Safez of Roarborne

Political ideology and beliefs

Safez was originally a devout Roarist and supported the complete abolition of the monarchy in favour of a republican system, where democratic elections would determine the political course of the government. During this period, he aligned with other traditional Roarists and called for a revolution against the government in place. However, over time Safez's political ideas shifted significantly to a hybrid ideology of Roarism and his own principles, often referred to as Roarbornism. Roarbornism is widely regarded as a later and highly personalized variant of Roarism, positioning the members of the House of Roarborne and Safez in particular as the total leaders of the Lionarchic State. The ideology combines Solarite nationalism, secterianism, militarism and a cult of personality around the Roarbornes. Similarly to traditional Roarism, Roarbornism supports the maintenance of a centralized army and opposes the economic and political decentralization of the Lionarchy. Both ideologies aim to move all public institutions in the hands of the state, though Roarbornism pursues to put these institutions specifically in the hands of the Roarborne family and its close allies. Unlike Roarism, Roarbornism elevates the ethnic Solarite-group above all the other ethnicities. Its most prominent example is in politics, where only Solarites and Savalions are allowed to vote and hold bureaucratic positions.

Roarbornism is frequently contrasted with other variants of Roarism, including Saharism and Neo-Roarism. Both Saharism and Neo-Roarism are non-dynastic and more socialist than Roarbornism. Saharism aims to focus less on Lionarchic-nationalism, focusing instead on establishing a full democratic political system, the removal of the monarchy and the non-corrupt handling of state institutions. Neo-Roarism on the other hand is widely described as a far-left variant of Roarism. Neo-Roarism abandoned nationalist principles and instead espoused radical leftist doctrines such as revolutionary socialism.
