Anti-Centrists

Seemingly-incompatible ideologies united by a desire to change the status quo and seeing centrists burn.

    In General 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ug8hdwgb_400x400.jpg
"The Centrists got to go!"

"I've been trying to tell the people for so long
That centrists are destroying the world, that they are wrong"

  • Anthropomorphic Personification: They are the personifications of the four extreme ideologies along the economic and civil political axes; Communism (Totalitarian-Left), Nazism (Totalitarian-Right), Anarcho-Communism (Anarchist-Left) and Anarcho-Capitalism (Anarchist-Right).
  • Black-and-Grey Morality: Despite all of them being comically unhinged and evil to a degree, they tend to make a lot of Villain Has a Point statements to show why someone would support them.
  • Color-Coded Characters: Each of them are tinted a different color that represents their section of the political compass: Commie is red, Nazi is Blue, Ancom is green and Ancap is yellow (though it is brought up that while he should be purple, yellow is more aesthetically pleasing and that a compromise solution would result in him looking like Wario). Since they are all extreme examples of each quadrant, they are tinted stronger than their respective moderate counterparts.
  • Chromatic Arrangement: The four extremes are red, blue, green, and yellow, like the quadrants of a political compass.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: While all four extremists are at least somewhat evil, they all have at least some lines they won't cross.
  • Pyrrhic Victory: At the end of Episode 8, Part 3 the extremes have reunited and defeated all the centrists and Accelerationism, and decide not to betray each other. However, this means that they've enacted a form of centrism by returning to the status quo, of their friendship anyway.
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Being the Anthropomorphic Personification of extreme political ideologies, the Extremes are fundamentally opposed to one another to varying degrees and only work together because they possess a common enemy in the Centrists. Deconstructed in Centricide 6: anti-centrism isn't a sufficient cause to keep these disparate and mutually contradictory ideologies working together, and the extremists fall apart to pursue their own interests. By the end of that episode, Commie is the only one still working with Jreg.
    Jreg: Are you telling me that a group of disparately connected ideologies that have more in common with centrists than with each other aren't capable of working together for a common goal?
    • Episode 8 then subverts this, as they reunite to take down Accelerationism and not turn on each other afterwards, concluding that working with other extremes towards a similar goal isn't the most impossible thing out there.
  • Villain Protagonist: Communist threatens people with torture and death by gulag and kills Socialist with his bare-hands for being a pacifist, Ancom has a Hair-Trigger Temper and likes to threaten people with quis baseball bat and throw bombs into banks, Ancap has admitted to various human rights violations under the idea that he can literally buy anything with his wealth and Nazi is... well, a Nazi. They are only protagonists in that they are brought together against a group of ideologies that support the status quo and want social change, even if some of that change isn't necessarily for the better.
  • Villain Teamup: Due to acknowledging that their biggest threat is the status quo and Overton window instead of each other at the moment, these four incompatible ideologies have put aside their differences to end centrism once and for all. This is brought to its natural conclusion by the end of "Centricide 6", where Ancom, Ancap and Nazi have all-but abandoned the centricide when better opportunities presented themselves and it slowly dawns on the Jreg that their incompatibility made the Anti-Centrist movement an inherently lost cause. Subverted when they reunite in episode 8
  • Visionary Villain: While how "villainous" any one of them is depends on one's personal opinion, each of the extremists has their own idea of how the world should be.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: Literally. Each of the extremists believe wholeheartedly in different causes that in some way comes with their own pros and cons. Ancom believes in fighting for equal rights for minorities (even if he is willing to do it violently and is really annoying about it), Commie wants to create a post-scarcity society (even if he has to kill all capitalists, anarchists and pacifists to do it), Nazi believes in protecting his people from foreign threats (even if that protection comes at the cost of everyone else's lives and rights) and Ancap is completely confident in the benefits of free-market capitalism (even if it benefits few and exploits many). Whether or not they are entirely honest in their agendas or if it's a self-serving façade depends more on the viewer than the text and subtext.
  • Wide-Eyed Idealist: A twisted deconstruction. All four major anti-centrists are what they are as a result of embracing idealism over cynicism, but not only does this mean that they've also embraced ideological purity over common human decency, with no qualms about getting their hands dirty and/or bloody in the pursuit of bringing their ideals to fruition, it's made clear that the human mind is more than capable of holding to evil ideals as well as good ones.

    Jreg 

Jreg, Greg Guevara, Anti-Centrist

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2020_01_26_at_94744_pm.png
"We need do get rid of the center"

"Soon, I will be a real political ideology."

A political YouTuber who started the movement to defeat the true political enemy: The Centrists.


  • Author Powers: While Jreg has not shown to possess any abilities outside of the usual ideology superpower grab-bag, Greg Guevara on the other hand seems to possess some level of control over the fictional nature of Centricide's world. In "Centricide 7.0", when Radical Centrist brings Greg's personality to the forefront through physical abuse, Greg was able to edit out footage of the Radical Centrist so that he could have time to talk to the viewer. Since he does not seem to have conscious control over some of these abilities — footage from other videos bleeding into the video when Radical Centrist hits him and expressing surprise when his hand is healed, his handcuffs replaced with a tie and the video ending prematurely when Radical Centrist continues abusing him — it is likely a case of Power Incontinence and/or Phlebotinum Overload.
  • Bomb Throwing Anarchist / Commie Nazis: As an anti-centrist, Jreg is every extreme simultaneously and as an advocate of Centricide he's certainly not averse to violence.
  • Evil All Along: In Centricide 8, it's revealed his true endgame was becoming Accelerationist, a being which destroys political ideologies.
  • Fun with Acronyms: The centrists theorize that his name is an acronym based on the various ideologies held by the spirits possessing him. J stands for the Juche ideology of North Korea (espoused by the Kim dynasty), R stands for Randian (as in Ayn Rand), E for Evolan (after fascist theorist Julius Evola) and the G is for Guevaran (as in Che).
  • Grand Theft Me: Is supposedly possessed by Kim Il-Sung, Ayn Rand, Julius Evola, and Che Guevara, the four most extreme extremists of all time.
  • Knight Templar: Believes the world needs to change and does not care how, but is willing to use drastic, violent means to bring change about it.
  • The Leader: He coordinates the extremes together to fight the centrists.
  • Many Spirits Inside of One: Jreg was created from the combined spirits of Kim Il-sung, Ayn Rand, Julius Evola, and Che Guevara.
  • Meta Guy: While Jreg is very much the Villain Protagonist of the series, Greg possesses Medium Awareness and is convinced that the epic plot between the Extremists and the Centrist is just an Author Filibuster and Jreg is just a character he's playing, though it is quite obvious that Jreg is a separate entity wanting to enact a Split-Personality Takeover. In "Centricide 7.0" however, it becomes clear that Greg has some form of control over the fictional universe they inhabit, altering the reality that they live in by removing parts of Radical Centrist's footage in the video after he hits him and ending the video entirely when his abuse continues.
  • Not in This for Your Revolution: Well not just your revolution. He wants the world to change and is fine with it changing in whichever way rather than favoring any one specific extremist vision-in fact he favors all of them simultaneously.
    • Centricide 7/8 indicates that Jreg's true motivation was becoming Accelerationist, a being capable of destroying any political ideology's meaning.
  • Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: While the Extremes under his banner all have good intentions for waging war against the centrists (from their perspective, anyway), Jreg doesn't seem to have much of an end goal outside of culling the centrists, despite all his rhetoric about changing the world. Ancap rightfully points out that he doesn't appear to really have a motive or game-plan outside of "blind political chaos" and Radical Centrist seems to think that he has something even more nefarious ready and waiting. This turns out to be true, as his end goal was becoming Accelerationist.
  • Orcus on His Throne: Ancap accuses him of being this in Centricide 4, pointing out that he seems to spend most of his time editing YouTube videos while ordering him, Nazi, Commie and Ancom to go out and do his dirty work for him.
  • Paper-Thin Disguise: When speaking as the extremists that possess him, he simply says that they are speaking and makes no attempt to sound like the people in question. The Extremists don't question it.
  • Split at Birth: It is strongly implied that Jreg and Radical Centrist where a single entity in "Centricide 6", having split to represent Extremism and Centrism when ideologies diversified into what would become the political compass.
  • Split-Personality Makeover: Since Jreg was created from the combined spirits of Kim Il-sung, Ayn Rand, Julius Evola, and Che Guevara, each of them are able to take over the body independently. The differences in their appearances are shown in Centricide 4.
  • Split-Personality Takeover: While Greg thinks Jreg is just a character he plays for YouTube, Jreg has an independent existence and will of his own.
  • Villainous Crush: His song 'A C C E L E R A T E' seems to imply he has one on right-accelerationist writer Nick Land.

    Nazi 

Totalitarian Right, Nazi, National Socialist, Fascist, Wacky Frank, White Identitarian, Jewish Fascist

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rightyjpg.jpg
"My race is clearly superior!"

"I'm not a Nazi! I just want to tell you about my theories on race and IQ!"

A Naz- uh... "White Identitarian" who seeks an ethnostate and a strong state. He is united with the other extremists against the centrist menace.


  • Absolute Xenophobe: If you're not straight, cisgender, white, male and far-right, he wants to liquidate you.
  • Anthropomorphic Personification: Of Nazism, or at least the general idea of Authoritarian Right-Wing Extremism.
  • At Least I Admit It: In Centricide 4, he says that unlike Ancap, he makes no pretenses about respecting other peoples' rights and freedoms.
  • Bait the Dog: In "A Neo-Nazi With They/Them Pronouns", he expresses a willingness to use other people's preferred pronouns... but then it's revealed that this isn't Nazi talking, just a regular guy temporarily possessing him. The real Nazi is still unabashedly queerphobic.
  • Bastard Understudy: He seems to be loyal to Jreg, but he's implied in a conversation with Ancap that he's willing to overthrow him if he thinks it would serve his interests to do so.
  • Berserk Button:
    • Calling him a Nazi "boils [his] blood". He only seems to think that for PR reasons though, so it's a downplayed example.
    • Don't call him a left-wing ideology. The last guy who called him left-wing got the bullet.
  • Blood Knight: He really loves fighting and warfare and has expressed a desire to die in combat.
  • Boomerang Bigot: In "Centricide 6", Conservative reveals to Nazi that he is ethnically Jewish, making his anti-Semitism a case of this.
  • The Brute: Radical Centrist claims that what he brings to the Extremists is ruthlessness.
  • Color-Coded Characters: Blue
  • Commissar Cap: Wears one.
  • Composite Character: From an ideological perspective. While he's mostly Nazism, he also has some aspects of Italian Fascism, such as atheism. This makes him distinct from the other three extremists, who represent the general idea of their basic ideologies, while he selectively combines aspects of certain schools of thought derived from his basic ideology.
  • The Corrupter: Nazi is really good at getting those around him to embrace their worst selves even if he doesn't get them to agree with him; he later realizes this is his main talent.
  • Designated Hero: Invoked. He's an objectively terrible person, but he's among one of the four main protagonists.
  • Drugs Are Bad: He thinks all drugs are degenerate, except alcohol for some reason.
  • Even Evil Has Standards:
    • While Nazi makes it clear that he's a sadist who likes watching others suffer and has no reservations about committing genocide, deep-deep down he genuinely believes that this is for the benefit of those he considers his "people". In "Centricide 4" he calls Ancap out for his Holier Than Thou morality, calling him Secretly Selfish because the system he wants is built on exploitation of the many to service the few.
    • When Pan-Africanism is turned into an impossible ideology monster and proclaims that all other continents other than Africa should be annihilated in "Centricide 8.0", Nazi calls him insane. While Nazi isn't above committing genocide, he won't do it for its own sake; all he really wants is an ethnostate, not world-domination or world-annihilation.
  • Evil Is Petty: He tends to Kick the Dog constantly seemingly for no other reason than sadistic satisfaction, like when he took all of the sugar in the house and put it in his cup just so the others couldn't have it regardless of whether he wanted any.
    Nazi: There is nothing wrong with a slur here and there... and there and there, and there and there... and pretty much all the time. I like making people feel small.
  • Faux Affably Evil: He is desperate to appear as as a reasonable and polite "advocate" for the white race, but any deeper analysis of his views by the other character quickly reveals the sheer contempt he feels for them and anybody not like him.
  • The Friend Nobody Likes: Commie and Ancap are embarrassed by how much they agree with him, and Ancom despises him. In "Centricide 4", he takes advantage of Commie's grief and forms a friendship with him, although he manages to frustrate Commie Once per Episode until his seeming death at the Horseshoe Centrist's hands, and manages to be so outrageously racist on the way out that Commie admits it's helping him get over his grief by realizing he's not missing much.
  • The Gadfly: Once beat up Ancom for stealing one of Ancap's bagels (even though Communist was the one who took them)... only to eat it right in front of them all.
  • Heroic Comedic Sociopath: Jury's out on the "Heroic" part, though.
  • Hollywood Atheist: In "Centricide 3", Nazi finds the Conservative's religiosity annoying and notes how Christianity's praise towards the meek is in direct conflict with his Might Makes Right/Social Darwinist philosophy.
  • Hypocrite: Being a Control Freak, a Consummate Liar and a sociopathic opportunist, he often contradicts himself with no attempts at hiding this.
    • He insists not to be called a Nazi, saying that it "boils [his] blood" when people calling something he isn't (though that is exactly what he is). When asked if he is willing to respect other people's pronouns if others respect his, he laughs at the concept and says that he won't.
    • He thinks that all drugs are degenerate and advocates banning them... except alcohol. Even he doesn't know why.
    • When asked about free speech, he says that it is the cornerstone of society and should be allowed. When the other three extremists start espousing their beliefs, he declares that none of them are allowed free speech.
    • He insists that he doesn't want genocide, only to immediately say that he wants state-backed genocide.
    • In Centricide 8, he has a You're Insane! reaction to corrupted Pan-Africanism wanting to wipe out all continents except for Africa despite the fact he has championed genocide of undesirables for a while.
  • Ignored Epiphany: In "Centricide 6", Conservative reveals to Nazi that he is ethnically Jewish. Rather than having a real moment of self-reflection after his very brief meltdown, he winds up switching gears and immediately starts taking an identitarian position as a Jew and accuses the Conservative of being an anti-Semite when he calls him out on this.
    Nazi: Do you know what this means? My race is clearly superior! Jews have the highest IQ, they're controlling the banks, they're controlling the world, I have the most power in my genes! My race has singlehandedly out-maneuvered every other race! We annihilate opposing cultures while keeping ours intact! Holy Shit! Jewish-Fascism... I can work with it!
    Conservative: Yikes. I was hoping you would become less racist after I told you that.
  • Immediate Self-Contradiction: To present himself as a mere "White Identitarian" who's amenable to reason, he claims in the Political Compass Rap that he doesn't want genocide, just a white ethnostate. But when he's asked what he'd do if the people he doesn't want in his planned ethnostate have no intention of leaving, the solution he suggests is one of the "final" variety.
  • Insistent Terminology: He's not a Nazi, he's just a white identitarian!
  • "It" Is Dehumanizing: When he meets Homonationalist, he demands to know "what" he is and asks Conservative "why is this thing talking to me."
  • Magnetic Hero: If you think he's a hero. He manages to (rather horribly) pull Commie out of his funk after Ancom becomes Post-Left by appealing to their shared indifference to human suffering in the face of realizing their visions for the world. In "Centricide 6", it slowly dawns on Nazi that he is actually really good at radicalizing people, recruiting Conservative (who sees benefits in pooling resources with fascists), Homonationalist (who has an irrational attraction to him) and Moderate Lee (who cowers to Nazi's demand to join him without a fight) all under the span of a few minutes.
  • Nationalism Is Destructive: He is literally Ultranationalism personified and he's the Token Evil Teammate of the Extremists.
  • Nazi Protagonist: He believes in the ideology of Nazism, and is one of the Anti-Centrists.
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed: He's quite reminiscent of Richard Spencer in his avowed atheism (though Spencer is less contemptuous of organized religion) and his attempts to present himself as a "respectable" and "reasonable" advocate for the collective interests of white people.
  • Not-So-Harmless Villain: Most of the stuff he actually does is Poke the Poodle, but he also shoots Conservative in the chest twice. While Conservative turns out to have survived (due to a copy of 12 Rules for Life by Jordan Peterson in his shirt pocket), it was by random chance and the intent was definitely there.
  • Odd Friendship:
    • Centricide 4 sees him becoming surprisingly friendly with Commie, treating him far better than he treats Ancap, in the name of authoritarian unity.
    • Later on, he ends up aligning with Pan-Africanism despite being a white supremacist. This is admittedly Truth in Television given that there have been a few cases of black nationalists and white nationalists collaborating (for instance, George Lincoln Rockwell once shared a stage with Malcolm X and the KKK-aligned Senator Theodore G. Bilbo endorsed Marcus Garvey's push for African-American migration to Liberia).
  • Omnicidal Maniac: Nazi is itching for the chance to start a genocide.
  • Other Me Annoys Me:
    • Is frustrated by Conservative's fondness for the Jewish community and religious sensibilities.
      Conservative: "Uh, Jews are our brothers and sisters."
      Nazi: "... I need to process that."
    • Also is annoyed by Ancap's lack of racism, opposition to statism and focus on profits.
  • Poke the Poodle: While openly genocidal and in favor of violence, thus far most of the things he has done onscreen are stuff like use all the sugar in the extremist household to piss off Commie and eat some of Ancap's bagels. Though he did also shoot Conservative after failing to sway him to his beliefs.
  • Politically Incorrect Hero: He's basically a walking copy of The Turner Diaries.
  • Psychopathic Manchild: He describes his view of what he ultimately wants to happen as taking his ideology and other ideologies and smashing them together like action figures to see who wins.
  • Right-Wing Militia Fanatic: Is far-right, militant and hateful.
  • The Social Darwinist: Sees all non-whites as lesser than him. Also justifies his Poke the Poodle offenses on the basis of Might Makes Right. He even encouraged people to read "On the Origin of Species" (a book that the Nazis hated, by the way).
  • Split Personality: He was possessed by a Gender-Queer person, Wacky Frank, a demon who only said "I am legion" and a normal guy.
  • Strawman Political: Of Totalitarian-Right political ideologies, most notably Nazism.
  • Token Evil Teammate: Well, all the extremes are evil to a degree, but he doesn't even get the frequent cases of Strawman Has a Point that they're given, and lacks the redeeming qualities of even his brother authoritarian Commie. Whether it's due to Jreg invoking Everyone Has Standards since even in-universe the other 3 extremes see him as The Friend Nobody Likes or due to Youtube's actions against even satirical depictions of certain flavors of far-right politics (or both) is up for debate.
  • You Are a Credit to Your Race: When he nearly dies in Centricide 6, he tells Commie that he is an "honorary Aryan".
  • You Are What You Hate: He's a virulent anti-Semite, but Conservative reveals in Centricide 6 that he has significant Jewish heritage.

