Authoritarian Capitalism

Authoritarian Capitalism (AuthCap), is an economically right wing,  authoritarian and culturally  ambivalent (though usually  right-leaning) ideology advocating for a system in which a  capitalist market economy exists alongside an  authoritarian government. Authoritarian capitalists argue that by utilizing elements of Capitalism, regimes may more effectively employ modern technologies to suppress dissidence towards government. In addition, it is argued that capitalist free-market policies leads to an increase in authoritarian policies. The core of this argument lies in the view that citizens will support whichever regime provides the most material comforts. Authoritarian capitalism is often associated with, and mistaken for, State Capitalism, an economic system in which the state undertakes business and commercial economic activity, and where the means of production are organized and managed as state-owned enterprises. The former has a higher degree of economic liberalization than the latter.

 * [[File:Batista.png]] Fulgencio Batista - Fulgencio Batista was former president of Cuba twice (1940-1944 and 1952-1959), in addition to being a former military officer and former senator . He was one of the main leaders of the 1933 coup/Revolt of the Sergeants, in which, along with Dr. Ramón Grau, he overthrew President Carlos Manuel de Céspedes y Quesada in 1933, was later elected in 1940.

In his second presidency, he took a different position than the 1st, taking out regulations, increasing inequality, opposing unions and powering corporations. There was an improvement in the economy and development, in addition to higher salaries, but there were still high social inequalities, even lacking basic sanitation. The Cuban government at the time became known for its relations with organized crime and governmental hedonism, becoming known as "La Vegas of Latin America" ​​for its resemblance to La Vegas, because of the casinos, nightclubs, prostitution and drugs, housing millionaire businessmen and mobsters.

With various social problems, corruption and inequality, opposition to his government grew, but they were violently repressed, causing the rebels to create guerrillas, in which the best known was the July 26 Movement, led by Fidel Castro, Raúl Castro and Ernesto Che Guevara. . The Movement made insurgencies with guerrilla tactics, having support from Yugoslavia, in which they tried to overthrow some of them before the revolution, but failed, having to flee.

[[File:Cball-Singapore.png]] Singapore [[File:PAP(Singapore).png]]
Singapore is an example of authoritarian capitalism, in which it is the country with the most economic freedom in the world according to the Heritage Foundation, but is regarded as a failed democracy according to the Economist Intelligence Unit and 47/100 at liberty according to Freedom House. No elected president was from any party other than the PAP, homosexuality is prohibited, all media (radio, newspapers, television channels, among others) belong to companies linked to the government, in addition to the internet being restricted with the excuse of "fighting terrorism" or "racial or religious tensions", among other authoritarian measures, making Singapore known as "Disneyland with the death penalty", being accused by William Gibson of being a Capitalist Technocracy.


 * [[File:Authoritarian Conservatism.png]] Lee Kuan Yew - Lee Kuan Yew (1923-2015) was the first Prime Minister of [[File:Cball-Singapore.png]] Singapore and is widely considered to be the city state's founding father. Lee was born in Singapore when it was still under  [[File:Cball-UK.png]] British  [[File:Colonial.png]] colonial rule as part of the Straits Settlements. During the  [[File:Showa.png]] Japanese Occupation in the midst of WWII, Lee managed to evade death as the Japanese ordered all Singaporeans of Chinese descent to be screened as part of the Sook Ching operation.

The future leader of Singapore got a job with the Japanese  propaganda department (Hōdōbu) in late 1943, as an English specialist. As Lee came to anticipate that the British Allied Forces would re-invade their former colony he quit his job at the Japanese propaganda department and spent the remainder of the war engaging in private enterprises and black markets. After being forced to kneel in front of a Japanese soldier he came to realize that the Japanese were a far more cruel and vicious occupying force than Singapore's former British colonizers. Lee Kuan Yew now understood that no Empire had the right to rule over them and that the people of Singapore would eventually have to take matters into their own hands and push for independence and self-determination.

