What is Velgian Essentialism?

Before we start, we want to inform you that this article may have some grammatical errors. There are also some mistakes in the use of the words “Essential”, “Veldergen” and some others. This article is intended for a large audience, but due to the fact that our terms change very often, we are forced to distribute this article as an art house.
We also wrote a short summary and explanation at the end of the article.

Velgian Essentialism is a political ideology separate from the “classical” political system. This Essentialism, in a narrow and simple sense, is only an ideal world for people to live — no more than 20 “huge” countries with a world government, the population of the planet (maximum “civilized”) should be no more than 2 billion people, a decrease in agglomerations, creation of cities for different groups of people, as well as common goals — the exploration and colonization of space.

With or without Essentialism, people are divided into two main castes. Now they are called “civilized” and “uncivilized” persons.

The Humanity Index is an ideology that supports the principle of segregation — people are divided into civilized and uncivilized. The latter include superfluous people and workers for the civilized. These are people of the right classical views, as well as some leftists (racists, neo-Nazis, conservatives, SJW, liberals, communists, anarchists; perhaps now all people who support the classical system will be uncivilized, but those who advocate Essentialism will be civilized people).

It is also the coefficient of humanity. It is calculated based on data about a person (political views, basic knowledge of science, creativity). The coefficient is called a “Rack”, there are 27 (or 30). If a person already has 13 such racks, then he is a developing person (that is, he passes the stage from uncivilized to civilized or vice versa), if 16–20 racks — then civilized, more than 22 — highly civilized.

Essential world

For the normal development of human civilization, it is necessary to have only a few huge countries and a single world government (thus, Essentialism, as it were, imposes world order), while any group of people can find their own micro-country (micronation) inside a huge country. The world government is the UN, any civilized person can become the representative of the world government or the representative of our planet through world elections. At the same time, in huge countries, there must be from 2 to 6 representatives (example: the Velgian family, 4 people).

The maximum number of civilized people on the planet should be about 2 billion. Civilized people already have a basic house, furniture, equipment and monthly payments in local currency (read about currencies below). They themselves choose whether they will work and personally develop (for this they are raised some privileges and given more opportunities). Contemporary culture and art, as well as science, should be highly valued in the world.

Uncivilized people have two choices — either they change their worldview and begin to develop, or they will serve civilized people. The level of cruelty towards uncivilized people is chosen by the Essential Parties — utopians* (lefts) give equal rights to everyone, dystopists* (rights) deprive uncivilized people of the right to vote and other basic rights.

The political spectrum in Essentialism

There are two main parties: The Lefts and the Rights. The Lefts includes the newest Anarchists, the newest Communists, as well as the Singlists and Transhumanists. The leftist party is committed to equal rights (or near-equal rights) between civilized and uncivilized people. The Rights includes gender parties, the newest conservatives, Humanists and those who support the Veldergen inequality. The right party is extremely aggressive towards uncivilized people. These parties replace each other every year (one year — Lefts, another year — Rights), the rule of one particular party is prohibited. There are also Centrists — a mixture of Lefts and Right or the newest liberals. If in our time there is a confrontation between conservatives/fascists with liberals/communists, then in Essentialism there is a cold war between Humanists and Transhumanists.

Economics in Essentialism

Essentialism can combine Communism and Capitalism at the same time, or else — one year all people live under communism, and another year — under capitalism. However, if every civilized person has basic real estate and benefits, then this can be considered Communism. At the same time, there is a free market in the world, and this is considered Capitalism. People themselves choose which economic system they live in.
Currencies are very few. There is no single world currency, there will be only 20–30 currencies. At the same time, they can be used to pay in various huge countries and micro-states.

Education in Essentialism**

The education system / program may differ in different regions, but there is a certain foundation: from the age of 6 people need to attend school, at the age of 9 you can choose individual subjects and from the same age you need lessons in sex education, advanced sciences and spiritual education (optional). From the age of 13 (in Essentialism, this is the age of sexual consent and majority), you can already choose to teach the necessary profession. From the age of 16, you can enter the next stage — New higher education or additional courses and training in professions.

Social life in Essentialism

All people (civilized and developing) have equal rights and freedoms. From birth, people are virtually micro-chipped using Vimea Mariana technologies (i.e., from birth a person has his ID, the program remembers new data of a person throughout his life), from the age of 13 a person has the same rights and freedoms as people after 18 years old in the classical system.
Subcultures and groups of people (up to gender, ethnic, tastes and views) have the right to found their city / micronation only for those who adhere to their culture and interests.

The Veldergen Community and the Veldergen Micronation are currently the first to use this ideology.

*We started writing this article in August 2020, then we got tired of it. Several months later, some terms and concepts have lost their relevance. Now utopians and dystopists do not exist. This Essentialism has been renamed Velgian Essentialism or Velder Essentialism. Perhaps this name will be changed soon too.

This article is only needed for a small introduction to the culture of the Veldergen community. Essentialism is only an ideal world. It is easier to use the Humanity Index these days. Everything that is described here can only be applied to Veldergen. Even within our community, there is great disagreement about this.

**As for Education in the era of Essentialism, this is also a controversial issue. We do not know how this can be presented to you. And we don’t know if this can be done in the real world.

The Veldergen Community is looking for designers, artists, musicians, authors and developers to create the new Vimea and Vimea Mariana. You can contact us on Facebook or Twitter.

Also, the first elections to Veldergen Micronation will take place in mid-December.
