"Democracy, in effect, is no more than an aristocracy of orators"
Authoritarian Conservatism (AuthCon) is an authoritarian,
culturally right-wing to far-right and economically variable (ranging from centre-left to right-wing) ideology. It believes in a society following traditional values enforced through the state and typically takes the form of an
autocratic government built on conservative social values.
History
Authoritarian conservatism usually shows up as an aspect of other authoritarian ideologies, two prominent Authoritarian Conservatives would be António de Oliveira Salazar and Engelbert Dollfuss. Much of authoritarian conservatism appeared around the same time as Fascism, causing significant conflict between the two ideologies.

Nicholas II
- Nicholas II was the last Tsar of the Russian Empire from the Romanov dynasty. Better known for building the Trans-Siberian Railway, agrarian reforms (especially under Pyotr Stolypin), monetary reforms, education reforms, production growth, etc.
Almost all the years of Nicholas II's reign were marked not only by economic growth and successful achievements, but also by various tragic events in Russian life, such as the death of many thousands of people due to crush during the coronation, as well as riots and uprisings in various cities. In addition, the Russian Empire lost the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905 and then entered an extremely disadvantageous First World War, losing millions of people and complicating the situation in Russia, which led to the February Revolution of 1917.
In 1917, during the February Revolution due to anti-war discontent among the population, the Tsar abdicated the throne under pressure from the generals and senior government officials who believed that a new form of government would make Russia better and immediately lead to victory over the German Empire in World War I. After the abdication, Nicholas II and his family effectively became political prisoners and were under virtual house arrest.
In 1918, on the night of July 16 to 17, Nicholas II and his family were shot by the Bolsheviks in the basement of the Ipatiev House in Yekaterinburg.
Russian White Movement
- The White Movement (White Army, White Guard) is a Russian anti-communist movement that operated throughout the former territory of the Russian Empire in 1917-1923, with the main goal of overthrowing Soviet power.
After the October Revolution, many servicemen didn't want to put up with it, so they started an armed campaign.
Since the White Guards proclaimed the preservation of the old system in Russia (which implied recognition by the new authorities of the old credit obligations of the Russian Empire), it was actively supported by the leading Western countries (which actively lent to the economy of the Russian Empire in the last decades of its existence), including the British Empire, the United States, France, Japan and others.
Some of the leading leaders of the White Army were Alexander Kolchak, Anton Denikin, Pyotr Wrangel, Nikolai Yudenich, Anatoly Pepelyaev, Lavr Kornilov and others.
In the European part of Russia, the main hostilities involving the White movement took place in 1918-1919, and in some areas in 1920. After it became clear that the Whites could not win because of the constant lack of resources and the absence of a unified command, the Western interventionists began to retreat quickly, thus accelerating the rapid defeat of the depleted parts of the White Movement by the Bolsheviks. After 1921, anti-Soviet resistance survived only on the outskirts of the former Russian Empire, so in 1921-1923 continued active fighting in the Far East led by Pepelyaev.
With the formation of the USSR over time, the White Guards lost the civil war, after which many White generals either fled abroad or were shot by the Bolsheviks.
Those who managed to escape created their own organizations and dreamed of overthrowing the Bolsheviks. For example, Baron Wrangel created the ROVS, which still exists today. Others did not show any activity at all, but just lived their lives. For example, after his escape abroad, Denikin wrote only books and articles, but did not take any active actions.
When the Nazis came to power in Germany with Hitler, the latter hoped that he could recruit many former White Guards to his favor under the sweet promises of the return of the former united and indivisible Russia. Some of them, like Pyotr Krasnov, went to fight on the side of the Wehrmacht, but later all Hitler's plans failed, as well as the very idea of the former White generals and officers. Some White Guards on the contrary, like Denikin, supported their already Soviet homeland, and raised money to help the USSR. And in the end, the very idea of bringing back the former Russia came to naught.
Many Russians White Emigrants also strongly hoped that the USSR would not last long, would go bankrupt and disappear. However, their expectations failed - the Soviet Union ceased to exist only in 1991, and that by the hands of its party elite and "without a single shot", just when the party elite itself had finally decayed.
Vladimir Putin
- Vladimir Putin is the Russian leader, Russia's second-in-command and possibly permanent president. Putin is fervently known for his suppression of standard democratic practices and deference to other authoritarian/ totalitarian leaders. Under him, in addition to preserving traditional values and the Soviet legacy, corruption and theft have taken the lead and have become symbols of the Putin era.
