"Simon Bolivar is the leader of the revolution of this land. He is the leader of the social revolution, the people's revolution, the historical revolution."
Bolivarianism is an 
authoritarian ideology that uses 
Nationalistic File:Modnat.png Patriotic, and File:Pan-Nationalism.png Pan-Nationalistic ideas used predominantly in Venezuela and Colombia. It is based on the Ideas of File:SimonBolivar.png Simon Bolivar for creating an unified Latin-American state, but in time it has added of File:Soc21.png Socialism of the 21st Century ideas, giving rise to Bolivarian Socialism or File:Chavismo.png Chavismo.
History
File:SimonBolivar.png Simón Bolivar was born in Caracas, now File:Cball-Venezuela.png Venezuela, in July 24th, 1783. He was born to a rich Criollo family, and was sent to study at File:Cball-Spain.png Madrid at 16. He would return to Venezuela after marrying, but after his wife's death in 1803, he would return to Europe, this time to 
France. There, he re-encountered with his teacher, Simón Rodríguez, who gives Bolivar ideas about liberating Venezuela from the Spanish Empire. In France, he would presence the coronation of File:NapoleonI.png Napoleon Bonaparte, and found about the File:Enlightenment.png Enlightenment, which further influenced him to liberate South America from the Spanish Empire, this is expressed in the Oath of the Sacred Mountain.
In 1807, taking advantage of the fact that Spain was invaded by Napoleonic France and was fighting for it's independence, Bolivar returns to Venezuela. In 1808, he starts his political activity, joining the Patriotic Society of Caracas. In 1810, the General Captaincy of Venezuela was deposed due to Spain being a Napoleonic puppet state, while the Venezuelan people were loyal to the Spanish Monarchy. In 1811, Venezuela declares it's independence from Spain, however this doesn't last long, as Spain invades Venezuela back, adding a earthquake which affected Caracas heavily. W.I.P
Beliefs
Bolivar was a follower of 
Classical Liberalism. Bolivar believed in 
Republicanism, as he wanted to create a File:Centralism.png centralized 
federation of File:PanHisp.png Latin American republics that was governed by a strong executive and a 
British-inspired constitution. Despite this, Bolivar, many times, showed his favor towards authoritarianism. Bolivar was a self-proclaimed 
abolitionist, promising to abolish File:Slavery.png slavery in File:LatAm.png Latin America. He also called for land distribution to 
Indigenous peoples.
Variants
File:Merit.png Ottolinismo
Renny Ottolina was a Venezuelan television presenter, advertising executive, and political figure who became one of the most recognizable media personalities in Venezuela during the mid-20th century. Initially known for his work in broadcasting and commercial media, Ottolina later transitioned into political activism, leveraging his public platform to challenge the established party system. His media influence gave rise to what critics and observers described as a form of 
Mediacracy, where mass communication and televised charisma became central tools of political mobilization.
Ottolina positioned himself as strongly 
anti-communist, opposing Marxist movements and leftist insurgencies that were active in Latin America during the Cold War period. At the same time, he criticized Venezuela’s dominant party structure, adopting an 
anti-particracy stance that rejected what he saw as entrenched bipartisan control and political patronage networks. His rhetoric often aligned with File:Rpop.pngright-wing populism, framing himself as a voice of the people against corrupt elites and bureaucratic stagnation.
Economically, Ottolina’s proposals blended File:PlannedCap.pngplanned capitalism and File:Statecap.pngstate capitalism, advocating structured national development under strong state coordination while maintaining private enterprise. His outlook also incorporated 
national agrarianism, emphasizing rural revitalization and agricultural productivity as foundations for sovereignty and economic stability. While he was critical of unchecked industrial expansion—reflecting elements of 
anti-industrialism—this did not translate into rejection of modernization, but rather a call for balanced development rooted in national priorities.
Ottolina championed File:Merit.pngmeritocracy, arguing that public office and institutional leadership should be based on competence rather than party loyalty. His broader ideological orientation combined 
national conservatism with File:Humanismpix.pnghumanism, promoting cultural cohesion, civic ethics, and social responsibility. He expressed consistent 
anti-racist views, advocating equality within a unified national identity, while grounding his politics in File:Pragmat.pngpragmatism, favoring workable solutions over rigid ideological doctrine.
Renny Ottolina’s political ambitions were cut short by his death in a plane crash in 1978 while campaigning for the presidency. His legacy remains associated with media-driven political reformism, anti-party sentiment, and efforts to articulate a nationalist development strategy outside the traditional Venezuelan partisan framework.
