While socialism, liberalism, conservatism, and nationalism are considered the main ideological groups in Castadilla, they may not necessarily correlate to the main ideological groups that exist in other countries. In Castadilla, all of the main parties within each main ideological group adhere to a theological standpoint due to the historical influence that the Catholic Church has had on society. For example, liberalism encompasses both classical liberalism and social liberalism (known as radicalism in Castadilla), but in most other countries liberalism is typically used to refer to classical liberalism and neoliberalism which typically advocate for the natural rights to life, liberty, and property; radicalism, on the other hand, is seen as an ideology that is distinct from liberalism rather than a part of liberalism. | |||
Historically, the modern ideological groups of Castadilla trace their origins in Delepasianism, which has criticised the monarchism and aristocracy that were associated with most Occidental realms for centuries. Indeed, the opposition to traditional Occidental ideologies is largely born from a rejection of the colonial status quo in favour of a more meritocratic post-colonial political system complete with a meritocratic free market economy; this also meant that a new national identity that was distinct from the national identity of the former colonial masters was needed to be created. As a "cradle of socialism" and one of the first localities in which socialist groups had adopted the theories of Marxism, Castadillaan socialism has often been referred to as "classical Marxism" in reference to its long-held ideal of "revolution by the ballot" that has largely dissipated in non-Pelaxian forms of socialism around the world when the [[Kiravian Union]] and the [[Ardmore|Ardmori Cooperative Republic]] had come as a result of an armed revolution; Delepasianism too found its place in Castadillaan socialism, though as a multicultural and inclusive form of civic nationalism unlike the classical nationalism found in early Delepasianism and the ultranationalism found in Delepasian exceptionalism. | |||
Castadillaan politics have also revolved around a sense of ideological fusions, often fusions that transcend a particular political party. For example, the Christian National Party encompasses three ideological groups: Conservatism, of which the party's main ideology of Christian democracy is a core of; liberalism, through the left-most faction of the party which adheres to {{wp|liberal conservatism}}; and nationalism, through the right-most faction of the party which adheres to the Christian right. Likewise, the entirety of the Democratic Reform Party is a fusion of conservatism and nationalism with the two factions of the party emphasising one ideological group over the other. Lastly, the People's Democratic Party encompasses not just socialism, but also liberalism, and nationalism; the party is a vanguard socialist party that supports cultural liberalism and multiculturalism as well as civic nationalism. | |||