After the war and Japan's surrender to the Allied Forces, Lee got a Queen's scholarship and went to study abroad in London where his anti-colonial sentiments kept growing. He returned to Singapore in 1950 together with his wife Kwa, determined to end British colonial rule and create a unified and independent Malaya and   Singapore. Lee turned heavily to the city's Chinese-speaking community and trade unions and was willing to cooperate with regional  communist movements as he sought to create a popular front. The People's Action Party (PAP) was founded in 1954 and eventually, Lee sought to purge the Party of his former communist allies in wake of the 1956 Chinese Middle School riots.

The People's Action Party won its first electoral victory in the 1959 election and with Lee Kuan Yew appointed as Singapore's first prime minister. He initially sought to unify Singapore with Malaysia but ethnic conflicts and ideological differences led to Singapore becoming a sovereign city-state in 1965. Lee and the PAP had overwhelming parliamentary control at every election and oversaw Singapore's transformation into a developed high economy country, with a highly effective,  anti-corrupt government and civil service.

Lee eschewed populist policies in favor long term social and economic planning and did everything he could to attract foreign investment for multinational corporations. Singapore consistently ranks at the top of the World Bank's "Ease of Doing Business Report."

However, Lee's rule has been described as authoritarian by critics, with accusations of curtailing press freedoms, imposing narrow limits on public protests, restricting labor movements from strike action through legislation, and co-option, and bringing defamation lawsuits against political opponents. Lee Kuan Yew finally stepped down as Prime Minister in 1990 after over 30 years in power.


 * [[File:Authdem.png]] Lee Hsien Loong [[File:Neoliberal-icon.png]]: Lee Kuan Yew's eldest son Lee Hsien Loong has served as Prime Minister of Singapore and Secretary-General of the People's Action Party (PAP) since 2004. Although Lee Hsien Loong isn't quite as authoritarian as his father, other political parties still don't stand much of a chance against The PAP. Caning is still a widely used form of corporal punishment in Singapore. Press Freedom remains very low with journalists and netizens critical of the ruling party being forced to pay heavy fines for expressing their opinions.

From the year 1950 onwards McCarthy frequently exploited Cold War tensions and the fear of communism and even began to investigate homosexuals working in the foreign policy bureaucracy, on the ground that they were prime candidates for blackmail by the Soviets (See: Lavender Scare). Said baseless accusations against homosexual government workers received wide publicity and gained him a powerful national following.
 * [[File:McCarthy.png]]  Joseph McCarthy was an American politician and attorney who served as a Republican Senator from the state of Wisconsin from 1947 until his death in 1957. The term "McCarthyism" was coined in the 1950s in reference to McCarthy's widespread [[File:Anticommunism.png]] anti-communist paranoia, fearmongering, and allegations that numerous communists and Soviet spies, and sympathizers had infiltrated the United States federal government, universities, and elsewhere. Joseph McCarthy rose to national fame in February 1950, when he asserted in a speech that he had a list of "members of [[File:ML.png]] the Communist Party and members of a spy ring" who were employed in the State Department.

McCarthy's methods also brought on the disapproval and opposition of many. With the highly publicized Army–McCarthy hearings of 1954, and following the suicide of Wyoming Senator Lester C. Hunt that same year, McCarthy's support and popularity faded. Ultimately, the smear tactics and threats that he used led him to be censured by the U.S. Senate.

[[File:Cball-Indonesia.png]] Indonesia [[File:Suharto.png]]
 Suharto was an Indonesian   army officer and politician, who served as the second and the longest serving president of  Indonesia through a repressive military dictatorship from 1967 until his own resignation in 1998.

