'''Non-Interventionism''' is a variant of Isolationism that supports a foreign policy that doesn't interfere in the domestic politics and affairs of other countries, mostly for anti-war and anti-imperialist reasons. But rejects total cultural isolation and can support free trade and/or peaceful internationalism.

Isolationism is a usually nationalist, non-quadrant ideology, which believes that its nation's interests are the most important, and it wants to keep the affairs of other countries at a distance.

The term "Isolationism" can be interpreted more broadly as a foreign policy of military and political non-interference in international affairs and in the internal affairs of sovereign states, coupled with Economic Nationalism and cultural isolation, as well as with the impossibility of being in permanent military alliances , while maintaining the possibility of participation in temporary military alliances that meet the current interests of the state and in permanent international organizations of a non-military nature.

Variants

Moderate Isolationism

Moderate Isolationism is a version of isolationism that avoids being involved in most regional alliances, but isn't opposed to international co-operation or involving itself in international organizations.

Total Isolationism

Total Isolationism is a version of isolationism that completely avoids any interaction with the outside world in any context, and is opposed to joining any regional alliance or involving itself in intergovernmental organizations.

Non-Interventionism

Non-Interventionism is a variant of Isolationism which specifically opposes interference in the domestic political affairs of other countries, mostly on principle of opposing imperialism and/or war. However, it rejects complete isolation and may be in support of free trade and/or a peaceful form of international diplomacy. In this, they differ from the tendency of most isolationists, who often advocate for monoculturalism and a strong military programme.

  • Burmese Socialism - That's going a bit too far, you don't need to seal yourself entirely off from the world.
  • Trumpism - You kept screaming "America First!", yet ended up turning your back on me for him.
  • Marxism–Leninism - You talked about Socialism in one country, but then ruined it by invading Poland.
  • Pol Potism - You said that you will isolate yourself from the world, and then you invaded Vietnam.
  • Chinese Theocracy - Sometimes a based Isolationist, at other times a cringe Imperialist Globalist.
  • Autarchy - I wanted the isolation of our nation from the rest of the world, not the isolation of every individual from each other.

Enemies

  • Globalism - Economic globalization is an awful idea and it won't work.
  • Imperialism - We shouldn't conquer nor invade other nations!
  • Jingoism & Irredentism - Fine, I'll say it again: We shouldn't conquer nor invade other nations!!! (Even if some of their territory was once ours.)
  • Neoliberalism - The worst form of liberalism.
  • State Liberalism - This one is even worse than the guy above. No, I will not open up, and stop throwing rainbow rocks through my windows, you pink imperialist dick!
  • Fordism - Same with you.
  • Neoconservatism - The worst form of conservatism. Also, you're literally not conserving anything at all.
  • Neo-Libertarianism - The worst form of libertarianism. Also you're weird.
  • Trotskyism - The worst form of socialism. And btw you're basically just red neocon .
  • Castroism - You call yourself an "anti-imperialist" but then intervene militarily in other countries and finance rebel groups just to promote your "revolution"? Are you kidding me, man? You're pretty much just another red neocon.
  • Anationalism - The worst form of anarchism. Also, you’re just literally Anarcho-Imperialism anyway.
  • Nazism - Imperialist asshat who called Switzerland "a pimple on the face of Europe". If so, then your Reich, all your RKs and puppet states are cancer cells on the face of not only Europe but ALSO THE ENTIRE... WORLD!
  • Gaddafism - Hates Switzerland like him, funded foreign rebel groups like him, and later on worked with him. Truly the worst of various worlds.
