Xeroism

Xeroism, or Xeroist Socialism, is a political philosophy and ideology centered around the historical analyses, teachings, and legacy of Xeroise Ronango'O throughout her tenure as an official in the United Socialist States of Eldham. While named after Ronango'O, many developments in the ideological movement have been made long after her death.
It is considered to be the primary movement for communism and socialism throughout Abexilas and formerly Eldham, being the guiding principles of various socialist countries and political parties. As a political movement, Xeroists have produced more literary works than any other single movement or nation in the history of Stoneworks.
The Stoneworks server owner once described Xeroism as: "A longstanding form of socialist political and economic organization, which can lead to immense wealth". The ideology has also been prominently discussed in videos made by the server owner.
While broad in its interpretations and application, it is a movement based in scientific analysis as opposed to utopianism, advocating for the revolutionary emancipation of the working class (proletariat) and calling for the dissolution of the ruling class. In Xeroist states, the means of production (factories, farms, etc.) are owned by the working class and are freely accessible, public welfare policies are widely adopted, and proletarian democracy is established. Xeroists generally advocate for collectivist ideas, anti-imperialism, the formation of a worker's vanguard, industrialization, and the creative adaption of the movement to best fit the needs of individual societies.
== Beliefs ==
==== Xeroist Theory of Hierarchy & Private Ownership ====
Xeroists recognize the dominance of several means of state hierarchy. This includes things such as kingdoms, dictatorships, oligarchies, and military states. Xeroise believed that hierarchy is characterized by a singular trait: some people having a higher inherent value in comparison to others who are otherwise same in their faculties and capabilities. These values are then displayed in the political system. 
She [Xeroise] stated that hierarchies such as these have no reason to fundamentally exist and are rooted in sheer exploitation, whether by intention or not. She recognized that while statesmen or businessmen at the heads of state or economic hierarchies often act in ways they think are beneficial to everyone, the final product of their actions ultimately is premised on what benefits them, and that this easily leads to decisions which detriment the lower class at the benefit of the higher class.
She wrote at great length that corporations and private ownership, that is the ability to produce capital profit through ownership of the means of production, root their exploitation in the "theft" of surplus wealth created by workers underneath their belt and just as a dictator is obviously exploitative of his peasants, a capitalist is also exploitative of his workers and that this carries into every other mode of production outside of the communist one to one degree or another.The kingdom, military state, or dictatorship is the predominant form of governance across all worlds. This is characterized by a firm hierarchy; one in which some people have a more massive inherent value in comparison to their fellow countrymen. Also present is the liberal or social democracy which claims to fix the ailments of unjust hierarchy with public representation and minor welfare policies. All of these systems remain flawed however, their foundations lie in the inequalities of private ownership and capitalist, feudalist, or bandit-oriented production. With the prevalence of private accumulation of capital, kings or statesmen collect a disproportionate amount of wealth not earned by merit or work but instead ripped directly from their citizenry. The truth is that these systems are not natural but are instead the result of exploitation, whether by intention of the reigning ruling class or not. Do people not deserve the fruits of their own labor and do they not deserve the ability to be earnestly represented in the actions of the state by themselves or in some other meaningful manner?-Xeroise Ronango'O, The Red EpiphanyThe aspects of the aforementioned ‘social ladder’ in their entirety are what one would call a caste system. These systems comprise of two poles; one which is benefactory and one which is exploited or considered less ‘worthy’. There may or may not be additional positions between these polar opposites. These can be on a multitude of bases, ranging from ethnic background, economic class, religious affiliation, and more. 
Simply put, a caste system rigidly is held together by the wants and needs of those at the top. Those who are best benefited by their caste—say the rich for instance—do not have it in their personal benefit to elevate the livelihoods of those beneath them—the poor in this case—at least not without the fear of losing the margin of power they hold and being closer to those they may or may not intend to harm yet otherwise will by either being actionless or actively upholding the caste system
. . .
