Folcalonism is the ideology of Pollere. He takes influence from people like 
Bill Kauffman, 
Calvin Coolidge, 
James A. Traficant Jr., and 
Thomas Jefferson, among others. He is somewhat 
anti-government in philosophy, but still recognizes the “futility of 
total state-abolition,” in his own words. He views the state as a means to an end, and is quite 
libertarian when it comes to civil liberties, but is moderately 
authoritarian when it comes to government structure and some aspects of social policy. He is also very 
traditionalist and religious, believing in 
Christianity. He supports a staunchly 
populist economic system based heavily on 
Distributism, 
Yellow Socialism, and 
Economic Nationalism.
Five Goals of Folcalonism
To limit the size of bureaucracies, especially at the federal level
To return society to a more organic and authentic way of life, strengthened by traditionally conservative and Christian values
To cast the chains of elitism and oligarchy off of the people
To preserve regional cultures and nations and save them from eradication by social engineering and foreign encroachment
To defend the nation’s sovereignty from the forces of globalism
Government Structure 
Confederalism 
Folcalonism asserts that a 
centralized structure for the state leads only to polarization, the decay of local culture, and elitism. Thus, it is necessary to the goals of Folcalonism that the state be a 
decentralized confederation, with minimal power given to the federal government, and the majority of power being delegated to the states.
Return of Dueling 
Folcalonism believes that citizens should be allowed to solve certain disputes outside of the purview of the state. One of the ways they should be allowed to do this is by 
dueling, in whatever manner they see fit. Dueling allows for the rest of society not to be brought into their dispute, and avoids burdening their community and other taxpayers by using government courts.
A Strong Executive 
Folcalonism holds that, although 
checks and balances should exist, the 
executive branch should be strong. The ideology asserts that the chief executive, elected by a system similar to how the states of Nebraska and Maine elect presidents, should use their wide ranging powers to act as a defender of the common man and his liberties, similarly to 
Andrew Jackson’s philosophy on the American presidency. The executive would not, however, interfere in areas constitutionally delegated to lower levels of government.
The Ward System 
Folcalonism promotes Thomas Jefferson’s idea of the 
ward system. The ward system is a method of organization below the county level in which a group of people who all know one another personally perform the functions of government for one another. Folcalonism believes that a system such as this could foster a return of 
communitarianism to American culture, and serve as a starting point from which 
hyperindividualism could be dismantled without utilizing extensive 
social engineering.
Republicanism 
Folcalonism opposes 
monarchy and supports a 
republican form of government. The ideology believes that a monarchy elevates an individual to the level of God, and it justifies that individual’s right to rule and level above the common man using solely their 
birthright, instead of 
popular approval, 
competence, or righteousness.
