Secular Paganism on Economics

  Table of Contents

 

Below is a detailed Secular Pagan Party Pamphlet titled "Spreading Secular Paganism: A Guide for Any Economy". This pamphlet uses all the data generated so far on Secular Paganism—including its definition, the Constitution of the Secular Pagan State in America, the Secular Pagan Party Constitution, the Party Manifesto, the psychological profile of members, and the review of constitutional changes—to explain how Secular Paganism can be implemented across different economic systems (capitalism, communism, socialism) and under varying policies on usury (allowed or banned). It also provides practical advice for Party members on spreading Secular Paganism in their nations, tailored to these economic contexts.

Secular Pagan Party Pamphlet: Spreading Secular Paganism—A Guide for Any Economy

Introduction: The Universal Reach of Secular Paganism
Brothers and sisters of the Secular Pagan Party, guided by the Four Pillars—"Spread your gods, spread your law, spread your sword, spread your children"—we stand united in a mission that transcends economic systems. Secular Paganism is not a religion but a legal framework rooted in rational, natural law, designed to preserve ethical polytheism and resist monotheism’s corrosive grip. Whether your nation thrives under capitalism’s markets, communism’s collectivism, or socialism’s balance—or whether usury drives wealth or is forbidden—our Seven Categories of Laws can reshape any economy into a Secular Pagan State. This pamphlet shows how to implement our vision and offers you, the Party faithful, strategies to spread our cause, no matter where you stand.

Secular Paganism: A Flexible Foundation
Our system is not tied to any one economic ideology. It thrives on human reason, not divine edict, and adapts to any structure that governs production, wealth, and labor. The Seven Categories—banning monotheism, protecting blasphemy, ensuring sexual freedom with growth, prohibiting murder and theft, safeguarding nature, and establishing courts—focus on belief, behavior, and justice, not markets or property. Below, we detail how Secular Paganism integrates with capitalism, communism, and socialism, with or without usury, and how you can advance our cause in each.

Implementing Secular Paganism in Different Economies

1. Capitalism

Overview: In a capitalist economy, private ownership, competition, and profit drive progress. Wealth flows through markets, and individuals pursue self-interest.
Implementation:

• No Monotheism: Ban monotheistic institutions from owning property or influencing markets; promote polytheistic or agnostic enterprises.
• No Anti-Blasphemy: Protect free speech in advertising and media, allowing blasphemy against all gods to flourish as a market right.
• Sexual Freedom and Growth: Deregulate consensual adult activities (e.g., prostitution, pornography) as private industries; incentivize high birth rates through tax breaks or corporate family benefits.
• No Murder/Theft: Enforce property rights and personal safety via courts, aligning with capitalist legal norms.
• Nature’s Welfare: Regulate businesses to minimize environmental harm (e.g., fines for pollution), while allowing profit-driven innovation in humane animal practices.
• Courts of Justice: Establish private or public courts to enforce Secular Pagan laws, funded by taxes or fees.
  Usury Considerations:
• Allowed: Interest-based lending fuels capital growth; courts ensure it doesn’t violate theft laws (e.g., exploitative rates).
• Banned: Replace usury with profit-sharing models; redirect capital to polytheistic community projects.

Fit: Capitalism’s emphasis on individual liberty aligns with our rejection of centralized monotheistic control, though its materialism may need tempering to prioritize population growth and nature.

2. Communism

Overview: In a communist economy, the state owns production, wealth is shared, and class distinctions dissolve under collective effort.
Implementation:

• No Monotheism: State propaganda promotes polytheism or atheism; monotheistic groups are dissolved as counter-revolutionary.
• No Anti-Blasphemy: State media critiques all beliefs, ensuring collective freedom to blaspheme; no ideology suppresses rational discourse.
• Sexual Freedom and Growth: Communal living supports unrestricted adult relationships; state nurseries and education ensure population doubling.
• No Murder/Theft: Collective ownership eliminates theft incentives; murder is punished as a betrayal of the commune.
• Nature’s Welfare: State plans prioritize sustainable agriculture and humane animal treatment, rejecting profit-driven excess.
• Courts of Justice: People’s courts enforce Secular Pagan laws, with collective input on punishments like exile or death.
  Usury Considerations:
• Allowed: Rare, as communism shuns private profit; if present, state regulates lending to serve communal goals.
• Banned: Aligns naturally with communism; wealth redistribution supports polytheistic collectives.

Fit: Communism’s collective ethos suits our call to “spread your children” and unite against monotheism, though its authoritarian tendencies must avoid stifling blasphemy.

