Xeroism

Xeroism-Solokovism (XS), or sometimes additionally known as Xeroism-Solokovism-Chelovek Thoght (XSCT), is a political ideology based upon the teachings, philosophy, and political legacy and actions of Xeroise Ronango'O, Quintus Solokov, and sometimes Chelovek Serebra.

It is one of the most predominate socialist and communist political movements in Eldham, being the predominately popular ideology within the USSE. It is often simplified as advocating for a transitional state into communism and adversely supporting socialist democracy, support of the international proletarian movements, creative adaptation of the socialist state to best fit the needs of the people, a either completely or partially state-controlled economic system, and support of a "vanguard party".

Xeroise Presidency
The prevailing ideology in the Communist Party of the United Socialist States of Eldham is Xeroism-Solokovism, Chelovek thought. This ideology has been handed down by the actions and wirings of the president's of the USSE since what has been considered the golden age of the nation. Xeroise laid out her governing principles in the following statement:"'Reliance on the democratic process, popular support of the people, assurance in the stability of the nation, and the creative adaptation of the socialist project to best reflect the pressing needs of the people. In a sense, the government is a fluid organism built up and for the people, it acts simply as a means to organize those people and to process their needs. In my eyes, states serve the purpose of serving the people with quick efficiency. Hence the division of labor into a smaller bureaucracy instead of a truly direct democracy as endorsed by anarchists for example. The state that comes about to serve the people should act according to the needs of the people they intend to serve and the state should be able to morph, expand, or retract when needed instead of being a static being of complete rule and little change.'"Under these principles Xeroise rebuilt the nation after the disastrous Kunir War in which the U.S.S.E lost most of it's inhabited cities and population. When President Xeroise came into power, the nation began to rebuild rapidly, recovering it's losses through central planning and the hard work of the people.

Solokov Presidency
With the golden age nearly in full swing, President Solokov continued to carry the torch passed off by Xeroise. He implemented sweeping reforms to the government, centralizing the power to the presidency. This temporary measure was to assure that the government would act efficiently and without delay. Under Solokov, a national highway was constructed that spanned the entire nation from Vostroya to Kazkaya, to Laria, and everywhere in-between. Kazkaya began to boom as well, going from a valley on the coast of the U.S.S.E, to a major metropolis. Solokov had the commissioners act directly instead of taking instruction. This assured the possibility for rapid changes. Thanks to Solokov's central planning efforts, the U.S.S.E borders returned to their pre Kunir War locations, and the population exploded.

Chelovek Presidency
Though Chelovek had immense respect for Solokov, and enjoyed working in his cabinet. When the time came to pick the next president, Chelovek ran in his stead. The Solokovian central planning worked in the favor of the people. However Chelovek believed that the time had come for the government to represent the people as Xeroise originally intended. There was massive growth already, and the only thing missing was the people participating in the government. Chelovek was elected president with over 62.7% of he popular vote. Touting the successes of Xeroism in bringing the nation to a golden era of stability and growth. Within his first week, President Chelovek held elections to re-establish the National Assembly, increasing the representation in the government and giving up the power that once solely belonged to the president. He also published a constitution based on this ideology, giving the people the power to recall their government at any time. Chelovek touted this as a true dictatorship of the proletariat, his interpretation of the idelogy of Xeroism with the universal contributions of Solokov.

Chelovek thought is most simply explained by these four points:


 * Centralization of the economy
 * Planning in 5 year intervals
 * Democratic Centralism
 * Vanguardism through the CPUSSE
