Pseudo-idealism 

- The strategy of participating in the pursuit for ideality for one’s self, by behaving in an apparent charitable manner, with underlying selfish intentions to validate and reinforce ones sence of self.

This is a false state of idealism because to behave “charitably” is to put on an act or facade. It is “do good to feel good” behavior. It’s a form of dogma, not understanding, therefore it is a false state of idealism.
Political correctness is a form of pseudo-idealism, because it advocates for people to be dishonest or ‘dumb-down’ words and opinions in order to not offend individuals.”

organic idealism 

noun

Organic idealism acknowledges the relevance of the material world but only as an expressive attribute of substance, and that it is substance that which holds a primary, and its material or expressive attribute only secondary value. Just as is the case in the natural world, where all material or physical properties in nature are expressions of the core essence of what is natures substance which is defined by energy, and as such in the case of the material world created by man, these are in turn also the expressions of man's ideas and therefore mans inner substance.
organic idealism maintains that the material world found in nature such as Mountains and Trees etc. constitute the expressive attributes of natures substance, energy. Wherefore hold but only secondary value, and natures to natures substance primary.

Equalist Idealism 

The economic ideology of Equalist Socialism in which the economy is run by the government, where inheritance is outlawed, and where jobs are paid based on their contribution to society. As K. S. Lukas, “Equalist Idealism can be summarized in these words: Prohibit all inheritance, to preserve equal opportunity.” Equal opportunity economics is commonly confused with equal outcome economics. The main difference between equal opportunity and equal outcome is these two questions: What status does one have when they are born? and What status does one have when they die? Equal outcome economics ensure that “everyone” dies with the same status while equal opportunity economics ensures that whilst every member of the society starts with the same status, they will end up with different statuses at the time of their death based on their work ethic. This is the difference between Communism and Equalist Socialism.
What is Equalist Idealism?

It is an extremely capitalistic ideology where everyone, regardless of prior status, race, ethnicity, or gender start at zero and gain status in their society based solely on their own work ethic.
