The Discordian Political System

The Discordian Political System refers to the ideology - declared or otherwise - of politicians within the Republic and within Discord as a whole in regards to the actual functioning of the server, in contrast to the more roleplay-oriented descriptions of "Conservatism, Socialism, etc."
There have been multiple ideologies created exclusively for the use of Discord Governments, including Discordianism and other ideologies. However, many ideological placements have been informal.
== Reform v. Reaction ==
One of the easiest ways to generalize Discordian politics is to divide politics up into "Reformist" and "Reactionary" policies and individuals. The so-called Reform and Reaction branches in ROD have shifted many times over the ages, but at the moment the Conservative Movement appears to be filled with pro-law and order candidates who oppose the "Just Do It" mentality of many radical reformists when it comes to changing Discordia. On the other side, the Liberal/Reform wing of Discordian politics consists of mostly Conservative IRL individuals who oppose the stringency of Discordian law and seek to dismantle most, if not all of it.
Following the Presidency of Rivera Romano the Third, the political spectrum appeared to flip, as the Reform Movement became dominated by Radical Reformists rather than the Progressive Movement of the days before.

== Power v. Restraint ==
Another important but less defining political argument within the Republic is the argument between Administrative Power and restraint. Proponents of Admin Power v. Restraint have mostly remained in the same space, so it is a much easier indicator of political placement.
