Fictional Ideology
"The party would like to remind you this ideology has never existed" - Ingsoc
This article is about a fictional ideology and has no foundation in real life political movements.

"While others may weep or cringe or wring their hands in the midst of disaster I live for these times of challenge."

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.

Ideology combines both ideas of Anarcho-Egoism and Social Darwinism which coincidentally are features of people with anti-social disorder called psychopathy or sociopathy. They share with Egoism: sense of self-worth, irresponsibility and lack of long term goals. Plus they share with Social Darwinism belief that success in life can only be achieved at the expense of others, failure of others is their own fault.

Disregard 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 contrast with Egoism, Avaritionism holds almost the same beliefs with lack of empathy on top, as Stirner wrote: "I love them because love makes me happy, I love because loving is natural to me, because it pleases me." and "I have a fellow-feeling with every feeling being, and their torment torments, their refreshment refreshes me too; I can kill them, not torture them.". Person with lack of empathy would not be able to have such feelings at all. 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 self.

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.

Variants

Guardiões do Estado

In real life, something very close to avaritionism would be the Brazilian criminal faction Guardiões do Estado (Acronym: G.D.E), in which it has no leader and is decentralized, but still commits drug trafficking, commits massacres (such as the Cajazeiras Massacre) and murders of people from other criminal or innocent groups with armed robbery or bus burning. Most of the members of the faction are minors and became known for bombings/bus burnings and wars between other criminal groups, leaving the state of Ceará (where the group is located) a relatively violent place.

State of Nature

State of Nature is a thought experiment mostly associated with the philosopher Thomas Hobbes. He assumed that without the state, people would start killing each other in a selfish scramble for resources. Hobbes explains the concept of this term in the XIII chapter of Leviathan: "Hereby it is manifest that during the time men live without a common Power to keep them all in awe, they are in that condition which is called War; and such a war as is of every man against every man.[...] In such condition there is no place for Industry, because the fruit consequent is uncertain: and consequently no Culture of the Earth; no Navigation, nor use of the commodities that may be imported by Sea; no commodious Building; no Instruments of moving and removing such things as require much force; no Knowledge of the face of the Earth; no account of Time; no Arts; no Letters; no Society; and which is worst of all, continual Fear, and danger of violent death; And the life of man solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short." This ideology have nothing to do with philosophy of Egoism. It serves to describe society without institutions, traditions and universal morality but it also presuposses human nature to be exactly the same.

Thomas Hobbes himself believed that such a society can only be temporal, people will eventually unite under a single social contract out of the need for peace. Mentions of the State of Nature can be found in works of John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, David Hume, etc. but their concept of human nature was different, and shouldn't be associated with this particular ideology.

Technobarbarians

In this version, society has returned to a primitive stateless lifestyle after the collapse of civilization, but the people living in the ruins use whatever technology they can scavenge, with knowledge from civilization being kept and passed down by those who remember it and given mystical components, small-scale technologies still being built, hereditary transhumanist augmentations remaining, self-replicating technologies still functioning, scrap being harvested, and irreplaceable technologies being zealously guarded. Such a state would likely only last a few generations, but could potentially be extended to last longer if civilization is unable to rebuild. Technobarbarians can also refer to people adopting a barbarian ethos with advanced technology in opposition to an oppressive and/or collapsing society, either as warriors in a collapsing society who wish to establish a good position for themselves or anti-civilization rebels who wish to establish a primal society or societies. Lastly, it can also refer to those who adapt to city life while maintaining a barbarian and primal ethos.

Personality and Behaviour

Avaritionism tends to call everything, especially morality a spook and is close to his parent, Anarcho-Egoism. He is never seen with his other parent, Social Darwinism, preferring to hang out with the other anarchists instead. Like ancap, it is violently protective of its property but unlike its on-compass counterpart, it is not above stealing or intruding on others' property. When called out on this hypocrisy, it justifies it using natural selection. May also act and talk like Senator Armstong from Metal Gear Rising. As a psychopath, it cannot have lovers or friends, but it can respect strength, act "nicely" and manipulate people who can be useful.

Relationships

Good Business Card

  • Anarcho-Egoism - Morality, humanism and society are artificial concepts that should be negated and abandoned.
  • Illegalism - My partner in crime, he taught me almost everything I know.
  • Hydrarchy - Another old partner from the sea.
  • Social Darwinism - "The weak will be purged, and the strongest will thrive!" Which is me obviously.
  • Autarchy - "Every man should be free to think... to act... for himself!"
  • Anarcho-Primitivism & Primalism - Reject civilization, return to the natural state.
  • Post-Humanism and Right Accelerationism - Humanity is dead. Hell is full. Blood Money is fuel.
  • Archeofuturism - Perfect compromise between inhuman technology and prehuman violence.
  • Agorism - He sells me guns, even if he hates violence. Your "peaceful revolution" is pretty cringe, I will sell organs from killed enemies in red markets if I want, but you are definitely the best criminal because you support unlimited free trade.
  • Combatocracy - Even if we fight, in the end, the strong will be free.
  • Libertarian Transhumanism - NANOMACHINES, SON!
  • Anarcho-Frontierism - Imagine my ideal society on the frontier.
  • Pragerism - He likes murder and killing people for fun like me.
  • Techno-Anarchism - Your works are great and very helpful: cryptocurrency, torrent, secure messengers, and darknet marketplaces. I know you hate violence and murder, but I can look past that.
  • Foucauldianism - Prisons and mental hospitals are surely oppressive institutions that limit my freedom of action.

