Kavkazism

Kavkazism is the ideology of the Kavkaz Society from RedFlood. It is an ideology that starts in Georgia and believes in a form of Socialism (unclear if they are Market or State Socialist) where the State is ran by Futurist Poets by Meritocratic means. Later on the player chooses if they want Laissez-faire Capitalism (Invite Foreign Bourgeois) or Corporatism (Proletarian Corporatism). The Kavkaz soldiers are experts on Poetry and usually wear a local version of the Stalhelm and have their own weapons that noone has seen in earth's history, Kavkaz Society also can recruit Austrian Advisors to help them with mountainous terrain and Kavkaz can also sign a Motorization contract with Italy. Kavkazism wants an empire that spans from Chernigov to Semipalatinsk which would encompass the Caucasus, Persia, Ukraine, Central Asia, Tibet and the Himalayas, to operate this massive empire they would have to embrace Transcaucasian Federalism. This ideology branches off into 3 different ideologies, Greater Utopianism (Vladimir Mayakovsky), Temporal Utopianism (Velimir Khlebnikov) and Greater Eurasianism (Alexei Tolstoy).

"Listen! If stars are lit, It means there is someone who needs it, It means someone wants them to be, That someone deems those specks of spit, Magnificent!" - Vladimir Mayakovsky

You would be mistaken if you think Greater Utopianism is a continuation of the Status Quo, it's just a more extreme version of Kavkazism. Greater Utopianism is the ideology of Greater Utopia from RedFlood, which is Kavkaz Society if Mayakovsky maintains power. The weird thing is it is probably the most sane of the 3 branches of Kavkazism.

"Scrape the surface of language, and you will behold interstellar space and the skin that encloses it" - Velimir Khlebnikov

Temporal Utopianism is the ideology of the State of Time in RedFlood if Velimir Khlebnikov manages to take control of the Kavkaz society, where Khlebnikov uses the country as a testing field for his most radical ideas. It believes that a nation-state must be in tune with Time, and one might even bind Time with Space, and for every soldier shall be like a pawn in chess, every bureaucrat shall work like a clockwork creature, the Time and Space themselves shall merge, and from this maelstrom, a new Akhenaten shall rule the State of Time, aided by his loyal legions of idealistic citizens, whose leftover grievances shall be smoothed over by the completion of Khlebnikov’s old project, the language of Zaum, a perfect lingua franca made in conscious defiance of existing literary language with entirely new rules of forming words. This ideology would create a faction of nations called the "Global Defense Initiative". Please do not mix this ideology up with Temporal Progressivism

"Where did we go wrong - was it in failing to realize that, just as a visible target is necessary for the adjusting of fire, profound experience of life is required for the adjustment of our philosophy of logic? Immanuel Kant is one thing - revolution is quite another!" - Alexei Nikolaievich Tolstoy

Greater Eurasianism is based off of Greater Eurasia in RedFlood if Alexei Tolstoy manages to take control of the Kavkaz society, where Tolstoy reverts Kavkaz back to pre-westernization aesthetics of Muscovy. Greater Eurasianism is an Ethno-Futurist ideology that believes in Russification and Russian supremacy. This ideology wants a Futurist revival of Russian culture and promotes a new lifestyle of Neo-Boyar aesthetics.
