List of Political Ideologies

A political ideology is a certain set of ethical ideals, principles, doctrines, myths or symbols of a social movement, institution, class, or large group that explains how society should work and offers some political and cultural blueprint for a certain social order.

However, ideologies are often poorly defined or articulated, and can vary substantially according to political, cultural, and economic conditions. Many lack a clear structure, and exist primarily as an expression of power or in opposition to another set of ideas.

Reactionary Ideologies
Reactionary ideologies tend to enshrine the necessity of order, tradition, and centralized authority, positioning themselves as bulwarks against the perceived instability of liberalism and destructive revolution.

As German boots once again march on Paris in 1945 for the third time in a century, many wonder if this would signify the victory of the Reactionaries and a return to the old order.

Authoritarian Democracy


"As the world slowly turns to turmoil and chaos, there is a consensus that a strong, centralized leadership is needed, to provide security, stability, and most importantly, to keep chaos at arm's length, far away from the average citizen. It is a proven fact that Man, regardless of his socio-economic status, desire security more than liberty. After all, how can you cherish freedom if the world you live in is in chaos? How can freedom be tangible if you are murdered in cold blood for the murderer had the freedom to do so? As Hobbes puts it, a strong, centralized authority is not only respected, it is a necessity of daily life. That isn't to say we shall ride the road to Autocracy, that is nonsensical and will cause uproar. What the people need is a strong leader, one that can ensure their safety, while keeping in line with the Democratic system. Fear is necessary, for without fear, there is no consequence."

Paternal Autocracy


"Any astute member of society can safely conclude that we Humans are incapable of proper reason and logic, for we are rebellious, defiant of authority, and confused as to who we truly are. However, we Humans are societal beings, we cannot live without a society, for without a society, we are paving our roads to destruction. Within a society, there are many institutions that bind it together, but the most important is the family system. Family is the most basic form of society, and that is what we should strive for. We need a fatherly figure, a messiah, a shepherd that will guide its people to greatness, all following cohesively and without dissent. We require guidance, and the Autocrat above shall guide us to the right ways, to the right tradition, to the right values and philosophies. Conformity is key, and defiance is not a word in the vocabulary of this society, much like everyone else who tries to defy the system and its shepherd."

National Populism


"Every day, nations all around the world lavish their strength and luxury, feeling as if they were the true masters of the world, and that it is their solemn duty to lord over the weak as if it was their birth right. Many foreigners have a deep sense of national pride for their country, loving it to the bitter end, regardless of how cruel and merciless they are. Us, we are nothing. Our citizens loathe our country, our national identity, even suggesting to open our arms to these foreigners who do nothing but exploit and enslave. Our nation can no longer sit idly by, as foreigners belittle our nation as if we were nothing more than ants. By the grace of our gods, we shall uproot and destroy the established order, and we shall rise up and take our rightful place in the world. Whether through paper or through bullet, we will win, no matter the cost."

Subideologies: Integralism, National Renewal, Religious Extremism

Liberal Ideologies
Liberal ideologies tend to espouse democratic pluralist values, emphasizing the necessity of popular consent and equality before the law. States established along liberal lines will always contain one or more elected legislative bodies, but the organization of government, implementation of economic policy, and attitudes toward social reforms vary widely.

The resurgence of the Entente powers and the mostly successful Homecoming has led to a rise in Liberalism in the world, with its leading force Canada ready to oppose radicalism wherever it stands.

Social Democracy


"Many throughout the political spectrum call for "Full" Capitalism or "Full" Socialism, yet many haven't considered the possibility of fusing the two opposing ideologies. How can we humans be so short-sighted, so short-minded, that we haven't considered to fuse these two ideologies into one, cohesive ideology, combining the best of both worlds, and sacrificing only its drawbacks. We humans have been ravaged by war and suffering, due to our ideological differences and our increasing polarization of every single issue in our nation. It is time we move past these wars of ideology, past these meaningless conflicts with one another, and converge under a single goal - A Worker's Paradise Fuelled by the Capitalist system."

Subideologies: Democratic Socialism, Progressive Longism

Revolutionary Republican


"Do you know what a King and a Kaiser have in common? They rule over their domains like Kings and Gods, using their henchmen as puppets for power. The Kaiser utilizes his uncontested power and authority to rule over the Kaiserreich with an iron fist, mercilessly and recklessly, that they have been tarnished by a preventable war, if not for his selfish and short-sighted ambitions in Europe. The King-Emperor may give way to parliamentarism, he may "limit" his power and relegate himself as a mere figurehead. But, the King-Emperor is just as autocratic as the Kaiser, just that he knows how to truly rule, by using Democracy and perverting it in his name. After all, the men and women swear loyalty not to Britain, but to the Crown. It is time that we change that, no longer shall we be ruled by Gods, Kings, and Tyrants. There shall no longer be a higher power than ourselves, for WE are the higher power, the only power. Man should only be ruled by itself, not by a Tyrant."

