Noyonism

Noyonism, often referred to alternatively as Radical Federalism by many proponents, is the political and social philosophy employed primarily by the Workers' Party of Ordrey that integrates concepts based around communal ownership of the and  among locally-resilient communities, generally centered on the municipal level. While the Ordrish traditions of and other forms of leftist philosophies have roots in its 19th-century labor movement, Noyonism takes its name and core values from Acoul Noyon, a prominent  and  in the early 20th century, who described the core tenets of the philosophy in a series of essays written from 1917-1919 compiled as Dawn over the Penguinnes. Other thinkers have adapted the idea over time, including Noyon's contemporaries and other labor figures both in and outside of Ordrey over the years.

Post-Statism versus Internationalism
One of the core differences that Noyon established for his beliefs was his skepticism of the universality of the working class and of class in general as described by [Marx]. In correspondence with [Figure 1] in 1920, Noyon summarized his argument: "Many of our contemporaries and those who cling to the old-fashioned ways of thinking of liberation imagine all the world as utterly the same, if only differing in gulfs of travel along some kind of pre-ordained track...I instead believe we are divided more by space than time...and that each movement ought achieve and express its own means of liberation with the tools equipped to it by their unique circumstance. Let us work together, but embrace our differences, rather than casting them aside in favor of someone else's prescription."

Noyonists contend that concepts of a liberated society and the means of reaching it may differ wildly depending on where and when a movement takes place, as well as who engages in it. Belief in "revolutionary potential" of any one group or profession is seen as inherent in all people, regardless of a group's stage in the processes of, and as such, there is no need to progress along a singular track of events or to establish a "transitional state" (i.e. the ). Furthermore, Noyonists contend that because of this, attempting to undo the evolution of the is antithetical to liberated society, instead believing that the concept should be divorced from the notion of the  first and foremost. Cooperation between movements between cultural groups, they continue, should allow for understanding and deference for the cultural context in which each group engages in campaigns of self-liberation as opposed to imposing universal standards upon each movement.

Views on cities
While Noyon himself did not largely concern himself with urbanism in his writings, he did mention in correspondence his concern with how cities were organized. In one such statement from 1930, he says: "In past centuries, a city was little more than a town that, by virtue of custom, geography, or capital, simply became a locus of interests and politics. With the mill came not just a swell of population for those seeking work and pay, but also sprawling expanses of industry which came to consume towns in the periphery of them. These towns became neighborhoods, independent in all but officiality. Should we not consider them, in our liberated world, their own political organism again? And if so, should we not address the political forces that the architecture which consumed them represent?" These statements, while not themselves anti-sprawl, were developed into latter developments in Noyonist theory about the importance of green spaces and stressing a concept of the city as a political entity which is composed of multiple units instead of a singular municipal structure, in many ways a federation unto itself.

Contemporary Noyonists have extrapolated his "architecture as politics" statement to influence ideas around city planning in the present, largely informed by beliefs which emerged in the 1970s onwards. As such, many proponents of Noyonist ideas contend that urban sprawl, suburbanization, urban car culture, traffic congestion, and sometimes noise and light pollution have severe negative impacts on not just the ecology of an area, but the society that lives within it. They are not necessarily critical of urbanization, but rather, stress the importance of urban planning which takes such concerns into account.
