Vision for 'Telosa' Based on Equitism

Lore's project to build a new city, Telosa, is founded on the principle of 'Equitism,' which focuses on wealth redistribution and community ownership of land, a model often criticized by MAGA-aligned economic populists as globalist or socialist.

Agent rationale

The ideological framework of Telosa emphasizes social safety nets and collective ownership, which contrasts with the MAGA movement's emphasis on deregulation and individualist capitalism.