The late 1990s saw the rise of the of future leader and dictator of Russia, Vladimir Putin. Within merely two years, 1997-1998, Vladimir Putin had become one of the most prominent politicians of the Russian Federation. On 25 July 1998, Yeltsin appointed Putin director of the Federal Security Service (FSB), the primary intelligence and security organization of the Russian Federation and the successor to the KGB. In 1998, he virtually privatized power in the country, ousting Boris Nemtsov and other liberals from all positions in the struggle for power. A year later Putin was appointed Acting Prime Minister of the Government of the Russian Federation by President Yeltsin. By ingratiating himself with Russia's top leadership, Putin managed to gain the position of Director of the FSB, which gave him access to the voluminous archives of compromising evidence he used against Nemtsov, presumably Yeltsin's real successor, in order to oust him.
Vladimir Putin would reach wide international recognition for his actions during the Second Chechen War. In September 1999 a series of explosions that were attributed to the Chechen Mujahideen hit four apartment blocks in the Russian cities of Buynaksk, Moscow and Volgodonsk. The Russian Apartment Bombings gained the Russian government full public for a new full-scale war in Chechnya, which boosted the popularity of now Prime Minister Putin who took a leading role in the war.
Despite the tremendous damage caused by the Second Chechen War, it was clear at this point that Putin was one of Yeltsin’s most loyal followers and his eventual successor. On 31 December 1999, Yeltsin unexpectedly resigned and, according to the Constitution of Russia, Putin became Acting President of the Russian Federation and on the same day signed a presidential decree that shielded the former president and his family from prosecution for corruption charges. Throughout his first presidential term, engaged in a violent “power struggle” with the Russian oligarchs, eventually reaching a 'grand bargain' with them. This bargain allowed the oligarchs to maintain most of their powers, in exchange for their explicit support for and alignment with Putin's government. One notable Yeltsin-era oligarch who got the short end of the stick was Mikhail Khodorkovsky, former CEO of the oil company Yukos and possibly the richest man in Russia at the time. Khodorkovsky was arrested in 2003 by Russian authorities on charges of fraud and sentenced to nine years in prison. It is widely believed that Vladimir Putin personally embezzled the wealth acquired by Khodorkovsky and Yukos, possibly becoming one of the richest men in the world.
Initially, Vladimir Putin actively supported friendly relations with Western countries and even suggested that then-President Clinton consider Russia as a possible NATO member.
In 2008, he moved into the seat of prime minister for 4 years with all his powers, making Dmitry Medvedev the formal president.
In 2012 Putin returned to the presidency through another rigged presidential election, which understandably provoked a deterioration in relations with Western countries. The 2013 law that banned gay propaganda did not help matters. Already in 2014, after the Euromaidan, Russia occupied Crimea and Donbass, thereby starting a limited war with Ukraine, which markedly increased the deterioration of relations with the collective West. As a result of these events, Putin divided the ranks of opposition-minded Russians and thus, by sowing panic in the ranks of the enemy, was able to guarantee an extension of his rule for at least another 10 years.
In 2020, Putin adopted a new Constitution of the Russian Federation, further strengthening his power and the power of the oligarchs. According to the new constitution, the president's term was nullified.
In 2022, to solve the "Ukrainian question" , he launched a 'Special Military Operation' to 'denazify' Ukraine. For this reason, Russia's relations with the West deteriorated much more, and well-known multinational corporations and other Western brands left the Russian market. In 2023, the ICC issued an arrest warrant for him, due to being charged with deportation of underage Ukrainians.
Lithuania
- Antanas Smetona - Antanas Smetona was the first president of Lithuania between 1919-1920 and 1926-1940 before it was occupied by the Soviet Union. He was one of the most important Lithuanian figures in World War I and World War II and was one of the early adopters of nationalism in Lithuania. He came to power in 1919, becoming the first president of Lithuania, after being chosen by the Lithuanian State Council, but in 1920, the Assembly chose Aleksandras Stulginskis and Smetona was not re-elected. He was arrested in 1923 for a few days for publishing an article but was released, becoming an assistant professor sometime later.
