abstract
| - New republicanism is a political ideology and political platform promoted by more conservative and radical members of Rutanian Democratic Forum. Chief ideologist and political leader is Fabian Castelli. New republicanism was official party ideology of Rutanian Democratic Forum from 2610 until 2613, when the party name was "New Republican Movement". This was under mandate of Castelli who was president of NRM. From 2600 until 2609 party was also known as Rutanian Republican Democratic Forum, just to reflect this "republican" part of program. New republicanism, as named by Castelli, represents a combination of economic and social liberalism, with strong emphasis on socialist views, radicalism, corporatism and conservativism. While some argue it is "a strange combination ment only to bring Castelli to power", other think that it is a right path for Rutania and for RDF. After seizure of power, new republicanism showed itself to be an ultraconservative and socialist ideology supported by some fascist elements. May members now think that "new republicanism was a good platform but misused by Castelli". There were also two political factions inside RDF which support(ed) new republicanism: Group of Conservative Social Liberals and RDF Republican Council.
