Towards a More Perfect Bioconservative State
Towards a More Perfect Bioconservative State by "Jing Shur Hwang" (netizen of Vo Nguyen) 1st draft It is rather unfortunate that the current condition of the Jovian Republic would be interpreted as the vanguard of bioconservatism during these troubling times. Therefore, my colleagues and I have composed a modest set of suggestions which, when implemented, will clearly display the superiority of bioconservatism. Theocracy of Total Purity - It is no secret that the Jovian Republic is corrupt and has betrayed bioconservative ideals in the highest echelons of power. Therefore, it is necessary to institute a branch of government with veto power over all the others which is concerned solely with purity. This branch shall be above such petty concerns as wealth, lifespan, or power. Understanding the limitations of regimes such as turn-of-the-century Iran as well as the difficulties of the Papacy, the theocrats should have term limits of 20 years, with the possibility of other theocrats removing the leading one from office. Economy of Total Socialism - Individual accomplishment and individual wealth will inevitably encourage corruption. The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Therefore, it is only when working towards the holy goal of bioconservatism that corruption can truly be purged from our people. The delicious fruits of technology and science must be applied equally to all people, rather than being hoarded by the generals and oligarchs. Is the centralization of wealth and power not the initial motivation for those who created the TITANs? Consider also the exploitative hypercorporations, who practice slavery and indentured servitude, all for the sake of providing wealth to a select few so that they may modify their bodies in unwholesome ways. Government of Total Protectionism - Let us revisit the topic of hypercorporations, who own the majority of resources in the system. They try to achieve competitive advantages by developing ever-cheaper and ever-more-corrupt shells in which to imprison souls. They destroy the natural order of things by forcing men to be idle for the sake of profits. A true government must always work in the interests of providing for its people and ensuring that their economy is self-sufficient. It must structure institutions and economic activity in such a way that the pure untainted human is the fundamental component. Machines must serve man and not the other way around. Military of Total Defense - The desire to have an offensive advantage against thy neighbors is a significant component of why the TITANs were first created. This desire is also the primary driver for all manner of evil modifications, evil drugs, and evil shells. By focusing entirely on defensive operations and throwing away any silly notions of conquest, the military can thereby keep itself pure and untainted.

The time between what is today known as the 20th and 21st centuries. Also, the Supreme Court of the fallen USA effectively acted as a theocratic institution, determining morality according to the interpretations of a written code. It can even be considered a sort of success story for how a modern theocratic branch of government might work.
