Reactionary Socialism

Reactionary Socialism is a leftist, reactionary ideology that resides in the upper left half of the political compass. It is very close to Agrarian Socialism, Guild Socialism, and Distributism in policy, but is radically more traditionalist. Generally very decentralist.

History

In the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, Reactionary Socialism was referred to as basically a form of socialism that sought to revert to feudalism, or a Clerical version of socialism. It generally sought to de-proletarianize the working class, redistribute land to the peasants, and generally return to a Medieval type economy instead of seeking total collectivism. Since then, it has been used pejoratively towards "bourgeoise" socialist systems, such as Social Democracy. Additionally, many monarchists who were opposed to capitalism called themselves socialist, even though they were feudalists. Previous spokespersons include some members of the sao paulo forum and latin american nationalists for example Albizu campos saw american imperialism as being tied to protestantism and the "yankee" mentality he advocated for socialism and a return to a conservative agrarian way of life. The modern spokespersons for it are Alexander Dugin, who sees socialism as the best way to enforce a traditional society, and Arthur Penty, who glorified the guild economy. Some have even referred to Strasserism as reactionary socialism, since Strasser wanted federalization, a guild economy, and agrarianism.

Personality

Reactionary Socialism is very religious (generally Catholic, can be Orthodox) and traditional, like his father. However, he gets an explosive temper from his mother, and can usually be seen telling the proletariat to revolt against the unnatural plight of capitalism. Can be depicted speaking in Middle English, holding a sword and sickle or a musket, or holding some sweet Victorian-era flags.

Beliefs

The beliefs of reactionary socialists can vary greatly. Generally, they want small-scale worker democracy (like distributism), an artisan economy, a return to ruralism and the agrarian lifestyle, a planned economy, a return to some traditional religion, and a Monarchist or autocratic government system. However, they generally hate centralism, instead preferring federalism and localism. Some see socialism as an end to itself (once it gets rid of materialism and egalitarianism), while some see it as a step towards reinstating feudalism. Can be very hostile toward technology.

Variants

Metternichism

A traditional conservative, Metternich was keen to maintain the balance of power, particularly by resisting Russian territorial ambitions in Central Europe and the Ottoman Empire. He disliked liberalism and strove to prevent the breakup of the Austrian Empire, for example, by crushing nationalist revolts in Austrian northern Italy. He pursued a similar policy at home, using censorship and a wide-ranging spy network to suppress unrest.

He saw nationalism as a threat to the cosmopolitan nature of the empire and a threat to its stability. This would lead him to suppress nationalist sentiments in the empire and other empires like the Ottoman Empire.

His socialism came from his wish to preserve the guild economy and his support for paternalism. He opposed Economic liberalism as well.

How To Draw

Flag of Reactionary Socialism

Reactionary Socialism's design is based on the combination of the Jerusalem cross (a symbol used for reactionaryism within Polcompball) on the red background (to symbolize socialism).

  1. Draw a ball.
  2. Color it in with red
  3. Draw a yellow/buff Jerusalem Cross (without the tiny crosses) inside a yellow/buff circle.
  4. Draw the eyes.
  5. (Optional) Draw a knight's helmet on top of the ball, similar to the one Feudalism wears.
  6. (Optional) Draw a sword and sickle as props, preferably in a similar position to the hammer and sickle logo.
  7. You're done!