Social Liberalism


"Freedom, Liberty, and Individualism are the living embodiment and inalienable right of the human individual. The human being has striven to live freely, with neither prejudice nor detainment from a higher authority. It doesn't matter if you have a darker skin colour than us, it doesn't matter if you love someone that is of your same sex, it doesn't matter if you are disabled by defections in your body, it doesn't matter if you preach a different God than ours. What matter is that we are all human, defined by tolerance of others who are different than us. We are unique with one another, conformity is nothing but a roadblock to freedom, collectivism is nothing more than the end of free thought. And by our will, we shall light the fire that burns brightly on the torch of Lady Liberty. We ourselves are the masters of our fate, not the society we live in."

Market Liberalism


"The market is the true gauge of economic freedom. More importantly, is how we are able to use the market. To know if you have freedom, ask yourself these three questions: Can you run your business without hindrance from unsavory regulation? Can you place a competitive price on your product without being fixed by the government's outlandish price controls? Can you conduct business competitively and can your fellow competitors do the same, without being hindered by government-sponsored conglomerates? These are the questions you have to ask yourself if you truly live in a system based on Laissez-faire. Economic freedom is the true meaning of freedom, for without it, you can't possibly strive for social and political change. After all, wealth is power, and if the citizens aren't equally given the opportunity to enter the market economy, the citizens have no power nor authority to change their structure of government."

Subideologies: National Liberalism

Social Conservatism


"At every corner of the political spectrum, everyone wants to change the status-quo, to replace our system and create anew without considering consequence and context. Why change what is already working? Why risk political upheaval and social uprising just to "reform" and "revolutionize". There is clearly no basis to change tradition, for it is the epitome of stability. We have lived for a long life, keeping with the social reforms that we have, and there is no necessity to change this. This isn't to say that reform isn't needed, reform is the foundation of our society, as it is our innate ability to adapt to the changing whims of the globe. However, we must do it moderately, as a slow and steady pace, for haste can topple our entire society down the drain."

Revolutionary Ideologies
Revolutionary ideologies aim to replace the political, economic, and/or social status quo in their respective countries, often but not exclusively by force. Countries where this transition is underway, or has already been achieved, tend to exhibit socialist characteristics, where wealth inequality and distinctions between class are narrowed or eliminated entirely, though their implementation varies considerably.

These ideologies are also marked by a common but not universal, belief that their revolutionary aims ought to be realized on a global scale, rather than at a purely national level.

The collapse of the Third Internationale in the Second Weltkrieg has led to a shunning of such an ideology and many question if the flames of the Revolution have truly been dimmed out.

Authoritarian Socialism


"The worker is the beating heart and soul of the revolution, for he shall reap the rewards once the Capitalist pigs fall down from their pedestals at the top of the hill, lording over the workers with their chains and whips, mercilessly enslaving them to their last breath. However, many call us as "radicals" and "terrorists" for our actions to defend the revolution and the worker's of the world. Our methods may be unorthodox, they may be deadly, they may kill thousands and even millions of citizens all throughout the world. But let me ask you this question: Do you think the Capitalists gained their power without bloodshed? Do you think that they won their place in the sun fairly and justly, like the Kings and Kaisers who rule over like Gods? The foundation of the Capitalist system is forged through the blood of the masses, and only by shedding blood, can we truly liberate the worker's of the world..."

Radical Socialism


"The centuries before were nothing but acts of terror against the worker's of the world, using them to build skyscrapers that they could never own, build mansions that they couldn't be housed in, mine minerals that they cannot capitalize. The worker shouldn't be locked like this, the worker deserves to be free, liberated from the chains of Capitalism. Yet, our more extremist brothers believe that we must be ruthless as the Capitalists, we must be monsters like the Capitalists. Fighting fire with fire is a childish and futile methodology, and we must be better than the Capitalists. That isn't to say that we are intolerable of blood being shed, we do admit that the Capitalists won't go down without a fight. But, if we are to tear down the Capitalist system, we must do it moderately, slowly, and ultimately, with as little sacrifice from our workers. After all, why liberate them if they shall die for our wars?"