It is to be understood that inaction is a rigid caste system such as those based on wealth, is not simply apoliticism or centrism, but in fact an active stance that is opposed to revolutionary deconstruction of that caste system. There are only two meaningful divisions when it comes to caste; those who are for it and those who are against it. There is no middle ground in the case of oppression; only those who are so benefitted by the system before them that they can afford to not care at all.
The will of the rich—who as previously mentioned tends to lead nations as a consequence of the benefits accosted to them by their caste—is used to uphold many oppressive structures whether in relation to production, political policy and governance, town ownership, access to materials and weapons, and many other things that most people will never stop to consider. This is at best, a confusing system however. The population in question is permanent and unequivocally split into opposing parties; those who have power and those who don’t. Those who don’t tend to either wish to achieve power or dismantle the system as a whole. Those with power wish to maintain that power if not elevate it further, and prevent those beneath them from getting ahead. After all, in a system structured in a caste such as those based on wealth, not everyone gets to be high caste and the system will fall apart if there are not those upper caste folks. -Economies, Xeroise Ronango'O
Several other Xeroist theorists have also made analyses of the worlds' caste and hierarchies. 
==== Collectivism ====
Xeroists, being opposed to organized class hierarchy, generally adopted principles of collectivism. In Xeroise's own words: "No human is worth any more than their fellow peers", it is understood that no individual is inherently more valuable than another, and that a strong society builds on the collective strength of individuals, and does not rely on any one person.
As a part of her belief in collectivism, she [Xeroise] was strongly against the presence of so-called bandit or pirate states such as Barbossa or Vanakunir. She believed they distorted the need for human survival by exploiting their fellow people by stealing from the work of the exploited to bring themselves personal profit, seeing it as simply a bastardized form of the more intricate exploitation carried out by kings or businessmen.
The movement for collectivist principles was further adopted and advocated for by Xeroist theorists and politicians such as Chelovek Serebra, Rosa Ortangon, Ahudenya si Dal, and more. 
==== Vanguardism ====
Xeroise Ronango'O endorsed the principles of vanguardism, that is the formation of an entity, typically a "political party" or mass labor union, to represent the needs of the workers in mass and that this should be at the cornerstone of the government. As a part of this is the "mass line", a guiding principle that the vanguard party's priorities should be with consultation of the workers and their proactive involvement in government instead of discouraging involvement.
It is widely believed by numerous Xeroists that there is one working class, and their class interest is their emancipation. There should be one united front, called a vanguard in Xeroist theory, to represent this class interest. Many of these vanguard parties, such as the Communist Party (USSE) and the Xeroist Union Party (Zilatra), adopted principles of "democratic centralism" to settle differences in belief among those in the working class movement. 
Chelovek Serebra notably introduced the ideas of relying on the "mass line" to Xeroist political organization. This involved taking the theoretical basis of Xeroism, applying it in actual policy decisions, and revising the widely understood theoretical basis of Xeroism to reflect newfound understandings from the adoption of Xeroist policy. This allowed for Xeroism to develop in many ways over many years, theorists and economists such as Rosa Ortangon, Ilon Hutexo, Arika Ronango'O, Ahudenya si Dal, Vyacheslav von Kessel, Leon Zopasku, Yadal Krakhovich, Diogo Ronango'O, and more have all followed these principles which are first attributed to Chelovek. 
This is where the idea of "creative adaptation" came from, that the building of Xeroism may differ in one society to another depending on the material conditions of that society. It is not only expected but is desirable that the elements of Xeroism be applied and understood within the restraints of individual social orders.Our North Star is principled ideology, and our actions are done with respect to our material conditions. If you are made to run through a pool of water, you should avoid wearing a heavy Winter coat; likewise, you must adapt to the conditions of your nation when pursuing the goals of revolution.
