National Bolshevism

National Bolshevism, abbreviated as Nazbol, is an economically far-left, totalitarian, culturally far-right and ultra-nationalist ideology (can be cultural, ethnic nationalism or  racial nationalism depending on context) who advocates for a Bolshevik-inspired system of governance, which includes a socialist economy and a strong centralised state, in combination with extreme  nationalism and support for traditional values, borrowing some elements and aesthetics from  fascism.

He is often seen as a unifying syncretic ideology between far-left and far-right currents of political thought due to his unique combination of economic and cultural views. While Nazbol has achieved notoriety in internet circles due to the "Nazbol Gang" meme, National Bolshevism exists as a genuine ideology in Russian politics, combining state socialism with Russian ultra-nationalism.

There are two distinct variants of Nazbol: one is more in the vein of Marxism–Leninism, except with the addition of ultra-nationalist and culturally right-wing beliefs alongside having the iconography of both far-right and facist movements such as that relating to Nazis but also of various far-left movements as well, while one is more like an economically far-left version of  National Socialism (much in the vein of  Strasserism); these are sometimes referred to as " Left Nazbol" and " Right Nazbol" respectively, with Left being closer to the ideology present in Russian politics and Right being closer to the exaggerated meme version that combines the hyper totalitarian tendencies of both Bolshevism (often specifically Stalinism) with Nazism. "Left" Nazbols see themselves as socially conservative and ultranationalist Marxists who want to achieve full communism (stateless, classless, moneyless society) believing that hypernationalism is the key to achieving this while "Right" Nazbols see state socialism as the final goal.

History
The actual ideology was originally started by the National-Communist Hamburg branch of the KPD. The two main proprietors of it were Heinrich Laufenberg and Fritz Wolffheim, who basically wanted Marxism-Leninism, combined with ultranationalism and syndicalism. They started their own newspaper, releasing several articles explaining how Marxism and Nationalism were compatible. This was the first real example of National Bolshevism. The term was made up by a Jewish Marxist-Leninist by the name of Karl Radek, who is sometimes (wrongly) labeled as a National Bolshevik himself.

The next phase of National Bolshevism took place in, yet again, Germany. It was pioneered by two brilliant minds, the National Communist Karl Otto Paetel and the Conservative Revolutionary Ernst Niekisch. Paetel wrote the well known National Bolshevist Manifesto, as well as founding the first real National-Bolshevik origination, which were called the National-Revolutionary Socialists. Niekisch was a prolific writer, and wrote many articles about the flaws of the Hitler system, and how the Bolshevik economy was very Prussian.

The third phase takes place in the glorious motherland, Russia. Pioneered by Nikolai Ustrialov, it essentially dropped all ties to Marxism, and saw the Bolshevik system as being the best possible choice for a true Nationalist. This idea was widely accepted in Nationalist circles at the time, and he became something of a celebrity. Ustrialov, who originally fought for the Whites in the Russian civil war, was eventually killed in a gulag for propaganda against the state.

Finally, in the most modern form, National Bolshevism has become the meme you see now, a mix between National Socialism and Communism. While their are some real life examples now, they are mostly either fake or extremely small. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, this ideology is mostly dead at least for now anyway...

Personality and Behavior
In the comics, Nazbol is most often depicted as closer to the meme version of the ideology as opposed to any real-life counterparts. He can be depicted with a range of stereotypes surrounding political extremists (himself being a combination of two of them) but is usually seen as erratic, insane and occasionally prone to violence, especially in response to perceived threats from subversive  globalists and  capitalist pigs. Nazbol is currently the leader of the largest gang on the planet, and in some comics, he is only capable of communicating by "GANG GANG GANG GANG", both of these being references to the Nazbol Gang memes. Additionally, he can also be sometimes seen having an unhealthy obsession with Joseph Stalin and  Adolf Hitler and has posters of both all across his room. He's also portrayed as racist and ethnocentric but justifies it as "class-warfare" against "hereditary-reactionaries", which he uses to all minorities he dislikes but especially for Jewish people. He (for comedic purposes) also may be potreyed as an edgy teenager who spends way too much time online and is obsessed with alligning with totalitarian dictators who kill millions of people.
