'''Falangism''', is an economically third position (but usually left-leaning), culturally right wing, [[File:Ethnonat.png]] [[Ethnonationalism|ethnonationalist]] (but highly supports race mixing, claiming that the intermixing of the Spanish race and other races has produced a "Hispanic supercaste" that is "ethically improved, morally robust, spiritually vigorous") authoritarian and nationalist ideology originating from Spain. It places a large emphasis on hierarchy, authority and order, and is opposed to communism and liberal democracy. Falangism believe in uniting all of Spain using violence, thus it heavily opposes regional [[Separatism|Separatist]] movements. It believes in a form of [[File:PanHisp.png]] [[Pan-Nationalism|pan-Hispanic nationalism]] known as HispinidadHispanidad. It also believes in strict adherence to traditional gender roles.
 
Economically, Falangism believes in [[File:Sorelia.png]] [[National Syndicalism]]. It calls for [[File:Farm.png]] [[Agrarianism|agrarian]] reform, and expansion of [[File:Indust.png]] [[Industrialism|Industry]]. Generally, it supports private property, although it advocates for the nationalization of credit. It believes in class collaboration.

In August 1933, José Antonio Primo de Rivera signed the "Pacto de El Escorial" ("El Escorial Pact"), wherein a pact of solidarity was formed between Spanish monarchists and the MES-FE. On 29 October 1933, in the midst of an electoral campaign, the MES held a rally at the Teatro de la Comedia in Madrid and re-founded itself as the Falange Española.[
 
 
 
===[[File:Falange2.png]] FET y de las JONS===
Another famous example, the National Syndicalist party that formed in 1937 from the merger between the '''Carlist''' party and the '''Falange Española de las JONS'''. After the [https://www.britannica.com/event/Spanish-Civil-War Spanish Civil War], they were combined with several other Nationalist parties, however there was a great amount of tension between the Falangists and the Carlists which ended up manifesting itself in violence with the [[w:Basilica_of_Bego%C3%B1a|Begona Incident]].
Line 122 ⟶ 125:
By the middle of World War two, the party began to stress the unique "Spanish Catholic authoritarianism" of the Falange, as well as switching gears from being a political party to being a movement. The movement slowly died out until 1965, when the SEU (the student organization of the movement) was dissolved. [[w:FET_y_de_las_JONS|More info]]
==Beliefs==
Falangism places a strong emphasis on the Roman Catholic religious identity of Spain., However,though it has heldmaintained some secular views onregarding the Catholic Church's direct influence on Spanish society,since. oneOne of the tenets of the Falangist ideology holdsis that the state should have thehold supreme authority over the nation. Falangism emphasizesunderscores the neednecessity for total authority, hierarchy, and order inwithin society. LikeSimilar to fascism, Falangismit is anti-communist, anti-democratic, and anti-liberal.
 
The Falange's original manifesto, the "Twenty-Seven Point Program of the Falange", declared Falangismsupport to supportfor the unity of Spain and the elimination of regional separatism, calling for the establishment of a dictatorship led by the Falange, usingthe politicaluse violenceof aspolitical a meansviolence to regenerate Spainthe Spanish nation, and promoting the revival and development of thea Falnge-led new Spanish Empire, all; attributes thatwhich italigned hadthe inmovement commonclosely with fascismfascist principles. The manifesto also calledadvocated for a national syndicalist economy and advocated, agrarian reforms, industrial expansion, and situational respect for private property, with thean exception offor nationalizing credit facilities to prevent usury.
 
Falangism has positioned itself against both the political left and right, identifying them as its "enemies." It claims to be neither left nor right, but rather a syncretic third position, underscoring its unique ideological blend and its aim to create an alternative to traditional Spanish political categories.
The Spanish Falange and its affiliates in Hispanic states around the world promoted a form of pan-Hispanism known as ''Hispanidad'' that advocated both the cultural and economic union of Hispanic societies around the world. This is similar to other pan-nationalist movements.
 
Falangism has attacked both the political left and the right as its "enemies", declaring itself to be neither left nor right, but a syncretic third position.
 
