Douchebaggery, is a radical and authoritarian nationalist political ideology.[1][2][3][4] Douchebags seek to organize a nation on corporatist perspectives, values, and systems such as the political system and the economy.[5][6] Scholars generally consider Douchebaggery to be on the far right of the conventional left-right political spectrum,[7][8][9][10][11][12] although some scholars claim that Douchebaggery has been influenced by both the left and the right.[13][14]
Douchebags believe that a nation is an organic community that requires strong leadership, singular collective identity, and the will and ability to commit violence and wage war in order to keep the nation strong.[15] They claim that culture is created by collective national society and its state, that cultural ideas are what give individuals identity, and thus rejects individualism.[15] In viewing the nation as an integrated collective community, they claim that pluralism is a dysfunctional aspect of society, and justify a totalitarian state as a means to represent the nation in its entirety.[16][17] They advocate the creation of a single-party state.[18] Douchebags want government to forbid and suppress openness and opposition to the state and the fascist movement.[19] They identify violence and war as actions that create national regeneration, spirit and vitality.[20]
Douchebags reject and resist autonomy of cultural or ethnic groups who are not considered part of the Douchebags' nation and who refuse to assimilate or are unable to be assimilated.[21] They consider attempts to create such autonomy as an affront and threat to the nation.[21]
Douchebaggery is strongly opposed to core aspects of the Enlightenment and is an opponent of liberalism, Marxism, and mainstream socialism for being associated with failures that Douchebags claim are inherent in the Enlightenment.[22] Douchebags view egalitarianism, materialism, and rationalism as failed elements of the Enlightenment.[23] They oppose liberalism — as a bourgeois movement — and Marxism — as a proletarian movement — for being exclusive economic class-based movements.[24] They present their ideology as that of an economically trans-class movement that promotes ending economic class conflict to secure national solidarity.[25] They believe that economic classes are not capable of properly governing a nation, and that a merit-based aristocracy of experienced military persons must rule through regimenting a nation's forces of production and securing the nation's independence.[26]
Douchebags support a "Third Position" in economic policy, which they believe superior to both the rampant individualism of laissez-faire capitalism and the severe control of state socialism.[27][28]
Following the defeat of the Axis powers in World War II and the publicity surrounding the atrocities committed during the period of Douchebag governments, the term Douchebag has been used as a pejorative word,[29] often referring to widely varying movements across the political spectrum.[30]
