'''British Fascism''' (shortened to '''BritFash''') is an umbrella term used to refer to the many different [[File:Fash.png]] [[Fascism|Fascist]] movements in Britain from the early-1900s to the present day.
 
Primarially, the term is also used to refer specifically to the ideology of [[w:Oswald Mosley|Sir Oswald Mosley]], and by extension his political party: the [[w:British Union of Fascists|British Union of Fascists (BUF)]]. Hereafter, this will be refered to as '''Mosleyism'''. Mosleyism perports to be economically third positionist, [[File:Trad.png]] [[:Category:Culturally Right|culturally far-right]], [[File:Authunity.png]] [[:Category:Authoritarian Unity|authoritarian]] and [[File:Nation.png]] [[Nationalism|nationalist]], with [[File:Anticap.png]] anti-capitalist, [[File:Anticommunism.png]] anti-communist and anti-interventionist leanings.
 
==History==
Line 366 ⟶ 359:
 
===1930s===
By the 1930s, fascism had become cemented in the European (and by extension, the British) consiousness. In October 1932, Sir Oswald Mosley, formerly an MP for the Labour Party, founded the [[File:BritFash.png]] British Union of Fascists (BUF). The BUF would, by virtue of being the most prominent fascist group in Britain at the time, codify the values associated with British fasicsm (see [[British Fascism#Beliefs|below]]).
 
The BUF, in order to maintain their hegemony over British Far-Right politics, attempted to reach out to the many other fascists groups, such as the aformentioned BF (prior to their collapse) and IFL (who refused). If groups refused, the BUF physically broke up their meetings, and would attempt to disrupt them at every turn.
Line 375 ⟶ 368:
 
===Post-WW2===
After the war, Sir Oswald Mosley have created [[File:BritFash.png]] [[European Federalism|The Union Movement]] as a continuation of the old British Union of Fascists but more democratic aesthetic and much smaller then the BUF during its 1930’s heyday. The Union Movement eventually disbanded in 1973 when Mosley finally retired from politics. Mosley died in 1980.
 
Post WW2, various other British Fascist came into existence. For example, The British Movement was created by [[File:Neonazi_ball.png]] [[Nazism|Colin Jordan]] in the year 1968 after the British National Socialist Movement and in 1975 [[File:Neonazi_ball.png]] [[Nazism|Michael McLaughlin]] he became the leader of The British Movement until it was disbanded in 1983 after an election.
 
One of the most notable post-WW2 British Fascist figures was [[File:Whitesup.png]] [[White Nationalism|A. K. Chesterton]], who created The League Of Empire Loyalists in 1954 after he had fell out with [[File:BritFash.png]] Sir Oswald Mosley. This political group was rebranded into The National Front at 1967, and [[File:Neonazi_ball.png]] [[Nazism|John Tyndall]] took over as leader after it merged with his organisation, the Greater Britain Movement, in 1972. Under Tyndall's leadership it capitalised on growing concern about South Asian migration to Britain, rapidly increasing its membership and vote share in the urban areas of east London and northern England. Its public profile was raised through street marches and rallies, which often resulted in violent clashes with anti-fascist protesters, most notably the 1974 Red Lion Square disorders and the 1977 Battle of Lewisham. In 1982, Tyndall left the National Front to form a new British National Party (BNP). Many NF members defected to Tyndall's BNP, contributing to a substantial decline in the Front's electoral support. During the 1980s, the NF split in two; the [[Fascism|Flag NF]] retained the older ideology, while the [[Strasserism|Official NF]] adopted a Third Positionist stance before disbanding in 1990. In 1995, the Flag NF's leadership transformed the party into the [[Right-Wing Populism|National Democrats]], although a small splinter group, which continues to exist to this day, retained the NF name.
 
The British National Party (BNP), under the leadership of [[File:Neonazi_ball.png]] [[Nazism|John Tyndall]], was originally an openly [[File:Neonazi_ball.png]] [[Nazism|Neo-Nazi]], Anti-Semitic, and [[White Nationalism|White Supremacist]] movement. In 1999, [[File:Griffinism.png]] [[Strasserism|Nick Griffin]] took over as the BNP’s leader. Griffin sought to broaden the BNP's electoral base by presenting a more moderate image (although he and many other party members continued to hold and express fascist views in private), targeting concerns about rising immigration rates, and emphasising localised community campaigns. This resulted in increased electoral growth throughout the 2000s, to the extent that it became the most electorally successful Fascist party in British history.
Line 390 ⟶ 383:
==Beliefs==
===[[File:Fem.png]] Women's Rights and [[File:Mat.png]] Maternalism===
British Fascism strongly believes in Social Equality between the [[File:Mansphere.png]] two sexes [[File:Fem.png]]. Mosley believed that conflict between the two sexes only divides a people and creates a pointless competition between them. Mosley believed that morality must guide both sexes and that both have equal skills in what ever field they enter. British Fascism believes that women within Fascism should have fair conditions within industry, representation within parliament, special care for Mothers and their Children who would be given welfare support, equal pay, and proper education.
 
