    == Personality ==
    Reactionary Socialism is very religious (generally Catholic, can be Orthodox) and traditional, like his father. However, he gets an explosive temper from his mother, and can usually be seen telling the proletariat to revolt against the unnatural plight of capitalism. Can be depicted speaking in Middle English, holding a sword and sickle or a musket, or holding some sweet Victorian -era flags.
     
    == Beliefs ==
    The beliefs of reactionary socialists can vary greatly. Generally, they want small -scale worker democracy (like distributism), an artisan economy, a return to ruralism and the agrarian lifestyle, a planned economy, a return to some traditional religion, and a Monarchist or autocratic government system. However, they generally hate centralism, instead preferring federalism and localism. Some see socialism as an endsend to itself (once it gets rid of the materialism and egalitarianism), while some see it as a step towards reinstating feudalism. Can be very hostile toward technology.

    === [[File:Revolutionary_Conservatism.png|link=https://philosophyball.miraheze.org/wiki/File:Revolutionary_Conservatism.png]] Conservative Revolution ===
    # Draw a ball.
    '''Conservative Revolution''' is a movement in Germany and Austria between World War I and the rise of the Nazis. Its members wanted to change society, but they disagreed on how. They rejected egalitarianism, Liberal democracy, and modern culture, with some rejecting Christianity. Instead, they admired ideas from the past, like Friedrich Nietzsche's views, German Romanticism, and Prussian nationalism. They also drew from their experiences in World War I.
    # Color it in with red
    # Draw a yellow/buff Jerusalem Cross (without the tiny crosses) inside a yellow/buff circle.
    # Draw some eyes.
    # (Optional) draw a cool hat, and/or cool victorian era weapons. You're all done!
     
    Their connection to Nazism was complex. Some saw them as a step towards fascism, but they were not the same. They didn't all believe in Nazi ideas about race. While they helped pave the way for the Nazis, they didn't have much influence on them. When the Nazis took over, most Conservative Revolutionaries were either killed or rejected the Nazi regime.

    === Friends ===
    Later, their ideas influenced movements like the European New Right, which includes groups like the French Nouvelle Droite and German Neue Rechte. These ideas are still influential today, shaping movements like the European Identitarian movement.
    *[[File:Monarch.png]] [[Monarchism]] - The best governmental system, unfortunately impractical in the modern world.
     
    *[[File:Trad.png]] [[Traditionalism]] - "Traditionalism is the most revolutionary ideal of our times", full on agree!
    ==== New Nationalism and Morality ====
    *[[File:Euras.png]] [[Fourth Theory]] - My more modern counterpart.
    Conservative Revolutionaries believed their nationalism differed significantly from previous forms of German nationalism and conservatism. They criticized traditional Wilhelmine conservatives for being reactionary and failing to grasp modern concepts like technology, urbanization, and the working class.
     
    Moeller van den Bruck described Conservative Revolution as preserving values inseparable from the Volk (ethnic group), which endure through time due to adaptations in their institutional and ideal forms. Unlike pure reactionaries or revolutionaries, Conservative Revolutionaries aimed to shape eternal values to ensure their survival amid historical changes. Edgar Jung rejected the notion that true conservatives aimed to halt progress. They sought a chivalric way of life guided by innate morality rather than a conscious moral code. Conservative revolutionaries aimed to restore natural laws and values within the modern world.
     
    Influenced by Nietzsche, many rejected Christian ethics of solidarity and equality, viewing them as oppressive to the strong. They advocated for nations to prioritize self-interest over moral standards in geopolitics. Völkischen, influenced by racialist and occultist beliefs, opposed Christianity and sought a return to Germanic pagan faith or the adaptation of Christianity to remove foreign influences.
     
    ==== Volksgemeinschaft and Dictatorship ====
    Thomas Mann believed that German resistance during World War I was stronger militarily than spiritually because the German essence couldn't easily express itself verbally, making it difficult to counter Western rhetoric effectively. He argued that German culture was deeply rooted in the soul and thus authoritarian rule was natural for Germans, as politics and democracy were seen as foreign to their spirit. Mann's ideas influenced Conservative Revolutionaries, although he later defended the Weimar Republic and criticized figures associated with the movement.
     
    Carl Schmitt, in his essay "The Dictatorship," praised the power given to the president in the Weimar Republic to declare a state of emergency, which he saw as essential for effective governance. He argued that in a democratic state, any deviation from democratic principles could be considered dictatorship. Schmitt further proposed that sovereignty necessitated the ability to declare a state of emergency, allowing for swift decisions outside of parliamentary procedures. He later used this argument to justify Hitler's actions during the Night of the Long Knives, stating, "The leader defends the law."
     
