Iverik Socialism a social, poltiical, and economic variant from Socialism. The most basic concept of Iverik Socialism is the nationalization and ownership of theoretically everything, including the means of production by the State. The single greatest way that Iverik Socialism achieves is through a inherent totalitarian system. Another way is by the State deciding which jobs every citizen will participate in. With addition to this Iverik Socialism also stresses extreme industrialization and maximum productivity and efficiency within the economy and even the general populace, usually there is only one or no says off, poor working conditions, and poor pay. Imperialism, Nationalism, State-Atheism, a class-less society, Militarism, and Anti-fascism are also core tenants within Iverik Socialism.

The most iconic person and the most credited man with founding Iverik Socialism is John Krakenour. However, there is debate over if he truly founded the ideology. The first man that proposed a form of Iverik Socialism was Xavier Fvel. This, however, was only a precursor to modern Iverik Socialism. While it was very similar, it lacked the concept of Imperialism, as Xavier Fvel proposed that Imperialism is harmful and countries or areas shouldn't be forcefully annexed. While be believed the State should be authoritarian and be able to efficiently get it's task done, he believed the people should have the basic right of free speech and privacy incase the State becomes inefficient and most be overthrown. There has been an ongoing debate over if this can be considered Iverik Socialism and therefore has been proposed before John Krakenour was even born.

Philosophy and Freedoms

Totalitarianism

John Krakenour argued that for the State to have control over the economy and to keep control, Totalitarianism was both preferable and even necessary. Under Iverik Socialism, the State can act both secretly and publicly without consequences from the general population. While the general population has no guaranteed rights, the State has supreme authority and cannot be questioned.

It was also argued that if the general population never had freedoms, they will without question follow and serve the State. This will promote economical, political, and social unity, will increase stability, and will make the country a lot harder to overthrow or annex. John Krakenour also argued that without the knowledge of ever having freedom, the general population will never ask for it and will grow accustomed to a lack of freedom in the long-term history of the country, reducing revolutions.

Freedoms

The only country ever to practice Iverik Socialism is the Iverik Empire, hence Iverik Socialism. Within the Iverik Empire, some if the most notable freedoms such as the Freedom of Speech, press, assembly, petition, and arguably religion have been revoked and punished harshly. The freedom to bear arms has not only been effectively outlawed so only police, military, and State officials can have firearms, but the populace have been trained to believe that no citizen has the need for a gun unless they want to kill others or overthrow the government. Privacy, especially when the Iverik Empire entered the digital age, has been nearly non-existent. Police can search houses, personal devices, vehicles, body-searches, and more without restraint. It should also be noted, that all but one political party are outlawed. The official and mandatory party is the Socialist Federative Party.

Perhaps the only liberation that happened due to the Socialist revolution was that of sexual freedoms. Under the Iverik Empire, homosexuality was decriminalized, illegal to discriminate, and same-sex marriage was eventually legalized relatively early. Sexuality in Iverik culture eventually was no longer considered taboo, and sometimes even something to be proud of.

Nationalism
