expulsistis

Expulsistis is a term used in hypothetical, scholarly, and fictional contexts to denote adherents of a doctrine called expulsitism that endorses the expulsion or forced removal of specified groups from a political community. The word is formed from Latin expulsus, meaning "driven out," combined with the suffix -istis, which marks practitioners or followers. Although not widely established in real-world politics, expulsistis have appeared in theoretical debates about migration policy, ethnic nationalism, and rights protections, as well as in dystopian or speculative fiction to explore the consequences of mass expulsion.

Beliefs commonly attributed to expulsitism include the view that a polity should maintain a bordered, homogeneous demographic and that certain groups pose security, cultural, or economic risks. Proponents are described as favoring legal mechanisms such as selective admission rules, revocation of citizenship, or relocation programs, and in more extreme readings, state-sponsored expulsion. However, given the term's use mostly in theoretical or fictional contexts, precise doctrines vary widely and may be intentionally provocative to critique exclusionary ideologies.

Critics argue that expulsitist policies undermine human rights, constitutional protections, and social cohesion, and they warn against policymaking that privileges ethnicity or lineage over universal rights. Because expulsitism is not a standardized movement with official organizations, discussions about the term center on concepts of sovereignty, migration ethics, and proportionality in governance.

In literature and debate, expulsitism serves as a foil to pluralist and inclusive approaches, prompting examination of how borders are imagined, enforced, and justified.