The future military dictator grew up under the Dutch   Colonial Era and joined the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army (KNIL) in June 1940 at the age of 19. During the Japanese occupation era, Suharto changed allegiance to serve in the Japanese-organized Indonesian security forces, PETA. After the Japanese surrender in the Pacific to the Allied, independence leaders Sukarno and Hatta declared Indonesian independence and were appointed president and vice-president respectively of the new Republic. Under the new government, Suharto joined Indonesian Army to fight the Dutch forces who had returned to take back control over their former colony. Throughout the 1950s, as a colonel, Suharto would crack down hard on uprisings of Dutch collaborators and  Islamic extremists. Throughout the rule of socialist Sukarno, the Communist Party of Indonesia, PKI which was closely affiliated with Sukarno’s regime, increased massively in numbers and popularity upsetting both the Indonesian military and the US who would do anything to prevent a communist take-over in the country.

Due to a combination of Sukarno’s extensive nationalizations, autarky, and foreign sabotage by the CIA, the economy of Indonesia deteriorated rapidly,  resulting in widespread poverty and hunger and foreign debt obligations became unmanageable, and infrastructure crumbled.

On 30 September 1965, six generals were killed by a group calling themselves the 30 September Movement who alleged a right-wing plot to kill the President. General Suharto led the army in suppressing the abortive coup attempt who blamed the PKI for. After the events surrounding the 30 September Movement of 1965, General Suharto took control of the country in a Western-backed military overthrow of the Sukarno-led government in an event that came to be known as the Transition to the New Order. What followed was the Indonesian mass killings of 1965–66, large-scale killings and civil unrest that occurred in Indonesia over several months, targeting PKI members, communist sympathizers, Gerwani women, feminists, ethnic Javanese Abangan, and ethnic Chinese among other dissidents that were suspected to hold left-wing views. The Indonesian genocide was directly supported by the US, British, and  Australian intelligence services which provided weapons and logistical support for the Indonesian army and “kill lists” of suspected dissidents. According to the most widely published estimates, at least 500,000 to 1.2 million people were killed over the course of 2 years.¨

In 1966 to 1967, to promote assimilation of the influential Chinese Indonesians, the Suharto government passed several laws as part of the so-called "Basic Policy for the Solution of Chinese Problem", which included banning all Chinese cultural and religious expressions from public space, prohibition of Chinese schools, and encouraging ethnic Chinese to take Indonesian-sounding names.

Suharto proceeded with social engineering projects designed to transform Indonesian society into a de-politicized "floating mass" supportive of the national mission of "development", a concept reminiscent to corporatism. The New Order regime created and required all civil servants and employees of the state- and local government-owned enterprises. and those of Bank Indonesia to join KORPRI (the Employees' Corps of the Republic of Indonesia) to ensure their loyalty.

Suharto enlisted a group of mostly US-educated Indonesian economists, dubbed the "Berkeley Mafia", to formulate government economic policy to solve the economic crisis left by the Sukarno-era. By cutting subsidies and government debt, and reforming the exchange rate mechanism, inflation dropped from 660% in 1966 to 19% in 1969. Sukarno's economic autarky policies were reversed by opening selected economic sectors of the country to foreign investment under the new Foreign Investment Law of January 1967 and foreign companies that had previously nationalized were re-privatized and returned to their original owners. The government began a series of large-scale intensive investments in infrastructure under a series of five-year plans. Indonesia experienced massive economic growth during the New Order coincided with rapid expansion in corruption, collusion, and nepotism as Suharto would use his dictatorial rule to enrich himself and his family and cronies.

In 1974, the neighbouring colony of Portuguese Timor descended into civil war after the withdrawal of Portuguese colonial authority following the Carnation Revolution, whereby theleftist-leaning Fretilin emerged triumphant. Western governments persuaded Suharto to intervene in East Timor to prevent socialism from prevailing in the former Portuguese colony. Suharto authorised a full-scale invasion of the colony on 7 December 1975 followed with its official annexation as Indonesia's 27th province of East Timor in July 1976. The United States under  Gerald Ford and   Jimmy Carter furnished over $250,000,000 of military assistance to Indonesia between 1975 and 1979. An estimated minimum of 90,800 and maximum of 213,600 conflict-related deaths occurred in East Timor during the Indonesian occupation that lasted until 1999.