=== Racialism ===
SomeWhile ofFalangism thedoes involve certain racialist elements, its primary focus is on cultural and spiritual strength rather than biological purity. Even tho some Falangists in Spain had supported racialism and racialist policies, (viewing races as real and existingentities with differingdistinct strengths, weaknesses, and accompanying cultures inextricably obtained with them. However, unlike other racialists such as the Nazisculture), Falangism isdoes unconcernednot aboutemphasize racial purity and does notor denounce other races for beingas inferior like National Socialism. Instead, claimingit claims "that everyeach race has aits particularown cultural significance" and claimingasserts that the intermixing of the Spanish race andwith other racesothers has producedcreated a "Hispanic supercaste" that is "ethically improved, morally robust, and spiritually vigorous."<ref>Roger Griffin (ed). ''Fascism''. Oxford; New York: Oxford University Press, 1995. p. 190.</ref>. It was less concerned about biological Spanish racial regeneration than it was in advocating the necessity of Spanish Catholic spiritual regeneration.[18] Some have nonetheless promoted eugenics designed to eliminate physical and psychological damage caused by pathogenic agents. Falangism did and still does support natal policies to stimulate increased fertility rate among ideal physically and morally fit citizens. The section in Spanish Guinea allowed Emancipados into its ranks. In 1938 in Santa Isabel, Fernando Póo, now Malabo, Equatorial Guinea, there were two units of native Falangists and four of Europeans. In 1959, the Female Section extended its teaching to Guinean women to prepare them for independence.
 
Falangism is more focused on the spiritual regeneration of Spanish Catholicism than on biological racial regeneration. While some Falangists have promoted eugenics to eliminate physical and psychological damage caused by pathogens, the movement primarily supports natal policies to increase fertility rates among physically and morally fit citizens. Notably, the Falangists in Spanish Guinea included Emancipados in their ranks, reflecting a degree of inclusivity. By 1938, in Santa Isabel (now Malabo, Equatorial Guinea), there were two units of native Falangists and four of Europeans. In 1959, the Female Section extended its teachings to Guinean women to prepare them for independence.

==== Hispanidad ====
 
The Spanish Falange and its affiliates in Hispanic affiliatesstates havearound the world promoted a form of pan-Hispanism known as ''Hispanidad'' that advocated both the cultural, economic and racialeconomic unityunion of Hispanic peoplessocieties around the world in "hispanidad".[10] It has sought to unite Hispanic peoples through various proposals to create a sort of commonwealth or federation ofbetween Spanish-speaking states that would have been headed by Spain. This isidea served as a precursor tofor similar political views such as Alexander Dugin's concept of Dasein but within a spanish perspective.
 
=== Answer to the Jewish question ===
The founder of the Falange Española, José Antonio Primo de Rivera, had little interest in addressing the "Jewish problem" outside areas of political issues. The Falange's position was influenced by the fact of the small size of the Jewish community in Spain at the time that did not favourfavor the development of strong antisemitism. Primo de Rivera saw the solution to the "Jewish problem" in Spain as simple: the conversion of Jews to Catholicism as consistent with previous answers to the Jewish question in Spain. However, on the issue of perceived political tendencies amongst Jews, he warned about Jewish-Marxist influences over the working classes. The Falangist daily newspaper ''Arriba'' claimed that "the Judeo-Masonic International is the creator of two great evils that have afflicted humanity: capitalismCapitalism and Marxism". Primo de Rivera approved of attacks by Falangists on the Jewish-owned SEPU department stores in 1935.
 
=== Economics ===
Falangism supports a national, trans-class society while opposing individual-class-based societies such as bourgeois or proletarian societies. Falangism opposes class conflict. José Antonio Primo de Rivera declared that "the State is founded on two principles—service to the united nation and the cooperation of classes".
 
Falangism in Spain, as promoted by Primo de Rivera, advocated a "national -syndicalist" economy that rejected both capitalism and communism. Primo de Rivera denounced capitalism for being an individualist economy at the hands of the bourgeoisie that turned workers "into a dehumanized cog in the machinery of bourgeois production," andwhile denouncedalso denouncing state socialist economies for "enslaving the individual by handing control of production to the state."
 
The Falange's original manifesto, the "Twenty-Seven Points", called for a social revolution to create a national syndicalist economy that creates national syndicates of both employees and employers to organize and control the economic activity mutually. It further advocated agrarian reform, industrial expansion, and tolerance for private property but subject to the social function. In any case, the property iswas to be restricted to the satisfaction of basic needs . Private control over the means of production willwould have never bebeen allowed. It willwould have also nationalizenationalized credit facilities, as to prevent capitalist usury. The manifesto also supported criminalization of strikes by employees and lockouts by employers as illegal acts, while mirroring social democratic policies in supporting state jurisdiction over the setting of wages.