After overthrowing President Kazys Grinius in a 1926 coup d'état, he became president. As president, he suppressed parliament, later creating a constitution with much broader powers for the president, taking a dictatorial stance without parliament. He was extremely nationalistic, in which he banned Polish-speaking schools and also banned communist parties, claiming to be “non-Lithuanian force invading the country”, even though their leaders were Lithuanians. He took a hit after a farmers' strike, in which he repelled and arrested those who participated in the strike, but later support for the regime became dependent on farmers, so much so that he was cautious in industrialization and did not encourage foreign investment, but supported the sector. agricultural. His regime was the first to try the Nazis, in which he arrested 76 Nazi Hitlerites and executed 4, but had to hand over the Memel region to Nazi Germany, making his distaste for Hitler grow, appointing opponents to regain credibility. He left after the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, with the Soviet government's ultimatum, in which he proposed an armed revolt, but failed, leading a government-in-exile in Germany, stating that "I don't want to make Lithuania a Bolshevik country with my own hands".

Croatia
- Franjo Tuđman was the first president of post-Yugoslavia Croatia in 1990, he was also a member of the Yugoslav Partisans in World War II, he received his doctorate in history in 1965 and was arrested in 1972 for participating in the Croatian Spring movement. He lived anonymously until the end of communism, but began his political career in 1989, founding the Croatian Democratic Union and winning the 1990 elections.
As President of Croatia, he suppressed the Log Revolution, in which Jovan Rašković held a referendum on Serbian sovereignty and autonomy that Tuđman deemed illegal, sparking several armed conflicts in the region, especially in Knin. In 1991 he held an independence referendum which had 94% approval, declaring independence in June of the same year along with Slovenia, was celebrated with a military parade and was boycotted by Croatian Serbs. The Yugoslav government and ethnic Serbs had not accepted independence, which generated the Croatian War of Independence, in which Yugoslavia came to occupy Croatia, but failed and then the Serbian forces self-proclaimed the Krajina Republic of Serbia and had not been recognized. The Yugoslav government sent the Yugoslav People's Army to the Slovenian border with Italy, which resulted in the Ten Days War, delaying independence for 3 months. In the same year, he held several meetings with post-Yugoslav leaders such as Slobodan Milošević and Alija Izetbegović. Even though Croatia won the war in 1995, it had an economic recession of 21-25%, lost production, high number of deaths and refugees, damaged infrastructure, among others. He also participated in the Bosnian War, in which he, at first, had supported bosnian muslims, in which he sent soldiers, tanks and armaments, along with the foundation of Hrvatsko vijeće obrane (HVO, Croatian Defense Council), but then croatians started to fight against the bosniaks in order to annex Croat-majority territories. He also met with Milosevic in Karađorđevo in order go discuss the partition of Bosnia between Serbia and Croatia.
Other things like the president introduced a new constitution with political, economic and social reforms, removed communist and socialist symbols from Croatia and made several government officials who were Serbs or communists fired. There was also a lot of repression against ethnic Serbs and accusations of authoritarianism and glorification of Ustaše. In economics he had the Ministry of Privatization and the transition from a planned economy to a market economy and he had recoveries and economic growth. He also declared support for NATO and won the Zhukov Medal in 1996 for his Anti-Fascist struggle.

DeSantism
DeSantism is based on the political beliefs of Florida Governor and 2024 Republican Presidential candidate Ron DeSantis. While running for Governor, DeSantis emphasized his support for Trump by running an ad in which DeSantis taught his children how to "build the wall" and say "Make America Great Again" and dressed one of his children in a red "Make America Great Again" jumper. Asked if he could name an issue where he disagreed with Trump, DeSantis did not identify one. DeSantis ran on a platform supporting Fiscal Conservatism and opposing sanctuary cities.
In February 2021, DeSantis announced his support for several election law restrictions. He called for eliminating ballot drop boxes and limiting voting by mail by requiring that voters re-register every year to vote by mail and that signatures on mail-in ballots "match the most recent signature on file" (rather than any of the voter's signatures in the Florida system). The changes to mail-in voting were notable given that Republicans had historically voted by mail more than Democrats, but Democrats outvoted Republicans by mail in 2020. DeSantis's signature match proposal could have led to rejections of his own mail-in ballots due to changes in his signature history over time; voting rights experts argued that the signature matching proposal could be used to disenfranchise voters whose signatures varied over time.
During the COVID-19 Pandemic, DeSantis resisted imposing restrictions such as face mask mandates, stay-at-home orders, and vaccination requirements. In May 2021, he signed into law a bill that prohibited businesses, schools, cruise ships, and government entities from requiring proof of vaccination.
