I don't know. Create a new one. Come up with novel ideas to deal with unprecedented events and situations such as the one we currently find ourselves in. Learn from history, but never use it as a template. I'm generally not big on cure all ideologies and gurus. In general, systems are only as good as the people utilizing them, hence what matters are the people themselves, not some rigid formula they follow.

I think it's important to maintain a firm moral foundation without the baggage of previous atrocities and decades of ingrained propaganda. Virtue matters to Europeans, hence virtue signalling is used as a potent weapon by people who hate Europeans. That doesn't mean that idealism is inherently bad, only that it can be perverted by hostile people in power, as is most definitely the case now.

If your ideology is based on might makes right, you will wind up with people who will run when faced with long odds. I get so annoyed at all this talk of black pills and white pills. Who gives a shit. If you are standing for what's right that is all that matters. The odds of winning and losing can change continually. The darkest times are right before the dawn as they say. In 1987 no one imagined the Soviet Union would collapse just a few years later so outward appearances can be deceptive.

In the 21st century only a system based on direct democracy can function. And thanks to technology, it can attain levels of perfection that were unimaginable. Imagine electoral promises recorded in a blockchain, and then the votes. Accountability.

But for such a system to work well, power must be distributed as locally as possible. Avoiding centralization also largely avoids corruption.

It's a system, not an ideology, because ideologies cannot function anymore, not with the "richness" of diversity we have in most nations. But you would find neighborhoods and towns with impressive ethnic concentrations, and the direct democracy would allow a people to make as many rules as makes sense, for themselves, within the greater framework.

So in a sense, it's a system that allows for ideologies, to each (group) their own.
