Socialism cannot stand without scaffold, and as most socialist analysis claim, socialism is supported by the vanguard of the ideology, no other than the workers for which the tenets of socialism works for. II. This is why, in order for socialism to work, there should be a change of the scaffold, for the vanguard and scaffold of socialism are not the workers alone, but by the presence of two important factors III. The first of which is a strong framework of economy, being vital. Socialism first and foremost should be supported by a free and healthy economy, not by an economy under command IV. That is why, free enterprise is required in order to make sure socialism works. Fiscal limitations of economy shall be minimal to the point that all goods would be free V. Limitations include those that harm the populace, or is dependent upon the will of morality, or by the arms of justice VI. The second is the presence of people, who have expertise on different fields. With the entrance of this, we have entertained the technocratic thought VII. Aside from the perceived evidence of efficiency and reduced corruption due to meritocratic, in lieu of bureaucratic appointment, balance of power is now dependent on the sortition of times VIII. With this in mind, the other tenets supplemental to the maintenance of such a system should have these as such IX. The presence of opposition as control against authoritarianism and regulator on the balance of power. X. The decentralization of decision to further make the government work efficiently, making sure that all decisions would move forward without much consultation with central government XI. Dissolution of a parliament or congress upon escalation to elected post is only good when such is done out of necessity and when such is allowed legally. XII. Ideological freedom, and freedom of speech is necessary for the technocracy to flourish, and for socialism to progress XIII. Adherence of this system and ideology is necessary to make sure that the system and its tenets remain intact XIV. Some may claim that certain countries have done this, but without officiation comes deviation. A nation without a clear goal and advocacy will someday lose its current perks XV. It is also important that a leader must know how to conduct his or her own affairs, be it state, private, or fiscal for the framework of role and example is upon a leader XVI. As such, a leader should always have an opponent worthy of opposing the frivolousness of excess power, and as test of skill and his leadership XVII. Further, one should think to exhaust all options in order to make sure the transition to a system as such would be with solid foundation XVIII. Further, if revolution, the last of the option had been used, the reform of the revolution, alongside the foundation of its ideals, is necessary XIX. Thus, the revolution should have a second revolution, which would reform archaic standards of such a crude form of pure socialism XX. Thus, the system shall be called a reformed technocratic socialist system, and the same can be said on the movement. XXI. The suggestion of Marx to a violent revolution for overthrowing as a necessity to instate socialism is a blatant attack to pragmatism, and therefore is reckless XXII. The suggestion of gradualists and reformists to install the system is crude and inefficient XXIII. Therefore, both shall be considered in order to make firm the decision, and the transition to be efficient XXIV. Therefore, the power of the people through election on a democratic society shall be reinforced to follow the people's will XXV. It should also be finalized that the basis of communism and most of socialist-aligned ideologies should be gone away with, especially the dictatorship of the proletariat and the ownership of state XXVI. For reiteration, such is a necessity in order to sustain the socialist policies and the system proposed as a whole XXVII. To make it clear and to remove probable confusion, the system does not align with gradualism, nor does it believe in revolutionary overthrow XXVIII. To further make it clear, socialism is foundational on the levels of social benefit but not on controlling if socialism is the order of the day or not. XXIX. Therefore clarifying that the approach should be pragmatic, and only a firm decision can be attained by virtue of the times, as such, a revolution of widely accepted, and gradualism if not, or other approach which can be clarified by such a group of people, or a society XXX. Another note to clarify is that no one should be master of the masses, nor should one be an image of progress XXXI. Therefore concluding that the nation should always be intact in the goal of the progress XXXII. The stipulation, however that man is the master of his own destiny, is open for interpretation. However, it is not similar to saying that a man should lead all of these (not a gender, but rather as a stereotype that socialism focuses on the leader as the champion of socialism.) XXXIII. Therefore stipulating that the destiny of the nation, is the people XXXIV. However, if the masses desire to instate a champion of the system, or ideology, they can do so but only on general consensus without coercion or manipulation XXXV. For freedom is paramount, and so are rights XXXVI. This is also to say, in regards to legalism, the law is the verdict of the people, and let legalism be the language of