The New World Movement, known in Merovingian as Mouvement du Nouveau Monde and Ostlander as Neue Ordnungsbewegung is an organization founded between Kerenovoian and Saintongian philosophers, political theorists, and economists in the 1900s. Its founding principles were based off Karl Marx's view of Capitalism being critical for the development of Socialism and how expanding it would lead to a faster social change. It reached its height in popularity in the 1930s and 1940s and was backed by many of the Nationalist and Fascist movements that were popular in Central Casaterra. While the movement in the modern day denies any claim, it is claimed that the movement itself was key in pushing the nations into conflict against one another due to its beliefs in Accelerationism.

Background

In 1882 Saintongian economist Silvain and Kerenovian political theorist Batteux Karsten Seidenstücker published a series of papers. These are known collectively as the Pleas for a New Order, they called for a total destruction of the current social order and in this destruction, a utopia would be found. While mostly looked over by more mainstream movements, it was lauded in many Marxist circles at the time.

While the ideas were still vague, Silvain and Seidenstücker would form a loose collection of writers who would publish their writings on the subject, both praising and critiquing Marx and other philosophers of their time. In 1900, the group would officially name themselves as the New World Movement. When the War of Sylvan Succession ended in the early 1910s, the movement began get traction as its many writers were all virtually against the conflict and many were jailed over their continued publishing of anti-war articles during this time. A new writer, Friedrich Blumhardt, had very quickly become one of the most popular members, with his very impassioned and aggressive articles on how to achieve the "new world" the group wished for.

Beliefs

The New World Movement is, when put bluntly, an Apocalyptic Accelerationist movement. Championing capitalism and nationalism, it wishes to use the two in tandem to create warfare between nations and bring about the apocalypse. From there, the movement claims, a new social order, one we possibly cannot currently comprehend, will form from the ruins of the old one. It describes that total war and destruction are the only ways to achieve this, as any change, even in the Communist revolutions of the 20th century, will inevitably still retain some vestiges of the old world.
