Revolutionary Progressivism also called Ultraprogressivism, Neo-Jacobinism, and Neo-Progressivism is a culturally and (most of the time) economically left ideology that believes in the radical restructuring of existing society through violent means in the vision of modern progressive ideals. The ideology ultimately sees that strict conservative cultural norms are holding back societies from developing and are useless in the modern world.
Because of its stance on abolishing traditional or oppressive social structures, it has been deemed as a far-left ideology (or Alt-Left by some), meeting friends among the way such as
Jacobinism,
Marxism-Leninism,
Maoism, and other
or left-anarchist or
socialist balls.
History
WIP
Red Shirts and Tomás Garrido Canabal
Red Shirts (or in Spanish Camisas Rojas) was an extremist left-wing and anti-religious group founded in 1931 by Tomás Garrido Canabal, in his tenure as governor, the name is due to the fact that members wear red shirts. The group's aim was to follow the orders of Canabal, which was mainly anti-clerical as articles of 1917, in which it destroyed several church buildings.
The group's ideals consisted of attacking things that "hindered progress" like religion and alcohol, as well as having a bias towards Marxism and Leninism (with an extra focus on Leninism), in which their anthem was the internationale and many were based on the Bolsheviks and were even accused of being "fascists" and "indoctrination shock troops for the intense campaign against God and religion". The group disbanded in 1935 after Canabal ordered them to kill Catholics and Cardenas arrested 62 members.
Tomás Garrido Canabal - Tomás Garrido Canabal was an anti-religious military politician and governor of Yucatan and Tabasco in Mexico and his ideology was Garridismo. Even before taking a role in politics, he was expelled for demonstrating against Porfirio Diaz in his first year of high school.
He became known for his administration as governor of Tabasco (1920-1935), in which he promoted some social advances such as women's suffrage and public education, but was accused of authoritarianism and brutality, especially for his anti-religion campaign, having as focus on Christianity, in which he founded Camisas Rojas to persecute and destroy churches in Tabasco. He justified his religious persecution by saying it was a way of "seeking the freedom of the people", he had banned masses and religious images were burned in public, in addition to having encouraged satirical plays mocking Christianity. Another important aspect was socialism, in which he founded several socialist organizations, the best known being Camisas Rojas and he was very fond of Lenin. He also banned alcoholic beverages (except beer) and executed criminals without trial, causing crime in Tabasco to decline.
Described as socialist tyranny by Martin C. Needler, in 1934 he had Catholic youths shot in Coyoacán Square, generating indignation among the population. He left in 1935, after the arrival of Lázaro Cárdenas, went into exile in Costa Rica, dying in California in 1943.
Foundations and Beliefs
Revolutionary Progressivism believes that traditions are to removed from society though a quick graudation of stages. The cultural revolutions in USSR and China helped solidify the decline of conservative society as the traditions being conserved were outlawed and banned, and those praticing them were persuaded to be re-educated. Afterwards, new cultural ideas would be left to the government to dicuss.
But in the case of more anarchist or anti-authority ideologies such as Queer Anarchism, it focuses on collapsing the state, the upholding force of the current social structures. It believes once the state is destroyed, nothing will enable oppression, therefore any radical social change is achieved by a sense of liberty.
Most groups and followers of revolutionary progressivism, have followed generally left-wing and socialist economic values, such as the Black Panthers Party in the
United States, the
Socialist Unity in the
United Kingdom, and the
United Red Army in
Japan. This is most likely due to either oppressed groups rising up in a revolutionary manner, which lends itself to economic left-wing, as that is the oppressed workers rising up.
He is unlike most progressives, against safe spaces. The reason for that is because he believes that instead of keeping his fellow progressives in chambers like this, we should train them instead.
Personality and Behavior
Revolutionary Progressivism is portrayed as an more unhinged version of regular (western) Progressivism. He is devastated in the inmoral, oppressive, unequal society of today, grasped on by the
conservative status quo who want to maintain the current state of things for various reasons (economic, social, foreign policy, cultural policy, etc whatever). Hoping to partake in its downfall and replace it with a more egalitarian and fair society, he started to reads revolutionary left-wing books about insurrection, violence, abolishing class and gender structure, and more. He has very little fear and usually has a calm personality, hanging out with his far-left buddies. He will only lose his cool when he gets out into the battlefield, not afraid to think twice as he knows whatever he is fighting for will be worth it.
His tactics are frequently employed by anarcho-communists and other leftists.
Reactionarism is his biggest rival as they both like to use violent tactics to further their respective ideologies and are on opposite sides of the cultural spectrum.
When analyzing historical leaders, he judges them based on today's times rather than the times that they lived in. This may result in him calling for the removal of statues, citing slave ownership,
racism,
sexism,
homophobia,
transphobia, etc. He may do so by protest, vandalism, or even destruction.