    Ancap 

Anarchist Right, Anarcho-Capitalist, Ancap, Kulak.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ancap_0.png
"Worst case scenario, I'll just hide underground in my luxury bunker!"

"Wait a second... FREE speech? We're just giving it away? Somebody really needs to monetize this."

An Anarcho-Capitalist businessman who seeks to abolish the state and have society determined by the market. He is united with the other extremists against the centrist menace. For his Pink Capitalist persona, see below in Ancapistan folder


  • Affably Evil: Is rather amicable and personally pleasant, you can almost forget that he has child sex slaves and owns private recreational nukes.
  • Affectionate Nickname: "Kulak" by Commie, though not really affectionate. Doubles as Meaningful Name, since Kulak is a derogatory Russian term for landowners who own large swathes of land. Ancap offhandedly mentions having a luxury bunker and by Centricide 4.5, owns the large and wealthy nation of Ancapistan.
  • Anti-Villain: Noble type. Ancap is an ultra-greedy narcissist who owns child sex slaves, but he has moral reservations about killing people, (unlike the rest of the Anti-Centrists) and will generally not harm you unless you try to harm him.
  • Anthropomorphic Personification: Of Anarcho-Capitalism, or at least the general idea of Libertarian Right-Wing Extremism.
  • Berserk Button: He loathes communism; his second verse in "Welcome to Ancapistan" has him outright saying that he doesn't consider commies human and will nuke them just for holding the beliefs they do. In the context of the actual story, though, he's content with just nickel-and-diming Commie and Nazi with tolls as they walk through his property.
  • Big Damn Heroes: Ancap arrives with a big machine gun just in the nick of time to save Nazi from the corrupted Pan-Africanism and the Impossible Ideology Monster.
  • "Blackmail" Is Such an Ugly Word: When he appears in "Political Compass Rap", he insists that trying to buy a 15-year-old girl as a sex slave is ephebophilia, not pedophilia.
  • Blue-and-Orange Morality:
    • Is very much against murder or assault or theft against others, but sees nothing wrong with using his control of town water supplies to extract tribute from neighboring towns or buying child brides as long as he pays them for their time.
    • While he strongly believes in maximizing his profits, he also insists on paying Ancom for the DMT Ancom gave him.
  • Color-Coded Characters: Yellow. Used to be purple.
  • Corrupt Corporate Executive: His business practices are... questionable to say the least.
  • Early-Installment Weirdness: He used to be colored purple.
  • Every Man Has His Price: The first thing we see him doing when he's introduced is attempting to buy a child bride for $15 (one dollar for every year she's been alive).
    • He justifies having child brides by saying he pays them for their time.
  • Even Evil Has Standards:
    • He finds Nazi's racism and desire to commit genocide appalling.
    • Despite proclaiming that he will discriminate by race if it's profitable, he attempts to downplay and distance himself from Hoppean's racism in Centricide 4.5.
    • He owns stock in Jreg Inc., and fires Posadist when he makes a video "ironically" calling for murdering people by deliberately infecting them with the coronavirus.
    • For the most part, he disdains violence except in self-defense.
  • The Friend Nobody Likes: While the Extremes are volatile by their very natures, the other three are shown to like Ancap the least, with "Centricide 4" giving him a scathing "The Reason You Suck" Speech calling him monstrous by both Commie and Nazi standards. This is the reason why he defects from the group to go do business with Libertarian.
  • Go-Karting with Bowser: Plays cards and does drugs with Ancom sometimes. Which of them is Bowser depends on your ideology.
  • Greed: Being the embodiment of an all-capitalism/no-government political system, everything he says or does is geared towards flaunting his wealth, squeezing whatever wealth he can from others to add to his own and considers such practices to be virtuous.
  • Guns Akimbo: Wields a revolver and a pistol in Centricide 4, which he uses to kill Anti-Extremist.
  • HA HA HA—No: In Centricide 4.5, he has this reaction twice: once when Libertarian suggests there might be a place for some limited government in Ancapistan (since he's a full-blown anarchist), and once when Nazi suggests an alliance (since he no longer sees the need to work with statists or murder centrists due to having already established his ideal society).
  • Heel Realization: In Centricide 4, is subject to multiple speeches condemning him by Commie and Nazi, accusing him of being more monstrous than they are and comes out of them depressed.
  • Hidden Depths: In Centricide 4, he becomes the first extremist to explicitly question the notion of the Centricide and displays considerable agony over whether he is a good person or not, which is something the other extremists tend to take for granted about themselves.
  • Hypocrite:
    • Is regularly accused by Ancom of not being an actual anarchist, on the grounds that unregulated capitalism inevitably leads to hierarchies (which classical left-wing anarchism fundamentally opposes). And his second verse in "Welcome to Ancapistan" has him crowing that communists should be killed on sight, since they aren't people and the NAP shouldn't protect them.
    • For all his insistence that he respects people's rights and his dealings are consensual, he genuinely sees nothing wrong with owning and trading slaves.
  • Idiot Hero: Shown to be less competent than Nazi, Commie or Ancom. Even the centrists don't see him as a threat.
  • Insistent Terminology: In "Political Compass Rap", he insists that wanting to sleep with a 15-year-old is merely "ephebophilia", not pedophilia.
  • Kill the Poor: His least likable quality (apart from his pedophilia) is his contempt for the poor. In "Centricide 3", his solution for Libertaria's homeless population is to have drones "peaceably relocate" them into the ocean, and in "Centricide 4.5" he gets mad when the poor people in Ancapistan appear in his "I Am" Song number, upset that his private police aren't there to arrest them and tells them to "go starve on the streets like [they're] supposed to."
  • Let's Get Dangerous!: When Anti-Radical attacks him with his knife, Ancap responds by pointing out that while he respects the NAP, by attacking him he is now justified in defending himself. He then proceeds to shoot Anti-Radical numerous times.
  • Martial Pacifist: Ancap will do everything he can to avoid actually involving himself in a fight to uphold the non-aggression principle (NAP). When Anti-Radical attacks him, though, he considers this a violation of the NAP and literally guns him down.
  • Millionaire Playboy: Ancap has a lot of money, and will flaunt it in everyone's faces. Among other things, he owns several child sex slaves, the water supplies of several neighboring settlements, the house the other extremists live in and an underground luxury bunker.
  • Not-So-Harmless Villain: He's depicted as being less dangerous than the other three extremists, to the point where the centrists don't consider him a real problem, and the fact that he disdains violence except in self-defense only strengthens this impression. Moreover, he's the sole Anti-Centrist to refuse to kill his more moderate counterpart, letting Libertarian go despite Jreg's orders. But he shows signs of being more of a threat than he appears when he kills Anti-Radical for violating the NAP. Later on, he embraces his ideology's less pleasant aspects and teams up with other anti-government rightists and right-wingers to found a country/society called Ancapistan that oppresses the poor and threatens people with nukes, and also expresses a willingness to murder political dissidents by having them thrown out of helicopters.
  • Odd Friendship: Is depicted as being on relatively good terms with Ancom. He also gets along the best with his more moderate counterpart Libertarian compared to the other extremists, which helps explain why he spares him rather than kill him on Jreg's orders. After all, there hasn't exactly been a notable instance of Ancaps murdering their more moderate counterparts, which can't be said about the other three extremes and their moderate versions. Ultimately, the two go on to jointly found Ancapistan.
  • Other Me Annoys Me: Expresses annoyance with the way Libertarian talks about how full anarcho-capitalism is bad for business by asking if this is how he sounds to the others.
  • Pædo Hunt: A Running Gag (if you could call it that) is his sexual attraction to minors. In "Centricide 2", it is mentioned that he has eight child-wives and that he "pays them for their time". While it is left vague if he is genuinely attracting to kids or if its a "because I can" by-product of his Conspicuous Consumption life-style, the fact that he calls being caught ogling online pictures of children which he is "looking at things [he] is not allowed to look at" and claims that he tried abolishing the age of consent once in "Stop Asking If I'm Okay" hints at the former.
  • Pet the Dog:
    • He allows Libertarian to escape despite Jreg ordering him killed.
    • He actually gives Commie some money and sets him up an investing account, and is genuinely happy and congratulatory when Commie proves to be unexpectedly good at stock trading.
  • Politically Incorrect Hero:
    • Not to the same extent as Nazi, but he occasionally sells slur cards to people. Though he at least justifies his actions by saying that a portion of the profits goes to minority-owned businesses.
    • While he doesn't seem to actually hold racist views and is prone to being uncomfortable with Nazi and Hoppean when they are openly racist, he does say in Centricide 4.5 that he would discriminate against minorities if it were profitable and is undeniably classist as demonstrated by his disregard for Ancapistan's poor.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: In Centricide 4, abandons the Extremists to focus on business with Libertarian.
  • Secretly Selfish: Nazi accuses him of this, stating that Ancap claims he respects other people's rights and is unwilling to break the NAP under this idea to distract from the fact that he encourages a system built on exploitation and suffering.
    Nazi: Your moral code is a blatant contradiction and maybe if you ignored it and started being a selfish person like you know you are, you would actually be a service to this team.
  • Sex Slave: Owns several apparently, all teenaged. He doesn't see anything wrong with this.
    • Slavery Is a Special Kind of Evil: It's indicated through dialogue that he deals in other types of slaves as well. Even Nazi is astonished by his blasé attitude about it.
  • The Stoner: Not to the extent of Ancom, but he's admitted to using cocaine and is shown buying DMT.
  • Strawman Political: Of Libertarian-Right political ideologies, mainly the complete absence of a state in-place of unregulated free-market capitalism.
  • Then Let Me Be Evil: Nazi calls him out for being Secretly Selfish in "Centricide 4" and it clearly has an effect on him, something that is only exacerbated by Commie who mocks him for thinking otherwise. By "Centricide 4.5", he gathers the other right-wing libertarian ideologies - Libertarian, Minarchist and Hoppean - and embraces his political beliefs at their fullest in the form of Ancapistan, basically taking Nazi's advice to be upfront with his selfishness.
  • Token Good Teammate: Is the least violent of the extremists. Additionally, Centricide 4 features him becoming distraught over the possibility that he is a bad person, which indicates a concern with being good that isn't really shared by the other Extremists. He then finds Ancapistan with the other Lib Right ideologies who he has no intention to purge and while's he's embraced Then Let Me Be Evil about a completely free market being hell for a lot of people, he makes it clear he won't go out of his way to harm people who don't cross him.
  • Villain Song: Centricide 4.5 gives us the Ancapistan song, which largely serves as one for him though other members of the libertarian right get verses.
  • Wingding Eyes: While it may or may not just be an artistic flourish for the purposes of the song, the only time he removes his shades is during the Ancapistan musical number, revealing that he literally has dollar signs for eyes.

    Ancom 

Anarchist Left, Anarcho-Communist, Ancom, Anarkiddie, Anarcho-Syndicalist

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/green_jreg.png
"Banks get the Molotov! Racists get the Molotov! White people get the Molotov! Wait- is that racist? Do I get the Molotov?"

"WE GOTTA GET KIDS ON LSD!"

An Anarchist who seeks a communal society of horizontal leadership and no hierarchies. Ancom is united with the other extremists against the centrist menace. He uses que/quem pronouns. For Ancom’s later Post-Left personality see below in the Anarchists folder.


  • Addled Addict: Ancom is a habitual drug user who frequently has violent outbursts, is mentally unstable, relies on welfare checks to get by and has tens of thousands in debt.
  • Affectionate Nickname: "Anarkiddie"by Communist, though how affectionately it's used varies.
  • Anthropomorphic Personification: Of Anarcho-Communism, or at least the general idea of Libertarian Left-Wing Extremism.
  • The Anti-Nihilist: Expresses this attitude on a few occasions, believing that political engagement helps offset the lack of meaning que has in quer personal life.
  • Anti-Villain: Well-Intentioned type. Ancom is insanely violent and willing to beat the shit out of anyone he views as being racist, homophobic or transphobic (even if they really aren't), but is generally presented as the most well-intentioned of the group otherwise despite being quite radical.
  • Ax-Crazy: Qui is deeply unhinged and loves committing brutal acts of violence.
  • Batter Up!: Ancom’s signature weapon is a baseball bat.
  • Berserk Button: FUCKING NAZIS! Meaning anyone who disagrees with the Anarchist Left, including moderates.
  • Bomb Throwing Anarchist: “Banks get the Molotov. Racists get the Molotov. White people get the Molotov. Holy shit, was that racist? Do I get the Molotov”
  • Boomerang Bigot: Ancom has shades of this, given that he gleefully talks about wanting to "beat up a white person" despite being white.
  • The Bus Came Back: Ancom had not appeared in any videos for several months before returning...in Jreg's OnlyFans launch video and saying que would only be present there from now on. However, Ancom has made several appearances in videos on the main channel since then, and eventually made an appearance in Centricide 6.5, and returning to their previous form in Centricide 8: Part 2.
  • Color-Coded Characters: Green, and as Post-Left Anarchist, grayscale.
  • Death of Personality: After being hit Political Nihilist's nihilism beams and beaten within an inch of his life by Ape Political, he emerged as Post-Left Anarchist: an Anarchist in values only but with no more hope for revolution or political change. More or less confirmed by Jreg that as a personality, Ancom is dead even if the person isn't. Ancom doesn't also reappear in the Leftists for Trump Video while even Nihilist spoke from hell, although Post-Leftist wouldn't have a reason to say anything about Bernie dropping out.
    • Ancom later returns, albeit under the term Anarcho-Syndicalist now.
  • Depending on the Writer: The spelling of Ancom’s que/quim pronouns are inconsistent within the series. The YouTube captions spell it "quee/quem", the pronouns shown in "Leftist Infighting" are spelt qi/qim, Fanon seems to spell it qui/quem (or quim), and Post-Left's caption reads "Quem's parents don't understand"note  in "Anarchist Infighting". There's never been an official pronunciation or spelling of Ancom’s possessive pronoun either. Word of God says the spelling is left intentionally ambiguous, as the canon spelling is whatever the viewer wants. This Very Wiki uses que/quem/quer, although it might be inconsistent due to the reasons stated above.
  • Distinction Without a Difference: After many episodes as Post-Left Anarchist, Ancom makes a comeback as Anarcho-Syndaclist. He's identical to his original self as the Anarcho-Communist, but with a different name. Even Commie, who is usually respectful of Ancom when it comes to pronouns to the point of having told Nazi “you will call him, que/quim pronouns or I will send you to the gulag”, still calls quem "Ancom" rather than “An-Syn”.
  • Freudian Excuse: Ancom had a bad relationship with quis father, which is implied to be part of the reason for quis extreme politics and violent behavior.
  • Go-Karting with Bowser: Ancom plays cards and does drugs with Ancap sometimes. Which one is Bowser depends on one's ideology.
  • Green and Mean: Colored green and a violent extremist.
  • Hypocrite:
    • Ancom claims to be opposed to bigotry, but has expressed a willingness to attack members of dominant demographics apparently just for existing.
    • Despite wanting to abolish government, Ancom is perfectly willing to accept money from the government in the form of welfare.
  • Irony:
    • Despite being an embodiment of militant leftism (Commie is too, but is more collected) and generally being presented as the most radical and adamant about imposing his beliefs, Ancom is the first to bail.
    • In "Centricide 8 (Part 3/3)", when he finds out that Nazi was Jewish, Ancom admits that he had a DNA test done and found out he was 100% Aryan. This revelation causes Nazi to put a gun to his own head in frustration.
  • Knight Templar: Ancom is convinced that his ideology is the morally correct one, and that all others are wrong and hideously racist.
  • Late-Arrival Spoiler: Ancom is transformed into Post-Left by Nihilist and Ape-political at the end of episode 3 relatively early on in the series.
  • Motive Rant: Towards the end of Centricide 3, Ancom gives one where he explains how he’s concerned that the world is going to rapidly move towards either far-right wing nationalism or authoritarian-left populism, and wants to create a society where everyone is free by rejecting electoral politics and smashing people's kneecaps.
  • Odd Friendship: Ancom notes that despite having differences with both, he works quite well with both Commie and Ancap at times.
  • Political Overcorrectness: Ancom is often portrayed as a particularly deranged Social Justice Warrior.
    Ancom: I keep telling you Nazi, I use Qui/Quim pronouns.
    Nazi: I will not call you Que/Quem pronoun!
    Commie: You will call him quui/quem pronouns or I will send you to the gulag!
    Ancom: He shouldn’t be forced to use my pronouns, he should want to.
    Nazi: What next? Is he going to identify as an attack helicopter?
    Commie: That is very offensive.
    Ancom: I know. Some of my best friends are copter kin.
  • Psychopathic Manchild: Not nearly as psychopathic as Nazi, but displays a sort of childish glee towards the idea of participating in riots and beating up “Nazis” with a baseball bat. According to the "riots" video, Commie even has a bedtime for Anarkiddy.
  • The Revolution Will Not Be Civilized: Ancom will beat your skull in to achieve an Anarchist utopia.
  • Ship Tease: With Commie in Centricide 4, the Leftist Unity song being similar to a romantic duet.
  • Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Nazi, to the point where Ancom accuses moderates of being Nazis to justify assaulting them. Ancom is shocked and horrified to learn that he is expected to work with him.
  • Smarter Than You Look: Qui may come of as a screechy, dysfunctional maniac, but qui's still intelligent and fairly well-versed in political theory.
  • Some of My Best Friends Are X: Some of Ancom’s best friends are copter-kin, which is why he takes offense to Nazi's "attack helicopter" comments.
  • The Stoner: Is on all sorts of drugs, but weed and LSD are quis go-tos.
  • Strawman Political: Of Libertarian-Left political ideologies, mainly those pertaining to the complete destruction of hierarchies they consider oppressive.
  • Took a Level in Badass: Episode 8 has Ancom return as Anarcho Syndicalist, and is much less whiny, screechy or wimpy, also being able to deliver a rousing speech.
  • Token Good Teammate: At least in the Political Compass Rap, Ancom is framed as having the least morally objectionable positions of any of the extremists. Considering his counterparts favor things like ethnic cleansing, class warfare, and child sex slavery, it's not that hard. Though this is relative, since even Ancom has out-there moments like suggesting giving kids LSD and assaulting anyone to the right of Noam Chomsky for being “Nazis”. This is somewhat deconstructed as Ancom has a clear case of Black-and-White Insanity, with a very big and arbitrary list of who is on the evil side, whilst not being able to see the good in them due to ideological disagreements.
  • Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: Started using LSD at the age of twelve, which explains a lot.
  • Utopia Justifies the Means: Ancom considers mass death and destruction is a small price to pay for a society without oppression or discrimination.
  • Villainous Friendship:
    • Even though communists have a habit of turning on anarchists, Commie and AnCom were very close. After Political Nihilist and Apepolitical turn AnCom into Post-Left, even Nazi comments on how distraught Commie seems by the loss of his comrade.
    • Ancom and Ancap are also prone to getting along, largely since an ancom and ancap society door to door tend not to pose threats to each other as opposed to authoritarian ideologies that are actively expansionist.