In March 2022, DeSantis signed into law the Parental Rights in Education Act, called the "Don't Say Gay" law by its opponents, which prohibits instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity in public school classrooms from kindergarten to grade three. In response to The Walt Disney Company's opposition to the bill, and amid an ongoing feud between DeSantis and Disney, DeSantis suggested that the Florida legislature revoke Disney World's special self-governing privileges over its 25,000-acre (10,000-hectare) property—privileges granted to the company in 1967. On April 22, 2022, he signed a bill to dissolve the Reedy Creek Improvement Act, which allows Disney to self-govern its district, by June 2023.

China
Main Article: Dengism
Chinese Neoauthoritarianism or "Chinese Neoconservatism" (Chinese: 新权威主义; pinyin: xīn quánwēi zhǔyì) is a current of political thought within the the People's Republic of China, that advocates a powerful state to facilitate market reforms.
Chinese proponents of neo-authoritarianism are opposed to radical reforms such as the transition to a western-style liberal democracy like the one seen in Russia under Mikhail Gorbachev and argue that an authoritarian and incrementalist approach is necessary to stabilize the process of modernization.
Li Peng
Li Peng was a Chinese politician who served as the fourth Premier of the the People's Republic of China from 1987 to 1998, and as the Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, China's top legislative body, from 1998 to 2003.
In 1948, Li Peng was sent to the Soviet Union to study at the Moscow Power Engineering Institute. After his graduation in 1954, he returned to China (Now under Communist rule) to work at an important national power company. He managed to escape the political turmoil of Mao's totalitarian regime due to his political connections and his employment in the company.
After the death of Mao and the opening up of China, during the Deng Xiaoping Era, Li Peng rapidly rose through the ranks of the Communist Party, with the help of Party Elder Chen Yun, and served as the Vice-Minister and Minister of Power between 1979 and 1983. Li Peng was raised to the position of Premier partially due to the departure of Hu Yaobang, who was forced to resign as General Secretary after conservative party members blamed him for a series of student-led protests in 1987.
Li Peng was an opponent of the market-liberal economic reforms pioneered by then General Secretary Zhao Ziyang, and argued that a market-driven economy and an open society would undermine the authority of the Communist Party and would make China susceptible to influence from "foreign hostile forces." Li Peng was most known for his staunch support for the use of force to quell the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989. He used his authority as premier to declare martial law and, in cooperation with Deng Xiaoping, who was the Chairman of the Central Military Commission, ordered the infamous June 4th military crackdown against student pro-democracy demonstrators in Tiananmen Square. This earned him the nickname the "Butcher of Beijing."
The death toll of the Tiananmen Square crackdown is disputed by both scholars and Communist Party officials and ranges from 200 to several thousand. Zhao Zhiyang was removed from his position as General Secretary and put under life-long house arrest for his support of the protests and was replaced by former Shanghai Party Secretary Jiang Zemin.
After Zhao was removed from office, Li Peng would continue to resist economic reform but lost influence to his successor Zhu Rongji and was unable to prevent the increasing market liberalization of the Chinese economy during the late 1990s.
Wang Huning
One of the most influential advocates for Chinese Neoconservatism is the current First Secretary of the Secretariat of the Chinese Communist Party, Wang Huning. Wang Huning previously served as Director of the Central Policy Research Office from 2002-2020 which enabled him to influence the ideology and policies of all three Paramount Leaders of the 21st Century, Jiang Zemin (1989-2002/2003), Hu Jintao (2002-2012), and Xi Jinping (2012-Present). This is an impressive feat in Chinese politics due to the many inter-party power struggles that have divided the CPC since its inception. Wang Huning's personality and beliefs were shaped after studying in the US for 6 months, the year 1988, which lead to the release of his book "America Against America" (1991), in which he tells of his contempt and criticism of western liberalism and multi-party democracy. He believes that liberal democracy is a system built on the conflict between two or multiple political parties that are only different in name and aesthetics but are actually near identical in practice and only exist to deceive the masses. Like most Chinese politicians he also despises Maoism and rejects Marxist class struggle and instead believes in a class-collaborationist catch-all party to unite the people.

