Ideology Descriptions
National Socialism
National Socialism is the political ideology most associated with the National Socialist German Worker's Party during the 20th Century. National Socialism was developed by Adolf Hitler and his cronies, with pragmatic economic ideals, an autocratic system of government, and most infamously of all, anti-Semitism. National Socialists believe in the superiority of their own race above all. National Socialists despise Jews and Communists, as they believe that they are the roots of degeneracy and stagnation. In addition, National Socialists outside of Germany look to the examples of German National Socialism for inspiration and guidance.

Strasserism is a strand of National Socialism that emphasizes anti-capitalist and worker-based socialist policies over Aryan racial supremacy.

Ustaštvo (Also sometimes refered to as Ustašism) is the ideology of the YUHRP (Ustaša - Croatian Revolutionary Movement). The ideology of the movement is a blend of Fascism, Roman Catholicism and extreme Croatian nationalism. The Ustaše support the creation of a Greater Croatia that would span the Drina River and extend to the border of Belgrade. The movement views Croats as not Slavs, but of Gothic origin, only with the Slavic language; it also emphasizes the need for a racially "pure" Croatia and promotes ethnic cleansing of other minorities, but it views the Bosniaks as "Muslim Croats", and as a result Bosniaks are not persecuted on the basis of race. The ideology uses the system of planned economy, the so-called "Croatian Socialism", an attempt to create a non-Marxist socialist system. In reality, this manifests as more of a command economy than anything, where the state completely controls the economy.

Adopted by the followers of the overthrown Ustaše Regime, Neo-Ustaštvo is not a concrete and defined ideology, but a loose group of beliefs upheld by those who fight, or at least desire for the return of a Croatian Ultranationalist regime. The exact beliefs of those who the label applies to do not need to be a direct match to the concrete ideology of the Ustaše, but they most often materialize in fervent Ultranationalism and Chauvinism, desire for a "Greater Croatia" and explusion or eradication of ethnic minorities.

Loosely inspired by the practices and ideology of Adolf Hitler's National Socialist Germany, Neo-Nazism distinguishes itself from its proper counterpart by being adapted to unique national conditions.

African Socialism or [[gold;Afrosocialism]] is a belief in sharing economic resources in a traditional African way, as distinct from classical socialism. This ideology seeks to forge a distinct identity rooted in Afrocentricism. While the practices of [[gold;Afrosocialism]] might differ from regime to regime, their common characteristics include social development guided by a large public sector and incorporation of the African identity.

Syndicalism primarily revolves around the supremacy of the worker-based labour organisations, seeing labour unions as the core building blocks of the post-capitalist society. In addition, Syndicalists generally favour a federalist political structure over a centralist approach to the state and its associated institutions.

Religious Socialism is a type of socialism based on religious values. While traditional Marxist movements have largely been atheistic, members of several major religions have found that their beliefs about human society fit with socialist principles and ideas. As a result, religious socialist movements have developed within these religions, forging a compromise between contemporary socialist doctrines and traditional religious beliefs.

Reformist Socialism is the view that gradual changes through existing institutions can eventually lead to fundamental changes in a society's political and economic systems. Reformism as a political tendency and hypothesis of social change grew out of opposition to revolutionary socialism, which contends that revolutionary upheaval is a necessary precondition for the structural changes necessary to transform a capitalist system to a qualitatively different socialist system. Responding to a pejorative conception of reformism as non-transformational, non-reformist reform was conceived as a way to prioritize human needs over capitalist needs.

Revolutionary Socialism is a political philosophy, doctrine, and tradition within socialism that stresses the idea that a social revolution is necessary to bring about structural changes in society. More specifically, it is the view that revolution is a necessary precondition for transitioning from a capitalist to a socialist mode of production. Revolution is not necessarily defined as a violent insurrection; it is defined as a seizure of political power by mass movements of the working class so that the state is directly controlled or abolished by the working class as opposed to the capitalist class and its interests.

Mixing traditionalist practices and local customs with leftist dogma, this informal ideology acts as a bastardized version of Socialism. This outward appearance is maintained by paying lip service to leftist theories (such as Marxism), while the leadership continues to participate in traditionalist practices.

A unique stream of Zionism forged by influential Zionist leader Ber Borochov, Borochovism represents the Marxist-Socialist wing of the Labour Zionists. Borochov presented a view which welded Marxist class struggle and Jewish nationalism together, arguing that the Jews' migration to Palestine would be the final act of Jewish class struggle.
Borochovists differ from David Ben-Gurion's mainstream Labour Zionism due to their more dovish policy towards cooperation with the Arab world and a more pro-east foreign policy. Proponents of the ideology also support a union-controlled economy and welfare rather than Mapai's policy of widescale nationalizations.