Anarkata and
Indigenism - Ethnic minorities must rise up against the racist establishment!
Marxist Feminism - The international struggle of women against
Patriarchy reigns!
Anarcha-Feminism - Women must start a revolution against the
patriarchal establishment!
Leninism - A revolutionary culture of the proletariat will change society in their favor. Excellent job in Russia!
Posadism - If the old reactionary world has to be cleansed through nuclear holocaust, then so be it!
Bio-Posadism - Using bioweapons to destroy reactionaries with a pandemic is a based idea.
Accelerationism - We must remove barriers to progress and move the entire world forward.
FALGSC - A fully automated homosexual society that explores space is a good idea.
De Francism - Enforced race mixing? Interesting...
Hoxhaism - Women's rights? Industrialization? Fighting the clergy? HELL YEAH!
Demographic Posadism - Kinda slowpoke, but I still like your scheming plans for destroying idiotic tradcuck societies. Let's abolish all families worldwide, and depopulate all countries with collapsing religions!
Semi-Revolutionary
Progressivism - You've got the right ideas, dad. But stop being such a wuss, incinerating those cultural
counterrevolutionaries will change history for the better!
Also why do you hate me so much?Neoliberalism - Most of your (modern) followers are progressive? Based! Oppressing minorities in poorer countries and being capitalist? Cringe!
State Liberalism - Like the above but on steroids.
Fordism - Like the above but on Soma.
Social Democracy - Too moderate. Also never forget about Rosa!
Democratic Socialism
- Good direction, but you're still a bit too soft.
Reformism - You too! How will we achieve progress without violently restricting conservatism?
Civil Libertarianism - Allowing reactionaries to speak out? Not sure...
Secularism and
Laicism - You're being weak, just remove all religion already!
Kemalism - I love how you revolutionized Turkish society and got rid of the old Ottoman cr*p and theocracy and modernized Turkey into the most secular and progressive country in the Islamic world. But why is reformism in your core principle? Don’t you know that the revolution is the best way to beat reactionaries? You should also have removed Islam rather than enforcing the thing above.
Tridemism - Sun Yat-sen’s revolution was a progressive force for China against reactionary elements of the society. But again, Chiang Kai-shek was gigacringe and most of your modern-day followers are cringe conservatives. Still, I like Left-KMT members who are socially progressive and revolutionary.
Anarcho-Pacifism - You're weak. Peaceful protest will never solve our problems!
Marxism–Leninism - Many of his states are now reactionary, however, he claims that they are revisionist and have nothing to do with it. And the way you dealt with conservatives was very VERY based.
Love your channel by the way xoxo.Pink Capitalism - You may be progressive, but minorities will never be free under capitalism.
Black Nationalism - We will fight for you!
But some of your variants don't seem to get along with me, and you are still a nationalist.LGBT+ - We will forcefully fight for your rights. Just don't be like
him
or we will turn our backs on you.
Progressive Conservatism - Cringe! (The only exceptions to this are with my
Progressive Traditionalist
friends.)
Satanic Theocracy - I do like how you take on adherents of
Abrahamic religions, but some of your fans such as O9A, are cringe fashies.
Anti-Authoritarianism - Not fully sure. A strong state may be needed to defeat Conservatives and Reactionaries. Lu Xun was still based tho.
Anti-Centrism - So you support me? Amazing! But why do you also support the far-right? Though I do appreciate your hatred toward those pesky
centrists.
Stalinism - Getting rid of the old Tsarist society and defeating the fascist scum were based moves, but why did you criminalise homosexuality and abortions?
Castroism - A fellow comrade but what's up with nationalism and the mistreatment of queers? You dislike theocratic institutions but also tolerate religion. That isn't enough for me. At least you are making rapid progress now and recently abolished the traditional family structure.
Titoism - I like how you pitted fashoids and cuckservatives and revolutionized the Yugoslavian culture, but you were also a bit too soft on the church and didn't fully decriminalize homosexuality, though at least Yugoslavia still became relatively tolerant of the latter during the 70s.
Multiculturalism - I swear I really like him, it's just that he keeps death glaring at me whenever I come near him for some reason.

Moderatism &
Anti-Radicalism - Society reform will never be achieved if you're so moderate about it!
Decelerationism - You literally exist only to slow down progress. Since you like slowing down so much, prepare to die a painfully slow death!
Centrists - You are not really in the middle, your compromises with the rightists inherently make you lean conservative.
Trumpism - I can't wait till you get assassinated, fucking fascist scum!!!
Progressivism - You seriously need to calm down, buddy. The last thing we want to see is Trump being a martyr.
- Stop telling me what to do or you will be assassinated, too! If we don’t kill the leader of the American conservative movement, how can we eliminate them?
Bidenism - Just because you are not Tr*mp, does not spare you because you are a moderate boomer who worked with wignats in the past.
Bull Moose Progressivism - Just because you gave (white) women rights and busted trusts doesn't make up for the fact that you're still a bigoted, racist imperialist who colonized and oppressed lesser developed countries like the Philippines and those in Latin America. You're just a progressive in name only. You better run. I will bust your head open far harder than how you busted those trusts.
Anarcho-Nihilism - You don't care about the revolution huh? You're just a doomer version of this

Traditionalism - Fuck you, your """traditions""" and your "back in my day" shit, ya son of a bitch. It's 2023 now and you should not behave like this.
Reactionarism - I'm tired of you flunking civilizations with your shitty regressive views and bigotry. Fuck your nobility, fuck
your brethren
, and FUCK YOU!!
Anarcho-Primitivism - Ready to meet your sun god?
Primalism - OH COME ON! YOU CAN'T BE THIS STUPID!
Neoluddism - Unlike
that weak moderate Twitter canceller, I do have the balls to track you down with my remotely controlled drone. Closeted reactionaries like you will never be safe.