-Ahudenya si Dal, "Revolution"
==== Revolutionism ====
It is often fundamental to Xeroism that revolutionism is used. Xeroise and her ideological peers recognized that those at the top of a hierarchy will often refuse to step away from power because it explicitly benefits them and that a socialist state or communist society cannot be established without revolutionary action; at least not without accepting undesirable concessions. While Xeroise argued that war is risky and causes needless pain, it is a necessity in most situations in order to bring a change in ideology to the general public and state apparatus.
Early Xeroists widely defined revolution as the replacement of one class by another, in the case of socialist revolutionism, the ruling class is replaced by the common people, and socialist democracy is instilled. Many later theorists, such as Arika, had more complex understandings of revolution. 
==== Xeroist economic models ====
The economic models of Xeroist states have differed drastically over time, and in-line with the ideas of creative adaption and the mass line, they differ depending on the material conditions of the server.
The most well known Xeroist economic model has been that largely created by Rosa Ortangon and later endeavored by politicians like Magerius Ukumari. This is called the Ortangonist economy.
Apparatuses of the state in the Ortangonist economy, in the USSE this would be the Commission of Industry, would adopt a series of production quotas (though these were not mandatory to fulfill) and encouraged donations since money had little use-value domestically in the USSE because of the many welfare policies adopted by the state which meant money had little to no use in the country. Productive workers would be given medals. The materials gained from this labor would be sold to the Citizens' Market which allowed the average USSE citizen to have great access to wealth, even though this wealth was not particularly "needed" in the USSE because of the abolition of the upper class. The Citizens' Market would then sell surplus goods to the Nightmarket where foreign buyers could purchase goods for very low prices, and this money would be reinvested into the socialist state and working class.
The Ortangonist economy is not the only type of economic system to be adopted by Xeroist states, and even the USSE alone had multiple economic systems throughout its history; though the Ortangonist economy was widely understood to be the most successful. 
==== Communism ====
Xeroists are generally communists, who aspire to one day form communist society. In the Xeroist sense, communist society is generally defined as a society where currency/money, states, and class have all been abolished, eliminating the elements of bourgeois and feudal economies which run contradictory to the interests of the working masses. This is widely understood to be impossible because of the current material conditions of Stoneworks, this was coined by Xeroist philosopher Arika Ronango'O as the "Monetary claim system". This necessities the existence of money in Stoneworks because of things like claim upkeep. 
Xeroists, at least until communist society is possible because of the abolition of the Monetary claim system, believe in the establishment of what they call socialism. This is widely defined as a state owned by the working class, for the working class. It generally involves the abolition of the ruling class, though the state and money still typically exist; even if decentralized and given domestically little use. It is also widely defined by the masses taking ownership of the means of production. Socialism is sometimes called the lower state of communism, while actual communist society is called the higher stage of communism. 
For this reason, no Xeroist country calls itself as a communist society unless describing the ideology of communism because they recognize the current impossibility of creating communist society in Stoneworks. For instance, the USSE called itself socialist but was led by a Communist Party. This concept is frequently misunderstood by foreigners to the movement. Regardless, Xeroists still generally advocate for communism and the development of the masses to the point where radical change can be made to the way the server is operated.

== Historical Overview ==
==== Foundation of the USSE and Xeroise Ronango'O ====
The ideology of Xeroism got its start in the very early United Socialist States of Eldham, which was founded by Aboniert Ormnidus, alongside early figureheads like Leo Belgicus and Xeroise Ronango'O. While the term Xeroism would not be coined for about a decade, many of the early principles of the ideology had already been established in the government policies. Xeroise sought out a political career in the early country where she served in various government roles. She began as a Mayor, before becoming the first Charwoman of the National Asssembly; she became notorious as she was not afraid to use her veto abilities against the then-General Secretary and openly spoke her mind on socialist decision-making.
