De Francism: Difference between revisions

|likes = black supremacy

|dislikes = White elites

'''De Francism''' is an extreme authoritarian, economically left-wing, and extremely culturally progressive, ideology inhabiting the top left corner of the political compass. He believes in a utopian society based around the teachings in Rousseau's ''The Social Contract''. He is selectively elitist, anti-colonialist, and anti-clericalist. This manifests in somewhat needlessly authoritarian decrees. For instance, he forbade the elite from marrying within their own race, so they were forced to marry common folk. Some draw comparisons between De Francism and [[File:Jack.png]] [[Jacobinism]] and Maximillien de Robespierre because of their mutual radical dislike of elites and shared autocratic tendencies. Though De Francism takes away many individual freedoms and squashes dissent, it was still beloved by the people of Paraguay. De Francist foreign policy is mostly isolationist, though he will make alliances with neighbors to protect himself.

Compared to most South American autocratic ideologies, De Francism was the most culturally authoritorian, because it incorporated [[File:Pop.png]] [[Populism|populist]] policies. Though the right wing parties despised De Francism, it was praised by the left wing parties. After the death of José de Francia, De Francism mostly died off. Though most remember De Francism for it's isolationist foreign policy, it helped solidify Paraguay's place in the world as a legitimate nation and helped bring progressive ideals and values to South America.
