Alternate Ideologies
This is a thread for Alternate Ideologies (preferably those that appeared in the mid 1800s-early 1900s, so modern/industrial ones).

OTL there were 3 general directions for new ideologies:

- could be totalitarian
- Expansionist
- Socialist - for the working class
- Anarchist - against the government
