By extension LRS can also stand for *[less retarded society](less_retarded_society.md)*, a kind of ideal society which we aim to achieve with our technology.
LRS is a set of ideas and a kind of a mindset, a philosophy, though it tries to not become a traditional movement or even something akin a centrally organized group; by [anarchist](anarchism.md) principles it sees following people and groups of people as harmful, it always advocates to only follow ideas and to associate loosely. Therefor it tries to only be a concept that will remain pure, such as for example that of [free software](free_software.md), but NOT an organization, such as for example the [FSF](fsf.md), which will always become corrupt.
## Definition
The definition here is not strict but rather [fuzzy](fuzzy.md), it is in a form of ideas, style and common practices that together help us subjectively identify software as less retarded.

LRS is connected to pretty specific political beliefs, but it's not a requirement to share those beliefs to create LRS or be part of the community centered around LRS technology. We just think that it doesn't make logical sense to support LRS and not the politics that justifies it and from which it is derived, but it's up to you to verify this.

With that said, the politics behind LRS is an [idealist](idealism.md) [anarcho pacifist](anpac.md) [communism](communism.md), but NOT [pseudoleftism](pseudoleftism.md) (i.e. we do not support political correctness, [COC](coc.md)s, [cancel culture](cancel_culture.md), Marxism-Leninism etc.). In our views, goals and means we are similar to the [Venus project](venus_project.md), even though we may not agree completely on all points. We are not officially associated with any other project or community. **We [love](love.md) all [living beings](life.md)** (not just people), even those who cause us pain or hate us, we believe love is the only way towards a good society -- in this we follow similar philosophy of nonviolence that was preached by [Jesus](jesus.md) but without necessarily being religious, we simply think it is the only correct way of a mature society to behave nonviolently and lovingly towards everyone. We do NOT have any leaders or [heroes](hero_culture.md); people are imperfect and giving some more power, louder voices or greater influence creates hierarchy and goes against anarchism, therefore we only follow ideas. We aim for true social (not necessarily physical) equality of everyone, our technology helps everyone equally. We reject [competition](competition.md) as a basis of society and anti-equality means such as violence, [fights](fight_culture.md), bullying ([cancelling](cancel_culture.md) etc.), [censorship](censorship.md) ([political correctness](political_correctness.md) etc.), [governments](government.md) and [capitalism](capitalism.md). We support things such as [universal basic income](ubi.md) (as long as there exist money which we are however ultimately against), [veganism](veganism.md) and [slow movement](slow_movement.md). We highly prefer peaceful [evolution](evolution.md) to [revolution](revolution.md) as revolutions tend to be violent and have to be [fought](fight_culture.md) -- we do not intend to push any ideas by force but rather to convince enough people to a voluntary change.
