'''Soulism''', also known as '''Anarcho-Antirealism'''<ref name=":0" /> and formerly known as '''Ego-Communalism''', 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"<ref name=":0">https://medium.com/@viridiangrail/a-soulist-manifesto-4d0456dcb75a</ref>
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>.
https://openlibrary.org/books/OL29584909M/Magia_Sexualis</ref>. There exist numerous similarities between soulism and chaos magick, and many soulists are practitioners.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Soulism101/comments/zwdd7y/chaos_magick_gels_extremely_well_with_soulist/</ref>
Many soulists believe in Donald Hoffman's theory of conscious realism, which states that the nature of objective reality is a "heterarchy of conscious agents", and that physical spacetime, matter, and energy are illusions.<ref>Hoffman (2008), Conscious Realism and the Mind-Body Problem, University of California at Irvine, USA
https://sites.socsci.uci.edu/~ddhoff/ConsciousRealism2.pdf</ref>
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>.
==Beliefs==
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>.
==Types==

===[[File:Serioussoulism.png]] '''Serious Soulism'''===
Serious Soulism is a version of Soulism based on posts from the reddit community r/serioussoulism, which is a community for serious, meme-free discussion of Soulist ideology. According to the posts, one of the ways to abolish the laws of the universe would be through transhumanism and posthumanism and supporting the 2045 initiative, claiming that it would not be a realistic and non-absurd way to achieve soulism, as well as being neutral towards determinism. of the universe, but still supporting the exploration of the Milky Way.
They also support a new kind of energy through self-copying robots, opposition to things said to benefit capitalism, anti-binarism, rise in philosophy, science and engineering, communitarianism, opposition to communist authoritarianism, <s>opposition to polcompball</s>, extraphisism, divineism, total freedom, influence of post-left authors (Max Stirner, Deleuze, Guattari, among others), a universe like a sandbox game and total power to individuals.<ref>

== Website Feud ==
A feud exists between two of the extant soulist websites, one of which claims to be the official soulist website<ref>sophreni.neocities.org/soulism</ref>, and one of which claims there is no such thing as an official soulist website<ref>http://soulism.net/</ref>. Controversy exists between the creators of both websites, and the former has been accused of hosting pro-pedophilia propaganda<ref>https://medium.com/@viridiangrail/a-soulist-website-b1488f2b37db</ref>.