Suharto ruthlessly suppressed elements that he perceived the New Order society. From 1983 to 1985, army death squads murdered up to 10,000 suspected criminals in response to a spike in crime rate. Attacks on police by the resurgent  Gaddafi-aided  Free Aceh Movement in 1989 led to a brutal military operation that killed up to 12,000 people, mostly civilians.

By the 1980s Western concern over Communism waned with the end of the Cold War, leading Suharto's human-rights record to come under greater international scrutiny and the New Order regime lost much of its support from the western governments that helped its rise to power in the first place. By the 1990s, elements of the growing Indonesian middle class, created by Suharto's economic development, were becoming restless with his autocracy and his family's brazen corruption, fueling demands for reform of the 30-year-old New Order system.

By 1996,  Megawati Sukarnoputri, the daughter of Sukarno and chairwoman of  PDI, was becoming a rallying point for this growing discontent. In response, Suharto backed a co-opted faction of the PDI led by Suryadi, which removed Megawati from the chair. On 27 July 1996, an attack by soldiers and hired thugs led by Lieutenant-General Sutiyoso on demonstrating Megawati supporters in Jakarta resulted in fatal riots and looting. Suharto's grip on power weakened following severe economic and political crises that stemmed from the 1997 Asian financial crisis. The economy suffered a flight of foreign capital, leading to a drastic drop in the value of the Indonesian rupiah, which severely impacted the economy and people's livelihoods. Persuaded by US President Bill Clinton, Suharto turned to  IMF and accepted their structural adjustment programs to bring Indonesia out of the economic crisis. However, things did not get better and in May 1998 massive riots broke out triggered by corruption, and economic problems, including food shortages and mass unemployment. Many within the Military government actively supported the riots as they had too lost faith in Suharto’s reign.

On 21 May, Suharto, resigned and was replaced by former Vice-President B.J Habibie, and the New Order Military Regime finally came to an end with a period of political reform ("Reformasi") followed that would lead to the transition to democracy.

 * [[File:Nazarbayev.png]] Nursultan Nazarbayev  is a Kazakh politician who served as the first President of [[File:Cball-Kazakhstan.png]] Kazakhstan, in office from the country’s independence in 1991 until his formal resignation in 2019, and as the Chairman of the Security Council of Kazakhstan from 1991 to 2022. Nazarbayev began his political career during [[File:Cball-USSR.png]] the Soviet Era and served as Prime Minister of the Kazakh SSR from 1984 until 1989 when he became First Secretary of the Communist Party of Kazakhstan (QKP), 1989. In 1990, Nazarbayev was appointed as Kazakhstan's first president by the Supreme Soviet and supported Russian President [[File:Yeltsin.png]] Boris Yeltsin against the attempted coup in August 1991 by the Soviet hardliners.

After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Nazarbayev turned Kazakhstan into a  kleptocratic  dictatorship, through the ruling party   Nur Otan and like many other post-communist countries, as human rights abuses were severe, dissent was suppressed, and elections were not free and fair, with Nazarbayev regularly winning over 90% of the vote. Nazarbayev established a cult of persona, with schools, streets, and even the country's capital being named after himself. In contrast to other Post-Soviet leaders such as Alexander Lukashenko of  Belarus or  Sapamurat Niyazov of  Turkmenistan, Nazarbayev went beyond  state capitalism and actively pursued  privatization of industries and encouraged foreign investment by multinational corporations. During his 3-decade-long rule he managed to balance international relations between both Russia,  the US, and  China. Nazarbayev went to great lengths to maintain close economic ties with Russia by introducing Kazakhstan into the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) while also pursuing close cooperation with NATO, and participating in China's Belt and Road Initiative.

