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.

"Things look genuinely optimistic for the future of space exploration and human expansion into the solar system. The reason for hopefulness doesn’t lie with the state[.]"

File:Anmark2.png Kevin Carson

Anarcho-Frontierism (Anfront) is an anarchist, transhumanist, economically center, culturally centrist ideology, inhabiting the bottom of the Political Compass. He believes that "true anarchist societies can only exist on the frontiers of... civilization" and so advocates for transhumanism to expand the frontier into space. His social system includes a largely limited state or the abolishment of the state altogether. His economic system is heavily based on his father; File:Mutalist.png Mutualism. Anarcho-Frontierism isn't hostile to market systems and seeks to create a system that combines their best aspects. His cultural ideals include protection of gun ownership, legalization of recreational drugs, sexual freedom, often touched upon in comics. Anfront finds preserving culture necessary for social cohesion, especially when it comes to art, language and history. Despite being related to File:Transh.png Transhumanism, Anarcho-Frontierism supports only augmentation and enhancement of the human body without changing the human nature itself.

Stylistic Notes

Anfront often speaks English with a mix of Russian, Spanish, Chinese, or other languages; and uses inverted question marks and exclamation points, American cowboy slang (pardner, y'all, yeehaw, goner) and some Australian words (g'day, jackaroo). He's always seen in his cowboy hat, ushanka, sombrero, Canadian Beaver Fut Hat, Hetman's Headpiece or other type of headwear popular on the frontier depending on the location, and climate. At times (Especially when he represents An-Front with tribal characteristics or is with his tribal allies) he may be seen with some cyber-tribal regalia, or with war-paint You can make a special version of Anarcho-Frontierism with a specific country's characteristics by adding this country's headwear and popular weapons/tools (e.g. an AK-47 and a Ushanka for Russia, a Mondragón rifle and a Sombrero for Mexico, a Heatman's Headpice and wooden mace for Ukraine, etc). Anfront often has a gun (which can be any "classic", non-tacticool weapon, mostly from the USA and Russia. AK-47, Browning A-5, Colt SAA or Mondragón Rifle are all good examples) or a bow (Mongolian or Native American style), a machete, a bottle of strong alcohol, a weed joint or a musical instrument (mostly guitars and banjos). He also often has a red cyborg eye. Soft-spoken, calm and polite when at peace. Goes full-on yeehaw mode when provoked. Can be flirty, especially with other lib ideologies. Always tries to reconcile all libertarian/anarchist ideologies to work together. Relationship wise, He is typically a lone-wolf and a vagabond but sometimes forms small unions or parties with ideologically like-minded allies. While he is distant from most people, he is closest with File:Indigenous Anarchism.png Indigenous Anarchism which they have a long and complex history together in the frontier, both as best friends and at times great rivals. Often times he may have to go on great adventures to defend himself against File:Tribal.png Neo-Tribals and File:Technobarbarians.png Cyber-Techno-Hordes as well as to protect the frontier from File:Imp.png Imperialist and Colonial File:Colonial.png powers who want to take it and implement a state for themselves.

Variants

File:DutchvanderLinde.png Dutch van der Linde Thought

Dutch has an File:Socan2.png anarchistic worldview similiar to a File:AntiIndust.pngHunter-Gatherer Society, one that opposes File:Ludd.pngtechnology and governmental control where one must File:Insan2.png fight to survive but may also live the *File:Anin.png lifestyle they choose, free from any rules and regulations; a world where men live very much like they did in the old, idealized Wild West. Dutch shows a common disgust and contempt for "cultured" towns like Blackwater and industrialized urban centers like Saint Denis, as these locations serve as monuments to technological and industrial progression, and government-enforced order, conformity, and peace, all of which Dutch violently opposes. Van der Linde considers technological and industrial progress as methods by which the federal government can exert authority and control over the general population, especially disenfranchised groups of people, such as File:Indigenous Anarchism.pngNative Americans and those who live in poverty.

Dutch's philosophy is File:React.pngreactionary, desiring a return to the older ways. While the New West of the 20th century promotes clothing, technology, culture, and civilization, Dutch wants to move back to the Old West of the 19th century, which promotes survival, discipline, resourcefulness, and fitness by using skill and courage to overcome hardship. As the culture in the West progresses towards a modernist view that praises and rewards forced conformity, incorporation, order, and employment on a large societal scale, Van der Linde would prefer people to remain civilized where they are and allow the Old West to survive in the way to which it has grown accustomed. If the File:AntiAm.pngFederal Government will not allow him or his people to live their lives the way they wish, he will File:Insan2.pngfight for his perceived right to live as he wishes.

It should be noted that Dutch's heavy emphasis on personal values such as liberty, equality, cultural tolerance, and natural law aligns with many ideas that encompassed the Age of Enlightenment movement during the 18th century. Many of the models and theories proposed during this time are currents of thought that Dutch frequently uses to share his beliefs. Van der Linde is a particularly frequent user of the Social Contract. Dutch's worldview states that law and political order are neither natural nor dependent on government and that human rights are universal and inalienable. Dutch often laments that in the increasingly modernized America, individual rights and freedoms must be sacrificed to an authority he views as greedy, dishonest, exploitative, and prejudiced. The Old West is the perfect environment for a society based on natural rights, which is why Dutch violently opposes anything that threatens to end this way of life.

File:Front.pngFile:Earth.png Earth-Centric Anarcho-Frontierism

Earth-Centric Anarcho-Frontierism is a somewhat broad variant of Anarcho-Frontierism that either believes civilization didn't take over the Earth yet, and there are still places where you can practice anarchism on the frontier, that civilization HAS taken over but can be reversed to a frontier-state, or some combination of the two. Those who insist frontiers still exist on Earth commonly point to less developed areas in File:Cball-AfricanUnion.png Africa, File:Cball-SCO.png Asia, etc.

How to Draw

File:Anfront flag.svg

Flag of Anarcho-Frontierism

Drawing Anfront is fairly simple:

1. Draw a ball.
2. Draw a line in a lighter shade of black diagonally through the ball.
3. Fill the space below the line the same color of the line and the space above the line tan.
4. Use white to draw a railroad spike straight up and down, a lever-action rifle aiming towards the top right, and a tomahawk with the head on the top left. You can change the rifle and the tomahawk to the weapons popular on your particular frontier to create a special regional version (e.g. an AK-47 and a Mongolian bow for Siberia).
5. Add a cowboy hat with the outline in deep brown and filled in with a lighter shade.
6. Optionally, add a guitar or banjo in peace or a gun (made of wood, ivory, and metal, usually of American or Russian production) in battle.
7. Add the eyes (left eye, i.e., on your right, optionally red), and you're done!