    Commie 

Totalitarian Left, Communist, Tankie.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/red_jreg.png
"Hello, I am Communist. Real one, not revisionary."

"It is the institution that hosts the far-right, so it should be the institution that gets rid of the far-right... and the right... and the liberals... and the moderate left..."

A Communist with the goal of creating a global revolution for working-class people everywhere. He is united with the other extremists against the centrist menace. Fond of secret police and gulags.


  • Affectionate Nickname: "Tankie" by Ancom, though how affectionately it's used varies.
  • The Aloner: Unlike his Extremist brothers, Commie never forms a subfaction of other authoritarian leftists to explore the fullness of his ideology. This may be a reflection of his rejection of "revisionism" and the real-life problems communist movements experience with ideological infighting.
  • Anthropomorphic Personification: Of Communism, or at least the general idea of Authoritarian Left-Wing Extremism.
  • Became Their Own Antithesis: When he tries to prove to Ancap that he isn't just against capitalism because he is bad at it, he ends up earning a LOT of money from the stock market. He initially tries burning it...but makes the money back charging people to view it.
  • Big Eater: Even when rations are low, he makes sure he gets enough to eat... purely for the good of the state of course. He also steals and redistributes Ancap's bagels.
  • The Brute: Physically seems to be the strongest of the extremists, capable of snapping the necks of his enemies and beating up Ape-Political with his bare hands.
  • Chummy Commies / Dirty Communists: He hates both Nazi and Ancap, but is a good friend of Ancom despite their disagreements.
  • Color-Coded Characters: Red.
  • Drowning My Sorrows: Is shown to be drinking at the start of Centricide 8 to cope with the loss of his friends.
  • Everyone Has Standards: While Commie idolizes Joseph Stalin, he doesn't share the latter's beliefs about Jewsnote  as shown in Centricide 5, where he briefly gets into an argument with Nazi when he says that Jews are behind Capitalism.
  • Genius Bruiser: Not only is he strong enough to kill a gorilla with his bare hands, he's also intelligent enough to hold a thorough understanding of complex political and socioeconomic concepts. While all the extremists are fairly cerebral to one degree or another, this trait is arguably most prominent in him.
  • Glorious Mother Russia: Has a noticeable Russian accent.
  • Good Old Fisticuffs: While all his allies have a weapons, Commie prefers bare-knuckle brawling, and is strong enough to kill gorillas with his bare hands and punch down doors.
  • Gratuitous Russian: Occasionally uses Russian words as nicknames for the other extremists (sans Ancom, whom he calls "Anarkiddie").
  • Hammer and Sickle: His hat has the logo on it.
  • The Heavy: While Jreg is the one in charge of the extremists, it's Communist whose actions play the most direct role in shaping the plot.
  • Heel Realization: After Ancom becomes Post-Left, he starts doing some soul-searching, reading about left-communism and wondering if his old friend has a point. It's implied he might be mellowing into a less-brutally authoritarian version of himself, before Nazi talks him out of it by appealing to authoritarian unity.
  • Husky Russkie: Physically speaking, he appears to be the strongest extremist.
  • Hypocrite:
    • One of the reasons he has problems with Ancom is because he considers quem a revisionist. However, he gets angry at Socialist in part for saying they shouldn't be supporting China and North Korea, neither of which follow an orthodox view of Marxism.note 
    • Despite his anti-capitalist views, he expresses support for censorship by tech companies in "Leftist Infighting".
  • Irony: While Commie is a collectivist ideology, by the end of "Centricide 7" he becomes the only ideology that doesn't end up joining a collective of his own, Nazi making an International Union of Nationalists, Ancom (Post-Left at the time) joining the Left-Wing Anarchist Commune and Ancap founding Ancapistan with the Right-Wing Anarchists. This is presumably due to his hatred of revisionism causing him to reject other forms of Marxism or Leninism, an infamous issue real-life communist movements frequently face.
  • Moral Myopia: He has no problem with Ancom making unsubstantiated accusations of racism... until said accusations are directed at him.
  • Mother Russia Makes You Strong: While he lacks the "boorish roughneck" characterization this trope usually implies, Commie is otherwise the only Extremist with an obvious national identity via his Russian accent, and a fearsome fighter with his bare hands while all his allies rely on weapons.
  • Neck Snap: Inflicts this on Socialist and Progressive.
  • The Nicknamer: Calls Ancom 'Anarkiddie' and Ancap 'Kulak'.
  • No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Gave one to Ape Political to try and save Ancom. He was too late.
  • No True Scotsman: He holds that true communism has yet to be fully realized and that all of the modern and historical examples are all plagued with impurities of capitalism and/or revisionism. This is probably why, while all his brother extremists have various other forms of themselves explored (as in Ancapistan or the Anarchist commune), the closest thing he has to a sub-ideology is Posadism, who's explicitly a joke.
  • Not-So-Harmless Villain: Mostly seems to just be dramatic and actually fairly Affably Evil, but he personally kills two of the moderates—for comparison, Nazi only tried killing one and actually failed to do so.
  • Odd Friendship: He and Ancom get along fairly well in spite of Commie's unfortunate tendency to start killing anarchists and Ancom's outspoken opposition to statism and hierarchies. When Ancom turns into Post-Left Anarchism and leaves the cause, Commie is visibly shaken by his absence.
  • Offing the Annoyance: Kills Socialist out of irritation.
  • Other Me Annoys Me:
    • Gets frustrated by his more moderate counterpart Socialist and so he kills him.
    • Also finds some of Ancom's antics annoying as well and strongly disagrees with his fixation on identity politics and opposition to government.
  • Red Is Violent: He's colored red and shown to be a savage killer.
  • The Revolution Will Not Be Civilised: Communist will be sure that the rich will be eaten in his utopia, something that he shares with Ancom. When the Socialist explained that he believed in a long-term, peaceful form of revolution, Commie was so disgusted with him that he snapped his neck instantly.
  • Russian Fashion: Wears a long coat and an ushanka.
  • Russian Guy Suffers Most: He is the one that takes the most damage in battles with the Centrists and by Centricide 8, has lost of all his friends one way or another.
  • Ship Tease: With Ancom in Centricide 4, the Leftist Unity song being similar to a romantic duet.
  • Strawman Political: Of Totalitarian-Left political ideologies, mainly Marxist communism.
  • Villain with Good Publicity: Openly admits to supporting Ancom's social justice crusading only to look good.
  • Villainous Friendship:
    • Even though communists have a habit of turning on anarchists, Commie and AnCom were very close. When Political Nihilist and Apepolitical turn AnCom into Post-Left, Commie is clearly distraught by it.
    • Ends up on rather friendly terms with Nazi in Centricide 4 as a result of authoritarian unity after Ancom leaves.
  • Why We Are Bummed Communism Fell: He's sad that the Soviet Union capitulated, but he's got a good feeling about the next time communism (particularly Marxism-Leninism) is tried.
  • Working-Class Hero: Though it's debatable how "heroic" he actually is, he certainly sees himself as a shining example of the archetypal Soviet hero.
  • Your Approval Fills Me with Shame: When Nazi, on the brink of death, says he's an 'honorary Aryan,' Commie sardonically remarks that he's making it easier to not be sad about his death.

    JReg Gaming 

JReg Gaming, JReg

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sqiw1_iv_400x400.jpg
"Once the centrists are gone, everybody will have no choice but to watch me play Resident Evil."

A largely unrelated gaming channel mentioned several times who shows up in "Centricide 6", which reveals he is the true leader of the anti-centrists. Except not really.


  • Adam Westing: He actually plays himself in "Centricide 6" and is the first other YouTuber to cameo on the channel.
  • Bait-and-Switch: During Jreg's silver play button unboxing, Jreg becomes despondent on realizing the button spells his name as JReg's.
  • The Dog Was the Mastermind: His cameo appearance in "Centricide 6" has him initially identified by Jreg as the true leader of the anti-centrist movement. Though this is ultimately subverted.
  • Joke Character: Despite being the Anti-Centrists' true leader, he does not last long, getting killed off by Radical Centrist with ease. This makes more sense when Jreg reveals that his claim of being the real mastermind was a deception intended to buy time until the Wackies arrive.
  • Not in This for Your Revolution: He doesn't have much of an ideological stake in the anti-centrist cause; his reason for supporting anti-centrism is so that, in a centrist-free world, everyone will be free to not care about politics and watch his gaming content instead.
  • Not So Similar: To Apepolitical oddly enough in a weird way. Both want to destroy a political group due to not wanting to care about politics in some way. Apepolitical wants to destroy the extremes as they tend to be more politically charged while centrists and moderates don't tend to make politics a huge part of their life since they're content, and thus an extreme-free world means less people talking about politics. JReg Gaming meanwhile wants to eradicate the centrists because once centrist politics are gone, which the majority of the world adheres to (at least in the West), a large segment of the population will be instead have nothing better to do than watch his gaming videos.
  • The Power of Apathy: Unlike Apepolitical who wants to use this power against a minority of rowdy extremes, he instead believes that this should be used against the centrists which most of the world adheres to, as depriving them of their politics means a massive audience who will instead occupy their time watching his gaming videos.
  • Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Occupies this role in most videos he comes up in.

    The Yale Journal on Regulation 

The Yale Journal on Regulation, JREG

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yalejournal.png
"It's me, the Yale Journal on Regulation. Bow before my prowess."

A biannual student-edited law review covering regulatory and administrative law published at Yale Law School. It is revealed to be the truly true leader of the anti-centrists. Except, again, not really.


  • Joke Character: Slightly exaggerated. Its purpose is to further stall for time.
  • Red Shirt: Only exists to get killed by Radical Centrist. It serves as the final stall before Commie and the Wackies arrive.
  • We Hardly Knew Ye: Is introduced in Centricide 6. Is killed by Radical Centrist 10 seconds later.

Centrists

Ideologies who represent Centrism who rule the world by way of the status quo. They are the enemies of the Anti-Centrists and of the Council of Wacky Ideologies.

    In General 
  • Anthropomorphic Personification: All serve as the personifications of the various centrist ideologies, all of them united in Status Quo Is God for one reason or another.
  • Golden Mean Fallacy: The one thing that unites them all.
  • Myopic Conqueror: While the Extremists each have actual ambitions that are arguably looking to improve the world in their own way, all the Centrists care about is staying in power and doing nothing with it other than maintaining the status quo.
    Radical Centrist: One by one we are going to dismantle Team Extreme, and then we will tighten Centrism's grasp around the world.
    Libertarian: Tighten your grasp? And then what?
    Radical Centrist: Oh, Libertarian. Once we are in power, we are going to enact a wide sweeping plan we have been planning for millennia.
    Libertarian: Tell me!
    Radical Centrist: Once the world is under Centrist command, we. Are going to do. Nothing!
    Libertarian: [gasp] Oh, wait, no. Yeah, that makes sense actually.
  • The Power of Apathy: Considering Political Nihilist, Apepolitical and Anti-Radical have the power to make opposing ideologies more centrist by different means, it can be reasoned that all of the centrists are able to do this.
  • Skewed Priorities: With the exception of Radical Centrist - an ideology that exists to make sure the other ideologies work together - all of the other Centrists are often too caught up in their one defining character quirk that it is a miracle that they've stayed in power this long. Horseshoe Centrist only ever says that two different things are actually exactly the same and never contributes anything else, Moderate Lee is obsessed with correcting other people on what they say regardless if it is important, Anti-Radical is such a total slave to his Berserk Button that he will threaten anything he dubs too extreme (even if it's Radical Centrist's call to arms with the other centrists) and both Political Nihilist and Ape-political are more interested in letting you know that they don't care about the cause they signed up for.

    Radical Centrist 

Radical Centrist

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/radical_centristpng.png
"We're faced with certain doom and all you can do is sit around and bicker about nothing? This is exactly how we deal with climate change and immigration!"

"If we're gonna beat them, our centrism... is gonna have to be radical."

The head of the League of Anti-Anti Centrists. While overall a centrist, he is willing to take strong positions and decisive action when he deems it necessary.


  • All Your Powers Combined: In "Centricide 6", he is shown to have the power to use all of the collected powers of the other centrists. “Centricide 6.25” shows he can steal other ideologies’ powers, which is how he defeats the Wackies.
  • Anthropomorphic Personification: Radical Centrist is the embodiment of Radical Centrism, or political activism with interchangeably left and right values. He flat-out admits that he exists specifically to whip the other centrists into action.
  • Evil Counterpart/Good Counterpart: To Jreg depending on whose side you support.
  • False Flag Operation: In "Centricide 6", it is revealed that he killed the Dead Centrist in order to rally the other centrists into-action when he foresaw the threat of Anti-Centrism.
  • Heel–Face Turn: In the end of Centricide 7/start of Centricide 8, Radical Centrist decides to merge with Jreg to form Accelerationist, the ultimate Big Bad of the series.
  • The Leader: He is in charge of the League of Anti-Anti Centrists.
  • Making a Spectacle of Yourself: He wears triangular bright pink and green sunglasses.
  • Mr. Exposition: Most of the information about Jreg's nature in the Centricide series is based on what he tells the other centrists.
    • In "Centricide 4", he explains to Libertarian how the Centrists are in fact upholding the ideology of neoliberalism and that by becoming the avatar of that ideology, Libertarian will far exceed the centrists or the Extremists in power due to it being both a centrist and extremist ideology.
  • Necessarily Evil: Being the embodiment of utilizing radical means to enforce moderate ends, it's no surprise that Radical Centrist is willing to do some bad for what he sees as a greater good, much like the radicals his faction opposes. Notably, this extends to drawing first blood on his own side, by killing Dead Centrist to galvanize the others into action.
  • Personality Powers: Being the personification of ideological flexibility from the center, his signature ability is to copy the powers and weapons of other ideologies, whether they're extremists out to get him or his fellow centrists.
  • Power Copying: In "Centricide 6.25", Radical Centrist is shown to have this ability, taking on the various characteristics and powers of the Wacky Ideologies to beat the wackies.
  • Sole Survivor: By the end of "Centricide 6", he is the only member of the Centrists still active, with the others being killed off or forced to convert.
  • Split at Birth: It is strongly implied that Jreg and Radical Centrist where a single entity in "Centricide 6", having split to represent Extremism and Centrism when ideologies diversified into what would become the political compass.
  • Surrounded by Idiots: Has this attitude towards the rest of the centrists.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: Especially ironic in this case. When it is revealed in "Centricide 6" that he killed the Dead Centrist to spur the other Centrists into action, he claimed that he did it because he saw it as the only way to protect centrism from the incoming Extremist threat, seeing the sacrifice of the rest of his allies dying as Necessarily Evil.

    Horseshoe Centrist 

Horseshoe Centrist

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/horseshoe_centrist.png
"Well, the way I see it, there's no difference between ____ and ____."

"Can't you see? You're all the same to me!"

The embodiment of Horseshoe Theory. Looks like a cowboy and regards any two extremes as identical no matter how illogical that is.


