Kadinism

Kadinism is a political ideology stemming from the writings and ideas of Kyadu Kadin. It focuses on creating a strong democratic system that fits within the teachings of Orthodox Kunwidya. Arising in the mid 4500s CY, Kadinism favored the betterment of the “ordinary man,” seeking to empower the lower classes of Wadiin just as the Prophet was empowered.

Concepts

Kadinist countries differ in the specifics of their structure and democratic processes, but generally follow Kadin's original philosophy closely.

Kadin's original outline

Kadinism fills a blend between democracy and religion, where the people vote for the leaders that rule them, according to who they believe are the most fit and holy. In Kadin's originally outlined system, the traditional structure of Jiyas is replaced with Tadyifyis. Tadyifyis act as both local religious leaders and lawmakers, they are expected to both practice law and give religious guidance through the opinion of the Experts. Kadin also reimagines the position of the Dyaway into that of an elected official, which he calls the Dyatadyi. The Dyatadyi serves for life, and are elected through a process of representative democracy involving the general populace, the Tadyifyis, and the Experts. In Kadin's system, the Dyatadyi may also be deposed by a common vote of the Experts, should they stray from the holy path. The idea of Kadin's original system was to give the lower classes of Wadiin more control over the structures of their life. He believed, just as the Prophet was an ordinary man, the lower classes of ordinary men would know best how to differentiate the righteous with the heretical. Kadin was increasingly concerned that the royalty and hierarchical religious structures in Wadiin had become complacent and gluttonous, and sought to enlighten the common people that the masses held greater knowledge and power.
