Reverdinism is a culturally variable, statist, capitalist, welfarist and populist ideology from the Divergences of Darkness alternate-history headcannon of wiki user Io, its a fictional ideology who ruled the Republic of Amazonie from 1900-1912
History
Reverdinism as an ideology is used to describe the thought and policies of Amazoniean dictator Fabien Reverdin, Reverdin was a populist politician from a time where all of Amazonie was ruled entirely by land-owning elites, these elites ruled the country as a plutocracy and were authoritarian and agrarian, thus Reverdin appears as an extremely anti-establishment politician who starts to campaigns through multiple amazonie elections as a capitalist, industrialist and ethnonationalist, distinguishing himself from other anti-elite politicians in the era who were mostly progressive and anti-segregation, after the 1900 elections where Colin Auclair's successor won and was supposed to take power as the counsul Reverdin leads an insurrection on the capital with the help of the army and the urban population and from then on becomes the dictator of Amazonie until his assassination in 1912 wherein Amazonie finally achieves democracy, after Reverdin's fall Reverdinism as an ideology stops having that much influence although a lot of racist populists would use Reverdin's image to further their own cause, eventually leading to the monarcho-strasserist Maximilien Neri basing a lot of his speeches on Reverdin and on the idea of bringing back that era.
Beliefs
Civically
Reverdinism is civically authoritarian and statist believing that a strong leader should be put in place with absolute power to follow the wishes of the people, but Reverdinism still limits many civil rights and freedoms while using public rallies as a way to demonstrate that the strong leader is simply doing what the broader populace wants.
Economically
Reverdinism is capitalist, anti-agrarian, industrialist and welfarist, believing that a free market with few regulation and industrialisation should be the basis of the economy while having welfare to protect the poorer in society.
Racial Basis
Reverdinism is a strongly racist ideology believing that the racial hierarchies present in society should stay and using white nationalism as one of the foundations of its populism, initally claiming that the elites were starting to reform the country to be more racially egalitarian.