South Vietnam
- Ngô Đình Diệm - Ngô Đình Diệm was appointed Prime Minister of the State of Vietnam in 1954 by former Emperor Bảo Đại. With help of his brother Ngô Đình Nhu he declared himself President of the newly created Republic of Vietnam or South Vietnam through a rigged referendum in 1955. Through a constitution written by a rubber-stamp legislature, Diệm achieved the power to create laws by decree and arbitrarily give himself emergency powers which he used to prosecute and execute political dissidents such as communists and even fellow nationalists. Diệm's regime was infamous for its preferential treatment of South Vietnam's Catholic minority which came at the expense of the country's Buddhist majority. Public servants and army officers had long been promoted on the basis of religious preference, and government contracts, US aid, business favors, and tax concessions were preferentially given to Catholics
Diệm's autocratic and despotic regime made it easy for the North Vietnamese communist government led by Hồ Chí Minh to infiltrate South Vietnam which they perceived to be a neocolonial puppet state and extension of US imperialism. In 1959 the Communist Party of Vietnam launched a people's war on the South to overthrow the US-backed capitalist government and create a unified Vietnam under communist rule.
Discontent with Diệm's rule peaked during the 1963 Buddhist Crisis and the increasing threat of the Viet Cong which had grown massively in numbers and popularity, which caused the US government of John F. Kennedy to lose faith in Diệm's leadership.
In November 1963, President Ngô Đình Diệm and the Personalist Labor Revolutionary Party of South Vietnam were deposed by a group of Army of the Republic of Vietnam officers who disagreed with his handling of both the Buddhist crisis and the Viet Cong threat to the regime.
- Nguyễn Cao Kỳ and Nguyễn Văn Thiệu - Following the 1963 coup d'etat South Vietnam was ruled by a series of short-lived military juntas for 5 years, market by infighting and military coups until 1967. Nguyễn Cao Kỳ and Nguyễn Văn Thiệu were two ARVN officers who had participated in the 1963 coup against Diệm and were able to end the cycle of coups that followed the one caused by the Buddhist crisis. Nguyễn Cao Kỳ served as Prime Minister from 1965–to 1967 and Vice President under Nguyễn Văn Thiệu from 1967-1971.
In 1965, Kỳ told the journalist Brian Moynahan: "People ask me who my heroes are. I have only one: Hitler. " This controversial statement put him at odds with President Lyndon B. Johnson who denied to the American media that Kỳ had made the remark.
Nguyễn Văn Thiệu was the President of South Vietnam from 1967-1975 and was criticized for his corruption and for appointing loyalists rather than competent officers to lead ARVN units.
During the Lunar New Year of 1968, the communists launched the infamous Tet Offensive, a massive attack on the cities of Vietnam in an attempt to topple Thiệu and Ky's government. The Tet Offensive resulted in thousands of casualties and the displacement of thousands more.
After the signing of the Paris Peace Accords—which Thiệu opposed and the US withdrawal, South Vietnam resisted the communists for another two years until the communists' final push for victory with the 1975 spring offensive, which saw the South openly invaded by the entire North Vietnamese army. Both Thiệu and Ky fled the South before the Fall of Saigon and settled in the United States.

Dubious
- Fascism - While I like how you uphold the Traditional values of your Nation and how you deal with political enemies, your more Modernist aspects are suspicious. And don't forget how you went against my Greek follower.
- Nazism - I will never forgive you for the death of Engelbert Dollfuss. Most of my followers hate you but at least Carl Schmitt was a member of your party and Paul von Hindenburg and Franz von Papen enabled your rise to power.
- Clerical Fascism & Monarcho-Fascism - The best forms of fascism but we do clash from time to time.
- White Nationalism - You don't get along well with my non-western followers but at least we both agree that South Africa was better off under Apartheid. And we both like Robert Bowers.
- Imperialism - Portugal and Francoist Spain fought to preserve their empires, but I'll never forgive the British for abandoning Rhodesia.

- Liberal Conservatism - In most cases we disagree but the Republican Establishment supported my regimes since Cold War to present day. They even used to like Putin, but now most of them don't anymore... for some reason (at least openly). Berlusconi was also good enough as a quasi-authoritarian Putin fan.
- National Conservatism - Focus less on the nation and more on the state. And please don't go after conservative anti-nationalists , conservative globalization can be good.
- National Liberalism - You're a libtard but we have the same enemies and our economics tend to be similar, and Anders Lange was a staunch supporter of Apartheid South Africa and Rhodesia.
