post-Idealism

Share definition
In essence, an ideal compromise. Though retaining idealism, it is put into a democratic context, where opposing views have opposing ideals.
Person A: I want to go shopping first.
Person B: I want to eat first.
Person A: Let's go to David Jones. I can shop, and you can sit in the food hall, and help me choose what to buy while you eat.
Person B: post-Idealism!

Russian idealism

Share definition
Argues for a state religion to keep scapegoating institutionalized.

Views secularism and liberalism as a mass distribution of the scapegoating impulse.
Russian idealism views democracy as a mass distribution of the scapegoating impulse.

It pushes for a state church, state infrastructure, and mecha-pagan aesthetics (in a Soviet context) to consolidate scapegoating.

A paradigm in which prime cavitations are spaced uniformly-enough on a discrete surface to create an electromagnetic force.

The prime numbers are placed evenly enough to make the discrete surface frictionless.
Pan-metric idealism suggests a surface-area in which uncountable prime-cavitations are spaced ideally so as to create a frictionless plane.

The spinning that creates this frictionless plane also creates the electromagnetic force.

Armchair idealist

Share definition
There are three types of people in the world: people who care, people who couldn't care less, and armchair idealists. Armchair idealists are by far the most annoying. These people love to comment and criticise others' appalling behaviour yet refrain from actually moving from their seats and doing something about it. This can commonly apply to issues such as the environment, world peace, starving children, etc.

idéaliste-équilibré

Share definition
idéaliste-équilibré or Idealistic-balanced economy. Its primary focuss is so to ensure that all members within society are able to afford those essential items necessary for the sustaining of a good quality of life and thus by doing so deviate the prospect for both the manifestation of hunger and homelessness, but also greed and excessiveness from within society.

The attributes of (idéaliste-équilibré) economy :

1- The total and complete opposing of all interference, restrictions or regulations over the economy by any single body, rather it be a private or state entity.

2- The economy, must at all times lie exclusively in the hands and control of the people at the individual level. In that the value and worth of produce and labour, must always be determined by those individuals within society who are the actual producers and laborers and not by the state or the private sector.

3- The adherence to the idealistic social moral and ethical boundaries, guidelines and considerations with regards to the moral economy system, in relation with the fair price principle, while preserving the profit concept.

4- The utilising all aspects of the economy solely for essential means, as opposed to the procuring of materialistic monetary gain and profit. As is the case with all Capitalistic and even the Laissez-faire free market system.
idéaliste-équilibré economy, is the only hope so to deviate corruption, greed, excessive hoarding of materialistic wealth and consequently poverty from within society.

idealistic

One who believes that life should be lived as they like. Many hippies and hermits were idealistic, only this is only a portion. Morals may interfere with total idealism, especially if certain things were instilled in one as a child as being "bad". This results in guilt for doing "wrong" things, although some are able to overcome this and live their life to the fullest they think is possible.
Screw my condescending parents and their morals, I'm idealistic and don't want to be a mindless, robotic fool that conforms to every new trend!

idealist

Share definition
Someone who thinks everyone should think like them, and that how they think is absolute.
They are more likely to be called "delusional", even when they are right sometimes. They are also someone who's bound to be disappointed in the whole world after they give up on their endless pursuit of changing the world, even if their intentions are most noble. They are prone to using substances for coping up with the harsh reality they live in because it cripples their soul when they can't do anything about it.

The average person can't survive as a 100% idealist. Some amount of realism must be adopted. Otherwise you're just a hippy.
For instance,

I'm not an idealist when I'm writing this definition.
