LeBlancism is a form of political thought following the teachings, ideas and political theories of Russell LeBlanc, an Esmarian political theorist and activist. Calling for a broad series of reforms to economics, labor rights and banking, as well as expanded regulations on corporations, it is generally categorized as a downstream from Labourist and Avant-Garde political theories, as well as possessing a number of populist and nationalistic elements. Within the Coalition, LeBlancism calls for the restoration of national militaries through the abolition of the Global Disarmament Initiative, allowing the member states of the Coalition to regain their power against unchecked influence of megacorporations and the Coalition Forces Authority. This, generally, entails a theoretical reform of the CFA as a whole, decentralizing it in favor of a unified command comprised of restored national militaries. Many political parties subscribing to LeBlancist thought are also skeptical of the Coalition itself, believing the CCN to be a vehicle for megacorporate interests.
Beyond the Federal Renewal Party in Esmaria, LeBlancism has influenced a number of political organizations, both on Plateia and offworld. Some elements of the Settlement Independence Forces on Vasati subscribe to LeBlanc's ideas, and certain proletarian manifestations of Spacer nationalism are regarded as indirect manifestations of some of the grievances underlying LeBlancism.
