Mazzinian republicanism

The Republican Conspirator

«Thought and action.»

Unites homeland and humanity: the nation as a community of free and equal citizens, the republic as the form of government, duties as the foundation of rights, and educating the people as a political task.

In short

On the traditional scale, this ideology sits in the center-left camp. The clearest positions are on democracy: strongly towards “direct democracy”; sovereignty: fairly towards “sovereignty”; method: fairly towards “rupture”; religion: slightly towards “religion”. On state, environment, foreign policy, justice and immigration it stays balanced. Among the other ideologies, the closest is techno-populism (91%).
