Satirism

Political Satirism or just Satirism in the context of Polcompball is a ball representing a broad set of political personalities and/or parties which run on a campaign of joke policies.

History
Political satire has existed pretty much since politics itself existed, although first actually known instances of political satire were in ancient Greece.

The first case in which a candidate has ran for office with the sheer intent of satirising politics isn't really known, but it could be said to be the story of the time when Emperor Caligula of the Roman Empire nominated his favourite Horse Incitatus for Consul, which could be interpreted as a joke on how the Roman Consuls were useless. Although it could be just his being a loony or not have happened at all.

In medieval times political satirism often took place during "All Fools Day." In which various festivals were held by local groups in cities. They were often allowed to criticize royalty and other government officials on such days due to the humorous nature of their criticism. It was one of the few political expressions allowed during the periods of Feudalism. Though often they would still be persecuted if local officials felt they went too far. Often they'd make false decrees, pretend to be local nobles, or put on performances of recent political events from a satiristic point of view.

In the ages then, many notable works of political satire have been produced. Including some of the works of William Shakespeare and works like "A Modest Proposal" and "The Dialogue in Hell Between Machiavelli and  Montesquieu".

Satirism later took hold in the 20th century, with one of the earliest organised satirist parties being the "The Party of Moderate Progress Within the Bounds of the Law" in the Austro-Hungarian Czechoslovakia by Jaroslav Hašek, founded in 1911. Which promised that if they get elected to the Imperial Council of Austria would introduce policies such as the "nationalisation of janitors", "reintroduction of slavery" and "mandatory alcoholism".

Satirist candidates later became more popular with the introduction of the Television and similar media.

Leaders of the Church of the Subgenius, a parody religion, issue 5 specific instructions to their followers.


 * 1) Shun employment and stop working.
 * 2) Purchase products sold by the church, which is said to have been founded by Dobbs to "gain wealth". This has been seen as a parody of the "greed is good" mentality.
 * 3) Rebel against "law and order".
 * 4) Rid the world of non-subgenii.
 * 5) Exploit the fear of conspiracy members.

Robert Latham calls their ideology "anarcho-libertarianism". The UK Free Party, founded to promote the free party scene, stood candidates for the three Parliamentary seats within the city of Brighton and Hove, under names associated with the church.

The invention and popularization of the internet in the 21st century has allowed for political satirism to become more popular, allowing it to be accessed by pretty much everyone. Notable examples of satirism being adopted into new philosophies include the ideology of Anti-Centrism.

The german political satire party "Die PARTEI" gained 1 seat in the european parliament after the 2014 election, it gained 1 more (making it 2) after the 2019 election. The party is currently also represented in the german national parliament due to an MP of the SPD changing political parties in 2020.