  • Almighty Idiot: In "Centricide 4", Radical Centrist offhandedly remarks that the Horseshoe Centrist is the "most powerful of us all", yet in action, he seems to be the most useless. He never contributes anything to the conversations he is a part of other than saying two things are the same and he was the only Centrist sent to recruit a Moderate that never even attempted to do their job. His power is later demonstrated in "Centricide 5" when he is able to fight off Commie and Nazi by himself with minimal effort, Nazi and Commie have to summon Nazbol to fight him off.
  • Catchphrase: "The way I see it, there's no difference between [X] and not [X]" is said a lot by this character.
  • Cowboy: Dresses and talks like one.
  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: For most of the series comes off as a ridiculous, incompetent buffoon who is generally useless and relies on Insane Troll Logic, but in Centricide 5 he reveals he has vast power because the very notion of the Centricide where every extreme is on the same team has proven him right.
  • The Cuckoolander Was Right: Well, only sort of, but his true power is able to be exploited because the very notion of all extremists teaming up to defeat centrism proves his point right.
  • Dumbass Has a Point: Communist ends up begrudgingly accepting that he and Nazi are similar in many respects, which demonstrates that Horseshoe Centrist's ideas do have some validity, even if he uses Horseshoe Theory where it really doesn't apply.
  • Gray-and-Gray Insanity: For him, every kind of opposite or extreme action/ideology is the same thing when it boils down to it. Naturally, this becomes complete insanity when he describes having no civil rights as the same thing as having civil rights, for no rational explanation beyond the fact that they stand in "opposition to each other".
  • The Horseshoe Effect: Strongly believes in this idea and takes it to ludicrous extremes. Or maybe not quite so ludicrous, given later events.
  • Insane Troll Logic: How else can you describe believing that there is no difference between having civil rights and not having civil rights? This turns out to be to his benefit when he is able to attack both remaining members of Team Extreme because he literally believes there is no difference between them before being defeated via Logic Bomb by Nazbol.
  • Let's Get Dangerous!: In "Centricide 5" he reveals his true potential power level when Nazi and Commie invade the Centrist Center.
  • Literal-Minded: Actually has a horseshoe on him at all times.
  • Manly Facial Hair: Sports a literal horseshoe mustache, both to underscore his beliefs and to reinforce his masculine cowboy image.
  • Mind over Matter: His horseshoe can function like a magnet/tractor beam, which he uses to pull Nazi's gun out of his hand and into his own before emptying it into the extremist, while claiming there's absolutely no way to tell whether he's shooting a Nazi or a communist because they're exactly the same. He also throws Commie around, wiggling his horseshoe in direct opposition to the direction Commie is being flung.
  • Not-So-Harmless Villain: He mostly comes off as a goof who thinks any two opposites are actually basically the same thing, no matter how blatantly untrue that might be. But then he turns out to be far more dangerous than he seems, as Nazi and Commie find out the hard way.
  • The Power of Apathy: His musical number, giving him whatever nuance he deserves, explains that his incarnation of centrism comes from seeing extremist aggression as repulsive, and a reason to lump in anyone and everyone using it as all the same.
  • Strawman Political: Takes Horseshoe Theory up a notch by outright saying that he does not see the difference between any two ideals — or even between attending a meeting and not attending it.
  • Too Dumb to Live: He never gets around to trying to convince the Conservative to join the centrists because he thinks that Conservative and Nazi are both conservatives and dubs them irrelevant.
  • Villain Song: "All The Same To Me" is Horseshoe Centrist pointing out how similar Nazi and Commie are as he easily kicks their asses.

LET'S NOT BE TOO HASTY HERE

"Radical Centrist, that plan is so reasonable, it might just maybe potentially work, probably, I don't know, don't quote me on that."

A centrist who unfailingly insists upon adopting the middle ground in regards to anything and everything.


  • Actual Pacifist: Being the embodiment of compromising centrism, Moderate Lee will find every excuse not to involve himself in conflict, whether it involves de-escalation by way of meeting both sides halfway, pretending there isn't a problem, proposing to wait for someone else to take care of it or just flat-out running away.
  • Dirty Coward: He joins Nazi's Right-Wing solidarity group the moment Nazi threatens him without a fight, claiming that he was only a part of the Centrists because he was too afraid to fight back against them.
    • Cowardly Lion: To be fair to him, he later shows up with an M16 to help the Extremists defeat Accelerationism.
  • Golden Mean Fallacy: While all centrists have this problem to some extent, he seems especially prone to insisting that the middle ground is always automatically the best solution.
  • His Name Really Is "Barkeep": According to him, his full name is actually "Moderate Lee".
  • Not in This for Your Revolution: As shown in Centricide 6, he didn't really care for the centrists cause of fighting against the extremists, joining them out of fear from retaliation and quickly joins up Nazi's team the second his life is threatened by him.
  • Not So Similar: To Anarcho-Pacifism, who refuses to engage in violence out of high-minded principle and idealism rather than rank cowardice.
  • Not Your Problem: Shrugs off the threat posed by the extremists by reasoning that somebody more capable than him or his fellow centrists will take care of the problem.
  • Punny Name: His name is a pun on "Moderately", with "Lee" being his last name.
  • Sole Survivor: By Centricide 8, he's the last member of the Centrists still alive, as he chose to collaborate with Nazi instead of attempting to help Radical Centrist.
  • Screw This, I'm Out of Here!: Has this reaction when Nazi and Commie show up at the Centrist Center and again when the Impossible Ideology Monster gets into the International Union of Nationalists' headquarters.
  • Strawman Political: Of those who prefer to compromise on the fence over actually picking a side.

    Political Nihilist 

Political Nihilist

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2020_01_26_at_94208_pm.png
"Stop caring about shit!"

"If you kept up with all of his videos over all of his platforms, you'd know that his political ideology was exactly the same as mine."

An apathetic, moody figure who believes politics is pointless because nothing ever will really change.


  • Big "NO!": When Ancom defeats him and he disappears into oblivion.
  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: While disaffected, when he gets off his ass to actually do something he can shoot lightning beams at his opponents, which he uses to push Ancom into becoming Post-Leftist.
  • Emo Teen: Aesthetically resembles this trope.
  • Guyliner: Fitting for his "emo" look.
  • Killed Off for Real: Ancom kills him, and one appearance later has Jreg confirm he was speaking from hell.
  • Leaning on the Fourth Wall: He describes Jreg as being a character who is layered in irony as he is in real life and claims Greg is actually a fellow political nihilist. In-universe, however, he is mistaken.
  • The Power of Apathy: Coupled with Ape Political's attacks, Political Nihilist's nihilism beams were able to suck Ancom of all of his passion and turning him into Post-Left.
  • Put on a Bus to Hell: Jreg states that the Political Nihilist was speaking from Hell in "#LeftistsForTrump", confirming his Killed Off for Real fate.
  • Straw Nihilist: Embodies this trope.
  • Strawman Political: To those who believe that engaging directly into politics in any way is a fruitless endeavor and is best not-engaged.

    Ape Political 

Ape Political

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2020_01_26_at_94215_pm.png
(Animalistic groaning and grunting)

A large gorilla-like ape who is against discussing politics and ideology and has a tendency to beat up people who express opinions on such matters.


  • Berserk Button: Anyone expressing a political belief at all is this for him.
  • The Brute: Physically the strongest of the centrists, though which trope he falls under better is a matter of perspective.
  • The Power of Apathy: He seems to share this power with Political Nihilist, Nihilist's nihilism beams and Ape Political's physical assaults robbing Ancom of his passion and turning him into Post-Left.
  • Strawman Political: His name is an obvious pun on "Apolitical", or the rejection of being involved with politics. Considering his main thing is violently beating up anybody who expresses their political opinions, he seems to represent the militant side of this.
  • Token Non-Human: While he is an ideology like the rest of the characters of Centricide, Ape Political is the only one of the centrists to be not represented by a human, instead he's, well, an ape.
  • The Unintelligible: Communicates solely in ape-like grunts.

    Anti-Radical 

Anti-Radical, Anti-Extremist

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/antiradicalpng.png
"Did you just say extreme? I'll gut you like a fish!"

"I was the brave force telling those people looking for civil rights that they were looking for civil rights too extremely!"

A rather irritable centrist. Rejects any form of an extreme idea or thought on principle alone.


  • Awesome Aussie: A knife-wielder from down under who has the power to make ideologies less extreme.
  • Ax-Crazy: He is willing to pull his knife on anyone who is the slightest bit extreme regardless of context. Judging by his reaction when Ancap invades the Overton window, he takes great pleasure in killing them and welcomes the chance to meet extremists just to kill them (or at least make them less extreme with violence).
  • Berserk Button: Anything he regards as extreme makes him angry. Including the word 'extreme'.
  • The Bogan: Crude, violent, and has an Australian accent.
  • Eyepatch of Power: Has one of these.
  • He Who Fights Monsters: In his quest to battle extremism, he engages in some very extreme tactics.
  • Hypocrite: He despises extremism, yet he himself is willing to commit extreme violence in order to prevent it.
  • Killed Off for Real: In Centricide 4 after violating the NAP against Ancap.
  • Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: Has an Australian Accent, and not a very good one at that.
  • The Power of Apathy: Much like Political Nihilist and Apepolitical, Anti-Radical has the power to make ideologies more centrist. In his case, his knife is lined with venom that makes any ideology less extreme, nearly turning both Ancap and Libertarian into Neo-Liberals before Ancap kills him.
  • Psycho Knife Nut: He's a deranged, violent maniac who won't hesitate to use his blade against anyone and everyone he considers too extreme.
  • Strawman Political: Of those with a knee-jerk opposition against extremist ideologies or extreme actions, regardless of why they would act "extreme" or who in the conflict is acting in such a way.
  • Token Evil Teammate: Notably more violent and bloodthirsty than the other centrists, who are usually too apathetic/confused/contradictory to do anything and don't have particularly violent instincts.

Moderates

The ideologies who stand at the edge of the Overton window.

    In General 
  • All-Powerful Bystander: A case can be argued that the Moderates are some of the most powerful of the ideologies due to how overwhelmingly popular the political views they embody are, hence why both the Centrists and Anti-Centrists were so invested in recruiting them for their war. However, they all have a live/let live position in contrast to the other groups - the Centrists hellbent at maintaining the status quo and the Anti-Centrists running on various shades of Black-and-White Insanity - and are uninterested in joining with either cause. Libertarian is the only exception to this, and he only joined the Centrists out of self-preservation.
  • Anthropomorphic Personification: The Four moderates are the personifications of the most favored universal ideologies; Conservatism, Progressivism, Libertarianism, and Socialism. Because they are so universal, both the Anti-Centrists and the Centrists all try and buy their support in the Centricide.
  • Egopolis: The Conservative lives in Conservatopia and Libertarian lives in Libertaria. Odds are the same applies to the Progressive and the Socialist.
  • The Friends Who Never Hang: No two moderates are ever seen which each other, undermining the idea they are even a faction. In real life, the four of them represent the main political parties one can vote for in a conventional liberal election, and given the divisive nature of electoralism, they never feel the need to cross paths with each other. Extremists and other fringe ideologies tend to interact or form fronts with each other to expand their already small numbers.
  • Good Counterpart: Each of them are counterparts to each extremist and are depicted as being more reasonable than their counterparts. Socialist is this for Commie, Conservative for Nazi, Progressive for Ancom and Libertarian for Ancap.
  • Neutrality Backlash: When Conservative, Progressive, and Socialist refuse to join either side in the Centricide, Commie and Nazi have them all killed under Jreg's orders. Since Ancap lacks the violent tendencies that are shared by the other extremists, he lets Libertarian go when he is ordered to kill him too.
  • Take a Third Option: Are neither centrists nor extremists, instead embodying the world's more mainstream ideologies.

    Conservative 

Conservative, Christian Conservative

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/conservative.png
"God is where I find my strength, although right now I'm actually just praying to Jordan B. Peterson."

"I don't care what the left thinks. I'm a conservative, I want to conserve."

The embodiment of conservative ideology. Religiously devout and right-wing, but unlike Nazi, he tolerates the existence of people of different religious, ethnic and cultural backgrounds.


  • Bait-and-Switch: He's introduced praying in a Church. It's revealed shortly after he's praying to Dr. Jordan Peterson rather than the Christian God.
  • Church of Saint Genericus: There's never any mention of what denomination he is. It's likely that he is White Protestant considering it is the #1 Christian denomination practiced by Conservative North Americans and the rest of the Anglosphere, though it's also equally likely that he adheres to a fictional denomination that treats Jordan Peterson as one of its saints.
  • Color-Coded Characters: Blue, though he isn't tinted nearly as harshly as Nazi.
  • Enlightened Self-Interest: Despite being a homophobe and finding Nazi's Social Darwinist talking-points disturbing, he is fully willing to work with Nazi and Homonationalist so they could all benefit from their collective solidarity.
  • Entendre Failure: Mistakenly believes that Homonationalist and Nazi are related because the former keeps calling the latter "Daddy."
  • Everyone Has Standards: While he's not exactly fond of Muslims, blacks or LGBT people, he's still opposed to Nazi's desire to persecute them.
  • Foil:
    • He is Nazi's moderate counterpart. They are both fundamentally against the left (Conservative even accusing Fascism of being a left-wing ideology to justify his own disagreements with it), they support maintaining culture and have a general dislike towards black people and the LGBT community. Where they disagree is that Conservative prefers a live/let live stance towards blacks and gays, and also considers Jews to be his "brothers and sisters" while Nazi wants to exterminate them and Conservative is a devout Christian while Nazi is a Hollywood Atheist.
    • In general, Conservative highlights the more positive elements of traditionalism unlike culturally far-right ideologies like Hoppean and Anfash.
  • Hypocrite: While he claims to be a devout Christian, he literally worships Jordan Peterson, a clear violation of one of Christianity's most basic tenets.
  • Insane Troll Logic: He plans to march in the Straight Pride Parade because people are accusing him of being a Nazi for having pro-life views.
    Nazi: Oh my dead-god, I forgot that moderate's culture warring was the worst kind of culture warring.
  • Insistent Terminology: If you are talking about Jordan Peterson, you better call him Dr. Jordan Peterson.
  • Killed Off for Real: Nazi kills him after failing to sway him. Or at least he thought that, both his copy of 12 Rules for Life and the Bible blocking the bullets.
  • The Medic: He was able to heal Nazi when he was on the brink of death in "Centricide 6".
  • Morality Pet: Jewish people are this for him—the earliest point where he makes clear he strongly disagrees with Nazi is when he declares that the Jews are his brothers and sisters.
  • Noble Bigot: He has negative views of LGBT people, Muslims, and black people, but still respects their right to exist in society and hates Nazi's desire to genocide them.
  • Pet the Dog: Is a bigot, but is content to let people live as they wish in a democracy. This is what separates him immensely from Nazi.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Gives one to Nazi explaining that he will never give in to him given that it would just prove his opponents right to liken him to Nazi already.
  • Then Let Me Be Evil: Nazi points out that many leftists will call him a Nazi no matter how he chooses to identify or how different his actual policy ideas are from Nazism, and suggests he just become one since they'll never accept him anyway. Conservative, however, refuses to let other peoples' dislike of him make him a worse person.
  • Token Good Teammate: The only culturally right-wing ideology that doesn't want to exterminate the people he hates, although that's easy for him to achieve given that the other ideologies are just annoying when culturally-left, culturally apathetic or genocidal if culturally-right.
  • Token Religious Teammate: The only right-wing ideology depicted as being religious. The Conservative-world is full of churches. Though apparently many of them are dedicated to Dr. Jordan Peterson rather than Jesus Christ.
  • We Hardly Knew Ye: Subverted on all accounts. He actually has a solid debate with Nazi to show how different they are before getting shot, and it's revealed in Centricide 6 that he survived.

    Libertarian 

Libertarian

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2020_01_26_at_94547_pm.png
"I'm in the middle of selling arms to a foreign government and abolishing all governments would be very detrimental to my profits."

"Riiiight, and who's gonna enforce that non-aggression pact you like so much?"

Ancap's more moderate counterpart. Eager to make money, but still wants a minimal government to handle law, order, and defense.


  • Beleaguered Assistant: He has essentially been turned into this by "Centricide 4.5", having been scammed into buying Ancap's old clothes at a premium price, the nation they co-founded having been named after Ancap and not him and being run as a Privately Owned Society (something that he has expressly said he did not want in "Centricide 3").
  • Color-Coded Characters: Yellow, though not nearly as harshly as Ancap.
  • Corrupt Corporate Executive: Sells weapons to foreign governments and has shredded the welfare state in his realm.
  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Centricide 4 reveals he has the power to become the avatar of neoliberalism, the world's dominant ideology. If he does so, he will have more power than any extremist or centrist as neoliberalism simultaneously is extremist and centrist in nature.
  • Dirty Coward: Openly says he's worried that homeless people (which his society has a lot of, likely due to the lack of welfare) will stab him if police are privatized.
  • Enemy Mine: Joins forces with the Centrists after Jreg attempts to have him killed. Of course, in some political spectrums Libertarians are centrists due to being socially center left and economically center right. And sure enough, the Centrists are ultimately aiming to transform him into Neoliberal, the embodiment of the status quo they are seeking to uphold.
  • Foil: He is Ancap's moderate counterpart. While Ancap believes that all governments should be abolished and replaced with a Privately Owned Society, Libertarian finds profit in established governments (mainly selling weapons to foreign states) and benefits from some socialized institutions (like having state-funded police keeping the homeless from attacking him).
  • High-Class Glass: Wears a monocle.
  • Neutral No Longer: Joins the Centrists after Ancap allows him to escape death for not joining the extremists.
  • Pragmatic Villainy: He opposes Ancap's Privately Owned Society dreams because he worries private police won't be able to protect him and because he profits from selling arms to governments.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Since Neoliberals are more socially leftist and a little more interventionist than he'd like to be, he has some second thoughts about being the Avatar of Neoliberal and escapes the Centrist Center with Ancap after he rescues him and goes on to join him in founding Ancapistan.
  • Token Evil Teammate: While not all that evil, he's this to the Moderates, considering he's a Corrupt Corporate Executive just like his extremist counterpart, just with a more pragmatic approach, while Progressive and Socialist are more peaceful versions of Ancom and Commie respectively and Conserverative is a Noble Bigot.
  • Villainous Friendship: Strikes one with Ancap, because even though they disagree on having a state, the two of them don't find that enough of a reason to hate and purge each other, especially when there's shady money to be made.
  • Villain Song: The Ancapistan song verse he sings is about the inhabitants of Ancapistan exploiting their workers.

    Progressive 

Progressive, Libertarian-Socialist

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/progressivepng.png
"Dude, I have got to stop smoking so much."

"Do you have something you maybe wanna work out over a cup of tea?"

The moderate counterpart to Ancom. Favors gradual reform and peaceful means to achieve social change rather than violence.


  • Color-Coded Characters: Green, though not as intensely as Ancom.
  • A Day in the Limelight: He appears with Socialist in "Here's How Bernie Can Still Win". The two try to figure out a way Bernie Sanders can become president.
  • Foil: He is Ancom's moderate counterpart. While Ancom believes in implementing social equality through fast, violent revolution, the Progressive believes in more gradual, peaceful methods.
  • I Need a Freaking Drink: Says he needs to get high after witnessing the beginning of the fight between Political Nihilist and Ancom.
  • Killed Off for Real: Is caught and killed by Commie after escaping Political Nihilist and Ancom.
  • Not So Above It All: In his appearance in 'Here's How Bernie Can Still Win', he ends up assassinating Joe Biden on Socialist's orders.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Decides to leave during the confrontation between Ancom and Political Nihilist. It leads to him getting caught and killed by Commie.
  • We Hardly Knew Ye: Gets killed off without much development compared to the other characters, especially the moderate rightists.
  • Yank the Dog's Chain: Avoids harm at the hands of Ancom or Political Nihilist, only to be caught and executed by Commie.

