Casparism



Casparism is a social, political, economic, and military ideology centered around establishing a communist state, primarily through establishing a new social order based around common ownership of property and the means of production under a nationalist working class vanguard party. Casparism is born from the ideology of Wals Henric Caspar, a Mero-Curgov military officer and separatist who came into political power in the 1930s. Followers of the ideology are known as Casparists or Cockerels, after the rooster emblem of Caspar's paramilitary faction. As Caspar's theory largely moved through word of mouth and was only released in private diaries and essays after his death, there are multiple competing interpretations of modern Casparism.

The first and only Casparist state was established in Mero-Curgovina during the ultranationalist period before capitulating to Euricas Balthy's loyalist army in 1945. The initial goal of the Casparist state was the reunification of Curgovina under a to oppose the Govreca party's ultranationalist junta in Merandy. As such, Caspar and his administration considered themselves the legitimate government of Mero-Curgovina. Though referring to their state as the People's Republic of the Merands, Curgovs, and Artemsch, it is more commonly known under the contemporary name of the Casparist Free State.
