Futurism was an Italian political ideology which was authoritarian, economically third position (usually leaning left) and culturally extremely far-left, but romanticizes violent, culturally-right fascists because they are (allegedly) needed to help bring forward the collapse of ALL reactionary cultures!

Futurism believes in rejecting anything from the past as much as possible, as well as the cultivation and normalisation of extreme violence. Futurism is heavily influential to the rise of Fascism in Italy, and subsequently around the world.

History

Futurism began as an Avant-Garde movement on February 5th, 1909 in Italy when Filippo Tommaso Emilio Marinetti published "The Manifesto of Futurism" in the magazine La gazzetta dell'Emilia, later republished in the French newspaper Le Figaro. Futurism was characterised by a fetishisation of everything new: industry, technology, automobiles, planes, youth, speed and violence, and conversely a rejection of anything seen as old. Futurism often had nothing in the way of limits, seeking to offend more than to please, futurist plays would often involve their audience in non-consenting ways like glueing their clothes to their seats.

Futurism however was just as much a political movement as it was an artistic one. The ideology not only loathed anything that glorified the past or present, but often stood in the way of progressive, pacifistic or any movement that wasn't ultranationalist, with many futurists openly declaring themselves enemies of such movements.

In 1918, Marinetti founded the Futurist Political Party, which espoused much of the political philosophy of the movement, though it would merge into Benito Mussolini's Fasci Italiani di Combattimento, allowing the art style to flourish as the official style of Fascist Italy.

In contemporary times, Futurism is essentially dead as both a political and artistic movement. Although recent interest in the ideology has come from the Hearts of Iron IV mod: Red Flood.

Personality and Behaviour

Futurist is often written as a manic artist who is obsessed with things that are new and go fast. If he is angered (which is very easy to do), he will immediately resort to violence.

Stylistic Notes

Futurist is constantly obsessed with speed. This can result in him suddenly yelling in all-caps, all bolded or even having his words run into each other with no spaces.

  1. ↑ The Futurist Manifesto: '8. We are on the extreme promontory of the centuries! What is the use of looking behind at the moment when we must open the mysterious shutters of the impossible? Time and Space died yesterday. We are already living in the absolute, since we have already created eternal, omnipresent speed.'
  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 The F-words, or How Futurism Helped Fascism: 'The toxic political atmosphere of interwar Italy had a significant impact on futurism. Countless futurist works of art during the Fascist regime depicted Mussolini as a powerful leader who would help Italy prosper through his leadership and totalitarian rule. Futurist art intended to inspire nationalist feelings among Italians by promoting ideas of national unity, strength, and militarism, and by displaying Fascist symbols. Futurism gave Fascist propaganda a veneer of artistic legitimacy while Fascism gave futurists official recognition and funding. However problematic, this alliance between artists and politicians helped further each group’s respective goals.'
  3. ↑ The Manifesto of the Italian Futurist Party: 'The Futurist political party which we are founding today, and which we will organize after the war, will be clearly distinct from the Futurist art movement. This will continue in his work of rejuvenating and strengthening the Italian creative genius. The futurist art movement, the avant-garde of the Italian artistic sensibility, is necessarily always ahead of the slow sensibility of the people. It therefore remains an avant-garde often misunderstood and often opposed by the majority who cannot understand its astonishing discoveries, the brutality of its polemical expressions and the reckless impulses of its intuitions. The Futurist political party, on the other hand, senses the present needs and interprets the conscience of the whole race exactly in its hygienic revolutionary impulse. All Italians, men and women of all classes and ages, will be able to join the Futurist political party, even if they are denied any artistic and literary concept. This political program marks the birth of the futurist political party invoked by all Italians who are fighting today for a younger Italy freed from the burden of the past and from the foreigner. We will support this political program with the violence and futurist courage that have characterized our movement in theaters and squares up to now. Everyone in Italy and abroad knows what we mean by violence and courage.'
  4. ↑ The Futurist Manifesto: '11.We will sing of the great crowds agitated by work, pleasure and revolt; the multi-colored and polyphonic surf of revolutions in modern capitals: the nocturnal vibration of the arsenals and the workshops beneath their violent electric moons: the gluttonous railway stations devouring smoking serpents; factories suspended from the clouds by the thread of their smoke; bridges with the leap of gymnasts flung across the diabolic cutlery of sunny rivers: adventurous steamers sniffing the horizon; great-breasted locomotives, puffing on the rails like enormous steel horses with long tubes for bridle, and the gliding flight of aeroplanes whose propeller sounds like the flapping of a flag and the applause of enthusiastic crowds.'
  5. ↑ The Manifesto of the Italian Futurist Party: '10. Industrialization and modernization of dead cities that still live on their past. Devaluation of the dangerous and uncertain industry of the stranger. Development of the merchant marine and river navigation. Canalization of waters and reclamation of malarious lands. Valuing all the strengths and wealth of the country. Stopping emigration. Nationalize and use all waters and mines. Granting its exploitation to local public bodies. Concessions to cooperative industry and agriculture. Consumer defense.'
  6. ↑ The Futurist Manifesto:'9. We want to glorify war — the only cure for the world — militarism, patriotism, the destructive gesture of the anarchists, the beautiful ideas which kill'
  7. ↑ The Manifesto of the Italian Futurist Party: '5. To replace the current rhetorical and quietist anti-clericalism with an anti-clericalism of action, violent and cut, to free Italy and Rome from its theocratic Middle Ages which will be able to choose a suitable land where to die slowly. Our very uncompromising and integral anti-clericalism constitutes the basis of our political program, does not admit half terms or transactions, clearly demands expulsion.'
  8. ↑ Manifesto of Fascist Struggle: 'WE WANT: [...] b) - The seizure of all the goods of the religious congregations and the abolition of all the bishops' canteens, which constitute an enormous liability for the nation, and a privilege of a few.
  9. ↑ The Manifesto of the Italian Futurist Party: '8. Preparation of the future socialization of the lands with a vast state property through the ownership of the Pious Works, of the Public Bodies and with the expropriation of all uncultivated and badly cultivated lands. Vigorous taxation of inherited assets and limitation of degrees of succession. Tax system based on direct and progressive tax with full assessment. Freedom to strike, to assemble, to organize, to press. Transformation and purge of the Police. Abolition of the political police. Abolition of army intervention to restore order. Free justice and elective judge. The minimum wages high in relation to the necessities of existence. Legal maximum of 8 hours of work. Equalization to equal work of women's wages with men's wages. Fair laws in the individual and collective employment contract. Transformation of charities into assistance and social security. Workers' pensions.'
  10. ↑ Manifesto of Fascist Struggle: 'For the social problem: WE WANT: a) - The prompt promulgation of a state law that establishes a legal eight-hour working day for all workers. b) - The minimum wage. c) - The participation of workers' representatives in the technical functioning of the industry. d) - The entrustment of the management of industries or public services to the proletarian organizations themselves (whether they are morally and technically worthy of it). e) - The rapid and complete settlement of railway workers and all transport industries. f) - A necessary modification of the invalidity and old age insurance bill, lowering the age limit, currently proposed at 65, to 55.' 'For the financial problem: WE WANT: a) - A strong extraordinary tax on capital of a progressive nature, which takes the form of true PARTIAL EXPROPRIATION of all wealth. b) - The seizure of all the goods of the religious congregations and the abolition of all the bishops' canteens, which constitute an enormous liability for the nation, and a privilege of a few. c) - The revision of all war supply contracts, and the seizure of 85% of war profits.'
