Gemotamism, coming from the archaic Stedorian word Gemotam meaning "renaissance", literally "backwards giving birth", is a socialist and Dolchic nationalist ideology that advocates for the creation of a unified federation of nations of Dolchic cultures by means of leadership of government by a Gemotamist-oriented party. The theories are based on the writings and ideas of Falk Jlüter and Paskal Hecker who wrote throughout the late 1930s and 1940s. The late Stedorian military officer and leader of Stedoria, Läkhart Viktor Drejlär, adopted Gemotamism as the official political ideology after the 1971 Stedorian coup d'état which established the Revolutionary Government of the Armed Forces of Stedoria. Gemotamist theory was later further developed by late revolutionary Simon Ulbrikt and current Stedorian Chief Consul Tamäj Köseg, the latter of whom currently governs Stedoria under such ideology through the National Party of the Stedorian Revolution, which is considered by the Stedorian government to be a branch of the Dolchic Socialist Gemotam Party.

Gemotamism advocates for the development and advancement of Dolchic cultures, values, and societies. Supposedly after an unknown amount of time under the leadership of the Gemotamist ideology, Dolchic nations are to have developed an enlightened and prosperous Dolchic society economically, socially, and politically. Gemotamism promotes the principles of Dolchic nationalism, pan-Dolchism, Socialism, and Progressivism. Whilst it does not promote atheism, and various factions of the DSGP's regional branches support the philosophy of Tikälim, an atheistic-deistic secular religion centred on the belief of reason, to replace religion. Other branches, however, have also included aspects of religion in their regional philosophy. Gemotamism supports socialist-oriented economics and expropriations of large companies and monopolies, though in practice still jas tolerated private property and entreprises that subordinate themselves to the state. The state is to take a leading role in economic development and industries in an economic system and doctrine known as dirigisme, though Gemotamism vaguely to dirigisme and socialism interchangeably. Additionally, Gemotamism supports syndicalism and powerful trade unions under state control.

Gemotamism does not specify if these changes should take place by democratic means or through an authoritarian form of governance, making it debated as to if Gemotamism is authoritarian or not. The Revolutionary Government of the Armed Forces of Stedoria, led by Drejlär, was a gemotamist military dictatorship. Furthermore, the Gemotamist administration currently leading Stedoria has been accused of being authoritarian due to its policies against opposition parties, though elections still take place and oppositions parties are permitted to run, though they have met limited success. For this reason, many critics of the ideology accuse Gemotamism as being authoritarian-aligned.

Ideology

Twenty Principles of Gemotamism

1. "The Gemotamist movement is a democratic movement; the Gemotamist definition of democracy is a government which carries out the people's will and defends only one interest: the people's interests."
2. "The Gemotamist movement represents the common people's will; political cliquism does not represent the common people. Thus, it is impossible for the political elite to be Gemotamist."
3. "The Gemotamist movement is a revolutionary movement. The movement and ideology must always remain revolutionary. If it loses its revolutionary qualities, it loses its ability to inspire political consciousness, thus it stops being Gemotamist."
4. "A Gemotamist, above all, works and represents the movement. They do not represent political elites or political leaders. Any who do the latter are not Gemotamists."
5. "For the Gemotamist movement, there is only one type of person whose value triumphs all others in society: those who work and labour."
6. "It is the obligation and duty of all citizens who are capable to work and provide for society. They should, at the very least, work and produce to the amount that which they consume."
7. "It is the duty of all Gemotamists to recognise what they, as an individual, are and what they are not. Failure to do this leads to elitism and the death of revolutionary consciousness."
8. "The interests of individuals must subordinate themselves to the interests of wider society. Individualism destroys revolutionism. This, however, does not mean that the interests of individuals should be done away with in its totality."
9. "It is the duty of the Gemotamist movement to promote pan-Dolchic co-operation at all times. This is the key to unity."
10. "The Gemotamist movement is a socialist and people's movement; it is the duty for the movement to combat the interests of capital, which directly contradict the people's interests."
11. "Capital must subordinate itself to the state. Capital that refuses to do this must be eliminated."
12. "Labour unions and syndicates are the heart of workers' power. The Gemotamist movement must organise labour around this fundamental truth."
13. "The armed forces must play the fundamental role of defending the Gemotamist movement."
14. "The Gemotamist movement is progressive movement; it must evolve its ideas with time, but equally recognise that the movement must not fall to ideological revisionism."
15. "The Gemotamist movement carries out social justice; each person is entitled to dignity and rights."
16. "The Gemotamist state must be organised along federal lines in order to respect local and regional cultures whilst maintaining state unity."
17. "The Gemotamist movement is against all forms of imperialism and colonialism; they do not support the interests of the people, but rather the interests of capital and political cliques."
18. "The Gemotamist state must, by any means possible, protect its sovereignty and independence."
19. "Foreign policy must be ideologically guided. Pragmatism in foreign policy betrays Gemotamism."
20. "The people always triumph. The people lead and the people guide. Those who deny this and express scepticism in the people are not Gemotamists."
