Avaritionism, formerly known as Ego-Darwinism, is an off-the-compass
Libertarian right-wing ideology that believes that an individual should be able to do anything they desire (i.e, live according to their avaritions), resulting in the stronger individuals rising to the top, and killing off those that are weaker.
The abolition of the state in tandem with individuals acting however they want, will allow those that he considers "strong" will act in their best interest to take the property of others, and will allow maximum competition of both markets and people.
In an Avaritionist society, the individual would put their avaritions first and reject morality, leading to inconsequential murder, robbery, and rape in order to satisfy the needs of the ego.
In contrast to an Egoist, an unironic Avaritionist would acknowledge that these would be the results of an Egoist society, embracing what they would describe as a system which enables natural selection and survival of the fittest.
An Avaritionist society would have a free market, similar to an Anarcho-Capitalist one, however it would be against the principles of Pacifism and the NAP, believing that they would prevent the avaritions of the ego.
History
Origins
"Avaritionism" originated as "Ego-Darwinism", which was coined by Discord user Denestaire#0148 on 26 February 2020. The current name, "Avaritionism" was coined by Discord user Dragonguard999#6231 on 7 March 2020 in the original Polcompball discord while users were trying to fill off-compass balls. A page (this one) about Avaritionism was added to the Polcompball wiki by User:DatUdderCow on 21 March 2020 to the Polcompball wiki. /r/avaritionism was created on 15 April 2020, likely also by DatUdderCow (DUC).
Online following
On the internet, self-described Avaritionist communities have formed on Reddit and Discord, and on the Polcompball subreddit many have flaired themselves as Avaritionist. It appears that most of these "Avaritionists" use Avaritionism as a niche/joke ideology, and do not sincerely reject empathy or morality in the way sociopaths do.
The discord for Avaritionism appears to contain sincere defenses of Avaritionism, with arguments in defense of pedophilia or murder relying on moral nihilism.
Others defend avaritionism based on breaking the monopoly of laws, in which and anarcho-capitalist society would have this monopoly because of the NAP.
Real world analogues
Many notable PMCs and assassins share characteristics of Avaritionism (being both capitalist and lacking NAP), but cannot be classified as purely Avaritionist considering that many of them follow hierarchical orders.
Psychopaths/Sociopaths could be described as Avaritionist, due to having impaired empathy and remorse. They may, like in Avaritionism, sincerely fail to see a problem with murder, theft or rape, and act entirely in their own interests, rejecting empathy or morality. And it is argued many sociopaths are likely within our own government However, due to their own mental illness, pragmatic nature alongside their uncooperative capabilities to organize with others like them usually prevents them from politically organizing or campaigning for a society free of morality or empathy, and throughout history, many societies have recognized the need to separate socially dysfunctional individuals from society by putting them in prisons, mental asylums or psychiatric hospitals. Such a society could potentially be arguably possible in theory if such a society was to exist where only psychopaths were to exist, though this might also just simply lead to less extreme sociopaths simply forming a state government for some semblance of safety and protection albeit highly inefficient, corrupt, authoritarian, and extremely unstable.
A true Avaritionist society would consist solely of sociopaths - no such society is known to have ever existed, and it is unclear whether it would be sustainable.
Analogues in Popular Culture
A good example of an Avaritionist society represented in popular culture could be seen in Nevada from the Madness Combat universe, which depicts the region as a barren wasteland in a constant ever present state of brutality, violence, lawlessness and chaos, with the only form of leadership and hierarchy is by either giant military contractors ruled by psychopathic megalomaniacs who view their workers as simple grunts to be used as mere cannon-fodder without basic rights to be endlessly mowed-down in attempt to eliminate those who try to get in their way and whose disposability allows them to be immediately slaughtered en masse on the simple whims of their leaders if they so choose, alongside using eugenics and cloning to create stronger disposable grunts, such as to engineer zombified grunts to further their goals for domination, or alternatively as disorderly pissant warlords, psychopaths, mass-murderers, fundamentalists, and cannibals who would casually butcher any survivors they come across as well as try to do the same to each other in attempts to try be the one to rule the wastes.
Alternate Philosophy
Some who unironically go by the title of "Avaritionist" see it as 'Egoism taken to its conclusion,' ie egoistic unions with an apathy towards hierarchy, and with the 'free market' increased to an extreme amount.
Personality and Behaviour
Avaritionism tends to call everything, especially morality a spook and is close to his parent, File:Ego.png Egoism. He is never seen with his other parent, Social Darwinism, preferring to hang out with the other anarchists instead. May also act and talk like Senator Armstong from Metal Gear Rising
