Was there a named political movement associated with 19th century romanticism (1800-50)? Would it be correct to identify it with pre-Marxist socialism? Would make sense since culturally it was a reaction to late 18th century enlightenment liberalism (~1750-1800 by my reckoning)

not sure anything big enough to be called a movement would also be called socialist before Marx. I know old lefties felt part of a lineage that went back to French Revolution, but they were on the side of reason and enlightenment. (they thought Marx was science)

All ideologies believe they’re on the side of reason. The difference tends to lie in how they treat subjectivity.

romanticism is less an ideology than marxism: more of a mood. interested in your thoughts re: subjectivity.

Yeah that’s why I was trying to find a political counterpart. Somebody recently said all ideologies are aesthetics and I tend to agree. Where there’s a mood there’s an ideology.

tldr of my view of politics of subjective/objective: Objective views of subjectivisms tend to create institutions. Subjective views of objectivisms tend to drive revolutions.
