them, that in order to bake my beliefs, or at least find out what they are, I decided to go on the internet and show other people to help me. So, here are my beleifs and why I chose them.

Moral beliefs.
Mainly Egotism-I would generally put myself first and other people second, and most of my other beliefs are purely there to help myself

Part Utillitarian-I do however want to help other people in society who I feel get an unneeded hard time,

small amounts of Absolutism-There are certain issues that I can be very intolerant about, less and less up to the present (proove me wrong.)

Beliefs in God
Pantheism-I generally see god as being a massive force that lives alongside the universe, in the form of gravity, or electro-magnetism or energy. I sometimes think that this force can be concious, that beams of electromagnetism could come together and form computers that could be so powerful that they could be thought of as a all knowing god. I believe in scientific theorys about life and the universe, such as Evolution and the Big Bang, but I think this idea fits quite well with them.

my other ideologies and "policies"
Anthro-superiority-I believe Humans are the most significant Animal on this planet, or at least one of a small cliche of "Uber-Tier" or "Super Animals", and that we should cling onto this and not let the Anti-Humans give it back to the "Unter-Tier".

Anti-Vegetarianism-I don't want make people who are already Vegetarians give up, but I do look down on those who try and shove it down other peoples throats, and be evangelical, and I hate the idea that they might come to power and pass laws that would make everyone be vegetarian.

Inter-species diplomacy-This is one of my stranger ideas, and probably one that can be dropped. Essentially, I feel that we should try and communicate with the animals that we can communicate with (I would put money into research) and do diplomatic discussions concerning them.

That Humans should have as much control over their own life and death as the state can provide them with-For this reason, I agree with Euthanasia but disgree with Termination.

Anti Enviromental radicalism-I look down on these people mainly since they have the opposite opinions to my top three ideas (excluding Inter-species diplomacy).

Sexuel liberilism-Some of my ideas include legalising brothels, loosening the grip on non-sadistic peadophiles and legalising things like Zoophilia and Necrophillia.

Anti-Feminism-They generally disagree with my ideas on sexuel liberilism, plus they generally agree with termination. I also dislike the fact that they indiscriminately hate men and I'm disturbed by the idea of all women becoming lesbians.

Pro-condoms and sheaths-I generally recommend myself and other men use condoms as an alternative to less morally sound types of birth control.(Incase your wondering, I was 15 when I wrote this and the above and have never dont "it" (oh dear, I should not have said that.))

Anti-Intoxicants and Drug addicts-I think I came across this as a way of being able to discuss the subject in my head or with like-company and simultainiously rebel against my peers who are generally in favour of intoxication. I do however get really annoyed with people who try and promote intoxicants, particularly illegal intoxicants, as exceptable (I am however interested in intoxicants like alcohol, but purely from a scientific and anthropological ground.)

Authoritarianism-Some of my more tricky ideas may require a lot of force from the police in order for them to work. These ideas include legalizing all intoxicants, but only allowing them to be distributed in in an area of a settlement that has been walled off from everyone else, with the patrons having to stay inside whilst they are under the influence, and being shot at by guards if they try to escape.

Eugenics-During my more evil moments, I sometimes feel that some of the people I don't like should be shot in the genitals (say, in the unlikely event that I get into a battle with Drug Addicts etc. I think I would aim for the genitals rather than the vital areas.) This would mean that they wouldn't be able to pass on their genes, which could include the gene that makes them Drug addicts etc.

Fiscal Meritocracy-I believe that people should be paid in proportion to how hard they work and/or how much output they produce.

Social Meritocracy/Democracy(two seemingly paradoxical things)-I believe that everyone should have a say but those with merit should have more of a say than others.

State monopoly on power-I don't like how the media and political sponsors have a distrurbing amount of influence and subsequently power, I think that the state should have all the power and devide it up among the people as is necessary to do various things.

Millitantism-I do like the process for preparing for combat or the national process for preparing for war, and theres something I like about being regimented etc.

Eurosceptism-I don't like how the EU is eroding the culture and customs of Europe, and how it is sponging power from its member states.

I believe in the existance of race-I do get annoyed with anit-racists who deny the existance of race amongst humans. I believe that there are two races or major phenotypes of humans, black people and yellow people (white people I think of as being a type of yellow people). I also believe that the yellow people have some saught of advantage over the black people, but it probably has more to do with the places they come from (like europe, siberia, east asia etc.) rather than how they look or what their culture is.

I believe in helping the disabled-Most of the time, their difference has nothing to do with their own actions, so they shouldn't be penalised for it.


So here are my beliefs, please help me define them, I will try my best to justify any beliefs you may have a problem with.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, I did some tests to find out what my ideology is, the last time I did it, I came out as very close to the middle, but I was a bit more liberal and a bit more left wing.
Here are the rest.

Conservative
Liberal Democrat
Centrist (closer to the left)
Social Conservative
Leninist (strangely)

(UK pages only)

A bit more conservative than Bill Clinton.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think I should weigh up my ideologies, from the my other ideologies and policies

My authoritarian/conservative/right wing ideas

Anthro-superiority
Anti-vegetarianism
Anti-enviromental radiclism
Anti-feminism
Anti-intoxicants and Drug addicts
Authoritarianism
Eugenics
Fiscal meritocracy
State monopoly on power
Millitantism
Eurosceptism
"I believe in the existence of race"

My liberal/progressive/left wing beliefs

Inter-species diplomacy
"That humans should have as much control over their own life and death as the state can provide them with"
Sexuel liberalism
"I believe in helping the disabled"

My more confused and central beliefs

Pro-condoms and sheaths
Social meritocracy/democracy

Lets do this more thouroughly (in this part one idea could go in 1-3 sections).

Authoritarian (the desire for all the power to be concentrated in a few)

Anthro-superiority
Anti-feminism
Authoritarianism
Eugenics
State monopoly on power
Millitantism
Eurosceptism

Liberal (the desire for there to be no laws or restrictions by a few people,)

Sexuel liberalism
"That humans should have as much control over their own life and death as the state can provide them with"

Conservative (the desire for everything to remain the same)

Anthro-superiority
Anti-vegetarianism
Anti-enviromental radiclism
Anti-feminism
Anti-intoxicants and Drug addicts
Eurosceptism
"I believe in the existence of race"

Progressive (the desire for things to change)

Inter-species diplomacy
Sexuel liberalism
"I believe in helping the disabled"

I think I'm getting the picture that I'm a rather right wing person.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, how did and do my beliefs come about, well, one of the main reasons was that so many years ago I briefly (for quite a few months that is) developed a very distinct phobia of the concept of Termination. This affected alot of my beliefs. Another thing is that I am one of those people who have a very distinct tendancy to hate and be intolerant. In particular I hate alot of the students at my school, in particular the "chavvy" males (and females as well). Plus there is my old mission drive within everything (what I thought at the was just an expression of what guided you through life) which you can use. Another aspect is how I build other beliefs on top of older ones. This is essentially how my ideologies have formed (along with a large amount of abstract thinking).

Since this was all written I have aquired a the first member of the Herpes party and it now officially exists with a members list. As for E2, I am now writing my friends and enemies to the cause, and the helpful critiques and helpers.

There are other individuals such as Jet-Poop who have also been highly helpful for my life on E2 and the Herpes cause

With the exception of the enemies of the cause I am sorry for any-offence

I have just realised that this makes no sense whatsoever, perhaps it is for the best
