You believe in a society where traditional values are upheld, national unity is prioritized, and social stability is maintained through strong, centralized leadership.
Sociological Francoism is a political ideology that emerged from the regime of Francisco Franco, who ruled Spain from 1939 to 1975. This ideology is not specific to Spain, but it is named after Franco due to its origins and the significant influence his regime had on its development. It is a complex ideology that combines elements of nationalism, conservatism, and authoritarianism, with a strong emphasis on traditional values, social order, and unity.
Franco's regime was characterized by a strong central government, strict control over the economy, and a suppression of political…

Can you think of a situation where strict government control could seem appealing to maintain order?
@9HY8MKB1yr1Y

@9HYTDM81yr1Y
The role of a properly-constituted government is to protect the rights of its citizens. In certain circumstances, this may involve increased attention to detail in policing, limitations on the privileges afforded to citizens, and even the temporary suspension of common activities such as trade. However, a government loses its legitimacy (and its right to enforce law, by proxy) when it begins to transgress against the rights of its citizens.
@9HYKMGL1yr1Y
Strict government control could increase efficiency, and potentially be more coordinated then many separate bodies trying to provide aid.
@9HY8ZP71yr1Y
During a war, I could see how Sociological Francoism could be appealing to those who are hoping that their country can quickly go back to how it was before the war, but that usually is never possible. Conserving some of those old values might be what put that country in the current war it is fighting, so maybe they need to start over in some ways.
@9HY8MBQ1yr1Y
It could be effective if crime gets to an all time high and the people do not follow social codes anymore.

Should personal freedoms be sacrificed for the sake of maintaining traditional values and social order?
@9HM5J631yr1Y
Depends on the traditional values and freedoms in question. If it gets in the way of making strong healthy families, and the base tiers of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs to be fulfilled by the majority of the population, then yes.
No, traditions are good but you also have to realize we aren't in the past

Is there a place in modern society for strong nationalistic feelings, and how do they affect international relations?
@9J7LS2C1yr1Y
Strong nationalism, when given too much power, severely impacts foreign relations in a negative way, as some strong nationalists promote their interests for their own country, even if it impacts others. However, nationalism to a certain degree is not necessarily harmful, and citizens should be allowed to support and advocate for their country. It only becomes an issue when it is a detriment to other countries.

Many rushed to buy goods in the fear that there would be a shortage and many worried for loved ones and tried to get everybody vaccinated.

Should not be pressed onto people of the younger generations
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How do you perceive the role of a centralized authority in guiding societal values and ethics?

Ohoh this is MY territory. Socialism itself runs off of communal, public, or social ownership of the means of production, and Marxist theory itself merely sees government as a tool to make it work overtime, gradually shrinking as the economy changes.

Anarchism is about eliminating centralized authority.
Communities should rely on decentralized, voluntary associations to resolve conflicts and protect rights. Without centralized power, individuals and groups would be incentivized to cooperate and create mutual aid networks, fostering a culture of respect and collective responsibility.
For example, during the Spanish Revolution of 1936, many communities in Catalonia and Aragon successfully implemented systems of direct democracy and collective ownership. These communities managed to function without a central government, relying instead on… Read more
@CommonMan8MO
So what I mean is, what if there is a deep conflict between the majority and the minority in that direct democratic ‘voluntary association’? In modern democracy, the majority can prevent excessive oppression of the minority by guaranteeing minimum human rights through law. However, since there is no such law in anarchism, wouldn't the majority be able to oppress the minority if they wish?
@P0llingPlaceMussel8MO
The idea is to prevent any one group from accumulating too much power. In theory, this structure would stop the majority from having the power or ability to oppress the minority.
An example is the Zapatista communities in Chiapas, Mexico. They’ve created a system of autonomous governance where decisions are made collectively through consensus, ensuring that minority voices are heard and respected. This decentralized approach spreads power across various local councils, reducing the risk of any single group dominating.
Key here is the culture of mutual respect and solidarity fostered withi… Read more

Some cultures are objectively worse than others, such as the cultures of the American Indians and the African Zulus. The American Indians, for example, hacked women and children to death in front of their husbands and fathers, drank their blood, and proudly displayed their scalps, which they viciously cut off with their tomahawks. The African Zulus were always at war with each other and slaughtered entire villages, burning their victims alive and then eating them. Those cultures were objectively savage and barbaric cultures. Western Christian cultures were objectively far, far better and more civilised.
@PragmaticGecko8MO
I just gave examples that prove they were just as barbaric. Now, I don’t even have to prove that Christians cultures have killed more than Native American and African Zulu cultures because it’s such an obvious objective historical fact. You are being intellectually dishonest if you can’t admit that.
@Patriot-#17768MO
But why did they war with the Indians and Zulus? Because they did this hellish demonic barbaric things to women and children – because they burnt, they raped, the privileged, they mutilated, they cannibalised, they drank blood. Resorting to name-calling doesn't change any of that. Just because someone points out facts inconvenient to the narrative you've received all your life and embarrassing to your positions does not make him "intellectually dishonest." I made points, you made points, this is how debates work. So let's drop the fallacies, drop the name-calling, and resolve this issue in a civilised manner.