Mosley did believe though that women must understand the concept [[File:Mat.png]] maternal needs. If their nation needs assistance then women are free to take up arms, work in factories, or assist in anyway for their nation and their people. But when there is no hard times ahead and peace is established, women must return home to preform their maternal duties and raise their children to create a new and happy generation of proud British Citizens.
 
Sir Sir Oswald Mosley, the leader of the British Union of Fascists, identified himself as a feminist, aligning with his progressive stance. Similar to Mussolini, Mosley held a disdain for rigid cultural conservatism. In many ways, Mosley can be considered a progressive figure. Furthermore, the British Union of Fascists counted numerous feminists among its ranks.<blockquote>“''Question 31. Would women be eligible as representatives (i) on all Corporations, (ii) on any Corporation?''
 
''They will be eligible for all Corporations representing their industry or profession. In addition the great majority of women who are wives and mothers will for the first time be given effective representation by Fascism. A special Corporation will be created for them, which will have special standing in the State. The Corporation will deal with outstanding women's questions such as mother and child welfare. In addition, it will assist the Government in such matters as food prices, housing, education and other subjects, in which the opinion of a practical housewife is often more than that of a Socialist professor or spinster politician.''
Line 402 ⟶ 395:
''Certainly not. Fascism in Britain will maintain the British principle of honouring and elevating the position of women. We certainly combat the decadence of the present system which treats the position of wife and mother as inferior. On the contrary, we consider this to be one of the greatest of human and racial functions to be honored and encouraged. But women will be free to pursue their own vacations. Fascism combats the false values of decadence not by force, but by persuasion and example.''”
 
Sir Oswald Mosley, ''Fascism 100 Questions Asked and Answered''</blockquote>Similar to Italian Fascism, British Fascism implemented various progressive reforms for women. It was not a reactionary movement seeking to subordinate women to men or revive outdated social norms. Fascism, by its nature, always looked towards the future.
 
Norah Elam, in her 1935 essay ''Fascism, Women, and Democracy'' published in The Fascist Quarterly, expressed her views on Fascism and found the Mosleyite Fascism to be a modern and forward-thinking movement, providing a welcoming environment. Women constituted 25% of the British Union of Fascists (BUF) membership, held positions of authority and leadership within the party, and several, including Elam, were put forward as candidates for elections in 1936. The drive and dedication of these female members were appreciated and recognized within the movement.
Line 408 ⟶ 401:
Mosley observed in 1940:<blockquote>“''My movement has been largely built up by the fanaticism of women; they hold ideals with tremendous passion.''”
 
Sir Oswald Mosley, ''My Life''</blockquote>In Norah Elam's essay, published in the 1935 edition of The Fascist Quarterly, Vol. 1, No. 3, she passionately presents arguments in favor of Fascism as the genuine protector of women's interests and liberty. She also intriguingly suggests that Fascism is the natural progression of the original suffragette movement, drawing parallel points of interest between feminism and Mosleyite Fascism. Elam's essay highlights her fervor and dedication to promoting the compatibility of feminism with the principles of Fascism.<blockquote>“''In this conception of practical citizenship, the women’s struggle resembles closely the new philosophy of Fascism. Indeed, Fascism is the logical, if much grander, conception of the momentous issues raised by the militant women of a generation ago. Nor do the points of resemblance end here. The Women’s movement, like the Fascist movement, was conducted under strict discipline, and cut across all Party allegiance; its supporters were drawn from every class and Party. It appealed to women to forget self-interest; to relinquish petty personal advantages and the privilege of the sheltered few for the benefit of the many; and to stand together against the wrongs and injustices which were inherent in a system so disastrous to the well-being of the race. Like the Fascist movement, too, it chose its Leader, and once having chosen gave to that Leader absolute authority to direct its policy and destiny, displaying a loyalty and a devotion never surpassed in the history of this country. Moreover, like the Fascist movement again, it faced the brutality of the streets; the jeers of its opponents; the misapprehensions of the well-disposed; and the rancour of the politicians. It endured the hatred of the existing Government, and finally the loneliness of the prison cell and the horror of forcible feeding. Its speakers standing in the open spaces and at the street corners were denied the right of free speech; its champions selling their literature spat upon and reviled; its deputations were manhandled. Suffragettes became the sport of any rowdy who cared to take the law into his own hands. To make the analogy the more exact, no calumny was too vile and no slander too base to set about the moral character of its leaders, or the aims and objects of the women who owed them allegiance.''”
 
