Revolutionary Progressivism
"There cannot be peaceful coexistence in the ideological realm. Peaceful coexistence corrupts."
Revolutionary Progressivism also called Ultraprogressivism, Neo-Jacobinism, and Neo-Progressivism is a culturally and (most of the time) economically left ideology that believes in the radical restructuring of existing society through violent means in the vision of modern progressive ideals. The ideology ultimately sees that strict conservative cultural norms are holding back societies from developing into the modern era and that there is no point in preserving them.
Because of its stance on abolishing traditional or oppressive social structures, it has been deemed as a culturally far-left ideology (or Alt-Left by some), meeting friends among the way such as Jacobinism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, and other or left-anarchist or socialist ideologies.
History
The history of all revolutionary causes is associated with Progressivism, which expanded in the era of the Enlightenment. However, it wasn't until the organization of the Jacobin Club rooted the ideas credited to Revolutionary Progressivism.
Red Shirts and Tomás Garrido Canabal
Red Shirts (or in Spanish Camisas Rojas) was an extremist left-wing and anti-religious group founded in 1931 by Tomás Garrido Canabal, in his tenure as governor, the name is because members wear red shirts. The group aimed to follow the orders of Canabal, which was mainly anti-clerical as articles of 1917, in which it destroyed several church buildings.
The group's ideals consisted of attacking things that "hindered progress" like religion and alcohol, as well as having a bias towards Marxism and Leninism (with an extra focus on Leninism), in which their anthem was the internationale and many were based on the Bolsheviks and were even accused of being "fascists" and "indoctrination shock troops for the intense campaign against God and religion". The group disbanded in 1935 after Canabal ordered them to kill Catholics and Cardenas arrested 62 members.
- Tomás Garrido Canabal - Tomás Garrido Canabal was an anti-religious military politician and governor of Yucatan and Tabasco in Mexico and his ideology was Garridismo. Even before taking a role in politics, he was expelled for demonstrating against Porfirio Diaz in his first year of high school.
He became known for his administration as governor of Tabasco (1920-1935), in which he promoted some social advances such as women's suffrage and public education, but was accused of authoritarianism and brutality, especially for his anti-religion campaign, having as focus on Christianity, in which he founded Camisas Rojas to persecute and destroy churches in Tabasco. He justified his religious persecution by saying it was a way of "seeking the freedom of the people", he had banned masses and religious images were burned in public, in addition to having encouraged satirical plays mocking Christianity. Another important aspect was socialism, in which he founded several socialist organizations, the best known being Camisas Rojas and he was very fond of Lenin. He also banned alcoholic beverages (except beer) and executed criminals without trial, causing crime in Tabasco to decline.
Described as socialist tyranny by Martin C. Needler, in 1934 he had Catholic youths shot in Coyoacán Square, generating indignation among the population. He left in 1935, after the arrival of Lázaro Cárdenas, went into exile in Costa Rica, dying in California in 1943.
Foundations and Beliefs
Revolutionary Doctrines and principles
W.I.P
On Tradition
Revolutionary Progressivism believes that traditions are to be removed from society through quick graduations. The cultural revolutions in France, Paraguay, USSR and China helped solidify the decline of conservative norms as the traditions being conserved were outlawed and banned, and those practicing them were persuaded to be re-educated. Afterward, new cultural ideas would be left to the once-oppressed workers to clean up, implementing a proletarian culture.
But in the case of more anarchist or anti-authority ideologies such as Queer Anarchism, it focuses on collapsing the state, the upholding force of the current social structures. It believes once the state is destroyed, nothing will enable oppression, therefore any radical social change is achieved by a sense of liberty.
Most groups and followers of revolutionary progressivism, have followed generally left-wing and socialist economic values, such as the Black Panthers Party in the United States, the Socialist Unity in the United Kingdom, and the United Red Army in Japan. This is most likely due to either oppressed groups rising up in a revolutionary manner, which lends itself to economic left-wing, as that is the oppressed workers rising up.
Sub-Ideologies
Noveltism
Noveltism, also called Hyperprogressivism is an Ideology created by Polcompball User K-Tech to describe the off-compass cultural left, it believes that anything that isn't new is taboo, and must be constantly replaced by something new every day, it sometimes includes Posadism and/or Transhumanism into its beliefs. It's also the more extreme and literal version of Futurism.
Personality and Behavior
Despite having similar ideas to Progressivism, RevProg is different as he is more prone to violence. He feels as if the current society was always oppressive and that a huge revolution will inevitably come and change everything. He read into revolutionary ideas about insurrection, abolishing classes, gender structures, and more, and may carry or smoother revolutionary books. He has a hot-headed personality. He is not afraid to get out his pistol and start shooting or attacking people.
His tactics are frequently employed by anarcho-communists and other leftists. Reactionaryism is his biggest rival as they both like to use violent tactics to further their respective ideologies and are on opposite sides of the cultural spectrum.
When analyzing historical leaders, he judges them based on today's times rather than the times that they lived in. This may result in him calling for the removal of statues, citing slave ownership, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, etc. He may do so by protest, vandalism, or even destruction.
Stylistic Notes
Revolutionary Progressivism can be drawn with any kind of handheld weapon and isn't afraid to use it. He sometimes wears a red bandana too, to show his loyalty to revolutionary or proletarian societies.

