= Axionism =

Axionism is a political philosophy that comes as an offshoot of Anarchist and Communist thought. It is characterised by the main principles of: Democracy, Humanism, Ecology, Progressivism, and sometimes Trans-Humanism. The writers of the de facto Axionist Manifesto, known as Self and Society, Abraham Abrams and el-Aurens Ximenis consider "Individual liberty and collective equality" to be the maxim of the movement. Axionism has ideas which encompasses social organisation, economic structures, and ideas on morality. The main influences of the philosophy seem to come from the Post-Marxist thought of Murray Bookchin, some ideas from Max Stirner, Kropotkin, Proudhon, Bakunin, as well as the schools of thought of "Humanism" and "Insurrectionary Anarchism". Generally speaking, Axionism holds pragmatism as an important tenet of the ideology as Axionism is founded on what could be considered situationalist relativism. They place Marxist thought as rigid, and stuck in the 19th century industrial european context. Axionism is said to give each individual the tools to think for themselves in a way that is beneficial to themself, but simultaneously helpful for society. There is no code of ethics for Axionists, like Egoists and Nihilists they create it for themselves, however the underlying strata of moral thinking comes from a certain ideological morality.

Origins of the Name
Axionism not only comes from the last initials of its theorists (Abrams and Ximenis), but the original name comes from "Adaptive Crossbred Elasticism".

Adaptive refers to the ability for the philosophy to be applied in multiple cultural and societal contexts, not just the 19th century industrial settings that Marx had in mind when we worked towards a philosophy of his own. Crossbred refers to how the ideology is a combination of several existing ideologies that may or may not have been configured in such a way before. It takes parts of previous philosophies that are seemingly compatible and tries to reconcile them. Elasticism refers to how we see society as constantly changing, and how in the post-capitalist society, we should consider our own communities for ourselves and that society should remain elastic in order for us to move from place to place.
