Meagharism: Difference between revisions

Marxism-Meagharism is an offshoot of Burnsidism that takes elements of [[Wikipedia: Marxism|Marxism]], and especially [[Durakia|Durakan]] [[Wikipedia: Syndicalism|Syndicalism]]. While Burnsidism only extends the discipline based right to rule to governmental power, Marxism-Meagharism extends this to power to the Means of Production. The roots of this ideology do not begin after the introduction of Marxism to Meagharia, but with the works of many Meagharite priests throughout the Milofite period, who took the position that rather than having their work be used by the Priestly caste, that through both their work as Laborers and their Discipline as Soldiers they gain their right to rule themselves and society. While these ideas would be somewhat influential they would not truly become common until Durakan Soldiers during the Meagharian Civil War helped to make these ideas more popular through the introduction of Marxist theory to the Meagharian Philosophical Sphere. With the base of the previous theories, new Meagharian Philosophers such as [[Spadlin O'Perre]], to begin to incorporate Meagharite and Marxist thought. A seminal work in this was the book Church and Capital, written by Spadlin O'Perre, which claims that [[Wikipedia: Theism|Theism]] and [[Wikipedia: Capitalism|Capitalism]] rely on one another, or at least encourage the same mental tendencies, leading to the individual becoming oppressed. The ideology thus sees the elimination of Capitalism being the final step in the elimination of theism, and that by gaining Discipline as a Soldier, one will gain the discipline to allow for the Worker to run their workplace in a collective structured fashion, eliminating both the Priest Class and the Capital Class, and the intermeshing system of control that they create.