    Socialist 

Socialist

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2020_01_26_at_94755_pm.png
"While we should have a government to help people out, it's not really reasonable to be praising places like North Korea and China."

"Just because I'm less extreme than you doesn't mean I don't have values."

Commie's more moderate counterpart. Wants to ultimately abolish capitalism, but opposes violent, rapid revolution due to the suffering it would cause.


  • Color-Coded Characters: Red, though not as harshly as Commie.
  • A Day in the Limelight: He appears with Progressive in "Here's How Bernie Can Still Win". The two try to figure out a way Bernie Sanders can become president.
  • Early Installment Character-Design Difference: In his original debut (and death) in Centricide 3, he wore just a red shirt. When he returns in "Here's How Bernie Can Still Win", he wears two red roses behind his ears. Red roses are symbols of socialism.
  • Foil: He is Commie's moderate counterpart. While Commie wants to abolish capitalism with brute force, the Socialist is willing to admit that capitalism has some good things going for it and that a quick and violent revolution against it would only lead to needless bloodshed.
  • Killed Off for Real: Is offed by Commie before he's even introduced. The one segment he is given is Commie relaying what he said provoking Commie into killing him.
  • Not So Above It All: When he returns in 'Here's How Bernie Can Still Win', he proves to be considerably more violent and out there than he was in his initial appearance. His solution to the problem of Sanders' age preventing him from running again is to try to kill Joe Biden with Covid and then when that fails builds a robot Bernie (though it goes wrong very quickly). He then seemingly accepts that Sanders will not be president but then has Progressive assassinate Joe Biden.
  • Nice Guy: Seems to be a very civil, polite individual. Not that it helps him much.
  • Only Sane Man: His brief moment of screen time in Centricide 3 only featured him actually providing sound arguments... Too bad they didn't perfectly align with Commie's hardline ideal of dogmatically rejecting capitalism and killing millionaires, otherwise he would still be alive right now.
  • We Hardly Knew Ye: Gets axed by Commie rather quickly without much development, even compared to Progressive.

Council of Wacky Ideologies

An alliance of fringe (and highly eccentric) ideologies who join the Anti-Centrists in the war against the Centrists.

    In General 
  • Anthropomorphic Personification: They are all the personification of fringe ideologies, each of them unique (and very weird) off-shoots of the four extremists who have started gaining power with the Centricide.
  • Goldfish Poop Gang: While they get along very well (to a point), it is made very clear that each of them are all (at least initially) rather superfluous in the grand scheme of the Centricide. On-top of all of them being various flavors of Cloudcuckoolander, them being fringe-ideologies mean that they are inherently less powerful than the Centrists, Extremists, and Moderates. While Posadist is the most focused on the task at hand, Anarcho-Monarchist is an incestuous ditz with delusions of grandeur, all Transhumanist talks about is getting a robot dick, Anarcho-Primitivist is a technophobic brute with ludicrously out of date ideas, and Homonationalist only cares about ogling hot men.
  • Insane Troll Logic: The main feature of these ideologies is that they are inherently wacky, so a lot of this is in effect.
  • Strange Minds Think Alike: They are all thoroughly wacky in very different ways, but get along with each other far better than the more normal ideologies do.

    Posadist 

Posadist, Pandemic-Posadist

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2020_01_26_at_94943_pm.png
"Do you know what this means? As the Centrists die, we grow in strength. And I don't know about you, but I know what I'm gonna do when I get the power."
As a "Pandemic Posadist"

"Excuse me, how much for the nuke?"

A variant of communism that believes in odd things like an interstellar society of communist aliens, human-dolphin communication, and the idea that nuclear war is the best way to spark global revolution, although he's also considering using global pandemics.


  • A Day in the Limelight: "B I O A C C E L E R A T E || Pandemic Posadism" features the Posadist changing his weapon of choice from nuclear weapons to COVID-19 and instructing people how to spread it more efficiently.
  • Affably Evil: He is an Omnicidal Maniac and is literally the Anthropomorphic Personification of extremist-left populism via nuclear annihilation, but he is always smiling and seems to get along really well with his fellow Wackies.
  • Atomic Hate: Favors nuclear war as a means to bring about global revolution. That's not to say he isn't flexible about methods, since he suggests using The Plague to create mass disorder instead when the Coronavirus becomes a pandemic.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: While all the Wackies are this to one degree or another, him believing in weird things like commie aliens and communication with dolphins puts him squarely in this category.
  • Color-Coded Characters: Yellow and Red.
  • Deadly Euphemism: Calls the Coronavirus the "Good News".
  • Dirty Communist: A communist ideology that is openly for nuclear war. It gets worse once he becomes Pandemic Posadism, and is willing to use global pandemics for Leftist revolution.
  • Enemy Mine: Despite his diametric opposition to the principles of Anarcho-Capitalism, he shows up in "Centricide 4.5" willing to pay good money for one of Ancap's recreational nukes.
  • Hair-Trigger Sound Effect: Nuclear air raid sirens start blaring whenever he says something particularly ominous.
  • Humanoid Abomination: While none of the ideologies were ever human, Posadist is the least human-like among them, having antennas on his head and his body made to look like it is seen through a thermographic lens. It is likely that this was done because Posadism as an ideology espouses the idea of "Communist Aliens" and thus the Posadist would have an alien appearance.
  • Laughably Evil: His default mood is either giggling menacingly or holding back his menacing giggles as he plots joining the Extremist's war with the Centrists at best, causing The End of the World as We Know It at worst.
  • The Leader: Is this for the Council of Wacky Ideologies, or at least was the one who has the authority to call meetings.
  • Not-So-Harmless Villain: Following the coronavirus outbreak, Posadist outlines plans of bioterrorism to upend the status quo.
  • Foil: Not So Similar. Commie is Posadist's favorite extremist and they are both extremist-left philosophies that want to destroy capitalism but having vastly different methods to do it (Commie by revolution, Posadist by nuclear war and/or bioterrorism).
  • Omnicidal Maniac: Downplayed. His end-game is global revolution, not the complete genocide of mankind, but his methods to get there would involve at the very least the deaths of billions in a nuclear war. He's even willing to spread pandemics globally such as the Coronavirus outbreak in order to spark his revolution.
  • Real Life Writes the Plot: When he is introduced, Posadist is established as being the default of his ideology, i.e. inciting communism with nuclear weapons. He even tries buying Ancap's nuke from him in "Centricide 4.5". In March 2020 when the Coronavirus became a global pandemic, his weapon of choice changes to spreading the virus and letting that kill everyone instead.
  • The Sociopath: While everyone in the series is subject to Heroic Comedic Sociopathy, deliberately getting infected with a wide-spread illness so that you can kill the infirm and elderly to spark a global revolution is a length that almost nobody would be willing to go to. The fact that even Ancap thought that was a bridge too far speaks volumes.
  • Utopia Justifies the Means: If reaching an interplanetary communist utopia requires the destruction of billions of human lives, then so be it.
    Anarcho-Primitivism: "And you, Posadist, it very clear you want to use technology to destroy world, for no reason!"
    Posadism: "Huh, what? No, don't be ridiculous!" *Nuclear Air Raid Siren* "There's a reason!"
  • Voice of the Legion: Talks with one of these.
  • Would Harm a Senior: Discusses his desire to get infected with the coronavirus and spread it to elderly people in the hopes that they die.

    Homonationalist 

Homonationalist, Homofascist, Gay Nazi

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2020_01_26_at_95248_pm.png
"It's pretty degenerate and I'm getting turned on."

"Mass immigration? Not so great for the gays."

A far-right ultranationalist who advocates ultra-nationalism and the preservation and regression of Western culture, alongside the rights of LGBT people.


  • Abhorrent Admirer: He has a crush on Nazi, who's not only (presumably) straight, but homophobic enough to consider him a "thing".
  • Affably Evil: Even though he has a friendly demeanor and gets along well with most people, he's still a bigoted ultranationalist.
  • All Gays are Promiscuous: Homonationalist is implied to really get around. He playfully flirts with multiple characters throughout the series.
  • Alpha Bitch: His mannerisms are characteristic of this trope.
  • Boomerang Bigot: The very ideology he embodies is contradictory by nature, so this is a given. As a fascist, he wishes to enact mass purging of degeneracy, yet he himself is sexually aroused at the thought of degeneracy and is himself degenerate by the standards of most forms of fascism. In "Centricide 6", he says one of the reasons he joins Nazi is because Western culture gives him the right to be degenerate without fear of being stoned to death, yet he joins the one extremist who would most definitely have him stoned to death for existing. Even when Nazi flat-out tells him that he'll be the first to go if Fascism takes root, Homonationalist admits to being perfectly okay with it.
  • Camp Gay: Very much so. He acts coquettishly (especially towards Nazi) and behaves very femininely.
  • Campy Combat: He's just as campy while in battle. When he goes up against Radical Centrist, his weapon of choice is a whip.
  • Color-Coded Characters: Pink.
  • Double Entendre: Drops a few of these.
  • Foil: To Nazi. Nazi is the Extremist that Homonationalist is rooting for the most and clearly has a crush on him. But Nazi rejects everything he sees as degenerate, whereas Homonationalism gets turned on by the 'degeneracy'.
  • Has a Type: He has a thing for being "unreasonably dominated", allowing the Anprim to destroy his phone and having a Villainous Crush on Nazi.
  • Hypocritical Humor: He is turned on sexually by a number of things he openly identifies as degenerate according to his ideology. And of course, he is a gay Nazi when Nazis are known for having killed gay men in concentration camps.
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed: He's more than a little bit similar to Milo Yiannopoulos, an openly gay media personality known for his alleged ties with the alt-right.
  • Not So Similar: To Pink Capitalist. Even though Pink Capitalist is also an LGBT-centered ideology with far-right aspects, he's a culturally far-left ideology who wants a hands-off government out of a desire for profit, while Homonationalist is culturally far-right aside from being pro-LGBT and wants a strong ethnostate out of concern for his safety.
  • Oddball Doppelgänger: He's Nazi's queer counterpart.
  • Sissy Villain: When you're talking about a Camp Gay Nazi, this is pretty much inevitable.
  • Too Dumb to Live: As he explains, he wants to defend the Western world and its values because it gives him rights that let him be "degenerate", and he fears that the Third World would kill him if it takes over. However, he's perfectly willing to team up with Nazi, who flat-out says he wants to purge him.
  • Turn the Other Cheek: He doesn't mind that Anarcho-Primitivist smashed his phone.
  • Villainous Crush: On Nazi, expressing eagerness to align with the more mainstream Extremists to see him.
  • Whip of Dominance: When he goes up against Radical Centrist, he wields a whip, fitting for an extremist Sissy Villain with a domineering personality and a Campy Combat style.

    Anarcho-Monarchist 

Anarcho-Monarchist

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/anarcho_monarchy.png
"Every man a king! Except for the serfs."

"Wait until I tell my sister-wife about this!"

An advocate of both absolute monarchy and anarchy. A member of the wackies.


  • Brother–Sister Incest: Refers to having a 'sister-wife,' implying this trope is in effect.
  • Cool Sword: Is always seen carrying a sword. He finally gets to use it in Centricide 8, killing numerous Impossible Ideology Monsters with it.
  • Feudal Future: What he wants, but with added anarchy.
  • Hypocrite: He finds Homonationalist calling his Villainous Crush "daddy" disgusting, yet he is married to his own sister.
  • Not So Similar: To AnCap. AnCap is the Anarcho-Monarchist's favorite of the four extremes, both being anarchist ideologies that believe in a separation of elites and working class, but while AnCap's belief is based around economic superiority with no government establishment, Anarcho-Monarchist believes in the idea of political superiority based on succession of power through bloodlines (i.e. a monarchy). Though ironically in Centricide 4.5, Ancap declares Ancapistan is a land where every man can be a king, which pretty much is Anarcho-monarchist's exact ideal (right down to it being Blatant Lies for the lower classes).
  • Oxymoronic Being: Absolute monarchy and anarchism? Even among the Wackies, that's pretty far-out. He is notably absent when Ancap gets other like-minded ideologies together to create Ancapistan.
  • Pietà Plagiarism: With Anprim at the end of Centricide 8 Part 2, complete with a Big "NO!".
  • Royal Inbreeding: He considers himself a king and is mentioned to be married to his sister.
  • Self-Deprecation: In a meta-sense. He voices amusement at those that follow his ideology (or his "vassals") who all think that if his ideology were to be implemented they would be the monarch benefiting from it.
  • Villainous Incest: Should one consider him evil, of course.

    Transhumanist 

Transhumanist, Anarcho-Transhumanist, Posthumanism

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2020_01_26_at_95144_pm.png
"Beep boop. I'm a robot."

"The stronger I get, the closer I get to getting that robot dick."

An advocate of transcending the physical form and merging with machines.


  • Berserk Button: Destroying technology or pointing out that he's not actually a Cyborg, but just a guy dressing up as one.
  • Chekhov's Gun: Delivers one in the Council of Wacky Ideologies, remarking that he aided one of the surviving moderates by conducting a DNA test. It turns out that this surviving moderate is Conservative, and that DNA test he conducted demonstrates that Nazi is, in fact, Jewish.
  • Everything Is an iPod in the Future: As Posthumanism, his body is made up of iPhone charging stations.
  • Face–Heel Turn: For a certain definition of "face". He quickly betrays the wackies in Centricide Part 8 and becomes Posthumanism.
  • Foil: While Anarcho-Primitivist is the personification of regression to the hunter-gatherer stage of humanity, Transhumanist represents the advancement of technology to improve humanity on a fundamental level.
  • Ironic Last Words: His last words end up being a Call-Back to his interactions with Anprim
”You Luddite Bitccchhhh...”
  • Oddball Doppelgänger: Subverted. He and Anarcho-Transhumanism are the same person, he just pretends to be his own anarchist-counterpart.
  • Paper-Thin Disguise: In "Anarchist Infighting", there is an offshoot of the Transhumanist called the Anarcho-Transhumanist. It is basically Transhumanist pretending to be a different ideology and none of the actual anarchists are buying it.
  • Running Gag: Says he wants 'that robot dick' several times in his debut appearance.
  • Special Effects Failure: invoked He wears a box wrapped in foil on his head and wraps his arms in foil to look like a robot. Nobody buys it. Even he admits that he'd rather have actual robot arms instead of arms covered in tinfoil.
  • Taking You with Me: He shoots and kills Anarcho-Primitivism in his dying moments.
  • Token Good Teammate: His compatriots want nuclear war, neo-feudal anarchy, the destruction of all post-Stone Age technology (including reading), or a gay ethnostate. In comparison, his desire to merge with technology and get that robo-dick is far less objectionable. Harshly subverted when he turns on everyone else and sides with Accelerationism to become Posthumanism out of anti-humanist disgust, ending in a Mutual Kill with Anarcho-Primitivism.
  • Transhumanism: What he wants to happen.

    Anarcho-Primitivist 

Anarcho-Primitivist, AnPrim, Grug

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2020_01_26_at_95346_pm.png
"Ooga, booga, industrial revolution bad!"

"Rain God, please punish Unabomber for his use of bombs."

An ideology committed to the destruction of all modern technology to return to a more puritan lifestyle.


  • Ambiguously Gay: His interaction with Homonationalist shows him being offended that the latter does not find him attractive. Whether this indicates an attraction to other men or is just a matter of pride is a matter of debate.
  • Berserk Button: Modern technology is this for him to the point he smashes Homonationalist's phone.
  • Chaotic Stupid: He talks like a caveman and wants to abandon all technology and medicine, therefore leading to billions of deaths, because he feels like they have led to a decline in human quality of life. You know, on a micro-level, as opposed to the macro level where a population of billions relies on them.
  • Color-Coded Characters: Green and black.
  • Contemporary Caveman: Not a literal example, but acts like one.
  • A Day in the Limelight: He and his tribe are spotlighted in the Anprim_irl video, which features him speaking with the tribe elder (who's 25) about the Wacky Ideologies meeting and doing the 'Dance of Mourning' with the rest of the tribe when the tribe elder is killed by a tiger.
  • Dumbass Has a Point: As a coherent, if harsh, ideology compared to, say, Anarcho-Monarchism, Anarcho-Primitivism often makes salient points despite, as he himself admits, having his primary personality trait being a comically large dinosaur bone held as a club.
    • He calls out that Transhumanist is just a guy wearing tinfoil and cardboard, rather than an actual robot ("That the only reason I'm here!")
    • He is the only one to question why Posadist is leading the group.
    • And as he points out in Centricide 8, he "called it," as Transhumanism's lust for robotic transformation leads him to outright anti-humanism, siding with Accelerationism against everyone else.
  • Evil Luddite: If you view him as a bad guy, of course. As Jreg himself has noted, his ideas would result in countless preventable deaths if implemented in society as a whole.
  • Foil:
    • To Ancom. Ancom is AnPrim's favorite among the four extremists, both of them being anarchist ideologies that support annihilating modern society; but while AnCom is a progressive who wants to create an entirely new world with no hierarchies, AnPrim is a reactionary that wants to go back to the stone age, potentially still having some hierarchies.
    • To Transhumanist. While Transhumanist embodies the acceleration of technology to fundamentally change humanity, AnPrim embodies the belief that technology only makes things worse and that humanity was better off in the hunter-gatherer stage.
  • Hulk Speak: He refers to himself using "me" instead of "I" and tends to drop articles.
  • Killed Off for Real: Dies in Centricide 8 as a result of Transhumanism making a Face–Heel Turn and killing him in the process, though he gets the last laugh by helping to destroy Posthumanism.
  • Loincloth: The only clothing he wears.
  • Not-So-Harmless Villain: Not in the Centricide series itself, but Jreg noted in another video that a world without modern refrigeration, medicine, or agriculture would easily cause billions of deaths, making him one of the most potentially lethal ideologies featured in the series.
  • Primitive Clubs: Fittingly for a man who thinks technological advance should've stopped at some time during the Stone Age, he wields a large wooden or bone club.
  • Running Gag: His reaction to members of his tribe dying from (generally preventable with technology) causes like infected cuts or tiger attacks is to say "very sad, no way to prevent this". There's even a song accompanying the tribe's "Dance of Mourning" that alternates between saying this and "AYAYAYAYA".
  • Science Is Bad: Believes this trope is in effect. His tribe apparently stoned the inventor of stoning to death for inventing stoning and actively stones people for using the word 'agriculture'.
  • Token Religious Teammate: For a given value of "religious", but he invokes the Sun and Moon gods frequently. He even tells the Moon god he's coming as he dies.
  • Walking Shirtless Scene: He's never seen with any shirts, or any clothing besides his necklace for that matter. Luckily, the camera never moves to a position where we see his more... private parts.

