Alveloism is a New Alexandrian political and economic ideology named after its proponent, Pablo Alvelo Nieves. It is an integrated approach that combines technonationalist ambitions with agrarian values, distributism, and social credit principles to foster a robust, self-sufficient, and equitable economy. Alveloism also incorporates elements of technopopulism, advocating for direct technological empowerment of citizens, and political radicalism, challenging conventional politics to reshape society.

Philosophy

The philosophical underpinnings of Alveloism, deeply woven into the socio-cultural tapestry of Nouvelle Alexandrie, transcend traditional political dichotomies, aiming to establish a society grounded in the principles of equity, empowerment, and communal harmony. Drawing significant inspiration from the principles of Aldricism, Wechua communitarianism, and Guaitiao progressivism, Pablo Alvelo Nieves formed Alveloism from the ashes of his own experiences with societal turmoil, having been born during a time that Santander was left to the chaos of the statelessness of the Keltian Green to Alexandrian parents. Alveloism advocates for a civilization where economic security is not a privilege but a right, aspiring to a world where "each individual can thrive under their vine and fig tree, unthreatened by fear or want", as written by Alvelo in Alveloism: A New Dawn for Nouvelle Alexandrie. This vision is articulated in a narrative that elevates the spirit of communal well-being over individual accumulation.

Alveloism introduces distributism and social credit theory as foundational components, advocating for a socio-economic system where wealth and property are widely distributed rather than concentrated. Inspired by the distributive justice ideals, it proposes that the means of production should be spread as broadly as possible among the populace, rather than being centralized under the control of the state or a few large corporations. Alveloism proposes a socio-political framework that emphasizes the autonomy of the individual within the context of broader societal obligations, promoting a balance between personal freedom and the collective good. It posits that the state and its institutions are servants to the populace, facilitating an environment where individuals and communities flourish.

The social credit aspect of Alveloism is a response to the shortcomings of traditional monetary systems. It suggests the implementation of a national credit system, based on the actual productive capacity of the economy, to facilitate the equitable distribution of wealth. By doing so, Alveloism seeks to bridge the gap between the production of goods and services and their consumption, ensuring that all citizens have access to the necessities and comforts of life. This model champions the creation of a dividend distributed to all citizens, a reflection of their shared ownership of the nation's natural and technological resources.

Technocratic principles are deeply embedded in Alveloism, reflecting a belief in the power of informed expertise and scientific knowledge to solve societal problems. It views technology and data-driven decision-making as essential tools for optimizing resource management, enhancing governance, and ensuring environmental sustainability. Alveloism's technocratic leanings are not just about embracing technological innovation but about applying such advancements judiciously to foster a society that is both advanced and harmonious with nature.

The decentralization and sharing of power are central to Alveloism's vision for a more democratic and participatory society, with a significant focus on leveraging technology to enhance democratic engagement. It champions local autonomy and self-determination as antidotes to disenfranchisement and neglect experienced under foreign rule and during periods of anarchy. Alveloism believes that empowering local communities and promoting the use of technology in governance and economic development, a society is created where decisions are made closer to those they affect, ensuring that governance is both responsive and responsible.

The survivalist elements of Alveloism, influenced by the historical experiences of state failure and statelessness among the Alexandrian, Caputian, Wechua, and Wakara diasporas, underscore a pragmatic approach to national resilience. Alveloism’s philosophy believes that societies must evolve to prevent their disintegration into lawlessness, advocating for a civilization that is resilient, equitable, and forward-looking. It underscores the necessity of preparing for the uncertainties of the future, building upon the lessons of the past to create a society where economic security and environmental sustainability are not mutually exclusive but interdependent.

In essence, Alveloism seeks to navigate the complexities of modern governance and economics through a blend of traditional values and innovative practices. It envisions a Nouvelle Alexandrie where every citizen is empowered, resources are managed sustainably, and governance is both enlightened and inclusive, ensuring a future where the nation not only endures but thrives.
