Top 10 Worst Political Ideologies
There have been many bad ideas. But which one was the worst?
Please comment. I want to know why.
-
National Socialism (Nazism)
Nazism, or National Socialism, is a totalitarian ideology that was practiced in Germany from 1933 to 1945, advocating for racial purity and expansionism.
As much as I disagree with Communism, this ideology is responsible for probably the most destructive war in history. It incorporates racism and genocide and was responsible for the horrible event that the Holocaust was.
I know the idea of Communism just doesn't work out in general, but it at least tries to strive for democracy and doesn't have horrible intentions like Nazism.
Worst idea ever! Should be number 1. Communism was meant to bring equality, and Stalin wasn't even a real communist.
Even under Stalin, the killing would have eventually stopped, but under Nazism, the genocide would have continued for ages because it would have taken forever to kill every single Jew, Slav, Communist, Gypsy, Homosexual, and others.

Communism
Communism is a socio-economic system that advocates for the collective ownership of property and the means of production.
Communism is the deadliest ideology known to mankind. The ANC and the South African Communist Party should be designated as terrorists.
The most evil and dumbest ideology in existence. I'm sorry, but this ideology is not about sharing at all. It's about suffering, laziness, greed, and hunger. People who accomplish big things in communism are left out in the dust just like all the other citizens in the coop, which is pretty much unfair.
Did you know that communism supports global warming and has killed more than any other ideology has killed on earth? Yeah. The fact that people are writing positive comments about this horridness makes me sick to be a human being. This should have never been created and should have never been continued when it failed to work in the first place.
-
Fascism
Fascism is a political ideology that centralizes power in a dictatorial leader, regiments all industry and commerce under the state, and emphasizes aggressive nationalism.
Fascism is the reason for one of the deadliest war fronts in Africa to ever exist, a civil war, and even partly responsible for one of the biggest wars in history.
This is when people reject capitalism but backwards. They lament the end of the world they knew, the world where loyalty to God, country, and family (read, theocracy, racism, and patriarchy) were standard and thus try to revive feudal values, reconciled with industrial productive forces and capitalistic modes of production. It is a nationalist socialism, while Communism is internationalist socialism.
-
Neo-Nazism
Neo-Nazism is a post-World War II movement that seeks to revive and implement the ideology of Nazism.
Nazism is based on purges, murder, totalitarianism, and the biggest war in history. I don't see the point of supporting this, and I would never do so myself.
I do not understand why anyone finds this desirable. The two core ideas of Nazism are racism and totalitarianism. Anybody deemed undesirable will find their only hope in defecting, and the others better watch their mouth. Economics don't matter if a slip of the tongue becomes a heart attack, and especially not if the authorities put your life at stake for the way you were born.
-
Anarcho-Primitivism
Anarcho-Primitivism is a political ideology that advocates for a return to non-civilized ways of life through deindustrialization, abolition of division of labor, and abandonment of large-scale organizational technologies.
Our planet could only sustain 300 million people on a hunter-gatherer lifestyle. If this ideology was successfully implemented, 8 billion people would die. Not even Nazism would be so devastating.
This should genuinely be in the top 3. It's an ideology centered around stripping away modern technology, medicine, and science, and going back to the Stone Age. Can you imagine how much death and suffering this would cause? Not just from people dying of diseases or wounds that would be simple in our current timeline but from the amount of lawlessness.
-
Anarchism
Anarchism is a political philosophy that opposes all forms of hierarchical control and advocates for voluntary cooperation among individuals.
If we abolished leaders, nobody would enforce things like the police and that. That would mean everybody could do whatever they desire.
The most pointless ideology to have. Human nature means that we are conditioned to be led, and those leaders don't necessarily have to be the government. It can be parents or role models, for example. As such, if we overthrow the system, we will inevitably develop a new one consisting of leaders and such that will render anarchism pointless. It's all pointless.
-
Islamism
Islamism is a political ideology that seeks to implement Islamic law and values in political systems.
Basing an ideology on a religion is already stupid, but doing crimes to others of other religions, especially grateful tourists, is stupid and should be considered a war crime.
Islamism is the worst form of fascism. Fascism simply proposes the stifling of one's opponents' views, whether this be by imprisonment or deportation. The method is inconsequential to the bare foundations of the ideology. On the other hand, Islamism explicitly prescribes to its adherents the necessity of exacting the murder of its adversaries.
Indeed, the adherents of such a principle have killed millions. Thus, Islam carries the title of the most murders according to the principles of the religion. The Islamic conquests of India, for instance, served to claim the lives of in excess of 30 million people. This indubitably renders the argument that Christianity has killed more individuals as mere incompetence.
Whilst it is perhaps the case that supposed adherents of the Christian faith may have committed more murders than Muslims, this is to be expected given that it has always comprised more followers. The numbers of murders committed both for and in accordance to Islamic doctrine vastly outweigh the numbers committed according to alternative religious doctrines.

