'''Soulism''', is an [[File:Offcompass.png]] [[:Category:Off The Compass|off-the-compass]] [[File:Libleft.png]] [[:Category:Libertarian Left|Libertarian-left]] ideology that believes that the individual should be able to fulfill desire through limiting suffering and reverse-engineering the universe, simplifying it to a state where suffering is minimized as much as possible, and all hierarchy is abolished. It has been defined succinctly as "a school of anarchist thought which views reality and natural laws as unjust hierarchies"
 
Furthermore, Soulists believe in the abolition of all property, private or personal. Soulism denies the existence of objective truth, claiming that any immutable truth is an unjust hierarchy. This echoes the belief of chaos magicians that "nothing is true, everything is permitted"<ref>Urban, Hugh (2006). Magia Sexualis: Sex, Magic, and Liberation in Modern Western Esotericism. University of California Press. <nowiki>ISBN 9780520932883</nowiki>.

Some soulists claim that their beliefs reach back to colonial times, as a reaction to cultural genocides. Others claim it was created in 2022, directly from a fictional ideology<ref>https://medium.com/@viridiangrail/a-history-of-soulism-b11a99fd54c4</ref>.

Soulists are also Communalists, believing Communalism to be the economic system that will remove the excesses of institution and hierarchy. Private property is abolished, currency is abolished, no one can ‘own’ anything. Soulists believe this to be the optimal form of economics that can co-exist with the individual, as the collectivisation of property is not a spook, due to the Soulist belief that no one can possibly own anything.
 
Some soulists believe in a form of the scientific method, in which the observer's beliefs must be taken into account as an independent variable. It has been called "The soulist scientific method"<ref>https://medium.com/@viridiangrail/ricks-spaghetti-and-the-soulist-scientific-method-e58d023f3528</ref>.
