Olerism

Olerism is a political, socioeconomic, and philosophical ideology centered around the revolutionary ideas and policies of the People's Socialist National Federation, formerly the People's Socialist Nation of Frostshire. The ideology seeks to merge socialism with a meritocratic system, ensuring that while all citizens' needs are met, those who contribute more to the state are rewarded with additional privileges.
Olerism stands as an early socialist movement in southern Abexilas, shaping the governance of PSNF and influencing other socialist states. Built on centralized state power, worker control of production, and equality, Olerism envisions a world where wealth disparity and class are eliminated, and citizens thrive in a collective society.
Olerism rejects communist utopian ideals, recognizing that while complete equality is ideal, it is not permissible due to people's nature. Olerists prioritize economic control, centralized leadership, and collective ownership of resources to create a sustainable socialist society.
== Beliefs ==
=== Anti-Private ownership ===
Olerism is built on the belief that private ownership leads to inequality and exploitation. The state must control all means of production to ensure resources are allocated fairly based on merit and need, and that all people have access to the same industries as their fellow citizens. There is no private property, only state-allocated land, which can be withdrawn at the government's discretion. Land and resources are managed by the Supreme Leader and the state, ensuring that no individual or group can accumulate excessive wealth without contributing their labor to the collective.
Citizens are provided with free, state-standardized housing, access to free food, and other necessities. Exceptional contributions to the state are rewarded with additional privileges, such as access to better housing or land, but all wealth remains subject to state control. Olerists believe that merit-based reward systems incentivize hard work and serve to disconnect labor from capital gain, recognizing the social approval that comes with community contributions. Merit can be measured via social credit systems in which the central government allocates rewards based on instances of community-benefitting behavior and contribution. 
=== Collectivism ===
Olerism promotes the idea that a strong society is built on cooperation. Citizens who work hard for the collective good are granted privileges, but these privileges are not permanent and can be revoked by the state if necessary. This balance between equality and merit forms the cornerstone of Olerism.
=== Revolution and centralization ===
Olerism enforces strict centralization of power under the Supreme Leader, who has indefinite power but is checked by a constitutional system that allows the people to dispose of the leader if they become corrupt. This centralization is seen as necessary to protect the state from capitalist insurgencies and to ensure that socialist ideals are upheld.
While Olerism is revolutionary, advocating for the overthrow of capitalist systems, it recognizes the need for moderation, understanding that excessive violence can breed chaos within the movement. The PSNF is governed by a single-party system, with power flowing from the Supreme Leader, through the High Council, to the Ministers who control various aspects of society. Ministers are chosen based on their merit and ability to serve the collective. Olerist states generally disallow political parties because they are considered vehicles of dissent.
=== Social welfare ===
Olerism guarantees social welfare to all citizens, including free housing, food, and access to resources. All citizens are guaranteed equal protection under the law. Olerists frown upon discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, or wealth that might cause failure to adhere to a fair and equitable Social Welfare system.
== Aesthetic ==
Olerism’s visual identity is dominated by red colors, nationalistic flags, and symbols of hammers and pickaxes reinforcing the values of labor and socialism. State uniforms and architecture reflect this aesthetic, with buildings ranging from brutalist government structures to humble, government-standardized housing. Communal gathering spaces, like the amphitheater, serve as key venues for rallies and celebrations.

Olerism began as a response to the struggles of Frostshire in the early days of PSNF. Oler, a humble Mud Goblin from Gbalg'Gwb'Gwagm'Gboyltl, arrived and established the town of Frostshire on the icy terrain of the Sea of Fallen Stars' iceberg clusters. The harsh winter months and economic difficulties led to the development of Olerist socialism, as citizens began sharing farms and land in pursuit of mutual survival and national progress. Under Oler's leadership, the PSNF government abolished private ownership and centralized all land and resources under state control.
The early years of Olerism were marked by a shift to a command economy, ensuring that citizens' basic needs were met while rewarding those who contributed the most to society.
PSNF expanded into new ranges with the purchase of Coalthguard, not far from Sentara. PSNF and with it, Olerism, further instilled itself into Abexilas global politics, as well as the Socialist community. Coalthguardian industrial revolutions accelerated economic growth enabling a strong working culture.
