Posadism
"Atomic war is inevitable. It will destroy half of humanity: it is going to destroy immense human riches. It is very possible. The atomic war is going to provoke a true inferno on Earth. But it will not impede Communism."
Posadism is an authoritarian and economically left ideology based off the ideas of J. Posadas. He's the "crazy cousin" of the leftist family, and holds very unorthodox views. He holds the belief that socialism can only be achieved after the collapse of society after a global nuclear war.
He also believes that socialist alien civilizations with advanced technology exist, and will help humanity rebuild earth into a utopia after the nuclear collapse and that humans can communicate with dolphins and probably other animals too, saying that work in the area would lead to "the harmonization of human relations with nature".
Other beliefs he holds include a fervor for water birthing and the belief that humans will ultimately end up reproducing asexually "like amoeba", curing "miserable, abominable sexual excitement", however, many Posadists argue against the latter.
History
Life of J. Posadas
In the 1930s, he worked as a shoemaker and organized a union of shoemakers and tanners in the city of Cordoba. During this period, he stood as a candidate in the provincial elections in Buenos Aires from the Socialist Workers' Party. He then joined the Revolutionary Socialist Party, which joined the Fourth International in 1941.
Leader of the Latin American 4th International
Posadas became the leader of the Latin American Bureau of the Fourth International, and under his leadership the Trotskyist movement began to spread throughout the region. The Trotskyists were particularly influential among Cuban railway workers, Bolivian miners and agricultural workers in Brazil.
In 1946, the Revolutionary Workers' Party was created. When the Fourth International split in 1953, Posadas and his supporters supported Michel Pablo and the International Secretariat.
Breakaway from the 4th International
However, by 1959, relations between the Latin American Bureau and the International Secretariat were quite tense. The complaints against the international leadership were that they were not confident enough in considering revolutionary prospects. There were also differences in approaches to nuclear war. Posadas believed that a nuclear “war-revolution” could “lead to the death of Stalinism and capitalism,” and that nuclear war was inevitable and desirable for the formation of a socialist society. Posadas and his supporters, largely concentrated in Argentina, broke away from the ISFI in 1962.
Cultism in the Fourth International Posadist
In recent years, Posadas has been involved with various esoteric ideas and has written about communications with dolphins and human life underwater.
Since 1968, Posadas has also become famous for his theories regarding UFOs. He believed that the existence of UFOs confirmed the existence of socialism on other planets, that only a socialist society could create the technologies necessary for interplanetary travel. In his brochure “Flying Saucers, the Movement of Matter and Energy, Science and Socialism,” Posadas reflected that UFOs would not stay on Earth for very long because:
“capitalism is not interesting to UFO pilots... They are also not interested in the Soviet bureaucracy, since it is not has no prospects." J.Posadas

Personality
Posadism has an eccentric personality, he is a self-described "ufologist", claiming to have been possibly abducted, and may or may not have regular sexual relations with dolphins (which he vehemently denies). He is extremely high 90% of the time. He is a conspiracy theorist through and through, and his paranoia will often get in the way of logic, especially when aliens are involved. He also has an impulse disorder related to explosions and will bomb things regularly for the fun of it. He can also be found reading and sometimes watching The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, watching Star Trek, and listening to space rock groups. He is considered as retarded and rejected by everyone.

Due to being a post-apocalyptic ideology, a lot of ideologies have negative views on Posadism, including most leftist ideologies. This hatred is mutual, because of culturally noveltist views this ideology hates mainstream leftists for not being progressive enough.
