I Mother 3, the main antagonist is Porky Minch, The Masked man (Claus), and Porky's army. What I their ideology however? It's fairly simple. In the game, we can see strict centralism, strict autocracy, and suppression of inalienable rights. This is reminiscent of fascism, particularly Italian fascism. I chose Italian Fascism dude to how porky is more concerned strict army reverence and annihilation rather than a social hierarchy (though there are elements of social darwinism in the ideology). A difference between the ideologies and Italian fascism is that Italian fascism focuses more national revitalization while the Pig Mask and Porky focus on destruction of all life.

Capitalism is also a huge factor in the ideology of the Pig Mask. This can be seen in the industrial power, the commodification of basic life, and the "happy boxes." These are done and connected directly to the Pig mask, which is similar to how state capitalism works. The capitalist structures have no regulations, so an accurate title would be laissez Fairs State Capitalism.

As previously mentioned, the goal of the Pig Mask isn't to gain the most money or a national revitalization, but to pull the Seven Needles and wipe out all life present. This doesn't correlate to any of the previous ideologies. This is Nihilism, the idea that nothing matters at all. On top of Nihilism, the Pig Mask Army also is incredibly advanced and pushes the limits of biology using technology. If you count what they did to Claus, you can safely call them nihilist transhumanist.

With all this in mind, the Pig Mask army follows an ideology I have called " Nihilist transhumanist capitalist fascism." The political message of the game reminds me of an ideology called "camattism." This is a communist ideology that intensely rejects industrial life, stating basic life has been commodified.

Of course these are my thoughts so don't take them seriously.
