List of political ideologies (INWU)

A political ideology is a belief system concerned with conceptions of how society should work and offering a political and cultural blueprint for a certain idealized social order, sustaining its conclusions on specific ethical, ideological and doctrinal ideals. Political ideologies have two dimensions: one one hand its objectives, i.e. or how society should be organized; and on the other methods, i.e. the most appropriate way to achieve this goal.

The following list attempts to divide interrelated ideologies found in common political life into a number of macro-groups. The names of the headers do not necessarily imply some hierarchical order or that one ideology evolved out of the other; instead, they are merely noting that the ideologies in question are practically, historically and ideologically related to each other. As such, one ideology can belong to several groups and there is sometimes considerable overlap between related ideologies. The meaning of a political label can also differ between countries and consequently between political parties; which may espouse the same self-declared ideology but with considerable ideological divergences in practice.

Mutualism

Mutualism is a political, social and economic philosophy concerned primarily with the promotion of social justice through the fair and equitable preservation of what is known as the Mutual contract. The basic tenants of Mutualism include democratic governance, income redistribution (particularly in regards to so-called dynastic income), worker syndication, equal social and economic opportunity, state-sponsored welfare, and regulatory economics.

Social Republicanism

Social Republicanism was originally a Florencian nationalist ideology that supported the creation and development of a left-orientated federal republic through progressive revolutionary means. The ideology represents a fusion of civic nationalism, workers democracy, and democratic socialist economics within the structure of a liberal republic. It supports political pluralism and individualism, rejecting such concepts as a vanguard party or heavy handed confiscatory policies in regards to private property.