After the death of the General Secretary Ormnidus, he would be replaced by Leo Belgicus who tended towards more libertarian and decentralized approaches in his desires for a socialist state. Xeroise was the obvious pick to be Belgicus' Deputy Secretary because of her thorough political expertise, and she was appointed to the position promptly thereafter. As Deputy Secretary, she largely handled foreign policy and led the war effort against the Ellysian Empire during the Second Coalition-Ellysian War. She also drew up the plan to divide the Empire into numerous zones, of which she was the Governor of Zone Three. She had commissioned the founding of the city of Garxeto. From this area, she founded the countries of Garxijos Yawos, the Coalition of Anarchist Communes, the Federal Republic of Cognia, and the Kingdom of Heli. Despite initial desires to make all of the Zone a socialist nation, this was resisted by other powers in the then-created Anti-Radical Syndicate.
Upon her return home to the USSE after the war, the nation had been forced into the Kunir War which had been lost horribly after the USSE's war effort was headed by the Anti-Radical Syndicate. After the war and subsequent occupation by both Newkunir and Anglunia, the political term of Belgicus ended. At this point, over forty people had been displaced from the cities of Garkogorod, Crosotex, Laria, Vostroya, and Fort Morskoy. The nation had been reduced to around a quarter of its size with the remaining land being solely in what is now Ljordmir; which at the time was an incredibly rural area with but one mere small village called Nizkaya which had promptly become the capital as a consequence of now being the only city in the nation's entire territory. Xeroise was one of the only politicians in the nation willing to continue the socialist project and run for General Secretary.
This point in history was known as the Great Humiliation and Xeroise would immediately begin her tenure with sweeping reforms of the government to institute less bureaucratic obstacles and create more direct democracy. Additionally, she and various members of underground resistance movements would begin scrambling to assemble funds and make occupation of the USSE's cities impossible, at which point Laria and Garkogorod were liberated by Xeroise. Ultimately, by the end of her term the nation had seen numerous great reforms and been returned to its size prior to the war, even if its population was still heavily stunted.
Throughout her tenure in office, she developed her thoughts into public speeches, texts, and literary works. It was her testing of the socialist framework in actual application and amending it to the obstacles encountered by the socialist project in the process that her brought her great acclaim across the nation. She had been given a dying nation on the bounds of devastating defeat and genocide, and returned it to a position in the world stage in less than a month.
By the end of her term as General Secretary, the nation's newspaper would publish an article where the collectively ideology of the nation under her was called 'Xeroism', the article was published by Rogale. Despite initial hesitation to the term from Xeroise herself, not wanting to come off as egotistical, it was widely embraced by the USSE and within a short period of time almost every politician actively called themselves Xeroists. Xeroise's political tenure in public office marked the start of what was widely called the Golden Era in the USSE.
==== Expansion of Xeroism in Early Eldham ====
The next person to ascend to leadership in the USSE would be Quintus Solokov, who shared the same beliefs as Xeroise and is widely considered an orthodox Xeroist in retrospect. He implemented further reforms to centralize the state and under his leadership the population of the USSE doubled in size and saw unprecedented domestic development; with the creation of a trans-national road system connecting the USSE's cities, including the new metropolis of Kazkaya. Many of the things that couldn't be done in the freshly war-torn country under Xeroise's tenure was done under Solokov's, namely mass industrialization and development.
Other people began to come into political prominence in the Xeroist scene at this time, namely Chelovek Serebra and Urabon Gaboliver. Chelovek felt that the USSE government had been lacking in fully taking Xeroism to its greatest prospects, and organized a worker's strike in the city of Vostroya which had been newly liberated; the strikers demanded the construction of roads connecting Kazkaya to Vostroya. To his surprise, the USSE listened and capitulated to the strikers and built the road in a single day, called the Chelovek Serebra Highway, and he began to embrace the nation he had newly joined. Urabon by contrast had joined the nation in the immediate aftermath of the Kunir War and constructed the city of Kazkaya, which quickly grew to be the largest city in the union.
After the end of the singular term of Quintus Solokov, both titans in the fledgling political scene of the USSE went head to head. Chelovek aligned heavily with Quintus' politics, but believed things had yet to be put into full motion and that the USSE was, in many respects, a slumbering giant of potential. Serebra endorsed the creation of a highly transparent centralized governemnt, mass industrialization, and the expansion of socialist projects abroad. Urabon by contrast wanted a decentralized government and advocated for Mayors to have more autonomy in their respective cities, and wanted to focus largely on the domestic development of the Xeroist project.
