Rationalism is a culturally and economically right-wing, ethnocentric, statist and nationalist auth-right ideology that presents itself as the rational alternative to neoliberal wokeism and later also anarcho-syndicalism. Due to this, it is very reactionary in nature and arose by the end of the 2020s as a counterreaction to said wokeness.

Economically, it tends to embrace a state regulated capitalism similar to that of Keynesianism. Unlike fascism, rationalism is not very racist, though at least non-angloponic rationalism tends to be very anti-immigration. Rationalism is conservative, however tends to rebuke concepts of freedom of religion and individual liberties, viewing it as a shallow and unnecessary distraction from the real goal of serving the state. Rather than believing the state is for the people, it believes the people are for the state, which stood in stark contrast to most conservative movements back in his infancy. Rationalism also gradually became increasingly anti-theist, as the process of secularism concluded.

Angloponic Governance

'''Angloponic Governance'''

Each state elects a "Rationale" as state governour based on merit and rationality. The Rationales in turn pick the Imperator, who will be dictator for life unless 60 % of the Rationales vote to depose him. Each Rationale can decide to "critique" (half the turn length of another Rationale) every year, whilst the Imperator can do the same but once every other month. The starting term limit of a Rationale is 160 years.

''~~'Early History'''~~

The only people deemed eligeble to vote are the meritocratic elite, who will, upon their state's Rationale's term limit having expired, vote for a new one based on merit. If the Imperator chooses to devote his time to it, and deems any potential candidate as irrational (either on an ideological or on an intellectual basis) he has the veto right to nullify their campaign. If the Imperator wants to use his veto right in this regard but the voting is completed before he can do it, the Rationale gets chosen either way, thus encouraging more speedy politics compared to in a democratic system.

=== '''Early History''' ===

The far-right saw a gradual rise in the early 2000s, however the rationalism we think of when we hear the word today didn’t come about until the National Front won the French election in 2029. The word itself wasn’t coined until 2026 however.

Line 34:

Line 58:

After the French 2029 election, rationalism quickly began to spread like wildfire, especially after the left’s failure to prevent the European 2029 stock market crash in Germany. The national-conservative ruling party of Italy Fratelli d’Italia modeled their politics after the French and far-right parties of Poland and Spain also started taking notes. After this, most of the Old West ended up falling to rationalism as the French and American movements morphed into one. Rationalism then presided to purge the woke left into near extinction, only returning as smaller movements in the Republic of Russia and during the Second African Revolution over 30 years later.

=== '''Decline''' ===

'''Decline'''

Ever since neoliberal wokism had been essentially made extinct, rationalism had began to lose its steam. This may have contributed to URA's reckless persue of influence expansion in spite of the state of his economy, as means of creating a new goal for the people to be motivated for, in order to not fall into utter irrelevancy alltogether. In 2085 Poland brought back elections and his rationalist party was immediately voted out in favor of a more moderate national democracy. World War III saw the fall of most rationalist countries in Europe, including one of the founding fathers of rationalism, (ie France). This, coupled with the fall of anarchism made rationalism's original purpose now obsolete. For most scholars of rationalism it has quickly become apparent that rationalism must adapt and reform it is wants to survive the comming decades.
