'''Bonapartism''' is an Authoritarian Unity and culturally center ideology based on the beliefs of Napoleon Bonaparte and his followers and successors. in the strict sense, it aims to establish an imperial regime in France at the head of which would be placed a member of the family of Napoleon Bonaparte, and in the broadest sense, it aims to establish a nation-state with a strong and centralized executive which is authoritarian and largely undemocratic, but Republican in essence and which regularly consults the will of the people through plebiscites. Bonapartism is a very big tent ideology; Napoleon III once commented on the ideological diversity of his court, saying "The Empress is a [[File:LouisXVIIIBall.png]] [[Reactionaryism|Legitimist]], Morny is an [[File:LouisPhilippeBall.png]] [[Constitutional Monarchism|Orléanist]], Prince Napoleon is a [[File:Republicanismpix.png]] [[Republicanism|Republican]], and I myself am a [[File:Monsoc.png]] [[Monarcho-Socialism|Socialist]]. There is only one [[File:Bonaparte.png]] Bonapartist, [[File:Arist.png]] [[Aristocracy|Persigny]] - and he is mad!"

==History==
==History==
After the death of [[File:Jack.png]] Maximilien Robespierre, the French Directory controlled France. This government was extremely unpopular, so a young Corsican boy by the name of Napoleon Bonaparte overthrew the government and proclaimed himself the First Consul. Then eventually, as he protected France and expanded his borders, he gained more and more popularity and therefore crowned himself as Emperor.
After the death of [[File:Jack.png]] Maximilien Robespierre, the French Directory controlled France. This government was extremely unpopular, so a young Corsican boy by the name of Napoleon Bonaparte overthrew the government and proclaimed himself the First Consul. Then eventually, as he protected France and expanded his borders, he gained more and more popularity and therefore crowned himself as Emperor.

== Beliefs ==

=== Centralization ===
Napoleon aimed to dismantle feudal privileges and create a more meritocratic society. His legal reforms, such as the Napoleonic Code, sought to establish a uniform legal system and reduce the influence of traditional feudal structures. Napoleon introduced a series of centralizing administrative reforms soon after taking power. In 1800, he established prefects appointed to run France's regional departments, sub-prefects to run districts and mayors to run towns. Local representative bodies were retained, but their powers were reduced and indirect elections with a high property qualification replaced direct elections. Real power in the regions was now in the hands of the prefects who were judged by how they met the main priorities of Napoleon's government: efficient administration, law and order, stimulating the local economy, gathering votes for plebiscites, conscripting soldiers and provisioning the army.

An enduring reform was the foundation, in December 1799, of the Council of State, an advisory body of experts which could also draft laws for submission to the legislative body. Napoleon drew many of his ministers and ambassadors from the council. It was the council which undertook the codification of French law.

Napoleon admired the leadership style of ancient Roman leaders and established an imperial system with himself at the helm. This reflects elements of Caesarism, characterized by strong, centralized rule led by a charismatic leader.

Napoleon's rule was characterized by a strong and centralized police state. He used a combination of military and police power to maintain control and suppress dissent.

=== Anti-Feminism ===
Napoleon's regime was characterized by conservative views on gender roles. While not explicitly anti-feminist in the modern sense, his policies favored traditional family structures, and he rolled back some of the rights that women had gained during the French Revolution.

=== Anti-Reactionaryism ===
Napoleon sought to consolidate the gains of the French Revolution and resisted efforts to restore the monarchy. He implemented reforms to maintain revolutionary ideals while consolidating his own power.

=== Anti-Serfdom ===
Napoleon aimed to modernize France and reduce the influence of social hierarchies. While he did not completely eliminate serfdom, his reforms moved towards greater social equality.



=== Enlightened Absolutism ===
Napoleon admired Enlightenment ideas and implemented reforms inspired by these principles. However, he combined these with absolute rule, reflecting a pragmatic approach to governance.

=== Imperialism ===
Napoleon's military campaigns and territorial expansion reflect imperialistic tendencies, as he sought to extend French influence across Europe.

=== Nationalism ===
Napoleon promoted a sense of French nationalism, emphasizing national identity and loyalty to the state. His military campaigns aimed to spread French revolutionary ideals and establish French hegemony.

=== Populism ===
Napoleon cultivated support among the French populace. His rise to power was fueled by his popularity as a military leader and his ability to appeal to nationalist sentiments.

=== Progressive Conservatism ===
Napoleon's rule combined elements of both progressivism and conservatism. He implemented reforms while also maintaining a strong central authority and a hierarchical social structure.

== Variants ==

==Personality==
==Personality==
Bonapartism supports the Enlightenment and supports spreading its values everywhere, however; he is also a pragmatist and thus doesn't support too much radical change.