the bar alone. If need be however, that the people wills change, so be it XXXVII. For the will of the people will only be poisoned by disagreement, and is a venom to nations dearing stability XXXVIII. Another non-negotiable principle is secularism. A leader may remain faithful to his or her religion, but to be a part of religion defies justice on a legal outlook XXXIX. Therefore solidly speaking, the nation be strictly secular, and the separation of state and religion shall be final XL. Therefore meaning that religion should not mess with state, and vice versa XLI. However, a citizen regardless of faith, is bound by law. If there is clear bound on law, therefore the person-in-question, be it that he or she is a prominent of his or her faith, shall still be under the bounds of law XLII. Regarding Press, no doubt it should be free, however the reservation is that if they spread lies, they can, too, control the people's mindset XLIII. Therefore, there must be a set to make sure the boundaries are to be respected in the sighting of the press XLIV. Regarding Unions, it is a complete necessity to fight against abuses of a corporation. For the outstanding truth is if there is no union, there is no challenge against any authoritarian might of a corporation. XLV. On a note, corporations are a necessity as well, however abuses of a corporation is not a necessity. Therefore, a nation and the system must care for corporations, albeit with regulation XLVI. Therefore, Unions must be a perceived control against corporation. For what is an individual fighting for his or her rights, while it is being blocked by a group of senior officeholders on a certain corporation to keep intact their profit? XLVII. Unions are a way to group the workers to fight for a common right, and it will be a fair negotiation against a big corporation, or even those medium-sized ones. XLVIII. Regarding Work, it is necessary to make sure that a worker is competent, but on basis of pragmatism, the socialist framework cannot alone provide the worker the proper competency XLIX. However, it is not to say that entirely capitalist systems are provisionary of what the workers desire L. While the socialist system promotes equality, it is not viable at an economic standpoint. Promotions, subsidies, welfare and competition are all necessary to make sure there is a healthy economy, and a healthy market LI. Therefore, as earlier stipulated on the fundamentals of Reformed Technocratic Socialist thought, Work should always be seen as a factor of economic development, for in this microeconomic scale can you only see a better macroeconomic view. LII. For you cannot see an ant carrying food unless you go near it, and check for yourself. LIII. Regarding Free Enterprise, there are several things that the government should intervene in, especially with the systems. One example is to regulate monopoly. Monopoly will always equate to lesser living standards, control pricing, low quality, and such. It is then necessary to regulate this. LIV. It is also necessary to upkeep the free enterprise in the name of progress and of the presence of rights. With proper sustenance, it results into people recognizing the need for more rights, and they will be able to achieve them through means that is similar to what this thought provides. LV. Such as, as earlier mentioned, all options must be exhausted before going to the last option, which is revolutionary overthrow. LVI. Free enterprise in the name of progress will usher a realm where there is the competition for a better pricing and quality. In other words, a libertarian economic model is necessary to support socialist policies. LVII. However, the government, if it has the capacity to do so, should compete in the market to provide for its funding, alongside taxation. That way, the government will be able to minimally intervene with the economy, and will, in practice know more of the environment of the markets. LVIII. This is however surmounted that there might be a possibility of mismanagement, but in a technocratic society, where the right people is placed at the right position, this is only minimally possible. LIX. It is however now up to the vigilance of those with true sense of service to save the wealth, and the people in general without expecting exchange except for their compensations they have received. For them, true honor and reward should be reciprocated. LX. Thus, so far, the Reformed Technocratic Socialist thought supports the welfare of socialism, the liberation of economy, the expertise of technocracy, and the problem-solving of pragmatism. LXI. Thus, so far, the Reformed Technocratic Socialist thought finds an enemy on the economic model of a Marxist state, the crude bureaucratic appointment, fanaticism, religion-state interconnection, and the leadership model of Marxism. LXII. For why take away the necessity? It is clear that such enemies would like to kill the nation, and not spread the proper internationalist thought that is compatible among nations. LXIII. And thus ends here, but the struggle for a better system shall not be over. There may be discourses at a later date, that which there may be oppositions to the idea. Thus, unlike the Marxists and other Marxist-aligned ideologies, discourse and reform shall be open, for the Reformed Technocratic Socialist thought shall never waver progress and reform, and forever be its reform.