Though your Russian and especially Taiwanese followers are cringe. - Neoconservatism - For some, you were a useful ally against communism during the Cold War in regions like Latin America and East Asia. Still, you are culturally too moderate and too willing to work with cuckservatives, some even claim you conserve nothing. And don't forget you hate authcons like Putin and Khamenei. But I admit your actions are close to global white terror, making you still based. The Bushes were good too.
- Neoliberalism - Stop pretending to be progressive. At least we both love Pinochet and Fujimori.
- Paleolibertarianism - It's nice that you want conservative values and all, but you need to learn that it just can't be done without a big state.
- Libertarian Conservatism - Your social conservative views are great, but the state needs to have more authority. At least Friedman supported Pinochet.
- Right-Wing Populism - Although I despise populism, people like Orbán and Erdoğan have become me.
- Rockefeller Republicanism - Way too moderate but thanks for aiding the creation of South Vietnam, signing the Pact of Madrid and your hardline anti-communist stance during the Cold War. But why support Pahlavi?

- Social Authoritarianism - Almost me when I'm more welfarist and regulationist. Lukashenko and Thanarat are based, but some of you like Kemal and Thaksin are culturally left so….
- Tridemism - I have mixed views on Sun Yat-sen as he promoted western progressive and democratic ideals and traditional Chinese cultural conservatism with an authoritarian political tutelage. Chiang Kai-shek was mega based with his white terror, New Life Movement, and Chinese Cultural Renaissance Movement in Taiwan, though. Right-KMT used to be so based during the Martial Law era! What has happened to them? The Left-Wing KMT is, on the other hand, mega cringe.
Revisionary Left-Wing KMT is kinda based for their pro-Xi stance, though. - İttihadism - Too modernist and I don't like how you got rid of Abdulhamid II, but you still cared for your nation's traditions. Also, based for opposing Ataturk later on.
- Anti-Japaneseism - We together burn ecchi and hentai manga, but stop being so anarkiddy, and too reactionary even for me, because he wants to jump well past before the birth of Jesus. And Tokugawa Japan was actually not that bad.
- National Communism - One of the few tolerable commies as you don't aim for world revolution and keep your flawed ideas within your respective country's borders. Ceaușescu, Zhivkov, and Husak were based!
- Three Represents - Good job setting up The Great Firewall and Police State to crush dissidents and preserve the one-party rule. But your persecution of Falun Gong among other religious groups was completely unnecessary as they would've made useful allies against western liberal ideas. Also, let's not forget that you turned a blind eye to the rise of prostitution and drug usage, and even legalized homosexuality. I'm thankful that Xi removed you and your degenerate cronies from power.
- Falun Gong Theocracy - Based reactionarism. It was a mistake for Jiang to ban your movement as you would've made a useful ally for the CPC against liberal and Maoist degeneracy. However, I wished you stopped supporting Taiwan DPP even if it is for understandable reasons.
- Juche - I won't forgive what you did to my South Korean counterpart during Korean War. However, considering, that your Southern neighbor became a degenerate liberal democracy and that you've abandoned Marxism-Leninism I wouldn't mind if the Korean peninsula reunited under your rule.
- Ho Chi Minh Thought - I fought you during and after the Vietnam War and narrowly managed to contain the rise of communism in South East Asia. However, it seems like you've largely abandoned your former dogmatic communist ideas over time and is currently following in the footsteps of your Chinese counterpart, which is fine by me. Also, many South Vietnamese refugees who fled to the US have been moving back to Vietnam which means you've learned from your past mistakes.
- Pol Potism - Overthrowing Lon Nol's regime was very cringe but my followers in Thailand provided you with support against the Vietnamese and gave you medical care when you needed it. But come on, ultra-agrarianism and worshipping the medieval Khmer Empire is too far even for me, I want to jump back 400 years at most.
- Chavismo - Mixed bag overall, he set Venezuelan economy on its way to ruin but he also was kind of friendly with Russia.
- Mugabeism - Rhodesia will be missed but you are not so bad either as you had based social policies. If only Mandela had followed your example in South Africa and if you didn't completely screw the economy.
- Korwinism - HOW. CAN. YOU. HELP. SPREAD. TRADITION. WITHOUT. A. STA- Wait... you hate democracy? You also like Pinochet AND support the death penalty? Curious...
- Ba'athism - Your Iraqi counterpart is super based after 1993, but I'm not pretty sure about your Syrian part, however, Putin helps you in the Syrian Civil War.
