{{Quote|
quote="There is no question of ever accepting Nazi representatives in the Austrian cabinet. An absolute abyss separates Austria from Nazism. We do not like arbitrary power, we want law to rule our freedom. We reject uniformity and centralization. . . . Christendom is anchored in our very soil, and we know but one God: and that is not the State, or the Nation, or that elusive thing, Race."

'''Austrofascism '''is an [[File:Authunity.png]] Authoritarian Unity ideology that believes in a form of [[File:Fash.png]] fascism that had uniquely Austrian characteristics such as Austrian nationalism, Catholicism, Corporatism, and it opposed Pan-Germanism. He is very clumsy, germanophobic, and very religious.
 
=== Creation===
It all started on May 1933. The "Fatherland Front" was founded by Chancellor Dollfuss as a mergerm erger of his Christian Social Party, the Heimwehr forces and other right-wing groups, and was intended to collect all "loyal Austrians" under one banner. In 1934 the [[File:Socdem.png]] [[Social Democracy|Social Democratic]] parties paramilitary was disbanded by the government and shortly after the [[File:ML.png]] [[Marxism–Leninism|Communist]] and [[File:Nazi.png]] [[Nazism|Nazi]] parties were banned. On 12 February 1934 the remaining paramilitary rebelled against their disbanding which started a 5 day civil war which resulted in a Fatherland Front victory. After that the [[File:Socdem.png]] [[Social Democracy|Social Democratic]] Party was banned and its members in government replaced with VF members.
 
===Corporate state===
On 1 May the Federal State of Austria was declared a one-party state under the authoritarian leadership of the VF. Thereafter the VF were the only real party that stood a chance of doing anything in Austria. Dollfuss remained its undisputed leader until his assassination during the [[File:Nazi.png]] [[Nazism|Nazi]] July Putsch on 25 July 1934. He was succeeded by Ernst Rüdiger Starhemberg succeeded him, while his VF fellow Justice Minister Kurt Schuschnigg became chancellor. In 1936, Schuschnigg also took over the leadership of the VF. He declared the VF the only legal party. This is when they started using the crutch cross as its symbol and the party flag became the second official flag for Austria.
 
===Anschluss===
Schuschnigg acknowledged that Austrians were Germans and that Austria was a "German state" but he strongly opposed an ''Anschluss'' and passionately wished for Austria to remain independent from Germany. The fate was sealed for Austria when Mussolini teamed up with Germany. To ease tensions, Schuschnigg pardoned several conspirators of the 1934 July Putsch and let some into government positions. After a meeting between Hitler and Schuschnigg the situation was clear, Germany was going to annex Austria. Schuschnigg tried to prevent this with a referendum and unbanning the [[File:Socdem.png]] [[Social Democracy|Social Democrats]] but it was too late. Schuschnigg resigned and Germany annexed Austria. The VF were the immediately banned, ending VF rule in Austria.
 
==Beliefs ==
Austrofascism believes in in a form of fascism that had uniquely Austrian characteristics such as Austrian nationalism, [[File:Catheo.png]] [[Catholic Theocracy|Catholicism]], [[File:Corptism.png]] [[Corporatism]], [[File:Authoritarian_Conservatism.png]] [[Authoritarian Conservatism]], [[File:Cfash.png]] [[Clerical Fascism]], and[[File:Agrnac.png]] [[National Agrarianism]], along itwith opposedopposition to [[File:Lib.png]] [[Liberalism]], [[File:ML.png]] [[Marxism–Leninism|CommunistCommunism]], [[File:Cap.png]] [[Capitalism]], and Pan-Germanism[[File:PanGerman.png]] [[Pan-Nationalism.png#Pan-Germanicism|Pan-Germanism]]. They also say they implemented the form of government and society the social teaching of Pope Pius XI's 1931 encyclical ''Quadragesimo anno''.
 
===Economy===
==Personality and Behavior ==
While in power, Engelbert Dolfuss sought to modernize Austria in a way that respected the traditions and unique character of Austrian life. Dolfuss implemented a careful economic regime which sought to [[File:Fiscon.png]] [[Fiscal Conservatism|balance the budget]], [[File:Distributist.png]] [[Distributism|ensure a just distribution of economic power]], and promote [[File:Cfash.png]] [[Clerical Fascism|Judeo-Christian values]]. A key feature of Austrofascism was its implementation of austerity measures. Dollfuss aimed to reduce unnecessary spending and foster a society that embraced a more straightforward way of living, aligning with his Catholic belief in living modestly for God and family. This approach was a response to the encroachment of consumerism in neighboring countries like Czechoslovakia, which threatened traditional values. Dollfuss saw it as a method to trim excess, combat superficial consumerism, and promote a devout and ascetic lifestyle in service of God. Dollfuss advocated for a blend of Christian corporatism inspired by Seipel, a proponent of Catholic social teachings. This ideology called for a "corporated" state to supersede the existing parliamentary system, drawing on encyclicals like Rerum Novarum by Pope Leo XIII and the corporate state concept from fascism. The aim was to establish the Austrian state as the foundation of society, with Catholicism as a guiding principle for political culture and the economy. Under this system, every member of a specific economic sector must join an officially sanctioned interest group. These groups, categorized by industry or occupation, would then hold public status and participate in national policymaking. Consequently, the state would exert significant influence over these corporate groups while the groups would regulate their members. Despite having Ludwig von Mises as an economic advisor, there is no convincing evidence that his Laisse policy was implemented in Austria.<ref>[The Dollfuss/Schuschnigg Era in Austria: A Reassessment (Contemporary Austrian Studies)]pg 76</ref>
 
==Personality and Behavior ==
Austrofascism is very clumsy. He usually seen dropping things like his food, drinks, grenades and overall just being very clumsy. He is also very germanophobic. He is usually seen going on long rants on why the Germans (specifically [[File:Nazi.png]] [[Nazism|Nazis]]) suck and just being rude to any German ideology he sees. He is also very religious. Usually seen in a catholic church praying and overall acting very catholic.
