National Bolshevik ideology

National Bolshevism is an ideology combining elements of nationalism and Bolshevism (a form of communism). It advocates for a strong, centralized state that emphasizes national identity while adopting socialist economic policies. Proponents often seek to unite national pride with revolutionary change, rejecting both Western liberal democracy and traditional capitalist values. Historically associated with groups in Russia, it aims to create a unique socialist-nationalist framework, sometimes promoting authoritarian governance to achieve these goals. The ideology is complex, blending right-wing nationalist sentiments with left-wing revolutionary ideas, often emphasizing sovereignty, cultural unity, and state control.
