	Ideologies similar to Ascensionism have existed throughout all of kerbin's history, but ascensionists point to [[Solaria]] in particular as pioneers of early forms of Ascensionism. The growth of the ideology began due to The Ascensionist Edict by [[Frei-ako Tengin]], coining several terms and defining much of the theory and philosophy. In this sense the legacy of [[Nemqurpolitik]] and the Sahren [[Svobodism\|Svobodist]] economic system is felt strong in the foundation of Ascensionism, particularly in the collectivist and autarkic aspects of it. Due to it's near coinsidence with the [[Aughtafael Coup]] it is also heavily influenced by a large distrust of engaging in diplomacy with foreign powers, to the point where the radicals saw Ascensionism as the only way [[Sahr\|Sahrland]] could survive the 23rd century. Tengin himself had similar sentiments, shown by the quote :		Ideologies similar to Ascensionism have existed throughout all of kerbin's history, but ascensionists point to [[Solaria]] in particular as pioneers of early forms of Ascensionism.

Social progress itself is not denounced, as Ascensionists believe the culture will adapt naturally as long as faith can be kept in the society as a whole. This principle has been criticised by many as it appears to contradict the stated goal of supporting the arts and sciences, and the neccessary cultural changes an ascenionist state will be made to implement in order to achieve it's goals.

	Tengin noted that in order to maintain steady Ascension, centralised authoritarianism is needed as a necessary evil. A strong centralised state is thought to guide the process the most efficiently. The Ascensionist Edict stated the term "Ideological watering down", a process in which an ideology becomes infiltrated by stagnant and corrupt influencers as it gains popularity. Avoiding a watered-down leadership in a centralised Ascensionist state is said to be the largest issue with the ideology. Should such a process occur it would result in a state which expresses power over its subjects by accusing them of stagnant materialism.

	Spreading Ascensionism as an ideology was described in the Edict as a process which cannot come from a group of conspirators seizing power. By this method it places the pursuit of Ascension in the hands of the elite who are led by Ascensionists. This elite has an interest in either destroying the system it is in so their wealth and influence can be expanded, or restricting advancements in knowledge so only a select few oligarchs can influence the masses. Tengin wrote that Ascensionism must come as an institution from the lower class upward to avoid this. Ascensionism differs from technocracy in this, as the former is the pursuit of progress as a goal with every individual expected to play a part while the latter can simply be any government which places the most knowledgeable individuals in charge.
