The present text looks to guide citizens in eRepublik (old or new) in choosing the political party that better adjust to his/her political intentions and goals, something important respecting party recruitment. Nevertheless, I repeat: this is only a guide, not the revealed truth. If you have any suggestion about other ideologies that can be applied in eRepublik or some disagree about the article, feel free to comment it.

TOTALITARIANISM
 
 
eWiki Definition: Totalitarianism (or totalitarian rule) is a concept used to describe political systems whereby a state regulates nearly every aspect of public and private life. Totalitarian regimes or movements maintain themselves in political power by means of an official all-embracing ideology and propaganda disseminated through the state-controlled mass media, a single party that controls the state, personality cults, control over the economy, regulation and restriction of free discussion and criticism, the use of mass surveillance, and widespread use of terror tactics.

 
Implementation in eRepublik:
1. Dictatorship required.
2. Government in a context of "Close Society", where all important decisions are taken privately.
3. Political Repression: Opposition to regime are banned from any public aid or policy, citizenship lost if they leave the country and publication and promotion of pro-totalitarian articles by buying votes for those (Voters Club), also with the goal to barring critical press from Top 5 or Top 10 articles from national media.

POLITICAL SPECTRUM
 
 
 
+ Totalitarian Socialism/Communism. Socialism/Communism from above, industrialization, extensive use of state propaganda, cult of personality and disavowal by liberalism (multi-party system and political rights), while means of production belongs to State, who use those means to distribute all the production between their worker citizens from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs/work (Communism) or to each according his contribution (Socialism).
+ Import Tax and VAT shall be raised to 99% and 25%, respectively.
+ Work Tax shall be raised to 25% and Minimum Wage will be enhanced until an amount that surpass the best national job offer by far. With this, it's partially guaranteed the elimination of employer-employee hierarchical relationship.
+ State will offer a job offer with a pantagruelian salary to manipulate the Work Tax and guarantee, by that action, an expropriation by taxation to all citizens' companies and even combat orders and money medals.
+ Once achieved that expropriation, the tax collection obtained by the State and the income by ORGs in monetary market will be used to buy goods (food, weapons, houses, tickets, money for raw materials) and distribute them to all their citizens and to improve quality in citizens' companies, training grounds, permanent houses, storages and rocket factory. Any surplus in production will be sold in foreign markets to collect additional income.
+ It's ultimately essential the State have an accountability log about the distribution of goods or aids to the population, looking for them to having the essential goods to develop their routine daily, and a control log for government's public servants in case they must receive public funds to create and improve companies exclusively located in a national Holding and severely punish those public servants who change citizenship and doesn't give back the resources.
+ Socialism/Communism from above: Dictator and his inner circle makes an administrative elite that manage the socialist/communist state.

 
 
 
+ People's Democratic Dictatorship. State represents and acts in behalf of the people, but possess and may use dictatorial power against reactionary forces. Also promotes a market economy with mixed companies (private companies with some property from the state).
+ Protectionism (Import tax raised to 99% and high VAT) to support national industries until they are strong enough to compete in a free market.
+ Minimum Wage for laborers protection, respectively.
+ The State will use tax collection (except Work Tax) and income from ORGs to tax refund for workers, an universal basic income and/or distribution of goods (food, weapons, houses, tickets, money for raw materials) for all citizens, government spending and support for infrastructure (creation and improve of companies, training grounds, permanent houses, storages and rocket factories), all the former actions under egalitarian principles and meritocracy.
+ Mixed companies: State will acquire some of the properties from national Holdings to get utilities by earnings generated by the companies. In return, State will actively help in investment on those Holdings (creation and upgrades of companies). For that, Work Tax will be exclusively dedicated for that investment, after tax return to employees and the corresponding part of profits to the employers if the tax was to be excessively charged.
+ Democratic centralism: Ruling party members will debate and decide democratically. The decisions taken by majority will be binding and obligatory for members and leaders and it's forbidden to publicly express disagreement. In return, they shall have the right to require periodical accountability about party activities.

 
 
+ Enlightened Absolutism. Dictator fostered education, respect for private property, freedom of speech and another civil rights, based in liberty and progress, despite political despotism.
+ State can intervene in market taxes (Import Tax and VAT on industries and commodities) according to the needs of the country, with emphasis in promote trade with other countries although some punctual protectionism is allowed and some internal tax collection (by VAT) to social aids.
+ Work Tax will have the percentage enough to allows state operation and determined social policies (like aids in food, weapons, houses, tickets, raw materials, or equality of opportunities to create or improve companies, training grounds and other infrastructure with Central Bank's credits -based in ORGs).
+ Support to industrial class through subsidies in raw material and government spending of their production.

+ Fascism. Partial capitalism with economical support from state to big corporations. In return, corporations will help state with investment in infrastructure and military forces.
+ Low VAT to support free trade and free market, with some tax collection.
+ Partial capitalism: State looks on comercial partners (and imposing trade embargoes over the rest of countries) or establishment of protectionism (Import Tax: 99😵 to promote industrial self-sufficiency.
+ Low Work Tax and Minimum Wage to impulse competitiveness in the marketplace and capital accumulation, some tax collection is allowed.
+ State allies with big corporations (Holdings with many companies developed in quality) at the expense of little companies and trade unions. Tax collection goes to corporations support in infrastructure (Creation and upgrade of companies) and administrative operation (defense, education, diplomacy). Corporations, in turn, also support their partners (training grounds, permanent houses, rocket factory) and the state to improve military forces.
+ Social justice can be applicable, but it isn't priority, except if there are economical crisis.