Chelovek won the election, and a great stage of internationalism arose in Eldham. Soialist projects in Merconis, Prubensia, Pergamos, and other nations quickly took off, and the USSE had expanded drastically. Chelovek re-insituted a democratic National Assembly and would work upon a prior Constitution drafted by Xeroise. Under Chelovek, the Xeroist economy tripled in size under his two terms and set in stone the foundations of Xeroism as a project capable of taking the world stage.
During this point in history, several schools of thought emerged within Xeroism; though these terms are seldom used today. The largest was the Solokov-Chelovekian school of thought which endorsed spreading Xeroist orthodoxy. The other prominent school of thought of this era was the Urabonic school of thought, which wanted to improve socialism domestically to make the socialist project able to defend itself from imperialism. The Urabonics argued for the dismantlement of the mass centralization seen under Solokov and called for a localized government. The Fjellianic school of though also was created at this time in the small Xeroist projects across Eldham such as in Merconis, which was more extreme than the Solokov-Chelovekians and advocated for the violent overthrow of all bourgeois nations by all means necessary; this was very uncommon and was a factor in the start of the Sand War.
Today, these are largely both condensed into different labels. Xeroists today who advocate for a centralized state often call themselves Orthodox Xeroists, or Classical Xeroists. Those who advocate for a more decentralized state are called Factional Xeroists, or sometimes called the Left Opposition.
==== Middle Traveler's Era ====
With the rise of Xeroism on the international stage across Eldham, there was great resistance to it. In the Sand War, Red War, War of Angel Altar, and other conflicts, the USSE and other Xeroist projects such as Merconis would attempt to be exterminated. These largely failed though and Xeroism continued to thrive, even though it remained under constant fire. Those in the USSE would adopt a policy known as Gáto Sau, translating to Stronghold Socialism, this was a largely isolationist movement which kept the USSE and other Xeroist projects from war. The Xeroist political scene saw notable figures like Van'la Gaboliver, Aleksander Serebra, KPX Triscus, Kato Leasian, Wolfgang God-Fjell, Krakhov, and more. Xeroise also published some of the last of her political treatises at this time. 
At this point, Xeroist projects had prospered in Xeka, Navarna, Kaladinia, Sotrania, and Liberum. Many of these would be in the direct USSE sphere of influence due to their ideological similarities. Xeroists found themselves in the forefront of the Atlechian War, Furry War, Uraki Civil War, Collapse of Othmyrr, and other conflicts at this point. 
Xeroism in the middle Traveler's Era was marked by decades of isolationism sharply contrasted by strategic interventionism and the further consolidation of Xeroist ideology into the ideological framework that exists today. Little has changed in the actual ideology of the movement since its literary consolidation during this century or so of history.
==== Late Traveler's Era ====
The Late Traveler's Era is what would truly put Xeroism on the world stage and make it an uncontested powerhouse of the socialist movement for all of Stoneworks history moving forward. Already, it has seen great successes, but the Xeroist projects prior to this era were largely underestimated and seen as a joke by many in the bourgeois world; and as such, not taken seriously. 
Over this time period, Xeroist projects industrialized rapidly and developed new economic programs, became the largest wartime producers in Stoneworks history up until that point, and was finally able to rival the bourgeois world in meaningful ways. Xeroist leaders of this time included Piér Anagar, Chelovek Serebra III, Yonathain Davidovich, Magerius Ukumari, Rosa Ortangon, Arika Ronango'O, Ren Serebra, Mestur Nethin, Solastaran Serebra, Wntryi Ukumari, Diogo Ronango'O, Frogchad, Matej Kolar, Tim Lucid, Op-Manisol, and more. Xeroist projects had emerged in Medtremar, Valreshiya, Noskye, Karino, and more during this era.
