Platonism

Doctrine of rule by the best, which entrusts power to a minority qualified by virtue, education or birth, rejecting political equality and majority rule, which it sees as a risk to competence.

Doctrine that grounds political order in the ruler's virtue, ritual hierarchy and filial piety, favouring bureaucratic merit and moral education over coercive law or popular participation.

Current that mobilizes the people against political and cultural elites, combining nationalism, immigration restriction, traditional values, public religion, strong security, and anti-establishment economic pragmatism around personalist leaders.

Current that unites a socialist economy with traditional values, defending social protection and a strong state role alongside family, order, and customs, far from the cultural progressivism of liberal lefts.

Getúlio Vargas's Estado Novo doctrine joining economic nationalism, a centralized state, state-tied unions, labor law and state firms such as Petrobras, against the regional oligarchies and liberalism.

Current that builds socialism from the countryside, with a single party, collectivization into villages and cooperatives, food self-sufficiency and protection of land and forests, as in Nyerere's Ujamaa.