Degenerates
- Leninism - White Terror beats Red, all your efforts went to ruin the second Stalin took charge and I AM GLAD FOR IT!
- Marxism-Leninism - You're a filthy commie who helped destroy the glorious Russian Empire and its culture.
Thanks for recriminalizing homosexuality and abortion. - Trotskyism - You aren't even better than Stalin in the slightest. In fact, you're worse than him in almost every way and you represent the one form of imperialism I hate, red imperialism, that is.
- Maoism - The worst of the worst. You beat my Chinese counterpart Chiang Kai-shek and launched the cultural revolution to destroy traditional Chinese culture. I also won't forgive you for your support of other communist movements in Korea, Vietnam, and Thailand, during the Cold War. Xi and Deng have done well in cleaning the shit you caused.
- Taiwanese Pan-Green - Ending White Terror and Martial Law was a mistake. At this point, I support Chinese reunification under Xiist CCP's rule.
- Titoism - The Breakup of Yugoslavia go brr...
- Queer Anarchism - *bonk* Go to horni jail, degenerate!
- Homoconservatism - How are you a conservative? This makes absolutely zero sense!
- Bleeding-Heart Libertarianism, Civil Libertarianism, & Social Libertarianism - Small state and degenerate progressive values are truly disgusting.
- European Federalism - Keep your hands off Poland, Hungary, Belarus, and Russia, you degenerate!
- Enlightened Absolutism - Abmon betrayed me with all this "progress" crap.
- Meijism - REEEEE YOU DEPOSED MY GLORIOUS SHOGUNATE!
Never mind that Tokugawa Yoshinobu was a cuckservative. - Progressivism - My eternal arch-enemy and an agent of cultural marxism whose only purpose is to spread degeneracy and destroy traditional values. COINTELPRO didn’t go far enough.
- Revolutionary Progressivism - As if normal Progressivism wasn't bad enough... Deploy the secret police, you're going to the basement.
- National Progressivism - Nationalism but without its good parts. Basically an unironic Nationalistic degenerate.
- Progressive Conservatism - Liberal Conservatism unmasked. What do you really conserve again?
- Pahlavism - I don't care about your anti-communism. You were the worst US-backed dictator during the Cold War. The Islamic Revolution was justified as you destroyed Iranian culture with your woke women's rights and secularism.
Just ignore that some of my variants are secular conservative feminists and that we both love white terror. - Kemalism - Same as the above. Progressivism, Laicism, and feminism are all cringe. Menderes was a cuckservative. I’d always support Erdogan over you. Evren was great though.
- Third Way - Woke Imperialism sounds like a true nightmare.
- State Liberalism - Another Woke Imperialist. YOU have a strong state for completely wrong reasons.
- Mandelaism - Because of your stupid policies and liberal degeneracy it is clear to me that South Africa was much better off under Apartheid. If you had followed a similar path as Mugabe, instead, I would have had much more respect for you.
- Thaksinism and Yingluckism - You two morons deserved a coup d'etat for breaking Section 112 of the Thai Criminal Code and for spreading liberal degenerate ideas in Thailand.
- Anarcho-Nihilism - You oppose all my values. Off to the prison with you, degenerate.
But you're against everything I don't like, which is very very based. You just need to learn to like literally anything. - Agorism - Aren't you the same as above? No? Well, you also go to prison for smuggling degeneracy into our great nation.
- Satanic Theocracy - Praising the Great Enemy with orgies, rock'n'roll and playing Dungeons and Demons, or whatever its name was? Not on my watch! Down with this sort of thing! Somebody think of the children!
- Secular Satanism - Ah, there are more devil-worshippers around to smite... what do you mean you don't actually worship anyone? Anyway, I'll send you both to jail - TST for being anti-religious neo-Jacobin freaks and the LaVeyans for being hedonistic degenerates.
- State of Nature and Illegalism - You are the reason why Leviathan exists.
Wait, I created you? - Post-Leftism - You are the embodiment of most things I hate and want to destroy.
- Anti-Authoritarianism - Calm the hell down or I'm sending in the riot police!
- Insurrectionary Anarchism - Even more bloody insane than him. You're not even getting a basement, you're getting a bullet on the spot!
- Liberal Democracy - I dream of the day when I finally have you kneeling before me, staring into the barrel of my pistol and begging for mercy, as I say "no" and put a bullet through your stupid head.
