As the title says, if the Ideology system from Civ5 BNW were to make a reappearance, what ideologies would you like to see?

For my part? Fundamentalism, Totalitarianism & Egalitarianism (Socialism?) are the ones I'd most like to see.

Just curious/theory-crafting.
 
I think those three (fundamentalism, totalitarianism and egalitarianism) would be great as a start. They cover the 3 big ideology types we see in the world today. Maybe there could also be a "neutral" ideology for civs that want to stay out of the other 3. After all, there would nations during the Cold War that refused to be part of either bloc. So a "neutral" ideology could represent that.
 
Didn't they like, evolve per era? So something like this:

Ancient Era: Depotism, Oligarchism, Tribalism?

Medieval Era: Absolutism, Feudalism, Theocracy?

Renaissance Era: Nationalism, Monarchism, Republicanism,

Industrial Era: Communism, Fascism, Capitalism.

Information Era: Fundamentalism, Egalitarianism, Totalitarianism are expansive enough.

Future Era?: Transhumanism, Neo-Luddism, Ecocentrism?

No, in BNW Ideologies only kicked in around the Industrial Era.
 
ideologies are just modern religions.
prohphets should be able to spawn in the later eras and create new powerful religions unlocked by era
those could be nationalism, communism, environmentalism, egalitarianism
i think it would be fun if religions had a positive impact if there were about 20% believers in your cities but negative if more than that (penalties to culture and science because of fanaticism) and if there were several conflicting ideologies, there was unrest, barb spawning etc
