'''Sankarism''' is an authleft ideology in Burkina Faso based on the ideas of Thomas Sankara, who was an anti-colonial, feminist and Marxist-Leninist revolutionary and president. Sankarism is left-wing, pan-Africanist and anti-imperialist. Thomas Sankara was sometimes dubbed the "[[Guevarism|Che Guevara]] of Africa" and stood in opposition to the cult of personality unlike other [[File:ML.png]] [[Marxism–Leninism|Marxist-Leninist]] ideologies.

Though Thomas Sankara himself was a communist and Marxist-Leninist, many Burkinabe people and organizations who follow [[File:Socdem.png]] [[Social Democracy]], [[File:Pop.png]] [[Populism]], or [[File:Nation.png]] [[Nationalism]] have also dubbed themselves "Sankarists".