Nazarbayev's dictatorial rule would face much resistance on multiple occasions. Most notably by businessman and political activist  Mukhtar Ablyazov who lives in exile in Europe because of his political activities and corruption charges. In December 2011, opponents of Nazarbayev rioted in the Mangystau region, resulting in 15 people being shot dead by security forces, in what was known as the Zhanaozen massacre and subsequent trials and arrests of protestors revealing widespread torture and abuse of detainees. In March 2019, Nazarbayev finally resigned from the presidency amid anti-government rallies and was succeeded by his close ally Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.

In Egypt, he became commander of the air force academy, in which he doubled the amount of pilots, having a supposed strong participation in the Yom Kippur war, in which the pilots hit 90% of the targets, becoming a national hero. . There have been claims that he changed documents in the Yom Kippur war to favor himself, taking credit for Saad El-Shazli (according to the general's daughter), while others claim he played a greater role psychologically.

As vice-president of Anwar Sadat, he tried to disassociate himself and disengage Egypt and other countries from Israel, as in the case that he tried to make a disengagement agreement, but was blocked by the then president of Syria Hafez Al-Assad. He also improved relations with Saudi Arabia and royals, as well as a certain power in international relations and opposing the Camp David Accords.

He came to the presidency in 1981, after the death of Anwar Sadat. As president, Egypt was suspended from membership in the Arab League because of Sadat's previous peace treaty with Israel, but ended up moving even closer to Saudi Arabia. After the alleged threat of Khomeini in the Islamic world and the Iran-Iraq war, there was a rapprochement between Egypt and the League, especially its support for member countries (such as Iraq and Jordan), making Egypt join the Arab League in 1989. Mubarak's government, there was a strong increase in the economy, services, housing, medicines, etc..., in addition to being pro economic freedom and the Egyptian state employing 8 million people. Many accuse him of anti-Semitism and police authoritarianism, also having reports of various methods of torture and sexual abuse by police, as well as an autocracy. He maintained strong relations with the US and a certain dependence on the economy, but there were some divergences between the two and a slight improvement with the USSR. One of the outstanding things about his government was the corruption and family plutocracy, in which there were accusations that his family could have up to 70 billion with illegal activities (bribery, embezzlement, illegal trade...), in addition to increasing corruption involving entrepreneurs. He was a strong opponent of Islamic radicalism, being pro-secularism, in which jihadists have already tried to assassinate him.

After the detonation of a bomb next to a Christian church in Alexandria in 2011, several Christian and Muslim people began to protest against their government and its police brutality, which after the fall of Ben-Ali in the Arab Spring, the protests intensified. . After Egypt experienced economic problems, protests reached hundreds of thousands, causing Mubarak to resign in the same year.

 * [[File:NguyễnTấnDũng.png]] Nguyễn Tấn Dũng is one of the most influential and notable Vietnamese modern-day politicians who served as the Prime Minister of [[File:Hochi.png]] Vietnam from 2006 to 2016. Despite having been part of the [[File:VietCong.png]] Viet Cong to topple the US-backed [[File:Cball-SouthVietnam.png]] South Vietnamese regime during the Vietnam War he has become notorious for being one of the most right-wing Vietnamese politicians since the country's reunification. During his decade-long reign, Vietnam abandoned any semblance of either [[File:Soc.png]] socialism or [[File:Dem.png]] democracy and became an [[File:Authcap.png]] authoritarian capitalist dictatorship strongly aligned with both western and Chinese [[File:Corp.png]] corporate interests (although he at least pretended to oppose [[File:Cball-China.png]] China's claims in the South China Sea for nationalist reasons).

Nguyễn Tấn Dũng and like-minded Vietnamese politicians cultivated an environment of corruption and nepotism making the bribery of local officials a necessity for many Vietnamese citizens to get by. Press Freedom deteriorated rapidly during his reign with netizens often being forced to pay heavy fines for criticizing the CPV's regime. Nguyễn Tấn Dũng's influence in Vietnamese politics has decreased significantly in recent times due to losing a power struggle to the current General Secretary of the CPV, Nguyễn Phú Trọng.

