It's not that we change our ideologies, it's the way we interpret them that changes. We've gone from the insane and homicidal McIntosh to the more progressive and even tempered Katz (Relatively, anyway.) There are still the Hard-Liners in the SCRA he has to compromise with, which is why we're still fairly Militant. Such is the way of politics, and it keeps it interesting. A perception of a perfect united front from an outside perspective, and a divided, bickering Command from the inside. (In-RP, of course, OORP we get along perfectly the great majority of the time.)
We have a leader who used to solve all his problems with violence, and then there's one who thinks forward, and is more open to diplomacy.

[1/14/2012 8:54:25 AM] Alvin: the New Economic Policy?
[1/14/2012 8:54:31 AM] Alvin: it fuels our warmachine
[1/14/2012 8:54:37 AM] Alvin: boosts our peoples morale
[1/14/2012 8:54:44 AM] Alvin: and shows all that Communism can work
[1/14/2012 8:55:15 AM] Terrance Cooper: (nerd)
[1/14/2012 8:55:28 AM] Terrance Cooper: Alvin (hug)
[1/14/2012 8:56:50 AM] Alvin: we have never persecuted the pursuit of profit
[1/14/2012 8:56:53 AM] Alvin: in fact we commend it
[1/14/2012 8:57:07 AM] Alvin: it is the pursuit of that wealth at the exploitation of others
[1/14/2012 8:57:13 AM] Alvin: that we harshly object to
[1/14/2012 8:57:16 AM] Alvin: and will grind out
We're actually an interesting mix of a number of ideologies, which I'm not going to get into, mostly because I don't know how to explain it nearly half a well as say, Alvin can.