    ==== Front-Line Socialism ====
    Conservative Revolutionaries rejected the idea of being driven by class struggle resentment and instead looked to the camaraderie of World War I for inspiration, envisioning a national community beyond traditional political divides. They aimed to redefine revolution, associating it with the unity of the war's beginning rather than the turmoil of November 1918.
     
    They agreed with socialists on curtailing capitalism's excesses, advocating for corporatism and closer collaboration between workers and employers. Their critique of capitalism stemmed from its wartime profits, inflation, and their own middle-class background, feeling squeezed between ruling capitalists and the masses.
     
    While they dismissed communism as idealistic, they borrowed Marxist terminology, such as the inevitability of conservatism replacing liberalism, reflecting a historical materialist view. Influenced by vitalism and irrationalism, they believed in life's dominance over reason, contrasting with Marxist optimism. Some, like Ernst Niekisch, advocated National Bolshevism, blending ultra-nationalist socialism with anti-Western sentiments, even willing to align with German communists and the Soviet Union to combat the capitalist West.
     
    ===[[File:Metternich.png]] Metternichism===
    A traditional conservative, Metternich was keen to maintain the balance of power, particularly by resisting Russian territorial ambitions in Central Europe and the Ottoman Empire. He disliked liberalism and strove to prevent the breakup of the Austrian Empire, for example, by crushing nationalist revolts in Austrian northern Italy. He pursued a similar policy at home, using censorship and a wide-ranging spy network to suppress unrest.
     
    He saw nationalism as a threat to the cosmopolitan nature of the empire and a threat to its stability. This would lead him to suppress nationalist sentiments in the empire and other empires like the Ottoman Empire.
     
    His socialism came from his wish to preserve the guild economy and his support for paternalism. He opposed Economic liberalism as well.

    Latest revision as of 17:12, 4 July 2024

    Reactionary Socialism is a leftist, reactionary ideology that resides in the upper left half of the political compass. It is very close to Agrarian Socialism, Guild Socialism, and Distributism in policy, but is radically more traditionalist. Generally very decentralist.

    History

    In the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, Reactionary Socialism was referred to as basically a form of socialism that sought to revert to feudalism, or a Clerical version of socialism. It generally sought to de-proletarianize the working class, redistribute land to the peasants, and generally return to a Medieval type economy instead of seeking total collectivism. Since then, it has been used pejoratively towards "bourgeoie" socialist systems, such as Social Democracy. Additionally, many monarchists who were opposed to capitalism called themselves socialist, even though they were feudalists. Previous spokespersons include some members of the sao paulo forum and latin american nationalists for example Albizu campos saw american imperialism as being tied to protestantism and the "yankee" mentality he advocated for socialism and a return to a conservative agrarian way of life. The modern spokespersons for it are Alexander Dugin, who sees socialism as the best way to enforce a traditional society, and Arthur Penty, who glorified the guild economy. Some have even referred to   Strasserism as reactionary socialism, since Strasser wanted federalization, a guild economy, and agrarianism.

    Personality

    Reactionary Socialism is very religious (generally Catholic, can be Orthodox) and traditional, like his father. However, he gets an explosive temper from his mother, and can usually be seen telling the proletariat to revolt against the unnatural plight of capitalism. Can be depicted speaking in Middle English, holding a sword and sickle or a musket, or holding some sweet Victorian-era flags.

    Beliefs

    The beliefs of reactionary socialists can vary greatly. Generally, they want small-scale worker democracy (like distributism), an artisan economy, a return to ruralism and the agrarian lifestyle, a planned economy, a return to some traditional religion, and a Monarchist or autocratic government system. However, they generally hate centralism, instead preferring federalism and localism. Some see socialism as an end to itself (once it gets rid of materialism and egalitarianism), while some see it as a step towards reinstating feudalism. Can be very hostile toward technology.

    Variants

      Conservative Revolution

    Conservative Revolution is a movement in Germany and Austria between World War I and the rise of the Nazis. Its members wanted to change society, but they disagreed on how. They rejected egalitarianism, Liberal democracy, and modern culture, with some rejecting Christianity. Instead, they admired ideas from the past, like Friedrich Nietzsche's views, German Romanticism, and Prussian nationalism. They also drew from their experiences in World War I.

    Their connection to Nazism was complex. Some saw them as a step towards fascism, but they were not the same. They didn't all believe in Nazi ideas about race. While they helped pave the way for the Nazis, they didn't have much influence on them. When the Nazis took over, most Conservative Revolutionaries were either killed or rejected the Nazi regime.

