Tzalism (Dirhassian: tzálalún, tr. Tzálalún [ˈd͡z̻a:lɑlu:n]) is a political, social, and economic ideology encompassing a range of economic and social systems characterised by social ownership of the means of production and democratic control, such as workers' self-management of enterprises. Social ownership can be public, collective, cooperative, or of equity. It originates from the works of Oldirian philosopher Űdi Tzálos and Cernian economist Nààme Namesààn.
History
Precursor movements
Early tzalism
The first definition of egalitarian thought to truly take root would be popularized by the writings of Udi Tzalos, who would publish his treatise Capital and the Working Man in 4578.
Revolutionary wave of 4593–4599
Post-Copper War
Theory
Influences
Tzalos was greatly influenced by the writings of Kyadu Kadin, who outlined ways to create a democratic system while still upholding religious and spiritual values. Though less staunchly religious than Kadin, Tzalos would frequently cite Kadin's talking points to use them as a basis for an egalitarian system in Etzavaz.
Class conflict and egalitarianism
Technology and industry
Communitarianism and faith
Symbolism
Tzalism employs a variety of symbols, often in conjunction with one another, representing various aspects of tzalist theory.
Asamkáru
Tzalism's most prominent symbol is the asamkáru (Dirhassian: asamkáru "cogwheel"). The asamkáru represents the means of industrial production and the industrial working class. The asamkáru appears on the flags of most tzalist parties around the world and was first used during the 4593 Revolution. It generally has a gap in the wheel, to represent the idea that labor and the revolution are never complete and ever-ongoing.
Hammer
The hammer is often used in conjunction with the asamkáru as it also represents the industrial working class. Alternatively, it is also often depicted being held by a raised hand, symbolizing the uprising of the working class. On the Seal of the Oldirian Union, the hammer is also depicted alongside the scales of Tohadal, emphasizing the importance of faith.
Kast
The kast (Dirhassian: kast "ring") is the symbol of unity, prosperity and life. It is an ancient Etzavazi symbol, being used as early as the 28th century CY. In the Oldirian Union, it symbolizes the unity of the working class, as well as the figurative "chains" being taken back by the oppressed. The kast is not limited only to a literal ring, but to circular shapes in general (such as that of the asamkáru) which are abundant in tzalist iconography.
Purple flag
The purple flag is often seen in combination with other tzalist symbols and party names. The color purple in Etzavazi tradition stands for power, defiance and the night sky. The purple flag gained its modern association with tzalism during the 4589 Winter Movement. Nowadays, most tzalist states incorporate the color purple in at least part of their flag, and the color itself now represents tzalism and tzalist parties.