The USSE, through the works of Ilon Hutexo and Rosa Ortangon, devised new economic programs ultimately called the Ortangon economy which made the USSE one of the wealthiest nations on the planet. The USSE also saw powerful military victories in the Furry War and Liberation War. By the end of the Traveler's Era, and the end of Eldham, the USSE was an uncontested global war and Xeroists had political parties ranging from Hrabia, to Azcoria, to Montroig, to Korolia, and more. This era had marked the effectivity of Xeroism as a movement. While it never took off in Rathnir, in great part due to the collapse of the United Burgamerian Socialist Republics, Eldham had seen remarkable successes with Xeroism. Many of these successes are recorded in videos made by the Stoneworks server owner.
==== Early Voyager's Era ====
In the early world of Abexilas, Xeroism had expanded rapidly in its popularity due to the proven successes of the movement in Eldham. The Xeroist Republic of Zilatra, Tävuken Mäntíchí, People's Xeroist Republic of New Protlistan, Transdom of Transaria, and the Federal Union of Xeroist Novaterra were all founded on this precipice. Additionally, Xeroists would come to lead the governments in the Federal Republic of Kassylia and the Xeroist Republic of Vitsala, adopting Xeroist policies. Even in countries like the Dominion of Sentara, Xeroists came to make up the entire legislature of the nation by the 20's VE. By the mid-point of the decade, it is estimated more than four hundred people lived in states led by a Xeroist government, not including those in general who belonged to Xeroist political organizations and political parties. A decade after the fact, that number may have arguably been as high as six hundred or more.
While some socialist countries resisted calling themselves Xeroist, overwhelmingly the tide of socialism across the world of Abexilas had risen. Groups such as the Abexilas Socialist Internationale fostered widespread cooperation and the spread of Xeroism into nations such as Vozdravija, Krasnoi, Calevaria, Latria, and more.
By the 60's VE, nations like Zilatra were among the most productive nations in much of Abexilas, and was the second most populous nation in the entire world; boasting a population of nearly 400 people alone. There was widespread propaganda efforts against Xeroism from around the 40's-60's VE as fears of the Abexilas Socialist Internationale and Xeroism at large were rather rampant. From Ischanor, Vhagaria, Potilov, and other nations, there was very profound efforts to keep Xeroists out of power. In spite of this, Xeroist ideals continued to spread in nations like Testificas, Novakrasny, Arratis, Nasovych, Nivistrata, Latria, and more.
== Forms of Xeroism ==
There are a number of ideological currents that are derived from traditional orthodox Xeroism that have been practiced by a number of political parties and nations over time.
==== Ecological Xeroism ====
Largely theoretically formed by the literature of the Zilatran conservationist and politician Iyul si Unus, this current is defined by demands that a truly socialist/communistic society would exist in coexistance with the natural world. Demands for ecological preservation and more are often made by Ecological Xeroists.
==== Democratic Xeroism / Netzlism ====
While over the centuries a number of groups have held near-identical views to what is contemporarily called Netzlism, this ideology calls for using the liberal democratic institutions, such as elections and legislatures, as a means to establish Xeroist principles. This is often rejected by most orthodox Xeroists who claim that those who rest at the top of a class structure will often refuse the ability for their class privileges to be dismantled. Several other facets are common to Netzlism, such as anti-Vanguardism, may be tenets of the ideology. It was largely formulated by Ari Netzl and is the main ideological current of the Democratic Socialist Party of Calaveria, though other groups had advocated for "Democratic Xeroism" for centuries prior, dating back to the United Socialist States of Eldham.
==== Liberation Theology / Divine Xeroism ====
There have been a great number of ostensibly religious movements which have borrowed from Xeroism, or claimed to be Xeroists directly. Perhaps most famously, there was large amounts of Gonfists on Eldham and Abexilas respectively who were Xeroists, and claimed that Gonfism as a religion served Xeroist ideals. The Book of Apparitions, part of Gonfist tradition, is widely interpreted to hold Xeroist ideals. Works by leaders such as Arika Ronango'O and Éamon Iognáid de Gríobhtha have also owed heavily to what is called Divine Xeroism.
