Donghuaism

Donghuaism (Chinese: 東華主義/东华主义; pinyin: Dōnghuá zhǔyì), or Beiyangism (北洋主義/北洋主义; Běiyáng zhǔyì) is a political ideology and extreme form of anarcho-communism. The ideology was to eliminate all differences and social classes in society so that society can be peaceful and utopian, however, the difference was, was that there was no personal property, with everything given to the state to strengthen the country.

It was created in 1933 with the release of the book, "The Common People", by Zhao Donghua, however failed to gain any traction until the 1960s, when Robert Bei-yang created a school about Donghuaist thought. On June 9, 1965, his supporters successfully attempted a coup d'etat on Frederik Bao (PDP), the president. Bei-yang tried to implement his policies, however, they were opposed and hated by the moderate and conservative majority and after being threatened that his wife and children were being held hostage, Bei-yang agreed to an election. Paul Zhang (NPP), won, in the biggest landslide in Tsengian history. Afterwards, Donghuaism lost its popularity and disappeared. It has since resurfaced, with many people identifying as Donghuaist.

Beginnings
Donghuaism didn't exist until 1933 with "The Common People" by Zhao Donghua. The book achieved little success though.

Bei-yang era
In 1959, Robert Bei-yang read "The Common People" and was inspired by it. In 1961, he started speaking at conventions, and the ideology started gaining popularity. In 1963, he opened the Donghuaist School of Thought.

The peak of Donghuaism/Beiyangism was in June 1965, when Bei-yang came to power. He started implenting the Donghuaist policies, for example, Executive Order 8241 meant the people's occupations were chosen by the government instead of by themselves, which led to an outrage. There were riots and disorder in the streets, and Bei-yang's methods to stop the riots, which involved excessive police force and the military, only intensified the riots. In the end, after receiving a call that his wife and children were being held hostage (they were in Arbre-Rose for a vacation), Bei-yang agreed to have an election. Bei-yang lost in a massive landsilde, and was killed by members of the New Order after the election, on July 25.

Modern era
After Bei-yang's death, Donghuaism lost its base and disappeared. However, recently it has experienced a resurgence in college students, but anti-communism is still strong on campuses. A 2019 survey showed that 2% of students identify as "far-left", 19% as "left", and the rest "centre" or "right".

Theory
Donghuaism is similar to anarcho-communism, but with a few differences.


 * All property is owned by the government.
 * No crime is allowed, those doing crimes will be severely punished.
 * Occupations are chosen by the government.
 * Everything is shared.

Political party
The political party, Donghuaist Party (DP) existed from 1961 to 1965. It was banned after Paul Zhang became president. Some former Donghuaists went to the Communist Party (then, the Communist Party was a paramilitary terrorist group).

The DP is noted for being the only party other than the PDP or NPP to serve a presidency.
