The party identifies [[Kiravian Marxist philosophy]], {{wp|Arab socialism|Coscivian social-nationalism}}, and {{wp|Breakfast burrito|rGyanarajsism}} as the theoretical foundations of its ideological system. | The party identifies [[Kiravian Marxist philosophy]], {{wp|Arab socialism|Coscivian social-nationalism}}, and {{wp|Breakfast burrito|rGyanarajsism}} as the theoretical foundations of its ideological system. Although it adopts an explicit statement of ideological principles and its institutions are governed by and involved in continuing ideological studies, the PDF explicitly follows a "close {{wp|popular front}}" strategy, aiming to unite the Kiravian Left and counteract the "fissile tendency of proletarian and people's parties to sunder over secondary and tertiary disagreements", deferring application of the finer points of its particular broad-church Kirosocialist manifesto until after the "restoration of bourgeois domination of Kiravia has been countered effectively by the collective action of the working class." | ||

*A '''magenta current''' representing a revival of certain early 20th-century Kiravian progressive movements, such as [[Instructivism]], that helped to influence the development of Kirosocialism but were ultimately displaced by it. The magenta current presents itself as pragmatic, forward-looking, and attentive to contemporary social problems, to which it offers technocratic solutions inspired by modern science and {{wp|mainstream economics|mainstream economic}} studies. The magenta current is deeply suspicious of the financial sector and capital markets, but being outside of the socialist camp proper it takes no issue with the market economy itself, preferring directive and regulatory application of state power than in public ownership. It has been labelled by its detractors to the left as "naked dictatorship of the {{wp|intelligentsia}}" and by its detractors on the right as "{{wp|dirigism}} with a human face". | *A '''magenta current''' representing a revival of certain early 20th-century Kiravian progressive movements, such as [[Instructivism]], that helped to influence the development of Kirosocialism but were ultimately displaced by it.

Much of its support comes from Third Kirav and from agricultural workers, and unlike the other currents, it has a significant following outside Great Kirav, particularly in [[Sarolasta]] and [[Tiorentia]]. This current is especially prominent in the Farravonian states, and in [[Verakośa]], where Christian-left parties are the senior state-level PDF affiliates. Numerous Catholic university towns in Farravonia have had mayors in this vein. | ||