 * [[File:Febres-Cordero.png]] León Febres Cordero - León Febres Cordero was a former president of Ecuador, former mayor of Guayaquil, former senator and former deputy. As a deputy in 1966, he participated in the drafting of the new constitution, approved in 1967. In 1968, he was a senator representing the productive sectors until parliament was dissolved in 1970. He ran for president in 1984, for the Christian Social Party, which made a coalition called the Frente de Reconstrución Nacional. With the slogan "Bread, roof and jobs", he won the elections with 51.54%.

In his government, he made a strong confrontation with the parliament, especially for not making a considerable increase in salary, but a little higher than inflation. An important aspect was his fiscal and neoliberal policy, in which he improved the management of public spending, making the economy grow and have surpluses. Another economic aspect of Febres Cordero was the increase in non-oil exports, reaching 1.8 billion dollars, in addition to strong investments in construction (especially hospitals), roads, health and culture, reaching 15% of the central banks, generating 5% profit.

There were numerous accusations of corruption, especially in the armed forces with over-invoicing, being evident in the case that even involved kidnapping, called "El Taurazo". There were several cases of death squads that carried out torture, kidnapping, murder and sexual abuse against some opponents, such as activist Consuelo Benavides. His government had a violent response against the Alfaro Vive terrorist group, ¡Carajo!, dubbed the "fight against crime", even though most of those tortured were not related to the group. There was the elite group escuadrones voadores/escuadrones de la muerte, in which they repressed protests and carried out "social cleansing" against prostitutes, people of the left, LGBT people, some indigenous people and transsexuals. This elite used mutilation and torture that left the survivors with permanent physical deformities, being financed by the private sector. Among other scandals, they did not run in the 1988 elections, being succeeded by Rodrigo Borja Cevallos.

as mayor of Guayaquil, he decentralized and practiced a social market economy and modernization of the city.

I had my doubts about you at first but you eventually opened your eyes and embraced the free market during the late 1990s, and created one of the most greedy and brutal oligarchies in the world. Your foreign policy was excellent as well. Too bad, Winnie the Pooh had to oust you and your Shanghai clique from power. You should have just dropped the communism name to he perfect.
 * [[File:Korwinism-Pikselart.png]] Korwinism - Best libertarian, specially Korwin himself!

Frenemies

 * [[File:Ancapf.png]] Anarcho-Capitalism - Cool but why the anarchism?
 * [[File:Neoliberal-icon.png]] Neoliberalism - Good job taking over the world and helping me consolidate power in third-world countries. However, there's no need for you to disguise yourself as a democratic ideology.
 * [[File:Corptism.png]] Corporatism - You know a thing or two about management but try to take my property and you die!
 * [[File:Statecap.png]] State Capitalism - Why do people think I'm you? Though still, we could be great business partners if you move more to the economic right.
 * [[File:ChiangKaiShek.png]] Chiang Kai-shek Thought - Fellow anti-communist dictator who got stabbed many times in the back by the US for not following their orders. However, you're not market-liberal enough when it comes to economics. Killing commies is based but killing rich Shanghai capitalists was not.
 * [[File:Showa-kanmuri.png]] Showa Statism - Imperial Japan was more based during the Meiji and Taishō era, but your staunch anti-communism was admirable.
 * [[File:Baath.png]] Ba'athism - Saddam had it coming but Assad is quite ba'ased.
 * [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Gaddafism - We used to be enemies when you funded and trained so-called "anti-imperialist", militant rebel groups across the world. Our relationship did, however, improve over time as you improved foreign relations with the west and encouraged foreign investment. I'm not sure what to think about your downfall.
 * [[File:Mobutism.png]] Mobutism - Based leader overall but the US eventually turned on you and with the help of Kagame and Museveni overthrew your regime following the Rwandan Genocide.
 * [[File:Hochi.png]] Ho Chi Minh Thought [[File:Đổi Mới.png]] (Post 1990s-) - I won't forgive you for the Fall of Saigon and destroying South Vietnam but I've been warming up to you since you initiated the Đổi Mới reforms and embraced free-market capitalism during the 1990s. Nguyễn Tấn Dũng is especially based.
 * [[File:Polpot.png]] Pol Potism - I like to say I hate you but my followers in Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia supported you against your Vietnamese counterpart.
 * [[File:Khom.png]] Khomeinism - I won't forgive you for the Islamic Revolution and overthrowing the Pahlavi Dynasty. However, your staunch anti-communism is based and you've gotten better with time.
 * [[File:Socauth.png]] Social Authoritarianism - My least favourite business partner: Beware with your "social" €r@p. However, Thaksin was very based!

