Ideology

List of ideologies:

Utopianism
A mostly extinct doctrine that sought to build a socially just society on the basis of ethics and moralism rather than any sort of material argument. Utopianists were mostly known for founding self-reliant colonies on the edges of civilization where like minded folk could immigrate and live a communal lifestyle steeped in moral teachings. Most of these colonies quickly failed or devolved into cults though there are a few that have managed to prosper, although they've had to incorporate elements of Fusionism to stay viable. Today there are few Utopianist remnants in the civilised core, mostly composed of a few secret societies and religious movements incorporating elements of Utopianist moralism.

Labourism
By far the largest left wing movement, Labourism started on the factory floors and dockyards rather than in academia and centers on trade unionism and practical mutual aid associations. The movement started as a working class response to the increasing pressures of industrial civilization. It has since gained many academics to its cause and there are many competing branches of Labourist thought. Most center on the organisation of workers into unions as a way to fight against and eventually vanquish capital. Some important Labourist names are the Lunglander Maurice Gugga, an economist and philosopher known for his work on the practical value of labour, Adelie de Sainct-Gilles, a sociologist turned activist known for her in depth analysis of worker organisations and Herst Rupnick, a statistician known for describing the law of fixed value averages.

Fusionism
Fusionism is a common term for a broad range of movements descended from labourism which have stopped seeking the overthrow of the capitalist system and instead seek to reform it by incorporating elements of labourism into it. Some of the more famous fusionist movements are Toroshian Farmer-Labourism that grew out of a successful peasant uprising, the religious Hartlander Lay Works Society and of course Torsklander Practical Labourism. Torsklander P-Ls have managed to wrestle complete control of the ports and industrial cities of the northern nation and present a shining example of fusionist potential.

Constructionism
Constructionism is a niche but quickly growing movement started about half a century ago by the works of the statistician Ernst-Maria Halbbe. More of an outgrowth of applying principles of physical science to social problems than the result of a social movement, Constructionism is championed mostly by engineers. Constructionism seeks to apply the knowledge gained in the past decades in fields such as Physiology, Biomechanics or Applied Medicine and apply them to human systems. A rather cold ideology, constructionism seeks to do away with the inefficiencies of capitalism and replace them with a new rational order meant to rebuild human society in order to maximise efficiency and thus produce the most for most. Constructionism has been gaining more and more steam as the war has progressed with many constructionist policies being applied by even very conservative governments in attempts to better guide the ever growing war effort.

Kriegskollektiv
A type of warrior's association common amongst the roving gangs and petty warlords of the Great Salient and the Zone Rouge.

Mannerbund is a German word for “men’s union” or “male bond.” This specifically refers to “bonded men “or a “band of brothers” with a common sworn statement. This brotherhood is observed to have definite rules and rituals and usually follows a hierarchical order. Being a member of this alliance is expressed through a specific symbol, outfit, tattoos, and hairstyle. This association is for men only; no women are allowed to join or become part of it.

The Ver Sacrum, commonly known as “holy spring” in Latin, was a tradition of ancient Italians, where a group of young men was sent out from the union to conquer lands for their livelihood and for starting a new clan.

“No man should be admitted here who is older than fifty, and no younger than eighteen. Everyone should be in between. Blood ties should not play a compensatory role in accepting men who did not conform to the law. No man should flee from one equally combative and equally armed. Each should avenge the other like his brother.

No one should utter a word of fear or despair in any situation, however hopeless it may seem. Everything they captured on the expeditions they were to bring to the pole, lesser or greater goods that were worth money. And if someone hadn’t done that, he should have to go. No one should slander.

However, if any news should come out, no one should be so impertinent as to share it publicly; then Palnatoki was to announce all the news there. No one should have a wife in the castle, and no one should be away for more than three nights.

And if a man were admitted who had killed the father or brother of a man who was there before, or any other related man, and that came out later after he was admitted, Palnatoki was to decide all that, and so with everyone else discord that would arise among them.”
