Social Authoritarianism

Social Authoritarianism is an economically center-left, authoritarian, and culturally variable ideology that advocates a strictly regulated capitalist economy with a strong welfare state and (sometimes) trade unions, but, unlike Social Democracy, has little to no democracy.

[[File:Authdem.png]] Social Authoritarian Democracy
Social Authoritarian Democracy is similar in many ways to social democracy but differs in that they support a constitution that gives wide ranging powers to the president, allowing them to ignore the legislature if they desire, often to allow social and economic progress to be ushered in much faster without worries of corruption holding up "necessary" reforms. It can also be seen as the only true example of a benevolent dictatorship.

[[File:PolState.png]] Police Labourism [[File:Socdem.png]]
Police Labourism is an ideology that advocates for universal healthcare, empowering unions, government regulation to protect small businesses, workers and consumers and, often, anti-communism. The same causes as SocDem with an exception to their view on the police, supporting expanding police power, more police on the streets and viewing crime as one of the key issues for any government to solve.

His government was inspired by fascism and also corporatism in certain times while at other times he would align himself to more left-wing ideals, he would generally push for more left-wing policies such as raising the minimum wage, lowering work hours and creating holidays and the weekend break, he would however also persecute worker movements throughout the country and put unions under control of the state, he would also create several state companies, such as Petrobras, and create the CLT (Consolidation of labor laws). Vargas would also centralize power onto himself, persecute his opposition, and created a cult of personality around himself
 * [[File:ARENA-Brazil.png]] Ernesto Geisel - Ernesto Geisel assumed the presidency in 1974 in the Brazilian military dictatorship. His government caught Brazil in the middle of the oil shock, but it still implemented social measures and state funding.

 * [[File:Thaksin.png]] Thaksin Shinawatra: Thaksin Shinawatra is a Thai [[File:Plutocrat.png]] billionaire, the founder of mobile phone operator Advanced info service and IT and telecommunications conglomerate Shin Corporation, a former police officer, the founder of Thai Rak Thai Party (TRT), who served as the Prime Minister of [[File:Thailand.png]] Thailand from 2001 to 2006. Thaksin ran on a populist platform and during his tenure launched programs to reduce poverty, expand infrastructure, promote small and medium-sized enterprises, and extend universal healthcare coverage.

Thaksin and his government did however show authoritarian tendencies on multiple occasions. He declared a "war on drugs" in which more than 2,500 people were killed and took a strong-arm approach against the separatist insurgency in the  Muslim southern provinces. Thaksin also got his country involved in the Iraq War following the US-led invasion of  Iraq. Thailand contributed 423 non-combat troops in August 2003 to nation-building and medical assistance in post-Saddam Iraq. Troops of the Royal Thai Army were attacked in the 2003 Karbala bombings, which killed two soldiers and wounded five others. However, the Thai mission in Iraq was considered an overall success, and Thailand withdrew its forces in August 2004. The mission was considered the main reason the United States decided to designate Thailand as a major non-NATO ally in 2003.

A citizens' movement against Thaksin, called the People's Alliance for Democracy or "Yellow Shirts", launched mass protests, accusing him of  corruption, abuse of power, and  autocratic tendencies.

Thaksin was overthrown in a military coup on 19 September 2006 and was barred from all political activity. He has continued to influence Thai politics from abroad through the Pheu Thai Party, as well as the United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship or the "Red Shirt" movement which challenges the power of the Military Dictatorship and aims for greater democracy and justice in Thai politics. His younger sister Yingluck Shinawatra was the prime minister of Thailand from 2011 to 2014 until she too was ousted in a military coup.

 * [[File:BoXilai.png]] Bo Xilai: Bo Xilai is a Chinese former politician who was convicted on bribery and embezzlement charges. Bo Xilai served as a member of the Politburo of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and Communist Party Secretary of Chongqing from 2007 until his arrest in 2012.

As Communist Party Secretary of Chongqing, Bo Xilai initiated a campaign against organized crime, increased spending on welfare programs, maintained consistent double-digit percentage GDP growth, and campaigned to revive Cultural Revolution-era "red culture". Bo's promotion of egalitarian values and the achievements of his Chongqing model made him the champion of the Chinese New Left, composed of both Maoists and social democrats disillusioned with the country's market-based economic reforms and increasing economic inequality.

From 2009 to 2011 Bo Xilai and Police Chief Wang Lijun oversaw the "Chongqing Gang Trials" (or "Dahei Campaign") in which a total of 4,781 suspects were arrested, including 19 suspected crime bosses, hundreds of triad members, and a number of allegedly corrupt police, government, and Communist party officials. The Chongqing Gang Trials were heavily criticized for their lack of due process and for the arrests of innocents for political gain and suppression of dissent.