Ancapistan

Anarcho-Capitalist community created by Ancap and Libertarian.
    In General 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bois.png
"Welcome to Ancapistan, where every man can be a king."

  • Anthropomorphic Personification: They are all the personification of Economically Right-Wing ideologies (both libertarian and authoritarian) that in some way, shape or form support laissez-faire capitalism and a Privately Owned Society.
  • Aristocrat Team: They are all different kinds of rich and besides Minarchist all display varying degrees of contempt for the impoverished unfortunate enough to live there.
  • Countrystan: It shares the naming pattern of some Central and South Asian countries, the main difference being that it's named after an ideology rather than a people. Though considering it's implied to have no government, whether it qualifies as a "country" is debatable.
  • Egopolis: Ancap clearly named it after himself.
  • Foil: To the extremists. Despite basking in unrestrained capitalism, they have no desire to fight other ideologies and factions, more concerned with their own gains and territories and instead preferring to profit off of them. They also get along generally well despite their disagreements due to occupying the same quadrant and the fact that their profit-centric ideology doesn't motivate them with a grand narrative to fight for ideological purity. They're even this to the Lib-Left ideology group, because they can at least agree what the central edict of their quadrant is and not waste time.
  • "I Am" Song: "Welcome to Ancapistan." Can double as a Villain Song depending on what side you're on.
  • Pragmatic Villainy: Despite being ultracapitalists, when Accelerationism shows up, the Ancapistanis form an Enemy Mine with Commie rather quickly.
  • Privately Owned Society: Having been founded by and named after the Anarcho-Capitalist, this is essentially what Ancapistan is.
  • Red Scare: Unsurprisingly for a community based entirely around free enterprise, they are strongly anti-communist. Even Minarchist openly regards Commie with suspicion.
  • Utopia Justifies the Means: Ancapistan is basically Galt's Gulch come to life, but they don't consider communists people (or deserving of the right to live) and their solution to the homeless problem their society inevitably creates is to have their privately-owned police forcibly segregate them from the wealthy.

    Minarchist 

Minarchist

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/minarchist.jpg
"We treat our trade partners as if they were brothers."

"No government tyranny here, we're finally free!"

An advocate for a minimal state and a resident of Ancapistan.


  • Color-Coded Characters: Yellow (his upper half) and Blue (lower half).
  • Honest Corporate Executive: Declares proudly that he treats his trade partners like they were his own brothers and seems to mean it.
  • Nice Guy: Just as friendly as Ancap on a personal level while lacking his more unsavory traits.
  • Token Good Teammate: His solo portion of the Ancapistan song emphasizes the more positive aspects of Ancapistan and he declares that the residents of Ancapistan look out for each other. He also displays visible discomfort when Ancap shoos the cripplingly poor away.

    Hoppean 

Hoppean

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hobbean.jpg
"We don't have poors, and by poors I mean blacks."

"Degenerates get forcibly removed into the ocean."

The embodiment of Hoppeanism, a form of paleolibertarianism (which combines ultracapitalism with traditionalism) that believes societies should have the right to exclude certain people by force. A resident of Ancapistan.


  • Color-Coded Characters: Curiously, his body is not dyed any color like the other ideologies, though he does wear a yellow shirt with the Hoppean flag (upper-half yellow, lower-half black) with the Imperial Eagle in the background.
  • Composite Character: He combines Hoppean paleolibertarianism with white nationalism.
  • Evil Sounds Deep: The most overtly genocidal resident of Ancapistan and has the deepest voice of all its residents.
  • Foil: To Nazi. Both are right-wing extremists who support a white ethnostate, but Nazi disdains individualist economics and wants a totalitarian government, while Hoppean is a hypercapitalist who wants a society with little or no government.
  • Kubrick Stare: His default posture is this to emphasize his sinister nature.
  • A Nazi by Any Other Name: Given the way he wants his Privately Owned Society run, the area under his control is a de facto ethnostate. He also boasts about killing "degenerates" by having them thrown into the ocean. Nazi himself realizes the potential Ancapistan can have to achieve his goals during his visit.
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed: He takes a few cues from paleolibertarian author and thinker William S. Lind, best known for Victoria.
  • "Not So Different" Remark: Nazi comments that, despite their opposing views on economics and government power, the two are actually very alike. He even considers allying with Hoppean before Tankie tells him that's not what they're there for.
  • Not So Similar:
    • To Nazbol. Both of them combine far-right authoritarianism with something from a different corner of the political compass, but Hoppean adds right-libertariansm rather than authoritarian communism. Some fans have summed up the essence of the differences between them by saying that Hoppean wants freedom but only for his people while Nazbol wants equality but only for his people.
    • To Anfash, both are culturally far-right libertarian ideologies whose social views are at home with Nazi, but Anfash wants a communal economic system and Hoppean wants unrestricted free market capitalism.
  • Obviously Evil: You can tell just by looking at him that he is not a good dude.
  • Poke the Poodle: When Commie shows up in Ancapistan his initial reaction is to call for him to be physically removed... only to say he'd also be fine with just charging him exorbitant prices for a hamburger.
  • Politically Incorrect Villain: During the Ancapistan song, he expresses that they've gotten rid of the poor "and by poors I mean blacks" in his territory. Despite Ancap's protestations to the contrary, he also wants to forcibly remove minorities into the sea.
  • "Spread Wings" Frame Shot: The wings of the eagle on the Hoppean flag have this effect.
  • Token Evil Teammate: Much like Nazi is to the Anti-Centrists, Hoppean is the most overtly evil of the Ancapistanians, giving a perpetual Kubrick Stare as he sings about equating poverty with black people and dumping minorities into the ocean. Whether this is due to Jreg invoking his beliefs or the fact that YouTube targets Hoppean rhetoric to the same extent as fascist rhetoric is unknown.

    Pink Capitalism 

Pink Capitalist, Pink Capitalism, Rainbow Capitalism

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2020_06_24_at_75640_am.png
"I'm gay too and I'm profiting from it."

"Besides, I'm not just superfluously pink, I'm also superfluously gay!"

The embodiment of the incorporation of LGBT Movement and queer/gender politics into Capitalism. As per Jreg, he's just another persona of Ancap who acts like an exaggerated gay stereotype.


  • Camp Gay: Invoked, given that he's Ancap trying to appeal to the LGBT market. He claims that he is different from AnCap because he's "superficially pink for no reason" and he lets his wrists flop around to show that he's "superfluously gay."
  • Color-Coded Characters: He's predominantly pink with bits of AnCap's yellow color motif spliced in.
  • Enlightened Self-Interest: Yes, he supports gay rights, but it's primarily because he thinks he can profit off their cause.
  • Faux Yay: While he indulges in gay stereotypes, he's only pretending to be gay for his own reasons.
  • Foil:
    • To Anarcho-Capitalist, his true identity. The personas are functionally similar to each other, but while Anarcho-Capitalist is predominantly yellow and seeks profit in a more general sense (even if it means he has to be discriminatory), Pink Capitalist is pink and focuses more on profiting off of LGBT rights and the promotion there-of.
    • To Nazbol. While Nazbol is an Authoritarian ideology who sees himself as economically far-left and culturally far-right, Pink Capitalism is a libertarian ideology who considers himself economically far-right and culturally far-left (basically like Neo-Liberalism). Nazbol therefore declares Pink Capitalism the worst thing ever when the two meet.
    • To Anarcho-Communist, as Ancom wants to get rid of all hierarchies, including capitalism's, and doesn't want to profit off anything. Ancom is also less concerned about economics compared to social issues, while Pink Capitalism is economically minded.
      • Also post-left anarchism: Both are different personas of the same person, but while post-left is defeatist in the face of the modern-day's state, Pink Capitalism is optimistic in his ability to profit off of contemporary socially left causes.
    • To Hoppean. While he's also a very capitalist ideology with defined social views, he's very pro-LGBT (albeit for rather self-serving reasons) while Hoppean is quite open about wanting to kill anyone he considers "degenerate". This reaches its logical conclusion in "Pink Capitalism Month 2", where Hoppean exiles Ancap from Ancapistan and will only let him come back should he stop acting like that for money.
    • To Queer Anarchist. While both are queer counterparts to preexisting anarchist ideologies, he's mainly interested in the economic ramifications of LGBT rights, while Queer Anarchist is more interested in the social implications.
  • The Friend Nobody Likes: Hardly anyone likes him, even the explicitly queer ideologies due to him obviously trying to make a buck off of them.
  • Not So Similar: To Homonationalist. While Homonationalist is the LGBT counterpart to Nazi, Pink Capitalist is the LGBT counterpart of Anarcho-Capitalist, focusing his marketing on profiting off of queer people and their cause, that and while Homonationalist at least is his own person and is genuinely (if stereotypically and paradoxically) gay, Pink Capitalist seems to be just Ancap in a persona attempting to profit off of people in the LGBT+ community.
  • Oddball Doppelgänger: He's Ancap's gay counterpart. Or at least that's what he tries telling everybody.
  • Only in It for the Money: He looks and acts gay solely to pander to an LGBT market. He casually admits it to Libertarian in "Pink Capitalism Month 2". He only tells Libertarian off for homophobic language ("That's really gay") because "it's still pride month after all."
  • Separate, but Identical: He's functionally the same as his normal AnCap persona, but his color scheme is pink instead of yellow (ironically making him closer to the AnCap persona's original political compass color purple), he lets his wrists go limp to show that he's gay and he focuses his marketing pursuits on profiting off of supporting LGBT rights.

International Union of Nationalists

An alliance of various nationalist ideologies created by Conservative and Nazi.
     In-General 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2020_04_18_at_34827_pm_3.png

  • Anthropomorphic Personification: They are all (except for Moderate Lee) ideologies that are on the authoritarian-right quadrant of the political compass, representing the idea of nationalism in its various forms.

    Pan-Africanism 

Pan-Africanism

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/panafricanism.jpg
"And don't forget about me! Pan-Africanism!"

An African Identitarian ideology that joins Nazi and the other Right-wing ideologies (and Moderate Lee) in "Centricide 6". He prioritizes Africa being free of foreign rule and a home for Africans first, alongside opposition to colonialism and empire building.


  • Black Dude Dies First: Lampshaded in "Centricide 8.0", where he is the first to be assimilated by Accelerationism.
  • Blackface: Parodied. The only aspect of his "costume" is a sign on his face that says "Blackface" because even Greg wouldn't go that far. Of course, since he is supposed to be a black character (being a black identitarian ideology) and his actor is a white man, this is still technically a form of blackface.
  • Color-Coded Characters: He is overlaid with the Pan-African flag (top to bottom red, black and green).
  • Even Evil Has Standards: Despite his ideology being the establishment of a black-first state, his anti-colonialist stance means that he's opposed to invading other nations and having other nations getting invaded for the sake of empire building. Of course, given that modern Nazis tend to prioritize isolation, with Jreg's Black Nationalist video also parodying real cases of black and white nationalists collaborating, Pan-Africanism is still giving Nazi what he wants.
  • Everyone Has Standards: Jreg is certainly more deliberately offensive than most political satire shows, but even Jreg (the actor) acknowledges that actually wearing blackface would be taking it too far.
  • Hidden Depths: His first appearance was as a Joke Character and is implicitly just black supremacist. His second appearance, however, has him attempt to explain the nuances of his ideology before being drowned out by Nazi, since any nuances are unimportant to Nazi's goal of propping him up to rally blacks for their own ethno-state.
  • Joke Character: As soon as Pan-Africanism appears, the sign on his face falls off and Greg breaks character, begging the audience to forget this character ever existed. Subverted when he reappears in the Black Nationalist video.
  • Let Us Never Speak of This Again: Jreg breaks character and tells the audience to forget he created Pan-Africanism after abandoning the concept.
  • Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: One of the main reasons why he's associated with the Auth Right despite it also hosting white supremacist ideologies is because he'd pretty much create an ethnostate for black people in Africa, which would finally give white supremacists in western countries their dream of emptying their lands from people of color. Also serves as a call back to a video where left anarchists take over the world and ship all white people to their own state to not bother people of color anymore, even though this makes white supremacists very happy at the fact they have their own state isolated from non whites. Not to mention, the actual functioning of the politics and economics of said ethnostate would just be what Nazi would do albeit for another race.
  • Not Evil, Just Misunderstood: He resents the fact that people think he represents "white supremacy for black people" and that it gets in the way of the anti-colonialist nuance of the ideology. The fact that he has aligned himself with Nazi doesn't help matters, and his attempts to deconstruct the idea of him being auth-right are undercut by the notion that a nation for black people to migrate to would be exactly what the white nationalist types would want.

The Anarchists

Libertarian Left ideologies who believe in the abolishment of the state.

    In General 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/anarchists.jpg

  • Anthropomorphic Personification: They are all the personification of economically or socially left ideologies that in some way, shape, or form, support the abolishment of the state.
  • Bomb-Throwing Anarchists: With the sole exception of Anarcho-Pacifism, all of the anarchists are just different flavors of this, all of them willing to resort to violence for some overarching cause (or in Insurrectionary Anarchism's case, for the hell of it).
  • The Cavalry: They are called in by Anarcho-Monarchism during the second part of Centricide 8, helping to the defeat Post-Humanism (save for Anarcho-Pacifism who is functionally useless).
  • Commune: Their home is one.
  • Foil: To Ancapistan. While the Ancapistanians represent right-wing anarchism and believe in the abolishment of the state for economic reasons, their left-wing counterparts are against statism for cultural reasons. While the Ancapistanians have their own Privately Owned Society and are more interested in enjoying the benefits of what is essentially an oppressive institution, the Anarchists all share a bunker and fight against both public and private oppressive institutions. While Ancapistan operates on a Non-Aggression Principle and only resorts to violence in self-defense, the Anarchists (with the exception of Anarcho-Pacifism) seem to think Murder Is the Best Solution. And while the Ancapistanis all get along even when they disagree, their chapter is literally called "Anarchist Infighting," and sees most of them picking different kinds of fights with each other. (Though they also all have sex with each other in the end.)
  • Men of Sherwood: With the exception of Anarcho-Pacifism, they all do a pretty good job of killing the Impossible Ideology Monsters.
  • Polyamory: According to Queer Anarchism, they're also a polycule and they all have sex with each other. The narration text basically confirms it, though Anfash wasn't involved at the time.

    Anarcho-Pacifism 

Anarcho-Pacifism

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2020_06_07_at_15104_am_3.png
"Yes, 'the state is violence', we all agree on that, but... you know, I think if we start using violence against the state, you know, I think maybe that, maybe that makes us look a little bad..."

"And maybe if we just... ask the government to go away, maybe... maybe it will."

An ideology based around anarchism through peaceful protest.


  • Actual Pacifist: It's in his name, after all.
  • Anthropomorphic Personification: Of the rejection of the state through non-violent methods.
  • Became Their Own Antithesis: He firmly believes that using violence makes somebody no better than the state since the state using violence as a method of control is what anarchists hate about the state so much.
  • Color-Coded Characters: He's dressed predominantly in white.
  • Dumbass Has a Point: "Dumbass" is probably a bit strong, but while the series all-but treats his idealism as hopelessly naïve and ineffectual, it also draws a line between Anarcho-Pacifism's high-minded and sincere refusal to use violence as a political tool and Moderate Lee, his closest counterpart, who is only a pacifist because he's too much of a coward to believe in anything, let alone stand up for it. And he is not wrong about the inherent hypocrisy of hating state control for its use of violence to create unjust power structures while endorsing the use of violence themselves. Especially considering the reasons some of his compatriots are willing to use violence.
  • The Load: When he's called to help Anarcho-Monarchist and Anprim in Centricide 8 Part 2, his Boss Subtitles explicitly say he'll be useless and he questions why he's even here.
  • Not So Similar: To Moderate Lee. While both are Actual Pacifists, Anarcho-Pacifism is a pacifist because he believes in taking the moral high ground over governments and refuses to compromise his beliefs while Moderate Lee is only a pacifist because he's a Dirty Coward and would switch sides without a fight when he can't make a compromise.
  • Token Good Teammate: Among the anarchists, he is the least violent (that being his primary defining trait) and most even tempered by far.
  • Wide-Eyed Idealist: He holds a rose-colored view of the world at large despite living in a setting populated largely by people who are assholes, insane, or both.

    Anarcho-Fascist 

Anarcho-Fascist, Anfash

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2020_06_25_at_25726_pm_1.png
"Yep, it's Anfash time!"

"All cops are bad! Because when I try to assault a minority, a cop stops me!"

The embodiment of the ideology of anarcho-fascism/national anarchism, an ideology embracing the abolition of the state and separation into ethnically homogeneous communities.


