'''African Socialism''' is an economically left-wing and culturally variable ideology. It is a pan-Africanist and socialist ideology that believes in sharing economic resources based on traditional African methods of doing so. There have been multiple conceptions of African Socialism historically, with differing variants coming from many different theorists, leaders and revolutionaries. While African Socialists are typically Marxists, specifically Marxist-Leninists, this is not always the case. It heavily opposes capitalism, colonialism and imperialism.
==
African Socialism first
==Beliefs==
African Socialists have a wide range of beliefs, In general, they believe in an anti-capitalist economic policy and resistance to colonial imperialism. Some see the concept of liberal class as a white foreign concept that goes against the concept of the tribe which has been enlarged to all of Africa through a common struggle against foreign exploitation.
==Conceptions==

[[File:Sankara
'''Sankarism''' is an authleft ideology in Burkina Faso based on the ideas of Thomas Sankara, who was an anti-colonial, feminist and Marxist-Leninist revolutionary and president. Sankarism is left-wing, pan-Africanist and anti-imperialist. Thomas Sankara was sometimes dubbed the "[[Guevarism|Che Guevara]] of Africa" and stood in opposition to the cult of personality unlike other [[File:ML.png]] [[
Though Thomas Sankara himself was a communist and Marxist-Leninist, many Burkinabe people and organizations who follow [[

===[[File:FranceAlbertRené.png]] Indian Ocean Socialism [[File:Cball-Republic_Seychelles_2.png]]===
Indian Ocean Socialism was the ideology of France-Albert René, the second president of the Seychelles from 1977 to 2004. Under his rule, the Seychelles built one of Africa's highest gross domestic products per capita.
===[[File:Mandela.png]] Mandelaism===
Anti-Apartheid revolutionary and South Africa's first black leader,
[[File:Mandela.png]] Nelson Mandela ideologically self-identified as a Socialist and ultimately believed in a classless society, having been influenced by [[File:Ormarxf.png]] [[Marxism]]. But when in power he supported the country's [[File:Liberal Democracy.png]] liberal democratic model, while still taking strong measures to combat poverty, encourage land reform, and expanding healthcare services. He expressed desires to move to a [[File:Socdem.png]] [[Social Democracy|social-democratic]] economy but figured that it wasn't possible due to the circumstances at the time (the fall of the USSR and the ascendency of [[File:Neoliberal-icon.png]] [[neoliberalism]].)
===[[File:Cball-Ghana.png]] Nkrumaism [[File:Nkrumah.png]]===
'''Nkrumaism''' is the ideology of the Ghanian president and revolutionary Kwame Nkrumah.
{{Quote|quote=Nkrumaism is simply the ideology for the new Africa, independent and absolutely free from [[File:Imp.png]] [[imperialism]], organised on a continental scale, founded upon the conception of one and united Africa, drawing its strength from modern science and technology and from the traditional African belief that the free development of each is conditioned by the free development of all.}}
Nkrumaism served as the state ideology of Ghana during Kwame Nkrumah's reign. Although Nkrumah and his political scientists heavily invested in the theoretical framework of this ideology, his ultimate goals were never truly realized.

Afrsoc has trauma towards [[File:Colonial.png]] [[Imperialism|colonalism]] and tries to lead his nation forward. Like his father [[File:Pan-Africanism.png]] [[Pan-Nationalism|Pan-Africanism]], he believes in African unity and will persuade his brothers into doing so. Because he believes [[File:Cap.png]] [[Capitalism]] was the mindest of [[File:Imp.png]] [[Imperialism|all colonialist empires]] by [[File:Corp.png]] corporate slave holdings, he blames capitalism for Africa's poverty and troubles and believes any capitalist in the African continent is none more than a "traitor" and "western-backed neocolonial puppet".