— Norah Elam, ''The Feminine Contribution to Fascism''</blockquote>Anne Brock-Griggs, an influential feminist and early member of the BUF, joined the movement partly due to her disillusionment with establishment conservatism. She gained recognition through her powerful speeches and was appointed as the Woman's Propaganda Officer within the BUF staff in 1935. Later, she was promoted to the position of Chief Woman's Officer, becoming the national leader of the Women's Division within the party. Brock-Griggs represented the views of female members through the Woman's Page of the party newspaper, Action. In 1937, she ran as a BUF candidate for Limehouse, East London, although her campaign was ultimately unsuccessful. She actively participated in the Peace Campaign, opposing the entry of the United Kingdom into World War II.
Line 435 ⟶ 428:
— A. K. Chesterton, ''The Fascist Attitude to Women''</blockquote>In her book ''Feminine Fascism: Women in Britain's Fascist Movement'', Julie V. Gottlieb delves into the fascinating lives of notable figures within the British fascist movement. One such individual is Mary Raleigh Richardson, renowned for her involvement as a suffragette and her infamous act of defacing the Rokeby Venus during a Votes for Women protest in 1914. Richardson's activism extended to more extreme measures, including acts of arson, vandalism at the Home Office, and even bombing a railway station, all in the pursuit of women's suffrage.
 
During the 1930s, both Richardson and her friend Mary Sophia Allen, who drew inspiration from Hitler, joined Sir Sir Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts movement. Allen, displaying a keen interest in the inner workings of Fascist regimes, embarked on extensive travels across Europe to investigate and learn from these systems. Her enthusiasm was shared by Margaret Damer Dawson, with whom she developed a profound and multifaceted relationship. Dawson and Allen cohabitated in London between 1914 and 1920, fostering both a professional and an intimate bond.
 
Prior to their involvement in the fascist movement, Allen and Dawson had been active members of Emmeline Pankhurst's Women's Social and Political Union. Notably, Allen, alongside her lesbian partner Margaret, played a pivotal role in the establishment of Britain's first division of female police officers. Their dedication to women's rights and social activism demonstrated their unwavering commitment to the cause.
Line 443 ⟶ 436:
— Mary Allen to the Daily Mail 1934</blockquote>Mary Sophia Allen's extensive travels across Europe allowed her to establish connections with prominent Fascist leaders, including Eoin O'Duffy in Ireland and Benito Mussolini in Italy. Notably, in 1934, she had the opportunity to meet Adolf Hitler and engage in discussions regarding women police. Allen's encounter with Hitler left a profound impression on her, leading her to publicly express admiration for the German leader.
 
While her affiliation with Sir Oswald Mosley's BUF was unofficial until 1939, Allen actively participated in various militant activities. In 1933, she played a pivotal role in establishing the Women's Reserve, a group aimed at serving the country in the event of subversive forces taking control. Once she officially joined the BUF, Allen became a prolific writer, contributing numerous articles to the party's newspapers, and openly identifying herself as a dedicated Fascist.
 
Julie V. Gottlieb, has argued that:<blockquote>“''Allen was a prominent supporter of Mosley's British Union, a movement she claimed she had joined due to her sympathy for its anti-war policy.''"
Line 455 ⟶ 448:
Quoting from ''Feminine Fascism'':<blockquote>“''Not only was Lintorn-Orman a single woman, but her preference for women in uniform and the paramilitary regimentation of the feminine provoked the pejorative description of her as a ‘mannish-woman'.''”
 
— Julie V. Gottlieb, ''Feminine Fascism''</blockquote>Lintorn-Orman's inclination towards the presence of women in uniform can be interpreted through the lens of masculine inclinations, lesbian eroticism, and a broader enthusiasm for patriotic conformity. However, as her movement gradually disintegrated, she receded into relative obscurity. Lintorn-Orman's descent into addiction, particularly to drugs, lesbianism, and alcohol, compounded by her politics, it contributed to her marginalization to genuine Fascist organizations such as Sir Oswald Mosley's BUF.

While his beliefs and ideology changed as he grew older, Mosley did believe that the races and nationalities of the world can work together and form friendship with one another but must remain restricted by borders to preserve the individual identities of these people and prevent Globalism. In his words: '''"We can live in peace and friendship side by side in separate nations and separate developments. But we cannot have the mix up of the peoples and races who are widely different divergent. It will lead to nothing but trouble!".'''

'''Griffinism''' is a variant of British Fascism, based on the views of Nick Griffin. It is primarily influenced by [[File:Strasser.png]] [[Strasserism]], emphasising a strong [[File:Anticap.png]] anti-capitalist presence while still remaining opposed to [[File:Ormarxf.png]] [[Marxism]]. They believe in [[File:Ethplur.png]] [[Ethnopluralism]] and promote unity between racial nationalists of all groups to join together to end [[File:Multicult.png]] [[Multiculturalism]]. They have supported [[File:Blacknat.png]] [[Black Nationalism|Black Nationalists]] such as [[File:Garveyism.png]] [[National Capitalism|Markus Garvey]] and [[File:Black_Islamism.png]] [[Black Islamism|Louis Farrakhan]], aswell as [[File:IslamNat.png]] [[Religious_Nationalism#Islamic_Nationalism|Islamists]] including [[File:Gaddaficap.png]] [[Gaddafism|Muammar Gaddafi]] and [[File:Khom.png]] [[Khomeinism|Ayatollah Khomeini]].
