Frontierism

Frontierism shortened simply to Front is the ideological inspiration to Anarcho-Frontierism without the Anarchism. Frontierism is based on the lifestyle of the American West (frontier) during the age of Manifest Destiny, it advocates for Libertarianism, Agrarianism, Nationalism and Federalism. Values differ from person to person but generally it is economically right-centered, diplomatically left, civilly left-centered, and societally left-centered.

Some Fronts are extreme imperialists and others are moderate cowboy culture enthusiasts that desire for a simpler time.

History

The Frontier thesis or Turner thesis (also American frontierism), is the argument advanced by historian Frederick Jackson Turner in 1893 that American democracy was formed by the American frontier. He stressed the process—the moving frontier line—and the impact it had on pioneers going through the process. He also stressed results, especially that American democracy was the primary result, along with egalitarianism, a lack of interest in high culture, and violence. "American democracy was born of no theorist's dream; it was not carried in the Susan Constant to Virginia, nor in the Mayflower to Plymouth. It came out of the American forest, and it gained new strength each time it touched a new frontier," said Turner.
