Activationism, also known as national activationism or Steenism, is a political ideology that views private property as the ultimate expression of human liberty. Activationism considers the right to property to be both a negative and positive right, necessitating a strong and authoritative state apparatus to both protect the rights of the people and ensure equitable access to ownership. Activationism was developed by Henrik Steen, a Kepplandic military officer who served as president from 1914 until 1935. Political scientists often describe activationism as a syncretic movement, and supporters of the ideology claim to reject conventional left- and right-wing politics alike.
