Usyerism

*Note: Usyerism refers to the off-shoot of Marxism developed by Usyer Naem and also goes under the name **Adorian Marxism** and the **Three State Method** however, the name Usyerism is used by the article to prevent confusion with other ideologies.*

### Overview:

**Usyerism** is the ideology developed by Usyer Naem in order to "apply Marxism to the conditions of modern Adoria" as he believed that other Marxist ideologies such as Leninism and Maoism did not make sense for the conditions of Adoria as Adoria is not "semi-feudal" nor a "declining empire with an absolute monarchy" and that as applying ideologies designed for those situations to a country that has significantly different conditions would end up poorly. The ideology seems to draw inspiration from council communists but does not completely disregard the ideas of other Marxist ideologies as the ideology does incorporate ideas such as partial state ownership and world revolution. Usyerism first came into existence with the publishing of "Marxism in Adoria: The Application of Socialism in a Modern Adoria". In this article published by The Central Post, Usyer Naem lays out the framework for which he believes socialism and communism will be achieved in Adoria, that being the transition to socialism via nationalization of major industries and the creation of labor councils, the transfer of nearly all economic power to the councils, and finally the empowerment of the councils and the advancement of socialism to the point of communism.

### Transition to Socialism:

Usyerists believe that the transition to socialism will occur when the state takes control of major industries to fund welfare programs as well as other programs beneficial to the working class as well as the creation of a network of state and national labor councils divided by industry made up of democratically elected workers who will have the power to regulate the industries in which they represent. Overtime, the government will transfer nationalized sectors of the economy over to the councils and the councils will also eventually assume control of all workplaces in the country. The constitution will then be rewritten to guarantee essential goods and services as rights as well as enshrining the councils in the constitution alongside a second legislative house made up of members elected by every council proportional to the size of the industry who will hold the sole power to pass legislation relating to the economy and banks and will be able to veto laws passed by the National Assembly.

### Transition to Communism:

Usyerists believe that once socialism has been achieved in Adoria that similar nations will experience similar movements inspired by Adoria and have similar paths towards socialism allowing for cooperation between them. As well as this they believe that as the labor councils grow in power that the role of the traditional state will become increasingly small until it reaches the point of obsolescence as councils are able to functionally govern the country without the need for the state. They also believe that as the councils will treat all workers as equal with an equal say in governance with equal economic power that class will effectively erode away alongside the need for currency as most things will be provided for communally. They believe that this will likely happen in tandem with other socialist countries leading to at least a region of the world being truly communist which will eventually spread across the world uniting all people as equals.

### Role of the Party:

Usyerists believe in the idea of a mass worker's party but reject vanguardism as the Adorian people are educated and have at least some class consciousness and that by having a traditional vanguard party that you "needlessly create a new ruling class". They believe that a worker's party should serve the purpose of uniting, organizing, and educating the working class as well as guiding the government towards socialism. They believe that without a party, the working class will be unable to effectively organize as they would be too divided to stand as one against capitalism.

### Stance on Revolution:

Usyerists take a Centrist Marxist position by participating in elections and still fighting for reforms to help the working class while still advocating for broader revolution and encouraging the working class to take power into their own hands and use direct action against the government when possible and necessary in order promote large scale change.
