Sorelianism

Sorelianism is a political philosophy created by Georges Sorel, which believes in Syndicalist economics with a guiding force of Catholicism.

The "Myth"
Sorelianism believes in a concept called the "Myth". Contrary to what its name may suggest, the Myth is not necessarily false, but is simply a rallying point for a movement. The primary Myth of Sorelianism is that of the General Strike and the belief that it can shape everything around it.

[[File:CathModern.png]]Catholicism as a Guiding Force
Sorel viewed Catholicism as inherently a conservative socialist religion, particularly in its lack of respect for other religions, its homophobia, and its misogyny, as well as its exaltation of the weak and opposition to human inequality.

The Necessity of Violence
In Sorel's book "Reflections on Violence", he expresses the feeling that it is very helpful in revolution, but also that once his ideal society was in place, it would no longer be necessary.

Authoritarianism
Sorelianism is extremely against individual liberty, viewing it as what destroyed the Paris Commune. As such, it views a strong leader as necessary and proposes a plan for a revised Monarchy.

Syndicalism
It views trade unions as the best and most efficient method of organizing workers for a general strike and later revolution.

Theocracy
It views Catholicism as the only way to make good laws for his ideal state. As opposed to Fascism, which just has strong ties to Catholicism, Sorelianism views the Church as necessary to his state.

Personality
Sorelianism is very religious and constantly attempts to get other balls to organize. He talks about how with the general strike, they can create an ideal world, guided by the Church.