  • Color-Coded Characters: He's dresses in black and white, but his body is tinted cyan blue.
  • Cop Hater: Really doesn't like the police because they usually stop him from committing hate crimes.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: In The Stinger of the "Anarchist Uprising" video.
  • Eviler than Thou: Combines Ancom's unhinged attitude towards people he hates with Authright's bigotry towards those he considers inferior. Unlike Hoppean he at least believes in an economic system where people would at least try to help each other, but he'd still act as unhinged as Ancom in maintaining it.
  • Foil: Like Insurrectionary Anarchist, he's a very unsavory form of anarchism known for being ultraviolent. Unlike Insurrectionary Anarchist, who thinks a better world is impossible and doesn't care about identity politics, Anfash thinks his ideal society is achievable and holds very racist views.
  • The Friend Nobody Likes: Despite being an anarchist, the other anarchists don't consider him one of them, seeing him as more of a right-wing accelerationist that calls himself an anarchist. Considering he lacks the emphasis in economically-right economic policy, this is probably why he didn't leave for Ancapistan like the other right-wing anarchists either. That spot is taken by Hoppean anyway.
  • Not So Similar:
    • Much like Nazbol, he is incapable of reaching solidarity with other ideologies due to his contradictory nature. The difference is that Nazbol is rejected by the Authoritarians for being both left and right, the Centrists for being too Extreme, the regular Extremists for being too wacky, and the Wacky ideologies for still making sense, whereas Anarcho-Fascist is rejected by his fellow anarchists because his brand of anarchy is directed towards those already marginalized.
    • He's also one to Hoppean, both having far right views more in line with Auth-Right despite being politically anarchist. Hoppean however is an ultracapitalist while Anfash doesn't seem to care for the free market and holds more communal views on economics.
  • Obviously Evil: Wears a bandanna with a skull on it and sounds gleefully psychotic. It's clear he's not a good dude even before you know that he wants segregated communes. Ancom and Authright meanwhile at least don't look as menacing when you first see them.
  • Pet the Dog: His endgoal commune is not a totalitarian state like Nazi and it's implied that his people would help each other and live a friendly communal life. However, his goal still requires Nazi's extreme methods and he's willing to commit genocide if necessary.
  • Politically Incorrect Villain: He hates ethnic and sexual minorities, as well as cops for protecting them from his violence.
  • Token Evil Teammate: Almost became this for the Anarchist-Left quadrant, but that spot got taken by Insurrectionary Anarchist given that Anfash doesn't really fit the quadrant. Regardless, his views are genocidal, but he can at least think of a better world for his people, unlike Insurrectionary Anarchism.

    Queer Anarchism 

Queer Anarchism, Queer Anarchist, Anarcho-Queer

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2020_06_24_at_80113_am.png
"Pride month isn't about me getting included into your cisnormative systems of oppression. It should be about QUEER LIBERATION!"

"If there is a god, they're gender non-conforming, bitcheees!"

The embodiment of supporting anarchist revolution for queer liberation.


  • Affably Evil: If one sees him as a villain, anyway. He's a friendly guy for a violent anarchist and generally comes off as more chill than one may expect, but he's perfectly willing to kill people for being in the way of his goals or holding views he considers bigoted.
  • Color-Coded Characters: He is tinted pink.
  • Foil:
    • To Anarcho-Communist. They are both anarchist-left wing ideologies and are both queer characters (Anarcho-Communist not adhering to gender binary), but while Anarcho-Communist embodies the general idea of non-statist anarchy to demolish all hierarchies, Queer Anarchism does it specifically for LGBT rights, and doesn't seem to have any other stances besides a mild anti-capitalist streak.
    • To Pink Capitalist. Both are queer counterparts to preexisting Extremist ideologies, but while Pink Capitalist is anarchist-right, Queer Anarchism is anarchist-left. While Pink Capitalism only cares about the economic ramifications of LGBT rights, Queer Anarchism cares more about the social implications.
    • To Homo-Nationalist. While Homo-Nationalist makes Nazi less comfortable with being a Nazi, Queer Anarchism actually helps Ancom understand anarchism better and strengthens him.
  • Good Old Fisticuffs: While the Anarchists in Centricide 8 all use various weapons against the Impossible Ideology Monsters, Queer Anarchism instead opts to use his fists.
  • Mask of Sanity: While he comes off as one of the more grounded and rational ideologies, this is at least partly a persona he puts on to conceal his violent tendencies.
  • Not So Above It All: As noted by Jreg in his R/Polcompball AMA, Queer Anarchism might give off the veneer of sanity due to avoiding a lot of campy tropes and a sincere front, but it's still a front. Queer Anarchism still has violent urges and is insistent on people following his line of thought on a cumbersome list of oppressions, and in a timeline where Jreg removes all "problematic" characters of his show and just leaves Queer Anarchism to read theory, Jreg starts going insane for how boring and ridiculous his methods and line of thought is.
    • Furthermore, Jreg stated any opposition to Pink Capitalism that Queer Anarchism has is based on him simply not having the money to consume as much as he wants, hearkening back to Ancap's (who is Pink Capitalism when not disguised) statement in the Political Compass Rap that some liblefts label the free market a system of oppression because they're bad at it.
  • Not So Similar: To Homonationalist. Both are queer counterparts to preexisting Extremist ideologies, but while Homonationalist is statist-right, Queer Anarchism is anarchist-left.
  • Oddball Doppelgänger: He is basically Ancom's queer counterpart. While Ancom is quemself gender-queer, Queer Anarchism is LGBT centered while Ancom (was) all about anarchism in a general sense.
  • Skewed Priorities: Spends so much time naming all oppressions and ensuring that everyone is on the same page for every little detail, despite doing little to actually achieve these goals.
  • Soft-Spoken Sadist: While Queer Anarchism seems to be the most level-headed of the Anarchist Commune's members and sincerely believes in defending the rights of the wide range of people in the LGBT+ Community, that doesn't mean he isn't perfectly willing to snap and kill someone for minor slights, having killed Anarcha-Feminism because she was a TERF (trans-exclusionary radical feminist) and is reported to repeatedly threaten death to cisgendered people.
  • Straight Gay: While he may dress radically, he is ironically the least stereotypical of the queer-centered ideologies, Homonationalist being Camp Gay and Pink Capitalist trying evoke Camp Gay stereotypes for marketing purposes, especially since Pink Capitalism is just Ancap putting on a queer friendly persona. Even his poly side isn't framed as that campy after all.

    Insurrectionary Anarchism 

Insurrectionary Anarchism, Insurrectionary Anarchist

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2020_06_25_at_25514_pm_1.png
"And why shouldn't things get too violent, huh?"

"Did I tell you about that time I kneecapped this government official, and then I just kept smashing and smashing until his head was just pulp?"

The embodiment of anarchism for anarchism's sake.


  • Apocalypse Anarchy: Part of why he does what he does is because he thinks the world is doomed, so there's no point in trying to make something better of it.
  • Ax-Crazy: For him, the only thing that matters in anarchism is the opportunity to destroy and use violence for the sake of violence itself (And the pleasure that comes with it). Even Ancom starts to get disturbed when he describes his love of throwing molotovs at the police and seeing them burn.
  • Blood Knight: He's the only anarchist with no real end goal and he seems to take an obscene amount of pleasure in violence and murder.
  • Color-Coded Characters: He is dressed and tinted in a neutral grey-scale.
  • Deadpan Snarker: When Queer-Anarchism describes his whole deal, Insurrectionary Anarchism mocks his optimism as though he was claiming that the Easter Bunny was real.
    Insurrectionary Anarchism: Oh yeah. A better world definitely exists if you keep reading your fucking queer-theory, and then god will emerge from the Heavens and say he loves all his children, global warming will reverse and all the oppressive institutions will just go away.
  • Foil:
    • To Political Nihilist. Both are Straw Nihilists who believe that praxis of any kind is not worth pursuing, but while the Political Nihilist is all about doing nothing under the belief that taking action is an exercise in futility, Insurrectionary Anarchism is a Blood Knight who likes committing violence for the sake of schadenfreude and thinks that anyone who does it for a noble cause is kidding themselves.
    • To Anfash. While both are very unsavory forms of anarchism associated with extreme violence, Anfash's violence is goal-oriented and he wants ethnic homogeneity, whereas Insurrectionary Anarchist isn't prejudiced and commits violence just because he enjoys it.
  • Good Smoking, Evil Smoking: Never seen without a cigarette in his mouth and enjoys wreaking havoc for its own sake.
  • Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids!: He mocks his fellow anarchists' desires to create a better world through their revolution, believing that such a thing doesn't exist and as such the only thing left to do is cause chaos and destruction against the state with no aim whatsoever.
  • Shadow Archetype: He's basically a Darker and Edgier version of the Anarcho-Communist, having the same predisposition towards violence and hatred of the state, but without quer morals or any end goal. One could even argue that he is basically everything that Post-Left (who shares his color scheme) lacks compared to quer original self.
  • Straw Nihilist: He thinks morality is bunk and the world is doomed, so there's no reason for him not to cause destruction and carnage for the hell of it.
  • Terrorists Without a Cause: More like Anarchists Without A Cause but still applies. Unlike his fellow anarchist ideologies and fellow Token Evil Teammate Anfash, Insurrectionary Anarchism seems to be engaging in violence against the state for its own sake, believing that morality is all relative and that none of it matters anyway.
  • Token Evil Teammate: A more proper one for the Lib-Left quadrant once Anfash leaves, given that he wants to engage in violence for the sake of it. Even Anfash's tendencies will rest once he achieves his ethno-commune, and Anfash is at least capable of imagining a better world for his people. At least he isn't racist though.

    Mutualism(s) 

Mutualism(s)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mutalism.png
"Anarchy should just mean the dismantling of the state. We can still have markets."

"Wait a second. Guys, does anyone actually know what anarchy is?"

The embodiment of creating mutual cooperation between people over the institution of a state.


  • Color-Coded Characters: He is varying shades of orangish-yellow.
  • Not So Similar: To Ancap. Mutualism(s) also views anarchism as purely being the absence of the state and favors markets in an anarchist society. However, unlike Ancap, he does not consider the free market his main focus and favors community solidarity rather than capitalist hierarchy.
  • Secretly Selfish: While they do seem to genuinely believe their ideas would benefit the world as a whole, they also seem to be more self-serving than they would care to openly admit. They define anarchism as "people who want to help each other out", the example citing that since his neighbor has been out of the house for two weeks, it would "really help [them] out" by giving them his house.
  • Voice of the Legion: He speaks with an echoing voice.

    Anarcha-Feminism 

Anarcha-Feminism, AnFem

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/violet_anarcha_feminism.png
"It's me, Anarcha-Feminism. I'm alive and I'm coming for you, Queer-Anarchism."

The embodiment of supporting anarchist revolution for women's rights.


    Post-Left Anarchism (UNMARKED SPOILERS

Post-Left Anarchism, Post-Left Anarchist

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2020_07_06_at_35636_pm.png
"Uh, you know, I haven't really been feeling very coherent recently."

"I mean, I thought I knew what anarchy was: the abolishment of all unjust hierarchies. But now... I'm not really so sure. Can you guys explain it to me?"

The embodiment of strains of anarchism that reject leftism, or at least traditional forms of it. Was originally the Anarcho-Communist before quis fight with the Political Nihilist and Ape Political turned quim into Post-Left in "Centricide 3".


  • Anthropomorphic Personification: Of anarchism that rejects leftism and leftist theory.
  • Color-Coded Characters: While Ancom was tinted green, Post-Left is Deliberately Monochrome. This is symbolic of him losing his leftist leanings, the color green evocative of the Libertarian-Left on the political compass.
  • The Ditherer: While Ancom had a clear picture of what que was fighting against, Post-Left is nothing more than a bag of nerves unable to decide whether or not if que is a leftist or an anarchist or what either ideology even means. This is best illustrated in quer interactions with Anfash. While Ancom considered Nazis to be the worst thing ever and used it as a slur against people who disagreed with quem, when Anfash asked quem why when Post-Left tried to pick a fight with him, all it led to was Post-Left having an emotional breakdown.
  • Does This Remind You of Anything?: In "Anarchist Infighting", it is shown that ever since becoming Post-Left Anarchism, que has developed an inability to perform praxis and has developed the belief that being an anarchist and being a leftist are unreconcilable, basically suffering from depression brought on by an identity crisis.
  • The Eeyore: Seems outright unable to be happy except in brief moments.
  • Not So Similar: To Pink Capitalism, given that both of them are queer ideologies (Post-Left still going by "que/quem" pronouns) and alternate personas of the main extremist characters, Pink Capitalism being Ancap's alter ego while Post-Left anarchism is Ancom's altered form. Both are the result of being confronted with the modern world and a deconstruction of their ideology. Pink Capitalism however has embraced the modern political landscape and markets to "woke" socially left causes to make profit, while being quite the idealist. Post-Left Anarchism meanwhile is dejected and unable to think of how anarchist communism can come about.
  • One-Steve Limit: The former Anarcho-Communist is the second Post-Left to make an appearance, an ideology calling himself Post-Left appearing as a moderator in "Leftist Infighting" while Ancom and Commie are arguing with each other. The "regular" Post-Left appears to reject anarchism however.
  • Walking Spoiler: Talking about quem without revealing Ancom's fate is downright impossible.

Independent Ideologies

    Nazbol 

National Bolshevik, Nazbol, Authoritarian Center, Auth Center, Authoritarian Unity, Auth Unity

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2020_01_26_at_95443_pm.png
"I fight for the class rights of those that are white!"

"I am far-left and far-right at the same time!"

A strange ideology who is far right socially and far left economically. Practically no one knows what to do with him.


  • A Day in the Limelight: Gets a song explaining his ideology that is a parody of Lil' Nas.
  • Affably Evil: Generally cheerful and friendly even to ideologies he is extremely opposed to like Pink Capitalism, but embodies an ideology that endorses genocide on the basis of both class and race.
  • Anthropomorphic Personification: Of National Bolshevik ideology and possibly related ones like Ba'athism and Strasserism that advocate left-wing collectivist economics but also right-wing reactionary social views. Essentially the embodiment of a traditionalist workers' state.
  • Berserk Button: Downplayed. He declares Pink Capitalism, the literal opposite of his ideology, the worst thing he has ever seen, but without losing his cheery tone or getting violent.
  • Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Despite being regarded as wacky, he and the other wacky ideologies conclude that he doesn't truly belong since it's still possible to be far-right socially and far-left economically. He's also capable of being a highly effective ideology when he takes over the world in a Bad Future moment and defeats Horseshoe Centrist.
  • Call on Me: In "Centricide 5", it is revealed that Nazi and Commie are capable of summoning him whenever they want (not that they usually would).
  • Cloudcuckoolander: His particular ideology is too weird even for the wackies, the extremists don't take him seriously and don't accept him, and his existence alone leads to the defeat of a centrist. Despite him seemingly fitting in nowhere, he's constantly upbeat and smiling, with a generally friendly, bubbly, if slightly off-putting attitude.
  • Color-Coded Characters: Nazbol is tinted magenta, a mix of Nazi (blue) and Commie (red).
  • Commie Nazis: His political ideology. Calls both Hitler and Stalin his bros.
  • Disability Immunity: He is simultaneously far-right authoritarian and far-left authoritarian which makes him centrist in the absolute loosest of terms. He is far too extreme for the Centrists, the regular Extremists hate him for contradicting them (since communists hate fascists and fascists hate communists) and he refuses to be involved with the Wacky Extremists. It turns out that the very thing that makes him a pariah gives him an immunity to Horseshoe Centrist's overwhelming power by legitimizing his fallacious argument (thereby connecting the horseshoe), making him the only ideology capable of fighting him.
  • Eat the Rich: While Nazi disdains individualist economic models because he believes they result in people prioritizing profit over the good of the state and the people, he doesn't have much in the way of class prejudice and is willing to utilize private enterprise for his own gain. Nazbol, however, despises the bourgeoise and wants to wipe them out.
  • Foil: To Pink Capitalism. While Pink Capitalism is a libertarian ideology who considers himself economically far-right and culturally far-left (basically like Neo-Liberalism), Nazbol is an Authoritarian ideology who sees himself as economically far-left and culturally far-right. Therefore, when the two meet, Nazbol declares Pink Capitalism the worst thing ever.
  • Foe Yay Shipping: invoked An In-Universe case of this. As per his theme song, he ships Hitler and Stalin.
  • The Friend Nobody Likes: Is kicked out of the Centrist Center due to the fact he is only a centrist in the most technical sense. Beyond that, fascists call him a communist while the communists call him a fascist and he has a spat with the Wacky Ideologies, especially when he realizes he technically does make sense to a degree. Commie and Nazi summon him when desperate to defeat Horseshoe Centrist, and just when Nazbol thinks he's made friends, Nazi rejects him for his Marxist economic views and Commie rejects him for getting in the way of internationalism.
  • From Nobody to Nightmare: One video on the question of if the channel's satire could go too far features a flashforward where Nazbol is elected Chancellor and proceeds to commit genocide on both the bourgeoisie and minority groups.
    • He invokes this trope on the Council of Wacky Ideologies, claiming his ideology is far from wacky and daring them to laugh when he actually takes power.
  • The Horseshoe Effect: Claims that it proves him rather than the other way around. Of course, it's somewhat averted as the fascists loathe his views on economic equality (and the fact that he doesn't seem to stand for any race) while commies hate his social views. Nazbol highlights the main way to achieve his ideology is to actively betray the fundamentals of either extreme. He literally fights Horseshoe Theory with the revelation that he's capable of being summoned by Nazi and Commie, which requires both to give up core tendencies of their ideology, creating a new one to prove Horseshoe Centrist right. Ironically, he believes that all moderates are the same.
  • Lethal Joke Character: Despite others regarding him as wacky and not being able to fit in anywhere, being far left economically and far right socially aren't technically mutually exclusive positions and thus a future that actually accepts him as Chancellor has him create a totalitarian state. It is later shown in "Centricide 5" that he is the only being capable of fighting off the Horseshoe Centrist when Nazi and Commie were getting their asses handed to him, as he embodies Horseshoe Centrist's fallacious argument that Fascism and Communism are the same thing and is thus immune to his power.
    • His power is hinted to be the result of not just being between two totalitarian militaristic ideologies, but because he's the inverse of the Western Neoliberal status quo, being authoritarian, culturally rightist, and economically leftist.
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed: His name is a pun on Lil Nas X and he sings a parody of one of his songs.
  • Not-So-Harmless Villain: Makes a point of how the other ideologies won't take him seriously until it's too late and he's become too powerful to be stopped.
  • Not So Similar:
    • To Anfash. Both are far-right socially and far-left economically, but Anfash is an anarchist that hates the state while Nazbol believes his traditional worker's state must be maintained via authoritarianism. Nazbol also tends to act more restrained like his Authoritarian brothers, while Anfash is as unhinged as Ancom was.
    • Like Ecofacsist, he combines far-right social views with an ideology more traditionally associated with left-wing politics. Unlike Ecofascist, he combines his fascism with communism rather than environmentalism.
    • To Sex Communist. Both combine communism with severe bigotry and fierce chauvinism, but Nazbol hates both minorities and the bourgeoise and wants to wipe them out, whereas Sex Commmunism is all about turning commodified women into involuntary sex slaves and distributing them among the "sexual proletariat", rather than killing off the supposed sexual elite that are hoarding the "poon". And while Sex Communism's entire worldview is based on openly flimsy and hole-ridden logic to justify misogyny, Nazbol's ideology does make internal sense, in as much as genocidal authoritarianism ever does.
  • Oddball Doppelgänger: The wacky equivalent of both Commie and Nazi.
  • Oxymoronic Being: Viewed as this by the other ideologies due to being simultaneously a Nazi and a communist.
  • Politically Incorrect Villain: Wants equality, but not for Jews and promises to fight for the class interests of white people. Then again he seems to be politically incorrect towards everyone.
  • Right for the Wrong Reasons: Being far left economically and far right socially technically makes him a centrist, but the understanding of the political compass would awkwardly put him between democratic moderates.
  • Throw the Dog a Bone: Is allowed to take part in the final fight in episode 8, where his blurb reveals that others might fear him due to the fact that he might make too much sense. Also, while it's presented as a possible Bad Future, he did Take Over The World Once.
  • Villain Song: Lil nas(bol). Gets another in Centricide 5, a duet against Horseshoe Centrist.
  • Yank the Dog's Chain: After demonstrating his true power level in defeating Horseshoe Centrist, he asks if this means he can finally join the anti-centrist cause... only to be firmly rejected by both Nazi and Commie.