Bonapartism is an Authoritarian Unity and culturally center ideology based on the beliefs of Napoleon Bonaparte and his followers and successors. in the strict sense, it aims to establish an imperial regime in France at the head of which would be placed a member of the family of Napoleon Bonaparte, and in the broadest sense, it aims to establish a nation-state with a strong and centralized executive which is authoritarian and largely undemocratic but relied on plebiscites to rise to power both times. Bonapartism is a very big tent ideology; Napoleon III once commented on the ideological diversity of his court, saying "The Empress is a Legitimist, Morny is an Orléanist, Prince Napoleon is a Republican, and I myself am a Socialist. There is only one Bonapartist, Persigny - and he is mad!"

History

After the death of Maximilien Robespierre, the French Directory controlled France. This government was extremely unpopular, so a young Corsican boy by the name of Napoleon Bonaparte overthrew the government and proclaimed himself the First Consul. Then eventually, as he protected France and expanded his borders, he gained more and more popularity and therefore crowned himself as Emperor.

Personality

Bonapartism supports the Enlightenment and supports spreading its values everywhere, however; he is also a pragmatist and thus doesn't support too much radical change.

He wants to usurp the throne of Spain & really hates Russia for some reason.

Bonapartism as a pejorative

In modern times, the term "Bonapartism" has been used more generally for a political movement that advocates an authoritarian centralized state, with a strongman charismatic leader based on anti-elitist rhetoric, army support, as well as conservatism. Within leftists circles, Bonapartism is used to describe counter-revolutionary authoritarian leaders that use leftist, anti-capitalist, or anti-imperialist rhetoric as means to gain support from the masses but once in power rule like an emperor for life and revert the gains of the revolution to benefit themselves and a new caste of elites.

Bonapartism is often seen as the precursor to various Fascist ideologies espoused by the likes of Benito Mussolini, Adolf Hitler, and Oswald Mosley.

Leaders and political figures. that aren't clearly left or right may be referred to as Bonapartists. This includes US senator and governor of Louisiana Huey Long, Argentine dictator Juan Perón, former Prime Minister of Thailand and exiled billionaire, Thaksin Shinawatra, etc. All aforementioned politicians combined policies that are associated with both the left and right while using authoritarian tactics to maintain power.

Bonapartism is often used by many leftists including Marxists, anarchists, Trotskyists, and left communists, to describe anti-communist authoritarian socialists such as Gamal Abdel Nasser, Ne Win, Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, Hafez al-Assad, Bashar al-Assad, Yasser Arafat, etc, who all explicitly rejected Marxist class struggle in favor of class collaborationism and actively banned or persecuted domestic left-wing movements while also being allied to the Soviet Union, which some would argue was itself an elitist Bonapartist regime of its own.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is sometimes described as a Bonapartist leader with a Napoleon Complex due to his ability to gain support from people on the left and the far-right alike, despite maintaining and strengthening Russia's oligarchic system for his own benefit at the expense of the Russian (and Ukrainian) working class.

How to Draw

The design of Bonapartism is based around two symbols - the flag and coat of arms of the First French Empire.

Flag of Bonapartism
  1. Draw a ball
  2. Make the French flag by coloring the ball navy blue-white-red with three vertical bands
  3. Add two golden staffs crossed diagonally in the center white band
  4. On top of the staffs draw a cobalt blue shield with a golden eagle in the middle
  5. Add a golden necklace around the shield, going from the upper sides to the bottom
  6. Draw a crowned gold knight helmet on top of the shield
  7. From the helmet, draw golden wavy stripes going to the sides
  8. Draw the ball wearing a black Bicorne, brimmed with yellow and fitted with a maroon-white cockade
  9. Add the two eyes

You're done!

Relationships

Amis (Friends)

Neutre (Neutral)

  • Catholic Theocracy - Our relationship was more than complicated, I restored you in France and brought back some of your functions but we were at odds constantly, for which you excommunicated me. In the end, we reconciled and I became a Catholic once more till my death.
  • Nationalism - I support Corsica and was bullied for it, but became a French emperor!!!
  • Republicanism - I am the true successor to the revolution!
  • Constitutionalism - "A Constitution should be short and obscure"
  • Classical Liberalism, Enlightenment Thought - The people shall have rights, but shall not have the vote!
  • Integral Nationalism - I love France too but why don't you like the Enlightenment?
  • Jacobinism - I used to be one of you, but everything after you did was a terrible idea!
  • Marxism–Leninism - I mostly like what I see here, but what's with this anti-imperialism talk?
  • Reactionary Socialism - Good direction overall, but why feudalism? Imperialism is good, but crusadism?
  • Fascism - Why do you admire me?
  • Nazism - You visited my grave?[1]
  • Islamic Theocracy - While Muhammad was a great man, France cannot accommodate your model. At least you also throw them in the trash.
  • Reactionaryism - Jacobins say I'm you, some of you hate me, while others support me. But no matter what you or they say, I'm a modernizing force who destroyed the old order. That being said, I did restore the Church and I did end the arguably liberal Thermidorians.

Ennemis (Enemies)

    • Well, yeah.
  • Bismarckism - F*cking Prussian!! You ruined my second chance!