As part of Bo Xilai and Wang Lijun's war on crime to maintain social and political stability in Chongqing, a major electronic surveillance operation that involved wiretaps, eavesdropping, and monitoring of the internet communications was initiated with the help of Fang Binxing, the father of the Great Firewall. The eavesdropping operations did not only target local criminals, but also the communications of top Chinese leaders, including those of the CCP General Secretary Hu Jintao, as Bo Xilai tried to monitor nearly all central leaders who had visited Chongqing to better understand what they thought of him as he was set on being promoted to the Politburo Standing Committee of the Chinese Communist Party.

Bo Xilai's political fortunes would come to an abrupt end following the Wang Lijun incident, in which his top lieutenant sought asylum at the American consulate in Chengdu with information about the involvement of Bo Xilai and his wife Gu Kailai in the murder of British businessman Neil Heywood who had financial ties to the couple. In the fallout of the Wang Lijun Incident, Bo was removed as the CCP Committee secretary of Chongqing and was expelled from the Communist Party. In 2013, Bo was found guilty of corruption, embezzlement, and was stripped of all his assets, and sentenced to life imprisonment at Qincheng Prison.

Although he was a [[File:Socdem.png]] social democrat and governed democratically in most regions of Spain, in the Basque Country region he had a rather authoritarian attitude, where under the nickname "Señor X" he secretly created the "GAL", which were [[File:PolState.png]] police death squads with the aim of destroying the terrorist organization [[File:ETA.png]] ETA. The GAL became very infamous for murdering various political opponents and terrorizing the Basque population.

[[File:Cball-Georgia.png]] Georgia [[File:Shevardnadze.png]]

 * [[File:Shevardnadze.png]] Eduard Shevardnadze was a [[File:Cball-Georgia.png]] Georgian politician and diplomat who governed Georgia for several non-consecutive periods from the 1970s-1980s as the First Secretary of Georgian Communist Party of the Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic and as President of Georgia from 1995 until his resignation in 2003.

As First Secretary, Shevardnadze started several economic reforms, which would spur economic growth in the republic despite the nationwide economic stagnation that plagued the Soviet Union. In 1985, Mikhail Gorbachev appointed Shevardnadze to the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs and would play a crucial role in forming the Soviet's new foreign policy under the Gorbachev era. He negotiated nuclear arms treaties with the United States, helped end the war in  Afghanistan, allowed the reunification of  Germany, and withdrew Soviet forces from Eastern Europe and from the Chinese border. His western-friendly foreign policy put him at odds with Soviet hardliners who saw him as a sellout to the west.

In the aftermath of the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991, Shevardnadze returned to the newly independent Georgia and became the country's second 2nd head of the state in 1995. His presidency was marked by rampant corruption and accusations of nepotism as was the case in all  post-communist countries of the former Eastern bloc at the time.

Shevardnadze also faced separatist conflicts in the regions of  South Ossetia and  Abkhazia and the first Chechen war which damaged Georgia's relations with  Russia, which accused Shevardnadze of harboring  Chechen guerrillas and in apparent retaliation supported Georgian separatists of the aforementioned separatist regions. Georgia-Russia relations were worsened by Shevardnadze's US-friendly foreign policy and strategic alliance with NATO which saw him as a counterbalance to Russian influence in the Transcaucasus.

Eduard Shevardnadze resigned following the 2003 Rose Revolution motivated by the rampant corruption in his administration and electoral fraud in the 2003 presidential election.

[[File:Cball-Kazakhstan.png]] Kazakhstan [[File:Tokayev.png]]

 * [[File:Tokayev.png]] Kassym-Jomart Tokayev is a Kazakh politician and diplomat who is currently serving as the President of Kazakhstan since 12 June 2019 following the resignation of the country's former President and dictator Nursultan Nazarbayev.

Throughout his presidency, he has enacted several reforms including increasing workers' salaries, reducing corruption, abolishing capital punishment, and decentralizing the local government.

Despite some positive reforms Tokayev's government has maintained much of Nazarbayev's authoritarianism. This was seen during the 2022 Kazakh unrest, also known as "Bloody January", when a series of massive protests broke out in Kazakstan after a sudden sharp increase in liquefied gas prices following the lifting of a government-enforced price cap on 1 January 2022. The demonstrations quickly turned into violent riots, fueled by rising dissatisfaction with the government and economic inequality. Tokayev responded with a state of emergency and called for military intervention by the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) – a military alliance consisting of Russia and other former Soviet States. Tokayev ordered troops to use deadly force against protesters, authorizing instructions to "shoot to kill" without warning at anyone demonstrating, calling protesters "bandits and terrorists." Up to 227 people were killed and several thousand were arrested.

After a week of violent unrest and brutal crackdowns, President Tokayev promised reform and acknowledged public discontent over income inequality, and informed that the vehicle gas prices caps of 50 tenge per litre had been restored for 6 months.

 * [[File:RamaIX.png]] Network Monarchism - You got some neat ideas but why do hate Thaksin?
 * [[File:Fash.png]] Fascism - Look, I know we both have similar economics and both authoritarian. [[File:Socdem.png]] He tells me not to trust you.