 * [[File:3way.png]] Third Way - Same as above!
 * [[File:Austrobert.png]] Austrolibertarianism & [[File:Chilib.png]] Chicagoan Libertarianism - Both of you have good ideas, but how are you going to implement them in your small state?
 * [[File:Ike.png]] Rockefeller Republicanism - Twenty-one years of treason! However, your coups in Iran and Guatemala were based!
 * [[File:Reactlib.png]] Reactionary Liberalism - Good lib but be more anti-democratic.
 * [[File:Cball-EU.png]] European Federalism - I love the idea of one Europe united against socialism and the way you deal with illegal immigrants through Frontex is quite based. However, you could improve relations with Russia and China and treat Hungary with more respect.
 * [[File:Gorb.png]] Gorbachevism - One of the few lefties I can respect. Good job dismantling the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact. Yeltsin took what you started to the next level.
 * [[File:ElonMusk.png]] Muskism - Improve relations with your father, Errol is based
 * [[File:Nazi.png]] National Socialism - Your privatizations and darwinism were megabased, but why the huge social state and large welfare spending spree with the government guarantee jobs for every citizen? Also, stop killing Jewish bankers. At least you are anti-communist, authoritarian, and statist.
 * [[File:Tito.png]] Titoism - Anti-bureaucratic revolution and the Breakup of Yugoslavia go brrrrr Socialist and anti-American, but thanks for supporting Stroessner and inspiring (at times) Milošević
 * [[File:Euras.png]] Fourth Theory - NazBol, but supports some right-wing dictators in Eurasian countries
 * [[File:XiJinpingThoughtf.png]] Xi Jinping Thought -  F*ck your overthrowing of the Shanghai clique and clamping down on many corporations, especially the Tencent monopoly. Also, your common prosperity policy is a f*cking nightmare. However, you still have respect for Bill Gates and Elon Musk and you reserved positions for based officials such as Li Keqiang and Wang Yang. However, cool down with the lockdowns. They're incredibly damaging to the Chinese economy.
 * [[File:Washdem2.png]] Washingtonism - Talked about "liberty", but owned slaves, and started the chain of events that created [[File:Necon.png]] my greatest ally.

Enemies

 * [[File:Soc.png]] Socialism - Cringe economic system.
 * [[File:Marxlen.png]] Marxism–Leninism - My arch-enemy. We used to constantly fight for power in many different countries during the Cold War. It seems like I've won for now.
 * [[File:Stalin.png]] Stalinism - One of the worst things to ever exist. The fact that so many Russians and Georgians still worship you is beyond me.
 * [[File:Mao.png]] Maoism - Even worse than above. You inspired lunatics like Gonzalo, Kaypakkaya, and Sison who attacked my followers. However, your son is incredibly based.
 * [[File:Trot.png]] Trotskyism - A red neocon! What a nightmare! I may despise Stalin but you deserved the ice pick.
 * [[File:Awaj.png]] Anarchism - Why do so many college kids believe in this bullshit?
 * [[File:Ancom.png]] Anarcho-Communism - The two worst things in the universe combined.
