Blanquist Socialism

Auguste Blanqui's doctrine that a conspiratorial revolutionary minority should seize power and rule through a provisional dictatorship that expropriates the bourgeoisie, with militant atheism and distrust of elections and of spontaneous mass action.

I want an insurrectionary minority that storms Paris, imposes a provisional dictatorship against the bourgeoisie and the Church, and hands the wealth to the people.

The profile in detail

Government and accountability. Structure: 14% Federal, 86% Unitary (Strong Unitary); Representation: 23.3% Democracy, 76.7% Autocracy (Strong Autocracy). This combination separates where authority is located from how leaders are selected and constrained. It preserves those two choices even when a broad political label does not distinguish them. On Representation, the 877-profile catalog median is 57.5% Democracy; Blanquist Socialism sits 34.2 points below it. 156 reference profiles share this band.

Civil power and culture. Power: 69.5% Security, 30.5% Liberty (Leaning Security); Immigration: 52.1% Assimilation, 47.9% Multiculturalism (Balanced). The first contrast concerns limits on civil life; the second concerns cultural adaptation and plural identities. Reading them together avoids inferring an immigration position solely from a preference about security. On Power, the 877-profile catalog median is 58.8% Security; Blanquist Socialism sits 10.7 points above it. 175 reference profiles share this band.

Force and foreign policy. Diplomacy: 80.2% Militarist, 19.8% Pacifist (Strong Militarist); Intervention: 38.8% Non-interventionist, 61.2% Nationalist (Leaning Nationalist). Military capacity and projection of national interests are distinct choices in this model. These coordinates show how the profile combines military means and external objectives, without assuming that they always move together. On Intervention, the 877-profile catalog median is 48.8% Non-interventionist; Blanquist Socialism sits 10.0 points below it. 187 reference profiles share this band.

Ownership, coordination and trade. Economy: 92.5% Public, 7.5% Private (Very strong Public); Control: 86.5% Planning, 13.5% Free market (Strong Planning); Trade: 71.7% Protectionism, 28.3% Globalism (Leaning Protectionism). These ask three different questions: who owns, how activity is coordinated and how the economy engages abroad. The economic profile of Blanquist Socialism depends on that combination, rather than a single left or right classification. On Economy, the 877-profile catalog median is 53.2% Public; Blanquist Socialism sits 39.3 points above it. 83 reference profiles share this band.

Belief and social norms. Religion: 98.8% Irreligious, 1.2% Religious (Very strong Irreligious); Morality: 56.2% Progressive, 43.8% Traditionalist (Balanced). The model keeps religious influence separate from continuity in social norms. These values describe the reference profile; they do not assign a religion to someone who receives this match in the quiz. On Morality, the 877-profile catalog median is 38.8% Progressive; Blanquist Socialism sits 17.4 points above it. 107 reference profiles share this band.

Technology and limits. Technology: 80.8% Technology, 19.2% Biology (Strong Technology). This adds a perspective on innovation and biological continuity that cannot be inferred directly from the economic coordinates. For Blanquist Socialism, the 30.8-point distance from the center indicates the intensity of this particular position. On Technology, the 877-profile catalog median is 57.5% Technology; Blanquist Socialism sits 23.3 points above it. 132 reference profiles share this band.
