Patriotic socialism

The Sovereign Partisan

«Social justice and national sovereignty are the same fight.»

Combines a socialist economy with defending national sovereignty against foreign and financial powers. Distrusts both the global market and supranational institutions.

In short

On the traditional scale, this ideology sits in the authoritarian center camp. The clearest positions are on economy: strongly towards “equality”; sovereignty: strongly towards “sovereignty”; devolution: strongly towards “centralism”; state: fairly towards “authority”. On religion it stays balanced. Among the other ideologies, the closest is bolivarianism (97%).
