Reactionary Socialism

Reactionary Socialism is an authoritarian left and Reactionary ideology that resides in the lower 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, it is opposed to the policies of National Bolshevism and Strasserism.

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 "bourgeoise" 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 ends 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.

How To Draw

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

Draw a ball.
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!
