The Orthodox General Union (Esperanto: Ortodoksa Ĝenerala Unio) is a far-right political party in Landolagoj.
Ideology
The party is divided on economic issues between Corporatism (Ortodoksas) and Neoliberalism (Nova Ĝenerala).
The Ortodoksas are neo-fascists and national conservatives who reject both capitalism and communism. They support economic coportaism and are the most radical faction in the party. Between 1950 and 1989 it was the most powerful faction in the party. However, in the 1980s the neoliberals became the most dominant force in the party. Currently it is the most powerful faction in the party.
The Nova Ĝenerala are neo-fascists, national conservatives and national liberals who support neoliberal economic policies. They are inspired by the neoliberal policies of military dictatorships in Latin America in the 1980s and 1990s. Between 1989 and 2016 the Nova Ĝenerala was the most powerful faction in the party.
