Fordism

Fordism is a Totalitarian, Culturally Far-Left, Economically Far-Right and Globalist ideology as well as a religion from the book Brave New World. While not describing the manufacturing Ford's industrial philosophy directly, it still technically applies to it since a central part of this Fordism is the manufacturing philosophy applied to Humans.

Fordism describes a society in which a state keeps control not by fear of violent punishment, but by supplying the people with endless supply of drugs (in the book there being one: Soma), Entertainment (specifically "Feelies") and Sex (Specifically "Orgy Porgies"). All things that might require any sort of duty that goes against how the Fordists keeps control (For example: The Family Unit, Religions other than Fordism, Nationalism, Traditional Notions of Decency, etc.) is completely eliminated by the global state social engineering it away by instilling a hatred to these things to children since an early age and raising them in facilities and born artificially. The ideology is intended to create a society that does not experience any kind of sorrow or hardship, but seems to be mainly focused around increasing consumption (of clothes, sports equipment, etc.). The name "Fordism" comes from the religion that the society within the book espouses, which worships Henry Ford as a deity (additionally they worship Sigmund Freud, who they might or might not believe is the same person).

Personality

Fordism is an absolute degenerate in the way he acts, he absolutely hates anybody that does not "join on the fun" of taking soma and having sex all the time. Fordism looks down upon any society or ideology that he does not recognize as industrial or "fun".

How to Draw

Fordism's design is based on the BNW cover plus a "T" which is the symbol of the religion of Fordism.

Draw a ball.
Bisect the ball into two vertical stripes of equal width.
Draw eight equal horizontal stripes of dark blue (top) alternating with light blue (bottom) in the left half.
Do the same with the second half, but reverse the colors.
Draw a white "T" in the middle of the ball.

And you're done!

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Ingsoc - Maybe instead of banning a book, you should maybe socially condition people to believe that reading is evil.

The Outer Circle

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Neoliberalism - You might be culturally left and economically right but you're not even an extremist so I don't know how you manage to have any fun.
Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Pink Capitalism - You might be culturally far left, economically far right, and an extremist, but it won't last long without a totalitarian government to stabilize society.
Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination State Liberalism - Almost there! Instead of banning wrongthink, why not just flood them with so many distractions that they voluntarily stop opposing your aims?