Anarcho-Communism
Anarcho-Communism combines anarchism and communism, advocating for the abolition of the state, capitalism, wages, and private property.
The most contradictory style of government. While democracy might work with communism, anarchy will cause any nation to collapse indefinitely. If you want anarchy, don't worry about the other part, since you will only have anarchy.
Let me get this straight. The government should steal property and redistribute it, without existing?
It is an oxymoron and you will starve because everybody is eating each other's food anyway.
-
National Bolshevism
National Bolshevism is a political movement that combines elements of radical nationalism and Bolshevism.
This is an unholy thing that combines two opposing ideologies that are the opposite of each other. And both of them are bad.
Nazi ideology is bad, but combine it with Bolshevism, and it falls way back...
This is the combination of the worst things ever. It should be number 1.
-
Stalinism
Stalinism refers to the governance and policies of Joseph Stalin, including rapid industrialization, totalitarianism, and extensive political purges.
Stalinism and fascism are one and the same. Stalin claimed to be a communist, but he was not. Communism is when all people are equal. Stalinism had one absolute ruler. Stalinism and fascism both wanted the wipeout of all other ethnicities and the annihilation of free will. They were the purest level. I am a classical liberal.
Don't get me wrong, Stalin was not a communist. He chose to kill people to pretend that communism is bad. This person was the reason communism is perceived as bad. He made Stalinism for the Soviet Union look bad by killing many people.

Authoritarianism
Authoritarianism is a form of government characterized by strong central power and limited political freedoms.
This is the ideology of tyrants. I don't need to say anything else.
This is what you get when you dont have a plan.

Objectivism

Conservatism
Conservatism is a political ideology that values traditional institutions and practices, advocating for minimal change in society.
You have folks arguing that conservatism emphasizes civil liberties, and history (and the present, just look at Hungary) has shown it to be quite the opposite. At the core of conservatism are "traditional values," a good portion of which are not libertarian and even call for further control of society.
Why would anyone be a conservative? They are greedy, rich people who just want more money for themselves. They don't believe that people should have healthcare or a good environment and support invading whatever country they like.
-
Anarcho-Capitalism
Anarcho-Capitalism is a political philosophy that advocates for the elimination of the state in favor of individual sovereignty in a free market.
They claim to hate corporatism, yet somehow advocate for a system that is easy for corporations to exploit. They go on about their NAP, but will the NAP save you from a collective mob of thugs who were paid to ignore it by somebody who can afford it?
Also, it's a very contradictory ideal that even Libertarians find extreme.
The big problem with this ideology is that even if realized, it would implode on itself as it has no leviathan to keep the exploited peoples in order. Unless it has one secretly, but that is just self-defeating except to manipulate people into submission. Remember, the corporate oligarchy is a political party and "ancapistan" is just another single party state.
-
Juche
Juche is a political ideology that originated in North Korea and emphasizes self-reliance, independence, and national sovereignty.
The official ideology of North Korea. It's basically Stalinist Communism with elements of ultranationalism and isolationism. It could also be called "Monarcho-Communism" since the rule is hereditary.
This is similar to National Bolshevism with Korean characteristics. It combines elements of Stalinist Communism and Fascism.
Almost nothing different from absolute monarchy.
-
Zionism
Zionism is a nationalist movement that supports the establishment of a Jewish homeland in the territory defined as the historic Land of Israel.
It should never exist, especially Zionists finding every excuse to expel the Arab Palestinians in exchange for building their "Jewish" state there.
The history of Zionism is nothing but oppression and tyranny.
The Palestinian people are asking to not have their ancestral homes and lands taken from them.
Racist towards who can be Jewish or not.
-
Corporatism
Corporatism is a political ideology that organizes society by major interest groups, or corporate groups, such as agricultural, business, ethnic, labor, military, patronage, or scientific affiliations, on the basis of common interests.
Corporatism should be higher. It is pretty much a more extreme and oligarchic form of capitalism. Corporatism is what happens if you remove all regulations, and it is what happens when the government decides to support big businesses. It is basically where big businesses control most of the economy and can even control the country by getting support from the government. Under such a system, workers would be highly exploited and have no rights, small businesses would not have any way to get success and would have to close early, and the middle class would most likely not exist.
So, while Capitalism as a whole can be flawed, at least regulated capitalism is good because it allows for innovation and an entrepreneurial spirit while also having workers' rights. Corporatism is where big businesses are the only ones that succeed. I think a mixed economy is best. - DarkBoi-X