"When we planned our country's economic development, we had the strategic objective of our Revolution in mind. It was not planned for economic development [to be] solely an end in itself. There are some who have forgotten that the sole basis of our revolutionary struggle was the ideology and politics which we follow..."
African Socialism is an economically left-wing and culturally variable ideology. It is a pan-Africanist and socialist ideology that believes in sharing economic resources based on traditional African methods of doing so. There have been multiple conceptions of African Socialism historically, with differing variants coming from many different theorists, leaders and revolutionaries. While African Socialists are typically Marxists, specifically Marxist-Leninists, this is not always the case. It heavily opposes capitalism, colonialism and imperialism.
History
African Socialism first came about in 1956 with the book "Les masses africaines et l'actuelle condition humaine". From 1983-1987, a form of African Socialism created by Sankara came to mainstream politics in Burkina Faso called Sankarism
. Throughout its history,
Marxism has played a major rule in the evolution of African Socialism. From 1952-1966,
Nkrumaism/Nkrumahism became a popular form of African Socialism in Ghanian politics. Following the Angolan Civil War,
Angola came under a
Marxist-Leninist government.
Angola later removed the
Marxist-Leninist system, but continues to be 'Socialist' to this day.
Beliefs
African Socialists have a wide range of beliefs, In general, they believe in an anti-capitalist economic policy and resistance to colonial imperialism. Some see the concept of liberal class as a white foreign concept that goes against the concept of the tribe which has been enlarged to all of Africa through a common struggle against foreign exploitation.
Conceptions
Sankarism ![](//static.miraheze.org/polcompballwiki/2/20/Sankar.png)
Sankarism is an authleft ideology in Burkina Faso based on the ideas of Thomas Sankara, who was an anti-colonial, feminist and Marxist-Leninist revolutionary and president. Sankarism is left-wing, pan-Africanist and anti-imperialist. Thomas Sankara was sometimes dubbed the "Che Guevara of Africa" and stood in opposition to the cult of personality unlike other Marxist-Leninist ideologies.
Though Thomas Sankara himself was a communist and Marxist-Leninist, many Burkinabe people and organizations who follow Social Democracy,
Populism, or
Nationalism have also dubbed themselves "Sankarists".

Indian Ocean Socialism ![](//static.miraheze.org/polcompballwiki/0/0a/Cball-Republic_Seychelles_2.png)
Indian Ocean Socialism was the ideology of France-Albert René, the second president of the Seychelles from 1977 to 2004. Under his rule, the Seychelles built one of Africa's highest gross domestic products per capita.
Mandelaism
Anti-Apartheid revolutionary and South Africa's first black leader,
Nelson Mandela ideologically self-identified as a Socialist and ultimately believed in a classless society, having been influenced by
Marxism. But when in power he supported the country's
liberal democratic model, while still taking strong measures to combat poverty, encourage land reform, and expanding healthcare services. He expressed desires to move to a
social-democratic economy but figured that it wasn't possible due to the circumstances at the time (the fall of the USSR and the ascendency of
neoliberalism.)
Nkrumaism ![](//static.miraheze.org/polcompballwiki/a/a6/Nkrumah.png)
Nkrumaism is the ideology of the Ghanian president and revolutionary Kwame Nkrumah. The goal of Nkrumaism is the expulsion of colonial powers from Africa, and the union of all African foreign colonies under one borderless African superstate. Kwame Nkrumah's Socialist ideology was influenced by
Marx,
Lenin, and
Mao, and he invested into bringing foreign theorists to help develop his specific ideology. There was initial struggle to differentiate it from other forms of Marxist ideology, but eventually, The Kwame Nkrumah institute reached the conclusion that:
Nkrumaism is simply the ideology for the new Africa, independent and absolutely free from
imperialism, organised on a continental scale, founded upon the conception of one and united Africa, drawing its strength from modern science and technology and from the traditional African belief that the free development of each is conditioned by the free development of all.
Nkrumaism served as the state ideology of Ghana during Kwame Nkrumah's reign. Although Nkrumah and his political scientists heavily invested in the theoretical framework of this ideology, his ultimate goals were never truly realized.
Ujamaa ![](//static.miraheze.org/polcompballwiki/a/a4/Nyerere.png)
Ujamaa, which translates to family or cooperative family, was the ideology practiced in Tanzania by it's creator Julius Nyerere. It acts as a socialist economy in which key industries are nationalized and other components of the economy are united under a central democracy.

Personality
Afrsoc has trauma towards colonalism and tries to lead his nation forward. Like his father
Pan-Africanism, he believes in African unity and will persuade his brothers into doing so. Because he believes
Capitalism was the mindest of
all colonialist empires by
corporate slave holdings, he blames capitalism for Africa's poverty and troubles and believes any capitalist in the African continent is none more than a "traitor" and "western-backed neocolonial puppet".