    Later, their ideas influenced movements like the European New Right, which includes groups like the French Nouvelle Droite and German Neue Rechte. These ideas are still influential today, shaping movements like the European Identitarian movement.

    New Nationalism and Morality

    Conservative Revolutionaries believed their nationalism differed significantly from previous forms of German nationalism and conservatism. They criticized traditional Wilhelmine conservatives for being reactionary and failing to grasp modern concepts like technology, urbanization, and the working class.

    Moeller van den Bruck described Conservative Revolution as preserving values inseparable from the Volk (ethnic group), which endure through time due to adaptations in their institutional and ideal forms. Unlike pure reactionaries or revolutionaries, Conservative Revolutionaries aimed to shape eternal values to ensure their survival amid historical changes. Edgar Jung rejected the notion that true conservatives aimed to halt progress. They sought a chivalric way of life guided by innate morality rather than a conscious moral code. Conservative revolutionaries aimed to restore natural laws and values within the modern world.

    Influenced by Nietzsche, many rejected Christian ethics of solidarity and equality, viewing them as oppressive to the strong. They advocated for nations to prioritize self-interest over moral standards in geopolitics. Völkischen, influenced by racialist and occultist beliefs, opposed Christianity and sought a return to Germanic pagan faith or the adaptation of Christianity to remove foreign influences.

    Volksgemeinschaft and Dictatorship

    Thomas Mann believed that German resistance during World War I was stronger militarily than spiritually because the German essence couldn't easily express itself verbally, making it difficult to counter Western rhetoric effectively. He argued that German culture was deeply rooted in the soul and thus authoritarian rule was natural for Germans, as politics and democracy were seen as foreign to their spirit. Mann's ideas influenced Conservative Revolutionaries, although he later defended the Weimar Republic and criticized figures associated with the movement.

    Carl Schmitt, in his essay "The Dictatorship," praised the power given to the president in the Weimar Republic to declare a state of emergency, which he saw as essential for effective governance. He argued that in a democratic state, any deviation from democratic principles could be considered dictatorship. Schmitt further proposed that sovereignty necessitated the ability to declare a state of emergency, allowing for swift decisions outside of parliamentary procedures. He later used this argument to justify Hitler's actions during the Night of the Long Knives, stating, "The leader defends the law."

    Front-Line Socialism

    Conservative Revolutionaries rejected the idea of being driven by class struggle resentment and instead looked to the camaraderie of World War I for inspiration, envisioning a national community beyond traditional political divides. They aimed to redefine revolution, associating it with the unity of the war's beginning rather than the turmoil of November 1918.

    They agreed with socialists on curtailing capitalism's excesses, advocating for corporatism and closer collaboration between workers and employers. Their critique of capitalism stemmed from its wartime profits, inflation, and their own middle-class background, feeling squeezed between ruling capitalists and the masses.

    While they dismissed communism as idealistic, they borrowed Marxist terminology, such as the inevitability of conservatism replacing liberalism, reflecting a historical materialist view. Influenced by vitalism and irrationalism, they believed in life's dominance over reason, contrasting with Marxist optimism. Some, like Ernst Niekisch, advocated National Bolshevism, blending ultra-nationalist socialism with anti-Western sentiments, even willing to align with German communists and the Soviet Union to combat the capitalist West.

      Metternichism

    A traditional conservative, Metternich was keen to maintain the balance of power, particularly by resisting Russian territorial ambitions in Central Europe and the Ottoman Empire. He disliked liberalism and strove to prevent the breakup of the Austrian Empire, for example, by crushing nationalist revolts in Austrian northern Italy. He pursued a similar policy at home, using censorship and a wide-ranging spy network to suppress unrest.

    He saw nationalism as a threat to the cosmopolitan nature of the empire and a threat to its stability. This would lead him to suppress nationalist sentiments in the empire and other empires like the Ottoman Empire.

    His socialism came from his wish to preserve the guild economy and his support for paternalism. He opposed Economic liberalism as well.

    How To Draw

     
    Flag of Reactionary Socialism

    Reactionary Socialism's design is based on the combination of the Jerusalem cross (a symbol used for reactionaryism within Polcompball) on the red background (to symbolize socialism).

    1. Draw a ball.
    2. Color it in with red
    3. Draw a yellow/buff Jerusalem Cross (without the tiny crosses) inside a yellow/buff circle.
    4. Draw the eyes.
    5. (Optional) Draw a knight's helmet on top of the ball, similar to the one Feudalism wears.
    6. (Optional) Draw a sword and sickle as props, preferably in a similar position to   the hammer and sickle logo.
    7. You're done!
    Color Name HEX RGB
    Red #DA141E 218, 20, 30
