Not to be confused with
Chinese Blueshirtism.
Blueshirtism is an authoritarian unity, culturally far-right, ideology based on the ideas of 
Clerical Fascism in Ireland. The ideology is practiced by the short-lived political party Army Comrades Association, later called the National Guard, then Young Ireland and for the final time, the League of Youth, well known as The Blueshirts.
The ideology is named simply after the party that is mentioned before. However, the members of that party are sometimes nicknamed "Blueshirts".
History
The history will be mainly about the party itself that uses the ideology as it's basis.
The 1932 Public Safety Act in Ireland was suspended, lifting bans on numerous organizations such as the Irish Republican Army, along with some of the organization's political prisoners released. In 1932, Ned Cronin founded the party known as the Army Comrades Association. The party is for the Irish army veterans, according to their name. They believe that freedom of speech is being 'repressed', and now providing security at events at Cumann na nGaedheal, leading to clashes between the Irish Republican Army and the Army Comrades Association. It had more than 30,000 members by September, 1932.
Some of these members later joined the irish republican army leading to yet another split between pro treaty factions of the IRA and anti-treaty factions within the IRA.
The league of youth formed as a sub-division of this movement Eoin O'Duffy the leader of the Monaghan Brigade of the Irish Republican Army and a prominent soldier in both the Spanish civil war and Irish wars of independence would eventually abandon the movement for being too pro-british so Eoin O'Duffy become a Greenshirt instead.
After Eoin O'Duffy was removed from Fine Gael along with the Blueshirts being dissolved in 1935, He founded his own political movement called the National Corporate Party aka the Greenshirts after a meeting of 500 people in June and then eighty Blueshirts have become Greenshirts. The National Corporate Party have raised funds through public dances while it promotes an independent Republic outside of the British Empire to represents the ideas of The Easter Rising 1916. The National Corporate Party have committed itself to the preservation along with promotion of the Irish language and Gaelic culture even another Irish Fascist political party called the Ailtirí na hAiséirghe/Architects Of The Resurrection does the same thing since 1942 during World War 2.
The Spanish Civil War 1936-1939 has started and Cardinal Joseph MacRory who is friends with a Carlist named Count Ramírez De Arellano suggested Eoin O'Duffy to create The Irish Brigade fight for Franco and the Spanish Nationalists but it came true but only in a year. Despite the Irish Government trying to stop The Irish Brigade from coming into Spain to fight, Eoin O'Duffy went to Spain where he meets Juan De la Cierva, Javier Ramírez Sinués, Emilio Mola & later Francisco Franco promising that 5,000 Irish volunteers would be here but in reality there were 700 and most of them came from Galway. The Irish Brigade were attached to the Spanish Foreign Legion however their excessive drinking lead to Spanish superiors critize the brigade as annoying and later during The Battle of Jarama 1937 as the Irish Brigade approaching the front line to fight but they were fired upon by a Falangist unit that left two Irishmen dead. After these events happened in the war along with more of them Eion O'Duffy let The Irish Brigade to withdraw from Spain to go back to Ireland and it was greeted by hundreds of people in Dublin but later The Irish Brigade dissolved along with the National Corporate Party.
After Eion O' Duffy returned to Ireland, he wrote a book called "Crusade In Spain" (1938) and it features the Irish Brigade but also features Anti-Masonry & Anti-Semitism because of the trade unions are directed or focused by the Communist International. Eion O' Duffy congratulated Francisco Franco for winning the Spanish Civil War 1936-1939 who later replied him back with a thank you for defending Catholicism from destruction and disorder. When World War 2 has started Eoin O'Duffy have meet with a Germany spy named Oskar Pfaus who put in touch with the Irish Republican Amry/IRA that involved in The S-Plan and later he met an Italian diplomat named Vincenzo Berardis who wanted him to create new Irish Fascist movement that unite the Irish Blueshirts and Irish Republicans together. In the summer of 1943 at a German Legation in Dublin, Eion O'Duffy wanted to organise the Irish Volunteer Legion to fight against the Soviet Union even he explained his offer to the German ambassador but it was rejected and Eion O'Duffy devolved a serious drinking problem that lead to his death in November 30th 1944.
