Gambler Illegalism (Also called Alexi-ism/Alexiaism) is an Individualist, Hyper-Libertarian, Centre-Left ideology founded by Alexi/Alexia Wheeler (Jake_Innit) in the UK as a more personal branch of Rosengiled Egoism. Alexi himself has been a semi-regular player of organised card games for a few years, and regularly places bets with his friends for things such as Money, Food, Drinks, and favours. The phrase "You Wanna Bet?" is a regular phrase in Alexi's Vocabulary. Gambler Illegalism advocates for the complete freedom of all individuals to do whatever they please, and believes that gambling carries no moral responsibility behind it, so long as you are not inconveniencing the will of another individual that you care for. Gambler Illegalism doesn't believe in morals, but strictly abides by the "Gamblers Code".

The Gamblers Code

The Gamblers Code consists of 10 "rules" (More...Guidelines) that Gamblers Illegalism and Alexi Himself believes that one should follow. They Consist of the following:

1. Pay your debts (Especially those made by gambling), And never bet more than you can pay.

2. Cheat in life, but never in a game of cards. life ain't fair, cards should be.

3. Treat those you care for well. split any money you make gambling with your partner and comrades.

4. Don't smoke, but if you're gonna, share your smokes with those at the table.

5. Never be scared to make a bet.

6. Never back out of a bet, even if you know you'll lose.

7. Don't be flashy/loud. An experienced gambler keeps calm under pressure.

8. Make love not war. Unless folks cheat you or stab you in the back. then raise hell.

9. Always stay armed. Gambling gets rough, folks get angry, having a knife is handy.

10. Be humble. Never brag about winning, or it'll come back to bite you.

Praxis

As its name suggests, Gambler Illegalism likes gambling. In fact, this is one of its main praxis. Gambling and winning money from folks is one of the most efficient methods for making money without the states influence. Gambler Illegalists also enjoy crime such as theft, Racketeering, smuggling, making shady deals, and anything else viewed to be in ones individual interest.

Making shady deals "Under the table" has been something that Alexi themself has made use of in daily life. The first "Shady" deals Alexi made were dealing for cigarettes with their friends. after Alexi quit smoking, this evolved into selling vapes that they were given for profit and creating fake report cards for students with bad grades (For a small fee of course). seeing the value in making deals "under the table" made it a key theme in Alexi's illegalist philosophy.

To Gamble On Human Life

"Human Life Has No Intrinsic Value. Even My Own Is Worth Nothing To The Universe, So Why Not Have Fun With The Time I Have?" - Alexi Wheeler (The Eternally Free).

To the illegalist, self interest is key. so would the individual be willing to gamble the lives of those that mean nothing to them away? of course they would! Hell, I'd be willing to bet my own life to help someone I care for, so why should the lives of others that hold no meaning within my soul be held to any better standard?

The Soul

The human mind allows the soul to experience itself in a more sentient and fluid manner than with a less sentient being like a dog. The soul being able to fully experience itself is an amazing thing, it creates a true desire for freedom. After a debate with Anarcha_Nica, I (Alexi) have been able to pin my anarchical ideals to the desire for freedom that developed within my soul after living with an incredibly possessive mother for the majority of my life. My soul’s desire for freedom from the constraints of narcissistic possessiveness on account of my mother developed, over years, into a burning desire for freedom from all hierarchy, both willing and not. Nica, for her part, has helped develop my ideas into a more fluid and concise system, and I owe much of what I write to my conversations with her, and for that, I owe her many thanks.

I'd even be willing to say that much of my belief in the soul comes from these conversations. My souls desire to be free from all constraints of authority and hierarchy is what led me to enjoy gambling initially. Making money playing cards was fun, freeing, and out-of-site from the authorities that be. I would probably also consider gambling to be the first illegalist action undertaken by me, gambling being forbidden in the UK until the age of 19.

Connections

Its always good to have connections. friends in low places and the like. As an illegalist, i find its always good to have these 4 types of people around:

1. Someone that can get ahold of contraband/prohibited items. always good to be able to get your hands on something you aren't supposed to have.

2. A partner that you trust with your life. Sure, its good to act as an individual, but having a partner to assist you if shit hits the fan is always smart.

3. Someone that can fake signatures/forge documents. I myself am good at this, and its assisted me in getting into places/out of things that I don't wish to be associated with.

4. Someone that is willing to get in trouble for you. Why take punishment when someone will do it for you?

Enjoyment

The point of life is to enjoy it, However you may extract that enjoyment. People that follow this ideology probably extract joy from gambling, stealing and the like. But one should extract enjoyment however they deem fit. I (Alexi) find enjoyment in Writing, Drinking, Talking with those I care for, and singing random songs with my comrades, just to name a few things. But every individual is himself unique, and will have their own method to extract joy from life. The individual should live themselves out, and the worry of how the world may fair due to their actions aught not be a worry in the mind of the Individualist.

On The Rosengilde

The Rosengilde is a "Union Of Egoists" set up by Alexi and 3 friends in the UK in late 2022. Each member of the group holds their own Anarchical views, but occasionally unite as individuals under the label of "Rosengilde Egoism" for the sake of meetings and such. Following the start of 2023, The Rosengilde haven't been able to meet as a unit due to 2 members being away due to injury, and as such, has (For Now) withdrawn from the local political scene around Alexi's hometown.

The Founder

This Ideology was founded by Alexi Wheeler (Me!). An Egoist Anarchist Student, Writer, Poet And Criminal Advocate from the UK. Alexi was born in 2007 and grew up around heavily right-wing ideas all throughout his young childhood. Upon realising They Were Bi(And later Omni)sexual, and genderfluid, they began to pull away from the right wing and became incredibly anarchical in a short period of time upon seeing the treatment that people like them received from right wingers that claimed to be “family oriented”. Alexi regularly talks with his partner, one Anarcha_Nica (Founder of Illegalist-Soulism), about gender struggles, criminality, and ideal anarchy. Alexi regularly writes papers, letters, and documents for people and for people that they associate with and to people important to their own self interested goals. Alexi has been described as Outgoing, Calm, And sometimes miserable.
