Republicanism

"The end of the republic is to enervate and to weaken all other bodies so as to increase its own body."
Niccolò Machiavelli

Republicanism is a Non-Quadrant ideology centered on a system of government that (at least nominally) is non-hereditary, and opposition to Monarchism. Most of his views are dependent on context, varying from country to country. The only consistent trait has been hatred for monarchist systems.

Personality and Behaviour

Republicanism REALLY hates monarchists and is usually seen attacking them. Acts as a mentor to Leninism, Jacobinism, Illminism, and other ideologies that explicitly oppose the monarchy. Hangs out with Enlightenment Thought.

How to Draw

Republicanism is represented by the Red-White-Blue Cockade which was a symbol used for the Republican movements both in France and America.

Frenemies

Anarchism - No state means no republic, which is bad, but we can guillotine monarchs together.
Juche - You're on thin ice, Mr. "Paektu Dynasty".
Ba'athism - You too, Mr. "Al-Assad".
Conservatism - You call yourselves the "republican party", yet you don't kill monarchists. curious. And outside of the US, some are monarchists, but some are not.
- The reason why my American variant does not kill monarchists is that you won back in 1783 and the loyalists were booted out. There are monarchists left to kill there. Your mission is accomplished.

Fascism - You are a really strange person. At least you went on the right path in 1943 and your actions indirectly led to the permanent abolition of monarchy in 1946.
Reactionaryism - You may not be explicitly monarchist, but you tend to side with them at times. But at least we both like the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Imperialism - Same as above but we both like France, Banana Republics, the USA, and somewhat like the USSR.
Bonapartism - A French "Imperial Republic"?! You confuse & frustrate me in ways I cannot understand!
Roman Republicanism - One of my first major influences, though you led into a Monarchy far too easily.
Ceremonial Monarchism - I should hate you way more, but at this point, you're basically just a celebrity who technically runs a country. Sparing and using you as an example to portray royals as lazy and hedonistic man-children who drain the treasury are great propaganda against monarchism! 🦀🦀🦀 Na Na Na Na Na Na~ Lizzie's in a box~ (in a box!) 🦀🦀🦀
- Charles III will show you your place hahaha.

Corbynism - You personally want a republic, yet don't have the balls to try actually getting rid of it because you're worried you'll hurt the feelings of the people who needlessly worship the royal family.
Thaksinism - I hope the conspiracies about what the Thai Royalists say about you are true.
Longism - Every man a king? Then every man a guillot- What do you mean you're not a monarchist? Sorry for the misunderstanding.