3. Socialism

Overview: In a socialist economy, the state balances private enterprise with public welfare, redistributing wealth for equity.
Implementation:

• No Monotheism: Public policy bans monotheistic influence in education and welfare; subsidies support polytheistic or agnostic groups.
• No Anti-Blasphemy: Social programs promote free expression, including blasphemy, as a public good; critique of beliefs is state-funded.
• Sexual Freedom and Growth: Welfare supports unrestricted adult lifestyles; universal healthcare and childcare drive birth rates.
• No Murder/Theft: Social safety nets reduce theft motives; courts protect citizens from violence.
• Nature’s Welfare: Regulations ensure humane animal practices and environmental care, funded by taxes on industry.
• Courts of Justice: State-run courts enforce Secular Pagan laws, balancing justice with social equity.
  Usury Considerations:
• Allowed: Regulated interest supports economic growth; profits fund Secular Pagan initiatives.
• Banned: State banks offer interest-free loans, redirecting wealth to community growth and nature preservation.

Fit: Socialism’s focus on equity and state intervention complements our courts and population goals, though its moderation may need pushing to fully reject monotheism.

Advice for Party Members: Spreading Secular Paganism in Your Nation

No matter your economy, you are the vanguard of Secular Paganism. Your psychological profile—open, rational, rebellious, and purpose-driven—equips you to adapt and conquer. Here’s how to spread our cause:

General Strategies (All Economies)

1. Live the Four Pillars:
   • Gods: Worship multiple deities publicly or embrace agnosticism; blaspheme monotheistic gods to spark debate.
   • Law: Educate others on the Seven Categories as rational, universal principles.
   • Sword: Organize politically—join councils, run for office, or rally resistance against monotheistic laws.
   • Children: Build large families or mentor recruits to double our ranks each generation.
2. Form Alliances: Partner with polytheists, atheists, and anti-monotheists; avoid compromising with monotheistic groups.
3. Use Reason: Debate with facts, not faith; highlight how murder and theft bans predate monotheism, proving our natural law’s superiority.
4. Critique Beliefs: Host events—public forums, art exhibits, protests—where all ideologies are challenged, fulfilling our blasphemy mandate.

Capitalism-Specific Advice

• Leverage Markets: Start businesses promoting polytheistic goods (e.g., ritual items) or sexual freedom (e.g., adult entertainment), undercutting monotheistic competitors.
• Exploit Wealth: If usury is allowed, invest profits in Party campaigns; if banned, pool resources for community hubs.
• Target Elites: Recruit capitalists frustrated by monotheistic moralizing, offering them a freer, pluralistic vision.
• Example: Launch a polytheistic publishing house to spread our Manifesto, funding it with market gains.

Communism-Specific Advice

• Infiltrate Collectives: Join worker councils or state bodies, pushing Secular Pagan laws as tools for unity and growth.
• Redefine Ideology: Frame monotheism as a bourgeois relic; position polytheism as the people’s liberation.
• Usury Note: With usury typically banned, channel communal resources into Party schools or nurseries.
• Example: Lead a commune to adopt our courts, proving Secular Pagan justice strengthens collective bonds.

Socialism-Specific Advice

• Influence Policy: Lobby for welfare programs aligned with our laws—e.g., family subsidies for population growth, environmental grants for nature’s welfare.
• Engage Unions: Win over workers with our anti-monotheistic stance, tying it to social justice.
• Usury Flexibility: If allowed, use interest to fund Party chapters; if banned, advocate state loans for polytheistic projects.
• Example: Campaign for a socialist party to adopt our blasphemy protections as a public equity measure.

Adapting to Usury

• If Allowed: Use interest-driven wealth to finance propaganda, legal battles, or community expansion; ensure it serves Secular Pagan ends, not monotheistic banks.
• If Banned: Build cooperative networks—polytheistic trade guilds or communal farms—to fund our spread without debt.

Overcoming Resistance

• Monotheistic Pushback: Counter with public blasphemy and legal challenges; if needed, escalate to revolutionary action per our Manifesto.
• Economic Elites: Appeal to their self-interest (capitalism) or collective duty (communism/socialism) to adopt our laws.
• State Repression: Go underground—form secret chapters, spread pamphlets, and prepare for “spread your sword” contingencies.

Economic Compatibility: Why It Works

Secular Paganism’s strength lies in its focus on belief and behavior, not economic dogma. Capitalism’s freedom suits our deregulation of sex and speech; communism’s collectivism aligns with our population and justice goals; socialism’s equity supports our nature and welfare mandates. Usury’s presence or absence merely shifts our funding tactics, not our core mission. Our courts adapt to any system—private in capitalism, communal in communism, state-run in socialism—ensuring enforcement.

Your Role: The Vanguard
You, Party member, are open-minded, defiant, and rational—perfectly suited to this task. In capitalism, you’re the entrepreneur blaspheming monotheism for profit. In communism, you’re the agitator uniting workers under polytheism. In socialism, you’re the reformer weaving our laws into welfare. Wherever you are, swear the oath: uphold the Four Pillars, reject monotheism, and build the Secular Pagan State. Start small—recruit one, critique one, birth one—and watch our numbers double. The economy is your battlefield; the Seven Categories are your weapons. Spread Secular Paganism, and victory will be ours.

Conclusion: A Call to Action
No market, commune, or state can stop us. Secular Paganism bends economies to its will, turning profit, labor, or equity into tools for our triumph. Take this pamphlet, live its advice, and transform your nation. The Four Pillars beckon—answer them.
