Miguelism (Creeperian Spanish: Miguelismo) was the political ideology of the National Council for Peace and Order (also called the Miguelists) during the Creeperian Civil War. Under the leadership of Miguel VII and Marcof I, it largely became an authoritarian, atheist, communist ideology connected with Creeperopolis.
Miguelism placed a strong emphasis on an atheist identity. Miguelism emphasized the need for total authority, wealth redistribution, and classlessness in society. Miguelism strongly emphasized anti-capitalism and pro-communism and was generally anti-democratic. Miguelism promoted the revival of a "Liberal" Creeperopolis due to the ongoing civil war against the Catholic Catholic Imperial Restoration Council, commonly called the Romerists.
Miguelism has attacked the political right as its "enemy", especially the far-right.

 Red Flag |
According to many scholars, Miguelism – especially once in power – has historically attacked fascism, capitalism, and liberalism, attracting support primarily from the left, be it center-left, left-wing, or far-left.
One common definition of the term, frequently cited by reliable sources as a standard definition, is that of professor Orlando Pareja Palau. Despite being a Romerist, leading to citations of bias, his definition is, in reality, mostly accurate. He focuses on three concepts:
- "Miguelist Negations": Anti-Liberalism, Anti-Fascism, and Anti-Capitalism;
- "Miguelist Goals": The creation of a Internationalist commune free from class boundaries and corporate institutions;
- "Miguelist Style": a political aesthetic of idealist symbolism, mass mobilization, a positive view of violence, and promotion of masculinity, youth, and charismatic authoritarian leadership.
Position in the Political Spectrum
Miguelism falls to the extreme left on practically every political, social, and economic topic, making the ideology itself Far-Left.
History
Pre-Civil War
Miguelism's roots began in the Second Parliamentary Era of Creeperopolis in the late 1880s. The first political party to resemble proto-Miguelism was the Creeperian Socialist Party under the leadership of Édgar Cazalla Beldad. Early on, the party's ideologies included Republicanism, Secularism, Abolitionism, Socialism, and Democratic Socialism. In 1888, the Creeperian Social Communist Party split from the Creeperian Socialist Party under Mauricio Tasis Quesada. The party pushed for Communism, Socialism, National Atheism, Internationalism, and Hard-Abolitionism of the Monarchy. The ideology continued to evolve into modern Miguelism under Joel Lacasa Campos and Rolando Rubio Noboa.
Civil War
During the Creeperian Civil War, Miguelism was upheld under the banner of the National Council for Peace and Order. The ideology formed under the National Council for Peace and Order and was named after its leader, Emperor Miguel VII.
Post-Civil War
After the Creeperian Civil War, Miguelism was outlawed and heavily associated with the De-Catholization. It continued to be used by communists and partisans during the Partisan Resistance in Creeperopolis from 1949 to 1957.
Criticism
Anti-Democratic and Tyrannical
One of the most common and strongest criticisms of Miguelism is that it is a tyranny. Miguelism is deliberately and entirely non-democratic and anti-democratic.
De-Catholization
The beliefs of Miguelism have largely been used against it to blame it for the De-Catholization, the genocide of Catholics during the Creeperian Civil War.
