Constantism

Constantism is the political component to the philosophy of craniomodernity, developed by the Siliksiyan-Yavatiak theorist, Lana Ura. It is a central tenet to many communist parties across Velizka, and also some parties of nationalist politics in a few isolated cases. The ideology is notably interwoven with the territory of Yavatia, which often is supported and provided for in population by constantist movements elsewhere in the world. All constantist parties in Rivesteka are member parties of CHLCO Global, a political international for constantist parties, which also is responsible in part for the governance and establishment of Yavatiats and, in part, the international Yavatiat (Yavatia). While in Yavatia and in academia the philosophy is more commonly articulated as craniomodernity, the name constantism is far more common in the political spheres of most other nations.

Brief History
See also Conceptual Yavatia

Constantism is centred around the work of Lana Ura, more specifically, her most famous book, The Yavatia Principle (1870). The book outlined a critique of opposing socialist and trade unionist movements at the time, and expressed doubt as to the extent of the benefits of modernisation, which those previous movements tended to focus on. Instead, Lana wanted to focus on conditioning the subconscious as a means of enabling a better society (i.e. communism).

Lana and two of her earliest followers started "The Lovers of Yavatia" the following year, a humanitarian charity based along the principles of her book, and mostly taking orphans under the organisation's wing. By 1890, the organisation had become more political, forming Yavatiats across the world and also promoting more political causes, such as Cutali liberation or unionism for miners. From this organisation emerged CHLCO, which remains in place to this very day.

In the early 1900s, the constantist movement began to establish the international Yavatiat, as a suitable location to carry out the conditioning prescribed in The Yavatia Principle. However, subsidiary Yavatiats in other countries do exist as an extension to the constantist movement, either in a bid to directly constantise the nation in question, or to feed citizens into Yavatia.

Principles
Constantism is a far-left to hyper-left philosophy, as it strives towards a society it calls "communism", in other words, a society with direct democracy (or, in most cases, liquid democracy), equality of opportunity and possibility, and total collective property. It also strives to allow the citizens within said communist system to be able to engage in abstract thinking, intellectualism, and cultural pursuits, by freeing them from having to worry about material precarity. Communist society is without any grand hierarchy, be it a monetary hierarchy or a hierarchy of political power, and it stresses interdependence and prosperous coexistence of all peoples together. For most constantists, communism is the end goal, but it is also treated as a means by certain fringes of the movement with other agendas.

The way constantism goes about actualising this process if through a process called "constantisation". This means that it heavily stresses the importance of the human subconscious as to what makes communism compatible or incompatible with any certain population. In order to make sure that the people entering this society won't destroy it with their hierarchical and individualistic instincts, constantists demand a rigorous process of socialisation for anyone seeking to reside in any particular communist community, which is often referred to as a Yavatiat. One example of this process of constantisation is explained in the citizenship categories of Yavatia.

Most constantists want to gradually transition the world into communism by graually passing everyone through an ever-growing "international Yavatiat" - currently this international Yavatiat only encompasses the territory of Yavatia, which is the only fully constantised nation in the entirety of Rivesteka so far. However, there are also some constantists who want to constantise their population on a national level, either for tactical or cultural reasons. Alongside Yavatia, Zenvoit is also developing its own (theoretically) international Yavatiat, and Cutal is undergoing an on-again, off-again constantisation campaign depending on the leadership of its non-constantised areas. A very small amount of constantists identify with the far-right and wish to use communism as a means of developing their culture, before reverting to their previous economic state and dominating the rest of the world (at least in theory). They are the exception, not the rule.

Constantists, in particular those in favour of national-level constantisation, often run in election through political parties, in most countries. They also sometimes set up subsidiary Yavatiats to feed people into Yavatia and showcase Yavatia's success and prosperity. This is why a lot of constantist organisations also care a lot about the media, raising Yavatia's profile, and facilitating trips and tours to Yavatia, so as to promote constantism by showing off its successes.