In the former USSE, many practitioners of the now extinct Oxinto religion were staunch Xeroists as well.
Other groups, such as Fishist Socialists have also combined religious or spiritual tenets with Xeroism. This was largely formulated by James Faustino.
==== National Xeroism ====
Having been created multiple times throughout history independently of eachother, virtually all Xeroists unilaterally do not associate themselves with what has been called National Xeroism. National Xeroists generally reject the notion of class struggle, and call for national struggle instead. 
===== Hrabian Collectivism =====
Hrabian Collectivism (Hrabian: Hrbskij Skarbijzm) Also called Xeroist-Anastykovism and “Socialism with Hrabian Characteristics” was a form of Xeroist thought prevalent in the Eldhamic Nation of Hrabia as the ideology of the ruling “Hrabian People’s Front”. It was largely based on the theories of a handful of Hrabian intellectuals collectively known as “The Ogorogorod school”, led by Pjokr Anastykovich (oftentimes known as simply “Anastykov”) and Onleush Kannovich. These Hrabian Scholars looked to free Hrabia from Sethris’ monarcho-oligarchy. Following the Hrabian Revolution, all property within the new Hrabian Democratic People’s Republic was collectivized, and many Sethrian and Foreign nationals were detained and deported if they refused to convert themselves into Hrabs. Dual-citizens who refused to renounce foreign citizenships were stripped of Hrabian citizenship and deported. The national military force, called the Hrabian Guard (Hrabian: Hrbska Garda) enshrined a policy called “people’s single-mindedness” ( Hrabian: Ljódska Jëdno-Myšlošč) which demanded all Hrabian citizens must be unanimously in favour of any government action, under penalty of death. All government action was dictated by Premier Anastykov, as he declared himself “Ultimate Representative of the People” arguing that the people were too misinformed and ignorant to think for themselves. Collectivist rule in Hrabia ended following the Assassination of Anastikov and a coup by the Sethris-backed General Alekseyev Maksim, ultimately ending in a bloody civil war. The principles of Hrabian Collectivism are well detailed in Anastykov’s book, “The Principles of Hrabian Collectivism” which bares striking similarities in National Xeroism, outlining a Hrabian struggle for purity against 'lesser races'. 
==== Iletriosist Socialism / Latrian Xeroism ====
Iletriosist Socialism, otherwise referred to as Latrian Xeroism and Socialism with Latrian Characteristics, is a political philosophy and ideology centered around the historical teachings of Laina Rose Iletriosa, the First General Secretary of Latria and Faylinias. It is closely related to the Xeroist ideology in terms of economic practices, however differs in its belief of governance, and focuses more on the preservation of the Latrian people, culture and state, alongside stressing concerns about agriculture and the ecological state of Abexilas, similar to Ecological Xeroism, among taking inspiration from other ideologies like Kroosechism and Social-Nationalism.
==== Hrabian Maksimism / Maksimist Thought ====
Hrabian Maksimism or Maksimist Thought was a Xeroist based politicial idealogy founded by Politician and General of the Hrabian Guard Alexejev Maksim as a reaction to Pjokr Anastykovich's ascension to a dictatorial status. The writings in his book, 'The Maksimist Proclamation' outlines the basic principles of reintroduction of the Children of Ogor into the common moral standings of the Hrab state, the implementation of fair democratic elections under Ogoric equality, and the destruction of the class struggle between the Hrab ruling class and the brainwashed civilian. Using his generalship of the Hrabian Guard, Maksim was able to stage a coup against the Hrabian Collectivist rule of Anastykovich and implement his policies on a national scale. His swift actions led to the Maksim-Hrbzic Ogoric War, causing the reannexation of Hrabia to Sethris and the total eradication of the Hrabian Collectivist ideology.
