Yellow Socialism

Yellow Socialism is an economically centre-left, civically up-leaning and culturally right-leaning ideology created by French politician Pierre Biétry as a reaction to "red socialism" which was growing prominent in Europe during the late 19th century. This form of socialism is characterized by unions working with groups of businesses, with workers having a greater profit through negotiations between unions and business groups, all of which would operate under a strong authoritarian government.

History
Pierre Biétry left the French Workers' Party in 1900, believing that socialism had failed in improving workers' conditions. He created yellow socialism and founded the National Federation of Yellows of France (FNJF), advocating for cooperation between unions and businesses. Over time, Biétry adopted racism and anti-semitic tendencies into the party, affiliating it with French reactionaries. The party slowly dismantled after its last meeting in 1909, and Biétry died in 1918.

Followers of Marx adopted the "yellow socialist" label to describe socialists who they thought were supporting the ruling class. This included ideologies known in the modern day as social democracy or  democratic socialism. Because of its misuse, the term has been confused with very different ideologies and was ultimately abandoned after World War I.

Beliefs
The main belief of Yellow Socialism is that the working class (the proletariat) should co-operate and negotiate with the owning class (the bourgeoisie) instead of overthrow them, like Marxism advocates. This would be done through the Union system.

Yellow Socialism as advocated by Bietry advocated for a strong state to reside over Worker-Owner relationships and help to make the situation as best as possible for both sides.

Bietry also later incorporated elements of Nationalism and  Reactionary into his philosophy.

How to Draw
YellowSoc's design is based of this flag by Comrade Maxwell.
 * 1) Draw a ball with eyes
 * 2) Fill it Yellow
 * 3) In black draw two olive branches cross together
 * 4) In the olive branches draw a factory in the same colour
 * 5) Above the factory draw a black star.

Relationships
Since Yellow Socialism is the result of socialism and  capitalism, two opposites that tend to hate each other, he has a hard time finding many friends.