    Post-Left 

Post-Left, Post-Host, Filthy Lifestylist

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/microphone_boye.png
"I'm your host Post-Left, but you can just call me 'Post-Host'!"

An ideology who seems to exist solely to complain about the left, only appearing in "Leftist Infighting."


  • Anthropomorphic Personification: He represents general contempt for the left (whether it is from insiders, from the center or from the right) in theory and praxis, routinely voicing his disapproval of both Commie and Ancom's beliefs and behavior.
  • One-Steve Limit: Averted. Post-Left is the first ideology to appear with his name, the second being Post-Left Anarchism, an ideology Anarcho-Communist was turned into with Political Nihilist and Ape Political's centrist powers. Regular Post-Left appears to even complain about the idea of anarchism, while Post-Left Anarchism still wants the end of the state.

    Monarchist 

Monarchist

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/monarchist.png
"I hate libtards!"

An ideology that advocates for sovereignty granted to one individual to rule a society. He only appears in "Leftist Infighting" as Post-Host shows off rightist infighting.


  • Aristocrats Are Evil: If one views him as evil. His only appearance is proclaiming how much he hates "libtards".
  • Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Monarchist very briefly appears in a video before the first Centricide video debuted. Seeing as how he's one of the most well-known authright ideologies and one of the most important systems of government in history, you'd expect him to reappear on Jreg's channel. Nope. Monarchist is never mentioned or alluded to again. Even when his anarchy counterpart, Anarcho-Monarchist, has a prominent role in the web series.
  • Enemy Mine: The "Rightist Infighting" contains little fighting, with all the right wingers agreeing they hate libtards. Even with ideologies he probably doesn't agree with, such as Ancap.

    Eco-Fascist 

Eco-Fascist

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2020_01_29_at_103644_pm.png
"I was at the climate strike to show my concern about climate change. By which I mean: climate migrants, who are going to get displaced because of climate change."

"The climate strike was simply not inclusive enough... to ecofascists, such as myself."

An ideology similar to authoritarian right but claims he cares more about the environment and climate change.


  • Color-Coded Characters: Green.
  • Insane Troll Logic: Not only does he think that poor countries and China should be left out of the discussion when combatting climate change, but he seems to think that making his nation's environment a bigger priority than everywhere else is imperative. He even acknowledges the argument that the environment is everyone's problem and dismisses the notion.
  • Not So Similar:
    • To Nazi. They look virtually identical to one another (though Nazi is blue while Eco-Fascist is green and has a leaf on his hat) and are both Faux Affably Evil with a paper-thin veneer of charisma and reasonableness. And let's not forget that they both follow forms of fascism. But while Nazi is focused on the "threat" supposedly posed by domestic minorities, Eco-Fascist is more concerned about China and climate migrants.
    • To Nazbol. Both of them combine fascism with a left-wing ideology, but Nazbol adds communism and Eco-Fascist adds environmentalism.
  • Oddball Doppelgänger: He's basically a more eco-friendly Nazi.
  • Skewed Priorities: While claims to be for fighting global warming, he seems to find the diversity in his fellow environmentalists distracting and thinks that disenfranchising climate refugees is more important.
    Eco-Fascist: It's like we're being chased by a giant bear. Sure we could all team up and fight the bear, but if I run a little faster, then maybe I'll get away.

    Just-Me Statist 

Just-Me Statist

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/just_me_statist_0.png
"It's been so long since I've heard another human voice..."

A hypothetical ideology based around the creation of a state where he exists as the the lone and only living being.


  • Anthropomorphic Personification: While not stated outright, he seems to be a personification of Solipsism (Specifically, the Metaphysical Solipsism variation, where your own mind is the only thing that exists in the universe). He can also represent autarchy, a system of rule over only yourself.
  • Beneath the Mask: During the "Just-me-thnostate" video, he acts very self-serving and affirming that he doesn't require anyone else in his state. After a few moments, however, it becomes clear that he is in denial of his desire to meet someone and ends up creating tulpas to have someone to interact with
  • The Horseshoe Effect: He describes his ideology as "Both an anarchy with no rules, and a totalitarian dictatorship". Given that he is the sole person living in it and thus is bound by no rules and is still the only "leader" of his state, he technically isn't wrong.
  • Hypocrite: In spite of saying he only needs "him" to create his society, he insists in creating Tulpas so that he won't feel lonely.
  • It's All About Me: Taken to a ludicrous extreme. He doesn't just care only about himself, he believes in a state where only he exists as the sole inhabitant of it.
  • Loners Are Freaks: His "state" is described as a world where he exists as the only person living there, and he is a borderline paranoid weirdo with a huge dose of It's All About Me.

    Egoist 

Egoist, Anarcho-Egoism, Hyper-Anarchist, Individualist

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/grej_3_5.PNG

An off-compass philosophy that embodies pure Libertarianism on the social axis, and self interest on the economic axis.

For tropes that apply to Egoist's character in his series of origin, visit the Grej character page here.


  • Canon Immigrant: He originates from the fanmade spinoff series "Realicide", confirmed to share a universe with Jreg's Centricide series in "Anarchist Infighting".
  • The Ghost: He never actually appears in the Centricide, only mentioned in "Anarchist Infighting" by Insurrectionary Anarchism to have left to join the other series because he thought the anarchists' ideologies were all "spooks."
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Hated sharing the Lib-Left quadrant as everyone in it consisted of "spooks" fighting for some arbitrary cause or for violence for violence's sake. As per Grej, he's happy to have left.

    Sex Communist 

Sex Communist

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sex_communist.jpg
"Hi. It's me, the Sex Communist. I'm a lot like the regular communist, but on top of being upset about r/MoreTankieChapo getting banned, I'm also upset about r/incel getting banned."

"Sexually dispossessed of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your virginity!"

A communist ideology with an emphasis on the sexual activities of the bourgeoise and proletariat.


  • Color-Coded Characters: Like other auth-left ideologies, his color is red. Unlike the regular Communist, his body isn't tinted red, but instead he wears his red coat.
  • Insane Troll Logic: He seems to think that Neo-liberalism is to blame for the creation of incel culture in the same way that others would view it as responsible for the rise in poverty, and he outright refuses to elaborate on his ideology at several points to emphasize the holes in his logic.
  • Mr. Fanservice: Spends his entire debut video shirtless.
  • No Celebrities Were Harmed: Reminiscent of Hugh Hefner in some aspects, with the main difference being that he outright views women as property.
  • "Not So Different" Remark: He blatantly admits that the "sex-gulags" are not that different from the regular ones.
  • Not So Similar: Like the Nazbol, he mixes far-left economic values with reactionary social values, but his prejudices are targeted at women rather than minorities. Also, while Nazbol's ideas are in line with an unusual but coherent and internally consistent ideology, Sex Communist's ideas are based largely on Insane Troll Logic.
  • Politically Incorrect Villain: He views sex in economic terms, seeing incels as proletariat robbed by the bourgeoise chads and brads, and that an ideal society will give everyone "state-mandated poon" (i.e. involuntary state-enforced prostitution).
  • Straw Misogynist: Outright sees women as a commodity to be "redistributed," and argues for literally forcing all women to be publically-available Sex Slaves.
  • Walking Shirtless Scene: Wears a suit jacket with no shirt underneath.

    State-Primitivist 

State-Primitivist, Authprim

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2021_09_03_at_90205_pm.png
"All this 'democracy' malarkey is just layers of separation between you and the primal desire to follow whoever's biggest and strongest."
"Logic has no place in politics. Politics isn't about reason. It's about the tribe and emotion."

State-Primitivism, or Authprim, is a political ideology that believes political candidates should fight to the death in displays of strength instead of debating.


  • Asskicking Leads to Leadership: His entire ideology is based on this. You bashed the dictator’s head in? Well, you’re the dictator now.
  • Blood-Splattered Warrior: He's covered in blood presumably from the duels.
  • The Dictatorship: An Authprim society would be run based on who's the strongest. The strongest one would get to make all the decisions and no one would disagree because if they disagree they'd die. Then someone would come along and bash the former dictator's head with a big rock and then that person becomes the new leader and the cycle starts anew.
  • Duel to the Death: How Authprim believes political debates should be held. No more bickering; they just fight. According to Authprim, this system is quicker, simpler, and more entertaining.
  • Foil: To Anprim. Authprim is the authoritarian counterpart to Anprim. Both advocate for forms of primitivism (represented by wielding a comically large dinosaur bone). But while Anprim is focused on technology reverting back to pre-Industrial revolution society, Authprim is focused on bringing brutal primitive morals into a modern society.
  • Violence is the Only Option: According to Authprim, "true peace can only be achieved once the opposition is in literal pieces."

Other Centricide Characters

    The East 

The East

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/theeast.png
"Stand down! It is I: The East! We have a military, and you do not!"

The physical embodiment of Eastern society who shows up in the Anarchist Uprising video intending to conquer the communes that have seized control of America.


  • Anthropomorphic Personification: Unusually not one for any given ideology, but rather the collective embodiment of non-western society.
  • Composite Character: Seemingly embodies the entirety of non-Western and non-Anglophone states.
  • Easy Evangelism: The East immediately reacts to AnCom asking why they can't all just get along by saying he had never considered that before, stops his attack and joins in chanting 'Hail Anarchy!' with the anarchists at the end of the video.
  • Heel–Face Turn: Initially intent on taking advantage of the destruction of western militaries to conquer the disarmed communes, only to decide to join them and spread leftist anarchy across the globe.
  • In Name Only: Does not display any specific characteristics of Eastern nations beyond a sign saying 'The East' on his head.
  • Take That!: An indirect one, but he's meant to represent a mockery of the "Eastern" boogeyman that has plagued western politics for generations, with no defining characteristics other than being supposedly authoritarian and not culturally progressive, laughing at western decadence and self-hating liberalism. Although "Eastern" nations are diverse with conflicting agendas amongst themselves, uses him to mock the idea of a faceless boogeyman.
    • He also does have his shit together however, which works for him in a boxing match with The "West" as The West just punches himself, likely referring to how on average, Western nations are slightly more prone to self hatred.
  • Wins by Doing Absolutely Nothing: In both videos he appears in, he ends up triumphing over his western opponents without doing anything-the anarchists take over without his intervention in Anarchist Uprising though he ends up joining them in the end and in his boxing match with The West, The West knocks themselves out before the East throws a single punch.

    The West 

The West

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2021_08_16_55428_pm.png

The physical embodiment of Western society. He appears in "The East vs The West" where he has a boxing match with The East.


  • Anthropomorphic Personification: Of Western society and culture.
  • Composite Character: He represents all countries considered to be part of "The West".
  • In Name Only: Does not display any specific characteristics of Western nations beyond a sign saying 'The West' on his head.
  • Kicking My Own Butt: In the boxing match with The East, he spends the entire time punching himself in the face until he's knocked out, without The East doing anything. This represents the in-fighting between and within Western countries.
  • Too Dumb to Live: He never gets to throw a punch at The East due to beating himself up, causing the East to win by default.

    The CIA 

The CIA, Central Intelligence Agency

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cia_0.png
"A terrorist organization?!"

"Hey buddy! Whatcha doin' there?"

The physical embodiment of the Central Intelligence Agency. Not a fan of most extremist ideologies for obvious reasons.


  • A Day in the Limelight: Appears in Insane Conspiracy Theories Dumb People Actually Believe with a Paper-Thin Disguise, “disproving” numerous conspiracy theories.
  • Berserk Button: Hearing the word 'socialism' will cause him to show up gun at the ready.
  • Early-Installment Weirdness: When this character first appeared, it was in the song "Hi, FBI" and he was not labeled as the CIA, implying that he originally was the FBI.
  • Faux Affably Evil: If one sees him as evil. He has a huge smile on his face and greets Nazi politely, but once Nazi expresses his plan for an ethno-state, he shoots Nazi like no tomorrow.
  • I Fight for the Strongest Side!: Despite being a US government agency, in the Anarchist Uprising video the CIA only takes action against Nazi when he plans to set up an ethnostate, implying he has sided with the anarchists. That or the video was mocking the American far-right fear that the CIA was only after them and would turn a blind eye to anarchism.
  • Murder Is the Best Solution: Tends to emphasize shooting extremist ideologies as his solution to radicalization.
  • Paper-Thin Disguise: Sports one in Insane Conspiracy Theories Dumb People Actually Believe, appearing without his signature sunglasses and has his sign tucked into his waistcoat.
  • While Rome Burns: Seems to have much more time hunting down Nazi in the Anarchist Uprising Video while ignoring said Anarchist Uprising burning down America.

    Accelerationism (UNMARKED SPOLIERS

Accelerationism, Hyper-Nihilist Post-Humanism

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2020_10_10_at_72607_pm_2.png
"Once I'm done with you, there will be no human aspect left!"

The monstrous entity summoned by the Radical Centrist and the Anti-Centrist.


  • Abstract Eater: Merely existing wanes the political spectrum that the other ideologies exist in, essentially making it the socio-political equivalent of a Planet Eater.
  • Anthropomorphic Personification: Of sudden ideological radicalism to enact social-change.
  • Big Bad: Of "Centricide 8", and probably the rest of the series.
  • Brown Note Being: The moment he comes into being, the other ideologies feel a sharp pain, its very existence effecting them on an existential level.
  • The Dreaded: Commie and Ancap recognize it for what it is (implying that the Extremists have encountered it before) and drop everything to try and stop it.
  • Evil Counterpart: Much like Nazbol, Accelerationism can be summoned by two opposing ideologies, but unlike Nazbol it isn't a clear mix of its parent ideologies and is a Humanoid Abomination instead of a normal (if wacky) ideology.
  • Evil Versus Oblivion: Accelerationism is definitely on the side of Oblivion and having to deal with this thing is what reunites the Extremists.
  • Humanoid Abomination: While he is basically another Jreg like the other ideologies, here Accelerationism is a giant CGI Jreg who's mere existence sparks The End of the World as We Know It.
  • Mook Maker: Its very existence spawns the Impossible Ideology Monsters.
  • Logical Extreme: Accelerationism is basically an ideology that exists beyond the political compass, his minions assimilating the other ideologies because they weren't extreme enough (including the Extremists themselves).
  • Voice of the Legion: He talks in this kind of voice....without moving his lips.
  • Walking Spoiler: You cannot talk about him without revealing Jreg's real goals.

    Impossible Ideology Monsters (UNMARKED SPOILERS

Impossible Ideology Monsters

"Centrists Detected."

"We will make Nineteen Eighty-Four...look like The Conquest of Bread!"

Entities who came into being alongside Accelerationism, mindlessly assimilating other ideologies.


  • Assimilation Plot: The Impossible Ideology Monsters are robotic entities that infect ideologies and turn them into more of their horde.
  • Black Blood: When Ancap shoots down two Impossible Ideology Monsters (one of which was Pan-Africanism), they both bleed black, fitting with their Deliberately Monochrome nature. The same thing happens when Anarcho-Monarchism slashes one of them with his sword.
  • The Corruption: They appear to be ideologies that have been Brainwashed and Crazy, able to turn them into impossibly extreme versions of themselves, including a dark-grey static affect and a mindless desire to radicalize their non-infected peers.
  • Deliberately Monochrome: In a series where nearly all of the characters are in colour, these characters are completely devoid of any colour.
  • Eviler than Thou: The first of these monsters describes ethnonationalist fascism as too moderate and vows to make Nineteen Eighty-Four look like The Conquest of Bread.
  • Hate Plague: Those turned into Impossible Ideology Monsters are turned into warped, uber-extreme caricatures of themselves. For example, Pan-Africanism turned into an ideology that desires the total annihilation of all other parts of the world except for Africa.
  • Logical Extreme: The Impossible Ideology Monsters see all other ideologies, including those who exist beyond the overton window and on the edge of the compass, as moderates and centrists that must be made more extreme.
  • Super-Strength: The first instance is introduced smashing through the Nationalist's steel doors like it was a cracker with one punch.
