LIBERAL PROGRESSIVE EQUALISM
The most important information regarding the Liberal Progressive Equalist doctrine can be found in "The Little Pink Book; A Guide to Equal Society" by Daniel Khassai Siyoum.
Liberal Progressive Equalism is the official political doctrine of the Democratic State of Free Thouthen. It's main percepts are contained in "The Little Pink Book; A Guide to Equal Society". While the official propaganda of the Thouthenian Democratic Party states that the book was written by The Great Equalizer, Daniel Khassai Siyoum himself, the truth is that most likely author of this book was Sigsmund Baumann, Professor of Sociology of University of Augustholm and well known former KGB agent. Released in 2005, "The Little Pink Book; A Guide to Equal Society" became the mainstay of the political life of Thouthen, with all the citizens being ordered to study it for at least two hours a week. Free copies have been distributed by various NGOs all across the world.
The first and most important element of Liberal Progressive Equalism is the Gaia Hypothesis, which Daniel Khassai Siyoum had elevated to the status of a "scientific truth proven and commonly accepted by 90% of scientists". According to this theory, organisms on Earth form a complex system which acts as a computer self regulating all life on Earth. Siyoum went even further that the ancient mother goddess found in many religions is nothing else but how primitive man imagined working of such a computer. As such, religions that worship nature - in "The Little Pink Book" called "Gaia" and understood as the ruling imperative of that computer - are to be the only ones permitted.
The second principle of Liberal Progressive Equalism is the idea of Apollonian and Diyonisyan, albeit it's meaning is re identified by Siyoum. To him, "Apollonian" represents the forces working against the will of Gaia (the planetary computer imperative) and focused on self repression - the "patriarchal, toxic masculine personality". "Diyonisian" represents the personality freed from restraints, open to act on the basest impulses.
The third principle of Liberal Progressive Equalism is the racial and political determinism. According to postmodern theory, various races have different vulnerability to the "Apollonian impulses", with the white race being the most vulnerable one, with the black race being the least vulnerable, with yellow race being in the middle. Despite the fact that Siyoum sees the black race as being the least vulnerable to "Apollonian impulses" (and therefore being the one that is most oppressed in the current system of the white patriarchy), he still believes that black people can fall to the "Apollonian impulses" and become enforcers of the white patriarchy.
Fourth, and most important principle of the Liberal Progressive qualism is it's view of history. Liberal Progressive Equalism sees the struggle for ownership of culture as the primary motivating factor. The struggle happens between the forces representing the Apollonian and Diyonisyan impulses. Each class results in synthesis of those forces, which leads to new one. That way, a perfect, fully equal society will arise. The defeat of the "evil patriarchal forces representing our apollonian impulses" is guaranteed, and following the final battle, an era of universal peace, prosperity and equality will arise.
In LPE view of history, as soon as humanity evolved sentient enough to become sentient, they became able to understand the impulses generated by Gaia (the Planetary computer network). The early civlisations, idolized by the equalist propaganda, was - according to Daniel Khassai Siyoum - manifested in ancient Egypt, inhabitants of which were, as Equalists believe, black. The people there were all equal under the benevolent rule of pharaohs, sexuality was not repressed, and women held important functions as priestesses of Gaia. This changed when leader of a white tribe that camped in Egypt - Moses - realized that by repressing human impulses, he can enforce obedience to his own authority. To sanctify the repressive rules, Equalists believe, he invented the figure of a father God who gave them to humanity. His students led the tribe out of Egypt and invaded the Caanan, enslaving and destroying the people there, instating the first patriarchal regime. Their descendants taught the other people - namely the Greeks - their ideas and thus the patriarchy arose.
Patriarchy is, for Siyoum, the system that the white men have created to cement their power. It is characterized by dominance of the "Apollonian" instincts, and repression of minority groups. Because the white men lacker other groups to repress, their first target were their own women - and thus the gender roles were created. The women where however not enough, so sexual minorities became the next target. Later, as history progressed and patriarchy gradually spread it's influence across the globe in XIX century, becoming the dominant force in the world politics, the white men gained new groups to oppress, thus reducing the pressure put on their own women. The modern day patriarchy is seen as an invisible structure, which favors certain countries and oppresses the other. The final, most brutal form of the patriarchy is fascism. The defining trait of fascism is that it seeks to oppress more than just man, but Gaia itself.
Adherents to LPE view the modern day as the moment where humanity is experiencing a point where it has to make a decision. On one hand, fascism is - according to Equalists - everywhere, restoring itself to it's status before the Second World War. On the other hand, the past experiences with fascism have awakened the minorities to their true status and weakened the patriarchy enough that revolution became possible.
The revolution, however, requires a leader. Equalism distrusts the western democracy, seeing it as a product of the white man's patriarchy created by white men to benefit themselves. Instead a new, more progressive model of guided democracy inspired by ideas of Simon Bolivar. Siyoum acknowledges that democracy easily falls to "Apolonian impulses" and is inherently forced to tolerate the forces of fascism due to the fact that humans have, due to years of patriarchal conditioning, varying skills, intelligence levels, education, etc.
The answer is that the minority revolution is to be led by a new kind of overman - the Supreme Equalizer. The supreme Equalizer is a person who had wholly defeated all patriarchal, Apollonic impulses and became a being capable of understanding the directives of the planetary computer (Gaia). Because such men are few, they should be the one setting the model for the rest of the political world.
In the first stage of the minority revolution, the Great Equalizer will organize a group of "Progressive Vanguards", who will help guide the humanity - now still immature and only waking up from it's dream. Those progresive vanguards will prepare the structures of Equalist parties, organize first protests against the patriarchy, etc. etc.
The second stage of the revolution is when the LPE party takes power, and the true role of the Supreme Equalier begins. Here, The Supreme Equalizer has two tasks - his first task is to make the institution that will make everyone equal and redistribute wealth and status, and second ensure it's proper functioning. Because of varying abilities of humans, there needs to be an organ that will make them all equal - only that way equality can be achieved. On this stage, vast majority of humanity is still considered merely children, easily subject to Apollonian impulses, and thus requiring guidance of the benelovent social government led by the Great Equalizer.
The final third stage is when humanity matures. The Great Equalizer is at this point no longer needed as he becomes only "one drop in the sea of overmen who can understand Gaia's directives". At this point, everyone will be equal, wars will case, and humanity through Green Technology Transhumanism will have a chance to become gods themselves.
The utopia, however, will not arise without human action. Because the apollonian forces of Patriarchy will always resist the progressive march, the Equalist states will have to go through a period of bloody warfare. This period will ineventably end in victory of the "Progressive, Dionisiyan forces". Because the Progressive Equalism is a perfect ideology, all those who oppose it serve the patriarchy, and thus, must be done away with.
