Porfirionism
Mexican political ideology / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Porfirionism or Porfirismo (Spanish: Porfirismo) is an authoritarian and personalistic political ideology rooted and developed during the dictatorship of Mexican General Porfirio Díaz in which it ushered a period of right-wing and far-right politics to Mexico. Porifirionism is characterized by its Conservatism, Militarism and Nationalism. Under Diaz, the country experienced a long lasting peace called "Pax Porfiriana" often due to its militarization of the rurales and elimination of political opponents which helped achieve foreign investments into the country, rapid industrialization, militarization and modernization of social culture adopting the phrase "Order and Progress" to achieve these ideals at all costs.[1]
