List of political ideologies

In political science, an ideology is defined as a collection of beliefs, values and doctrines which set out the ethical and structural basis for a political system. Ideologies, while often attestable to a number of key figures, often form around the collectively held values of classes, social groups and institutions, which allow for diverse branches of an ideology influenced by the values and ideas propagated within a specific region, culture or institution.

The following list briefly explains the principles and goals of political ideologies which have held considerable influence within the history of a nation or nations, as well as those which currently hold sway in the political structure of contemporary political systems on Urth. Ideologies are grouped within sections based upon common values and historical association, though an ideology does not necessarily only fit within the group they are listed under.

Socialism

Religious socialism

Theocratic socialism

Theocratic socialism, also referred to as Clerical communalism and Ultra-Religious socialism, is an ideological system which combines strict religious doctrine and clericalism with a socialist economy, forming the state around a religious community or fellowship.

The ideology originated amongst the followers of Borko Luter, an Ademarist theologian and advocate for the notion of “equality under the God-on-Urth”. His revolutionary writings in the 17th century argued strongly against the power of nobility within the church, as well as both the hierarchy of feudal structures and exploitation of the poor under capitalism. His religious teachings would be established within the nation of Gräntierik, and the doctrines established within it would inspire a number of other forms of the ideology through the justification of socialism by other clerical movements.
