Netaji Thought, or Netajism, is an Arthani political philosophy that builds upon councilism and the ideology of Sheru Ramprasad, known by his honorific Netaji. It was developed and codified by the Arthani dominated Satrian Section during the 1960s, although it would not be formalised until 1994. Netaji Thought is considered to be Councilist political theories and policies adapted for Arthani circumstances and history. Although the ideology is named after the Arthani revolutionary leader, it does not necessarily reflect the personal ideologies of Sheru Ramprasad, but rather the official ideology of the Satrian Section.
Netaji Thought promotes the formation of a pan-Arthani national identity based upon an adaptation of socialist patriotism and the legacy of the Satrian Commandery. It opposes the existence of ethnic nationalism, instead promoting social cohesion and cultural harmony between ethnic groups. In order to implement these ideals, the ideology supports the creation of a united front of Arthasthan's ethnic groups and social classes to govern the country. It promotes an adaptation of the councilist system of governance to administrate the country. Netaji Thought promotes a market socialist economy to unite the people of Arthasthan and develop the country.
History
Components
Nationalism
The central concept of Netaji Thought is the creation of a pan-Arthani national identity. Netaji Thought places the creation and continuation of a Arthani national identity as essential to the country's continued existence as an independent state. Sheru sought to establish an national identity by adapting the socialist patriotism promoted by the Pardals into a pan-Arthani nationalism that could unite Arthasthan's culturally and religiously diverse population. They argued that since Arthani nationalism is a pan-nationalist ideology it would unite people into a common cause instead of dividing them. Furthermore it adopted the Nemtsovite concept of national liberation to argue that the Arthani people had to be united to defend against foreign imperialism.
Arthani nationalism explicitly rejects any kind of ethnic nationalism, labeling it as bourgeois nationalism and declaring it unworkable for Arthasthan's multiracial and multicultural society. Instead it promotes the multi-ethnic cultural unity of the people, and defines ethnic groups as "sub-divisions" of the Arthani people. Sheru wrote in 1937 that "Arthasthan is of many races, languages, religions and cultures; to center an identity on any one would only serve to divide our country." As a result, he and other members of the Group vehemently opposed support of ethnic nationalism and especially separatism by any ethnic group. They believed that only with a single purpose, the country could achieve prosperity and defend its independence.
The last major component of Arthani nationalism is multiculturalism, as a united identity requires that there be no conflict between the diverse people of Arthasthan. It seeks to prevent ethnic tension by placing the state as the active guarantor and protector of it. In 1945, Sheru wrote, "to secure multiculturalism, the new Republic must guarantee the principles of freedom, equality, and equal representation." The principle of freedom is the basis that all the people of Arthasthan are able to express their own culture without facing restriction by the state or prejudice by their fellow citizens. Equality refers to the principle that all the cultures and religions of Arthasthan are of equal worth so they are all equal before the law and entitled to the equal protection of the law.
Councilism
Netaji Thought embraces a councilist system of governance in order to establish what Sheru called a "peasants' democracy" in Arthasthan. Netajists embrace most concepts of councilism such as federalism, direct democracy, localism and nonpartisanism, which it views as ideal qualities which are already rooted in Arthani culture. Therefore Netajists reject most forms of governance as unfit to rule Arthasthan, especially liberal democracies which are labeled as bourgeoisie democracies.
Netajism views the traditional tribal power structures originally used by country's overwhelmingly rural population as archaic and reactionary. However Sheru argues that despite its flaws the tribal system, especially the elder-led tribal councils, are already structured similarly to the foundations of the councilist system. In addition its proponents recognized that outright abolishing the tribal system would be incredibly difficult and would led to widespread anger and resistance. Instead Netajists advocate co-opting the existing traditional tribal structures and reform them into more egalitarian and pluralistic structures. These reforms include shifting to a tribal council from one person rule, expanding participation in tribal councils to all adults, and establishing a solely ceremonial and organisational leadership.
According to Netaji Thought, the councilist system would establish a framework for the organic introduction to democracy thereby bringing greater peace and prosperity to the people of Arthasthan, by . By creating and increasing pluralism in tribal councils, they would transform into "popular councils" where all adult members of the community can participate in the political process. Higher level councils would serve as unifying institutions that would allow citizens from a region to address common issues and conflicts.
Socialism
Netaji Thought promotes its own interpretation of socialism, which it claims is adapted for Arthasthan's unique cultural and economic situation. It promotes a united trans-class society while opposing individual-class-based societies such as bourgeois or proletarian societies. Netaji Thought opposes class conflict among Arthanis and thus aims to mediate tensions between the classes of society, with the Satrian Section responsible for assigning with negotiating between managers and workers. The ideology views the main purpose of socialism in Netaji Thought is to promote economic equality, which would help achieve a unified Arthani society. The goal of creating a classless society found in traditional socialism is only mentioned in Netaji thought in the context of unifying Arthasthan's people.
Netaji Thought rejects capitalism, denouncing it as an individualist economy run by the international bourgeoisie. Furthermore it rejects state socialism, arguing that the state would only subjugate the worker to an inefficient means of managing the economy. Instead it promotes market socialism that revolves around "patriotic" organisations which have significant liberty over implementing economic policy while remaining accountable to the people and the government. These organisations would consist of a federation of local cooperatives governed by its workers and its consumers.
The partial rejection of class conflict is another concept divergent from traditional leftist thought. To a certain extent, Netaji Thought has a less hostile view of the bourgeoisie in Arthani society than traditional socialism. It views the Arthani bourgeoisie, largely consisting of the tribal landowners, as petite bourgeoisie who were exploited by Etrurian imperialism and thus are an oppressed class. It still opposes the rest of the bourgeoisie, such as pro-Etrurian "collaborators", and views the Etrurians as a fundamentally "haute bourgeoisie society" who exploited the people of Satria for over a century. To resist their influence, the ideology promotes the idea of a united front consisting of the Arthani petite bourgeoisie along with the working class, peasantry, and the intelligentsia.
However Netaji Thought recognizes that including the petite bourgeoisie in a united front, would continue exploitation between them and the rest of the classes. To end exploitation, Netaji socialism promotes a tripartite model, led by the Satrian Section that would establish fair labor regulations and strong collective bargaining for workers.
