Alegrian Socialism

== Alegrian Socialism ==
Alegrian Socialism is a philosophy and political idealogy pioneered by Zogaris, and has many connections and ties to Amarillian Socialism. The creation of Alegrian Socialism dates back to Zogaris's rebellion in Amagoria. During this time, Zogaris had been reflecting upon his life and what he had been fighting for. The Rebellion transformed him, and he began to refine his ideals. Alegrian Socialism, however, is not just a idealogy of Zogaris's making. It is a idealogy that Potatus Inferro played a major role in, due to Potatus Inferro being a major figure in Amarillian Socialism, which is what Alegrian Socialism is based off of.
Alegrian Socialism is primarily practiced in.... Alegria, hence the name. The idealogies followers tend to preach ideas such as illegalization of taxes on citizens, elimination of private property, community values, and inalienable rights guarenteed to citizens. Another thing Alegrian Socialists preach is peaceful transittioning to a socialist government in most cases. However, in the event that a government deliberately attempts to supress or illegalize socialism or socialist thought, rebellion is advised by Alegrian Socialists.
== History ==
=== Amarillian Socialism ===
During the rise of Socialism within Amarillo, and the subsequent rise of the Amarillian Socialist Party, Zogaris had been working hard to develop his nation into a stable and prosperous Socialist Republic. However, he began to reflect upon his socialist values and began to realize something.. 
The values the Amarillian Socialist Party and subsequently Amarillian socialism preached were formed out of the mold of political fears. The so called "Socialists" barely even supported limiting buisness. Their idealogical code was disorganized, and they werent willing to do what needed to be done for the betterment of workers everywhere. So, Zogaris and his other Socialist Comrades began rethinking their values. What had been formed out of fear, what had been formed out of courage, and what had been formed out of greed? 
In the end, Zogaris and his comrades came to the conclusion that their old idealogy of Amarillian Socialism must be abandoned in favor of a more radical and efficient idealogy, one not afraid to fight the bosses, criminals, and bullies of Eldham. In the end, they came up with Alegrian Socialism. 
=== Application in Alegria ===
As of now, Zogaris and other politicians in Alegria have made it clear that they plan to implement policies in line with Alegrian Socialism, for the betterment of workers everywhere. This includes things such as having nationalized buisness's, similar sized housing to discourage social classes, etc.
== Ideals ==
Alegrian Socialists believe in the mostly legal transition from a capitalist and or other forms of government to a socialist government. Alegrian Socialists believe that the blood of workers should not be shed, as a violent revolution could lead to philosophical and societal whiplash, and in the longrun completely killing off the original society that came before the revolution. This can lead to a power and cultural vaccuum, which can allow dictators or foreign powers the ability to seize power. However, Alegrian Socialists have made it clear that in the event of a government attempting to silence or supress socialists, that there is no other options but to take up arms and fight for your ideals.
In terms of actual ideals, Alegrian Socialists believe in the elimination of private property. Housing is a right in the view of Alegrians, and no single individual should withhold the right to "own" property. Alegrian Socialists also believe in illegalization of taxes due to the fact that many workers spend their entire day working, and that having that taken away from you just so you can live is a moral crime. 
Alegrian Socialisms view on buisness is different from the traditional capitalistic perspective. Alegrians believe that without government nationalization of buisness, the space for buisness's to be used as tools to enslave the masses is far too wide. Instead, the role of a buisness must be changed from a tool of profit and exploitation, to a tool used for providing security and economic prosperity to the masses.
Democracy within Alegrian Socialism is a incredibly important part of the idealogy. Due to its ties to Amarillian Socialism, Alegrian Socialism believes in concepts such as seperation of powers, checks and balances, and elected officials. It is the belief of Alegrian Socialists that the economy and government should be under control of the workers in the thresholds of a representative democracy.
Alegrian Socialisms view on hierarchy is mixed. Alegrian Socialists tend to preach reduction of hierarchy and social classes, so that there are only two true social classes, normal workers and citizens, and government officials. There should be no extravagant housing or buildings for the elite, typically seen in most modern kingdoms or empires. Every man, woman, and child should be subjected to the same standards of living.