===[[File:AnFalange.png]] Pedro Durruti Thought===
Line 162 ⟶ 158:
In 1937, amidst the Spanish Civil War, Pedro was imprisoned in the San Marcos prison in Leon. At 26 years old and dressed in the blue overalls of the Falange with his arm raised, Pedro Durruti was shot by a firing squad in El Ferral de Bernesga, León, at six o'clock in the afternoon of August 22, 1937. Accused of participating in Manuel Hedilla's conspiracy, Durruti was a victim of the purges by the Francoists against those members of the Falange accused of being leftists, as was the case of the orthodox followers of Ramiro Ledesma Ramos. Denigrated as "a robber like his brother Buenaventura", the exact reason for his death was due to concerns that he had joined the Falange solely to infiltrate it with socialists and sow division among the nationalist faction.
===[[File:Kataeb.png]] Gemayelism / [[File:LebaneseForces.png]] Geageaism===
'''Gemayelism''' is an economically centre-right and culturally far-right ideology based on the views of former Lebanese president, Lebanese Forces founder and former leader of the Phalanges, Bachir Gemayel. [[File:Kataeb.png]] Phalanges Bachir Gemayel.
 
'''Geageaism''' is based on the political ideology of the current leader of the Lebanese Forces, Samir Geagea.
===The Lebanese Kataeb Was not Fascist===
The Lebanese Kataeb was a paramilitary anti-communist group that followed the status quo in Lebanon except they wanted to emulate the fascist aesthetics of Mussolini such as discipline and nationalism. Their party was more inline with a paramilitary YMCA than any fascist group.
====Fascist Aesthetics====
"The Kataeb party was established on November 5, 1936 as a Maronite paramilitary youth organization by Pierre Gemayel who modeled the party after Spanish Falange and Italian Fascist parties he had observed as an Olympic athlete during the 1936 Summer Olympics held in Berlin, then Nazi Germany. The movement's uniforms originally included brown shirts and members used the Roman salute." This passage shows how the aesthetic was what drove Pierre not any actual fascist doctrine.
 
 
He(Pierre) founded the party along with four other young Lebanese: Charles Helou (who later became a President of Lebanon), Chafic Nassif, Emile Yared and Georges Naccache.
====Economic liberalism====
[https://countrystudies.us/lebanon/85.htm "The Phalange Party motto is "God, the Fatherland, and the Family," and its doctrine emphasizes a free economy and private initiative. Phalangist ideology focuses on the primacy of preserving the Lebanese nation, but with a "Phoenician" identity, distinct from its Arab, Muslim neighbors. Party policies have been uniformly anticommunist and anti-Palestinian and have allowed no place for pan-Arab ideals."]
 
No fascist believes in leaving the fate of the country to the free market, that is a liberal economic philosophy.
====Western Reaction to SSNP====
The foundation of the Syrian Social Nationalist Party by Antun Saadeh in 1932 was the trigger for the establishment of the Kateb Party, since the former actively tried to influence Lebanon towards the Syrian interests, leading to direct challenge for Lebanese nationalists. The founders of the Kataeb Party were young, French-educated and middle-class professionals who committed to independent and Western-oriented Lebanon. Charles Helou, who later served as Lebanon's president from 1964 to 1970, was one of the founders. By the time of his presidency, however, Helou was no longer a party member, and Gemayel unsuccessfully opposed him in the presidential election of 1964.
 
'''Geageaism''' is based on the political ideology of the current leader of the Lebanese Forces, Samir Geagea. [[File:LebaneseForces.png]]
The creation of the Kataeb was a reaction based on a western oriented reaction to block the SSNP from removing western influence from the levant.
====Conclusion====
The beliefs of the Lebanese Kataeb align more with national conservatism because of their lack of syndicalist rhetoric, their focus on national sovereignty, their privatization free economy rhetoric, and their alignment to western states like Israel.
 
Despite being placed on the Falangism page this ideology has little to do with the ideology of Primo De Rivera or the Falange in general. The group was primarily a hristian paramilitary group that wanted to emulate the aesthetics of fascism. One of the main discrepencies between falangism and the lebanese was their view on economic liberalism where the lebanese stated the following: [https://countrystudies.us/lebanon/85.htm "The Phalange Party motto is "God, the Fatherland, and the Family," and its doctrine emphasizes a free economy and private initiative. Phalangist ideology focuses on the primacy of preserving the Lebanese nation, but with a "Phoenician" identity, distinct from its Arab, Muslim neighbors. Party policies have been uniformly anticommunist and [[File:AntiPalestine.png]] anti-Palestinian and have allowed no place for pan-Arab ideals."] The beliefs of the Lebanese Kataeb align more with national conservatism because of their lack of syndicalist rhetoric, their focus on national sovereignty, their privatization free economy rhetoric, and their alignment to western states like Israel.
