Scholtzism

Scholtzism is a political ideology and philosophy originated in Vistaraland - which advocates for a socialist economy and multicultural, democratic system guaranteed through a unifying national symbol - a person divorced from the partisan politics endemic to a democratic legislature. Developed by Werner J. Scholtz in the 20th Century following the War of Imperial Succession, the ideology branched from the already-fringe Monarcho-socialist movement in Vistaraland due to Scholtz's support for the Monarch- as the Vistari national symbol, to take a more proactive role in preserving the unity of the several ethnic and cultural groups making up the Empire, including retaining control over the military.

The ideology became formalized as a branching off when Scholtz was expelled from the Social Federalist League in 1929, cast out as an imperialist sympathizer and regressive element within the small Monarcho-socialist organization. Following this, in 1934, he established the Imperial Revolutionary Bloc which soon surpassed the Social Federalist League in support until it was banned by Vistari authorities in 1943. Despite this, Scholtz continued to argue for radical economic and social reforms to establish a system of egalitarianism amongst the previously-existent classes through economic redistribution, and the differing ethnic groups and sub-nationalities through federalization. The Imperial Revolutionary Bloc was eventually legalized in 2020, led by Scholtz's eldest son, Thys. The party remains on the fringes of Vistari politics, having earned 2 seats following the 2020 Vistari general election.
