Tridemism

Tridemism, more commonly referred to by its full name The Three Principles of the People, is a civically neutral  (later moderately authoritarian), economically variable (depending on time period and faction) ideology inhabiting a moderate position in between the 2 authoritarian quadrants (in its later stage). It is a Chinese ideology which was developed by Sun Yat-sen, meant to bring power and prosperity to China. It is based on three principles, those being Minzu, Minquan and Minsheng (explained in beliefs), also being the constitutional ideology of the Republic of China (Taiwan).

But it's not actual running anymore, KMT is believing "Revisionist Tridemism" - A Tridemism which isn't beliving Georgism anymore. The nowadays of Taiwan still have lots of landlords.

History
Tridemism, or the Three Principles of The People, was a nationalist and republican ideology developed by Chinese revolutionary Sun Zhongshan (Sun Yat-sen) during the Xinhai (Tsinghai) Revolution, and was the theory on which the Guomindang (Kuomintang - Chinese Nationalist Party) was based. Under these principles, Sun, the temporary president of the new revolutionary state, ruled the Republic of China, the successor of the last imperial Chinese dynasty of Qing. It was designed to make China a free, happy, and prosperous nation.

However, Sun suffered several defeats after the Xinhai Revolution as reactionary warlords such as Yuan Shikai and Zhang Zuolin obstructed the democratic and progressive reforms of Sun by all possible means in the aftermath of the revolution. Sun was powerless and upset with the development. With the financial support of the USSR, Sun was again able to rise in Canton with his new political party-the Kuomintang (KMT). During the military conquest of the north by the KMT and the development of the Huangpu Military Academy, Sun developed the idea of a political tutelage of the KMT to transform China into a  modern democratic constitutional country without giving a specific timeframe to end the one-party state tutelage eventually.

The right KMT was officially formed after the cleansing against communists traitors and communist sympathizers in the KMT in 1927 (famously known as the ‘Shanghai Massacre’ and is branded by commies as the start of the so-called ‘white terror’). Its most prominent figures were Chiang Kai-shek, Hu Hanmin (before his imprisonment), and Chiang Ching-kuo. The right KMT took a more anti-communist, socially conservative, and authoritarian party line than the original KMT, but it continued Sun’s Georgist economic policies in Taiwan after it was defeated by the communists in Mainland China. It is also very anti-Japanese and Chinese nationalist in general.

After the death of Chiang Kai-shek in Taiwan, the Chinese nationalist KMT regime began to relax its political restrictions and to improve its civil rights and freedoms under the reforms of Chiang Ching-kuo. In 1986, the Democratic Progressive Party was formed as a real opposition party, which Chiang Ching-kuo did not try to shut down.

Since the 1992 Consensus, the Right Wing KMT is not a Tridemist anymore, they don't believe in Georgism. So there is why the rent of Taiwan's house is very high.(Revisionist Tridemism) The right-KMT like CCP and PRC in nowadays.

After the end of World War II, the relationship between the Chinese Kuomintang and the CPC, who had allied to fight the Japanese, became increasingly tense; ultimately, both sides restarted the civil war, which World War II had interrupted.

In 1945 and 1946, members of the Kuomintang's left wing formed the Three People's Confederation of Comrades and the China Nationalist Democratic Promotion Association in Chongqing and Guangzhou, respectively.

In November 1947, the first joint representative meeting of the Kuomintang left was held in Hong Kong; on 1 January 1948, the meeting announced the official establishment of the "Chinese Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee"(中國國民黨革命委員會), and nominated Soong Ching-ling, the widow of Sun Yat-sen, as the Honorary Chairman of the Revolutionary Committee (despite Soong Ching-ling never formally joining the commission). Till this day, it remains as one of PRC's eight "Democratic Parties (民主黨派)" and while having seats in People's Assembly, holds barely any actual political power and is often mocked as nothing but a decoration to maintain PRC's claim that they're multi-parties system and is running under a certain form of consociationalim.

[[File:Civnat.png]] 民族 Mínzú (Nationalism)
Roughly translates to Civic Nationalism, this principle states that China must be independent from all  Imperialist influence and oppression, which can be achieved by developing "China-nationalism" as opposed to  ethnic nationalism, uniting Han, Manchus, Mongols and Tibetans, as well as Muslims in China (although this part is somewhat debatable as it often practiced as  Han hegemony in reality).

[[File:Dem.png]] 民權 Mínquán (Democracy)
Roughly translates to Civil Rights, this principle stated that instead of having an Emperor to rule China, all Chinese people should be his own Emperor under a democratic system, which citizens have the right to vote and influence politic via democratic means. It also added two more branches--Control Yuan and Examination Yuan -- to more commonly adapted tripartite of power separation due to China's political tradition.

[[File:Soc.png]] 民生 Mínshēng (Socialism)
Roughly translates to "Doctrine of Livelihood", or Socialism more broadly. While Sun Yat-sen stated in a 1924 speech that "Mínshēngism" is Socialism." and even at times calls his proposed policies Communist, he was opposed to the  Marxist definitions of "class struggle" and "surplus value" as well as  Russian style communism, saying that: "The Soviet system in Russia is not pure communism but Marxism — and Marxism is not communism; the real communism comes from Proudhon and Bakunin." (Sun Yat-sen 1924)

Sun Yat-sen instead defined Mínshēng as a doctrine of "people's livelihood, social existence, national economy, and group life." (ibid)

In practice it mostly focused on land distribution and monopoly issues, observing that: "We [the Chinese] are making Shanghai the industrial and commercial metropolis of Central China, and Canton the center of South China; and as a result, land values in Shanghai and Canton have multiplied tens of thousands of times within a few decades. (...) We have condemned merchants and manufacturers for their unfair means of profit-making through monopoly, but the landowners, unlike the merchants and manufacturers who have to work hard, receive tremendous profit by doing nothing. Only through the hard labor and constant effort of the mass of people can an area be developed and improved. A general rise in prices always follows a rise of land values, and in this way, the landowners sit down to enjoy the fruits of others' labor. In other words, the earnings of the mass of the people from their improvement of an area are indirectly stolen by the landowners." (ibid)

Sun Yat-sen proposed to solve this with a land value tax, inspired by Henry George: "Inasmuch as the economic progress is the labor of the people in general, it is only just that any increment in land value from such progress be shared by all in the community." (ibid)

How to Draw
Tridemism_flag1.svg The flag of Tridemism is based on the "Blue Sky and White Sun flag" (青天白日旗), which is the party flag of the Chinese Nationalist Party (Kuomintang) and the naval jack of the Republic of China Navy.
 * 1) Draw a triangle,
 * 2) Fill it with blue,
 * 3) Draw a white circle in the middle,
 * 4) Draw 12 sunrays in white along the outside of it,
 * 5) Add the eyes and you're done!

Relationships
As Tridemism was separated with both left-wing factions (Especially the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang - RCCK) and right-wing factions, Tridemism's relationship between several ideologies was mixed due to factional differences.