Toss the Coin

  • Objectivism - Social-Darwinism? Absence of morality? Wow, that's pretty sweet, but you don't push those ideas far enough. We need anarchy, not a pathetic minimal state and voluntarism.
  • Korwinism - Same to you. The stuff you say about rape and communists is extremely true.
  • Libertarian Feminism - Sure, women should be free, but only for Black Friday.
  • Soulism - He believes that the ego is supreme, but I cannot defend myself if he violates mine. And HOW does this lazy stoner achieve advanced tech and superpowers without doing anything? I want to know!
  • Anarcho-Capitalism - This system would open a lot of possibilities for me, but NAP aspect is obviously a downside, be more like him you b*tch.
  • Hoppeanism - I see nothing wrong with throwing commies from helicopters, but your natural order and social structure are dumb. Why do you want to live in a covenant community? Maybe you are a communist yourself? I will take drugs, do sex, and kill people if I really want, and I don't care about your social norms.
  • Ego-Communism - Thinks morality is an imaginary construct, like me, but why does he want to implement communism? I will never be free in a peaceful and egalitarian community, because I can't really do what I want here. At least I can freely leave it, compared to other commie societies.
  • Kleptocracy - I don't need the state to serve myself, you also should understand it!
    • Cousin please, let's go bowling. Besides, crime is easier when nobody opposes you.
  • Financialism and Corporatocracy - On one hand, you help me save my money, buy cool weapons pay for my assassination services. On the other hand, you are statists and don't like when I'm trying to attack you. Still better than commies anyway.
  • Anarcho-Individualism - We both love individualism, but many of your followers lean on the left.
  • Posadism - Post-apocalyptic wasteland would be great. He will try to build communism by himself when aliens will not come, so I will kill him.
  • Kraterocracy - Controlling the weak is too bothersome and limits my freedom to roam where I want. But some of your ideas like your "Might make right" is great.
  • Satanic Theocracy - Your fight against society and religion is great, but you created another authoritarian structure in the end, which is the obvious result of setting principles. Your obsession with rituals is awful.
  • Anarcho-Nihilism - We ran away from the mental hospital together. Cheer up my friend, there are so many people around to rob or sell their organs, but what do you mean by "money is not worth it"?
  • Capitalism - Rich cuck who insists on having that boring "civil rights" crap, but his mercenary contracts do pay well. If he didn’t have all those bodyguards around his mansion 24/7, I would have robbed him a long time ago.
  • Insurrectionary Anarchism - We both agree about violence and state, but for different reasons. But you are a worthy opponent. Please be more precise with your weapons, organs need to be whole to be sold.
  • Anarcho-Fascism - He really understands and embraces the aggression principle, but I don't care about race issues at all, I can kill both whites and blacks.
  • Neoreactionaryism - I like that economic darwinism thing. What do you mean you don't want people to murder each other for money? Social Darwinism boils down to pure competition which is me.
  • Fordism - Only good not darwinist totalitarian. I can do whatever I want on islands.
  • Nomadology - You're not going far enough. Desire should be extended to murdering and raping whomever I like.

Limpdick Lawyers and Chickenshit Bureaucrats

  • Authoritarian Conservatism - You call me "state of nature", you described the principles of my work, and you literally gave birth to me. Now out of the way, humanity no longer needs a "Leviathan" in the person of the state.
  • Hive-Mind Collectivism - My opposite. I'm gonna burn your collective down!
  • Theocracies - You limit my freedom by both religious morality and even more artificial law. I will kill, steal, fornicate when I want and how I want.
  • Ingsoc - Not a single individual has power or wealth under this system, the Inner Party holds it collectively. I would rather die fighting than live under such a regime.
  • Anarcho-Communism - All social anarchists have the same problem, they want to change the state's law with culture, and for that, they will need to indoctrinate everyone to serve society.
  • Minarcho-Socialism - Finally, ancom admits his love of state-like institutions.
  • Mediacracy - "F*ck this 24-hour Internet spew of trivia and celebrity bullsh*t!"
  • Communalism - I will steal all your toothbrushes and will not share mine with anyone, especially you!
  • Conservatism - Moralism and tradition. Everything I stand against.
  • Total Liberationism - You believe in equality, but in an animal society, the stronger will always be free and alive. You are just a fool likening herbivores.
  • Humanism - "I have all the characteristics of a human being: blood, flesh, skin, hair; but not a single, clear, identifiable emotion, except for greed and disgust. Something horrible is happening inside of me and I don't know why. My nightly bloodlust has overflown into my days. I feel lethal, on the verge of frenzy. I think my mask of sanity is about to slip."
  • Civil Libertarianism - I have all rights I can take.
  • Anarcho-Pacifism - Another pathetic weakling! Maybe I will leave you alone because you will die from weakness in this miserable world anyway
  • Welfarism - Taxation is robbery... Not like I care, but you won't get anything from me.