Posadism
Posadism is a Trotskyist ideology that believes in the power of nuclear war to destroy capitalist societies and trigger socialist revolution.
-
Feminism
Feminism is a socio-political movement that advocates for gender equality and women's rights.
I think you mean "Feminazism," which is the type of "feminism" prevalent today. Comparing the feminism of the 20th century with the whining, unstable, neckbeard patriarchy-obsessed idiocy that infests websites like Tumblr today is insulting.
This is a crappy ideology, and I hate it. It's just made by a bunch of idiots that are sexist, and it shouldn't be taken seriously. Unless it actually becomes a major ideology, then humanity is doomed.
I have created a new ideology. All people who support an ideology should live together in a country totally run by them. Then the fun begins. In capitalism, the top 1% of the population will live together and will have no laborers to exploit, so they'll have no source of income. Communists will stay in peace forever. Feminists will have a place full of women.
-
Maoism
Maoism, or Mao Zedong Thought, is a variant of Marxism-Leninism that emphasizes peasantry, small-scale industry, and agricultural collectivization.
Maoism is, by far, the worst ideology known to man. Mao made people make steel in their backyards while working collectively in the fields, and when that didn't work, he killed millions of those who protested. China would've surpassed the USA in terms of economic, diplomatic, and democratic power by now if it weren't for Mao.
Mao? He still is our famous Chinese guy and he too is one of the reasons communism looks evil. Stalin and Mao are the reasons why communism looks like a dirty evil ideology.
Sure, I'm from China, but let's just agree that Mao wasn't a good person. At least, he was an important part of China's history.
-
Fundamentalism
Fundamentalism typically refers to a belief in the strict and literal interpretation of religious texts.
Same as conservatism. As I said, you cannot run the same system for an unlimited time. That's why ages exist.
-
Anarcho-Posadism
Anarcho-Posadism is a variation of Posadism that combines anarchism, which supports the abolition of hierarchical structures, with the Posadist belief in extraterrestrial life.
-
Cultural Marxism
The term Cultural Marxism is widely used today to describe a modern conspiracy theory that falsely claims Marxist thinkers coordinated an effort to undermine Western society through cultural institutions. In reality, the Frankfurt School and other Marxist cultural theorists studied how mass media, ideology, and social norms interact with economic systems. Their work focused on analyzing culture, not orchestrating political subversion, and has since become a significant part of critical social theory.
Should be number 1.
This is not only the worst ideology ever, but it's even the basis for some other ideologies on this list. Cultural Marxism destroys civilizations by letting women be complete degenerates, importing incompatible cultures, tolerating obvious mental disorders, supporting socialist policies, and using political correctness to silence opinions. It is the ideology which modern leftism is pretty much built on.
-
Anarcho-Syndicalism
Anarcho-Syndicalism is a theory of anarchism that views labor syndicates as the potential force for revolutionary social change, replacing capitalism and the state with a new society that is democratically self-managed by workers.
Just plain trash. Mostly the anarchist part.
Not that bad, but I don't know if this will work because while it has, it only lasted for a few years. -DarkBoi-X
-
English Socialism
English Socialism, or "Ingsoc," is a fictional political ideology in George Orwell's dystopian novel "1984," characterized by totalitarian control of society by the Party.
A bad derivative of socialism, as well as the perfect recipe for a civil uprising.
-
Monarchism
Monarchism is a political ideology that supports the vesting of sovereignty in an individual as head of state, or monarch, for life or until abdication.
A Swedish queen quit and became a nun. Many royals don't care about politics at all. Sometimes royalty is incompetent or has a disorder. You can address that with a constitutional monarchy, but it is really inefficient.
There are good kings, but the level of corruption in royalty is just... next level, I guess.
There is a lack of modern-day examples, but in France, it was a total failure.
-
Marxism
Marxism is a socio-economic theory that analyzes class relations and societal conflict using a materialist interpretation of historical development.