Semi-Revolutionary
- Progressivism - You've got the right ideas, dad. But stop being such a wuss and pick up your flamethrower, incinerating cultural counterrevolutionaries will change history for the better!
Also why are many in the west reformists? - SJW - Same as the above. I don't get why people say we're somehow complementary or the same when really you're just an overemotional version of the above, thus not a true radical.
- State Liberalism - A progressive force indeed, but a capitalist force as well...
- Enlightened Absolutism - One of the monarchists that act as a progressive force, but you're not even revolutionary, just enlightened. Plus most of us prefer republicanism.
- Democratic Socialism - Good direction, but you can't use parliamentary means! We must be a revolutionary class! No negations!
- Civil Libertarianism - Allowing reactionaries to speak out? Not sure...
- Secularism - Why do you want to tolerate religious people, who are insane pseudocrats?
- Kemalism - I love how you revolutionized Turkish society and got rid of the old Ottoman crap and theocracy and modernized Turkey into the most secular and progressive country in the Islamic world. But why is reformism in your core principle? Don’t you know that the revolution is the best way to beat reactionaries? You should also have removed Islam rather than enforcing the thing above.
- Tridemism - Sun Yat-sen’s revolution was a progressive force for China against reactionary elements of the society
even if he was against the New Culture movement.But again, Chiang Kai-shek was gigacringe and most of your modern-day followers are cringe conservatives. Still, I like the Left-KMT members who are socially progressive and revolutionary. - Anarcho-Pacifism - You're weak. Peaceful protest will never solve our problems!
- Anarcho-Syndicalism - Many of you are like the above and too reformist, though you were also mostly based historically. I also like what Durruti said about churches.
- Marxism–Leninism - Getting rid of the old Tsarist society and defeating the fascist scum were based moves, and many of you are very progressive! However many of his states are now reactionary, but he claims that they are revisionist and have nothing to do with him.
- Pol Potism - You initially claimed to be me, but you became so obsessed with removing the old culture that you ended up becoming a reactionary, ultranationalist, agrocuck.
- Ho Chi Minh Thought - You did have a revolution against your colonial oppressor France and kicked out the above guy (in turn acting as a force for progressive change). However, your successors have become more and more reformist/conservative.

- Fascism - Well, at least you are against (most) reactionaries, and some people have accused Tomas Garrido Canabal of acting like you. Your progressive variant is especially based.

- Anti-Centrism - So you support me? Amazing! But why do you also support the far-right? Though I do appreciate your hatred toward those pesky centrists and your commitment to revolutionary change..
- Castroism - A fellow comrade but what's up with the mistreatment of queers? You dislike theocratic institutions but also tolerate religion. That isn't enough for me. At least you are making rapid progress now and recently passed one of the most progressive laws for the LGBTQ+ in Latin America.
- Titoism - I like how you pitted and battled fashoids and Nazi garbage and revolutionized the Yugoslavian culture, but you were also a bit too soft on the church and didn't fully decriminalize homosexuality, though at least Yugoslavia still became relatively tolerant of the latter during the 70s. However, you're still too moderate
- Honeckerism - DDR was pretty progressive on LGBTQ+ rights back in the days, but why did you associate yourself with the filthy conservative Brezhnev? Plus, you fall into the same problems as the above in that you're also too moderate.
Transhumanism & Post-Humanism - Replacing people with machines is a revolutionary act that transforms society.
Reactionary Scum

- Neoliberalism - Not even your occasional bullshit faux progressivism can save you. You are inherently imperialist, exploitative, and sometimes conservative.
