History
Portuguese National Syndicalism
![](/images/thumb/OrderOfCristCross.png/180px-OrderOfCristCross.png)
National Syndicalism in Portugal was characterized by the condemnation of the
totalitarianism present in
German and
Italian societies during the 1930s, its leader,
Francisco Rolão Preto, declared during a banquet that the
National Syndicalist Movement was "beyond
democracy,
fascism and
communism".
The National Syndicalist Movement had a strong
Catholic inspiration, with the
Order of Christ Cross being their symbol, they were very popular among university students and young soldiers. It endorsed
Catholic social teaching,
Christian personalism,
integralism,
municipalism and a restoration of the
traditional monarchy and were opposed to
communism and
capitalism. Its members were also known as the Blueshirts, as they used blue shirts as uniforms.
Its leader, Francisco Rolão Preto declared on an interview to the United Press that: "
fascism and
hitlerism are
totalitarian, divinizers of the State and
caesarists: we pretend to find in the
Christian tradition of the
Portuguese people the formula that allows the harmonization of the sovereignty of the national interest with the moral dignity of free men."
He criticized the Estado Novo for adopting a single-party system typical of
fascism, which he hated, due to this criticism, the
national syndicalist journal 'Revolução!' was suspended on 24 July. On November of the same year, the
national syndicalists split, the majority decided to support
Salazar and integrate the party with the
União Nacional, abandoning the principles of partisan independence defended by
Rolão Preto and
Alberto Monsaraz.
On 10 July 1934, Rolão Preto was arrested and subsequently exiled and on 29 July of the same year,
national syndicalism was forbidden by the
salazarists.

Italian National Syndicalism
In the early 20th century, nationalists and
syndicalists were increasingly influencing each other in
Italy. From 1902 to 1910, a number of
Italian
revolutionary syndicalists including
Arturo Labriola,
Agostino Lanzillo,
Angelo Oliviero Olivetti,
Alceste De Ambris,
Filippo Corridoni and
Sergio Panunzio sought to unify the Italian
nationalist cause with the
syndicalist cause and had entered into contact with Italian nationalist figures such as
Enrico Corradini. These
Italian national syndicalists held a common set of principles: the rejection of
bourgeois values,
democracy,
liberalism,
marxism,
internationalism, and
pacifism while promoting heroism, vitalism, and violence. Not all
Italian revolutionary syndicalists joined the
fascist cause, but most
syndicalist leaders eventually embraced
nationalism and "were among the founders of the
fascist movement," where "many even held key posts" in
Mussolini's regime.
Benito Mussolini declared in 1909 that he had converted over to
revolutionary syndicalism by 1904 during a general strike.
Enrico Corradini promoted a form of
national syndicalism that utilized
maurassian nationalism alongside the
syndicalism of Georges Sorel.
Corradini spoke of the need for a
national syndicalist movement that would be able to solve
Italy's problems, led by
elitist
aristocrats and
anti-democrats who shared a
revolutionary syndicalist commitment to direct action through a willingness to fight.
Corradini spoke of
Italy as being a "proletarian nation" that needed to pursue
imperialism in order to challenge the
"plutocratic" nations of
France and the
United Kingdom.
Corradini's views were part of a wider set of perceptions within the right-wing
Italian Nationalist Association (ANI) that claimed that
Italy's economic backwardness was caused by corruption within its political class,
liberalism, and division caused by "ignoble socialism". The
ANI held ties and influence amongst
conservatives,
Catholics, and the business community.
A number of Italian fascist leaders began to relabel
national syndicalism as
Fascist syndicalism.
Mussolini was one of the first to disseminate this
term, explaining that "
Fascist syndicalism is national and productivistic… in a national society in which labor becomes a joy, an object of pride and a title to nobility." By the time
Edmondo Rossoni became secretary-general of the
General Confederation of Fascist Syndical Corporations in December 1922, other
Italian national syndicalists were adopting the "
Fascist syndicalism" phrase in their aim at "building and reorganizing political structures… through a synthesis of State and labor". An early leader in
Italian trade unionism,
Rossoni and other
fascist syndicalists not only took the position of radical nationalism, but favored "class struggle". Seen at the time as "radical or leftist elements,"
Rossoni and his
syndicalist cadre had "served to some extent to protect the immediate economic interests of the workers and to preserve their class consciousness".
Rossoni was dismissed from his post in 1928, which could have been due to his powerful leadership position in the
Fascist unions, and his hostilities to the business community, occasionally referring to
industrialists as "vampires" and "profiteers".
With the outbreak of World War I, Sergio Panunzio noted the national solidarity within
France and
Germany that suddenly arose in response to the war and claimed that should
Italy enter the war, the
Italian nation would become united and would emerge from the war as a new nation in a
"Fascio nazionale" (national union) that would be led by an
aristocracy of warrior-producers that would unite
Italians of
all classes, factions, and regions into a disciplined socialism.
In November 1918, Mussolini defined national syndicalism as a doctrine that
would unite economic classes into a program of national development and growth.

Wait, why are you looking at me weird?Sorelianism - A huge influence on most of us, especially on Cercle Proudhon.
Stop looking at me weird!Welfare Chauvinism - Good direction by far, you are slowly getting there. But you have to reject completely the Free Market. At least SD had already embraced the 3rd position and works with trade unions.
Francoism - You abandoned national syndicalism for him!?

French Fascism - I thought he would follow my ideology but he betrayed France.
Marxism–Leninism - You have some good ideas but I am not
Nazi.
National Conservatism - Ayy, you get me pretty much! But be more pro-unionist.

Can I join the GANG?Strasserism - A bit too Racialist socially, plus you're associated with
Nazis, but you are still better than
them.
Marxism - I like the idea of class struggle but why so materialistic? Also a
h*gelian.
Socialism - You taught me how to strike and I respect you for that, but please embrace nationalism.
Yellow Socialism - Syndicalist and Nationalist? Based! But capitalism is cringe.
Fascism - You did a good job spreading my ideas but why the Hegelianism and Totalitarianism?
Nazism - Even worse when you put racialism over syndicalist ideals. But you and Mussolini were a good help for the Spanish National Syndicalists.
Enemies
Capitalism - Dehumanizing system!
Neoliberalism - Your economic and social policies are revolting.
Neoconservatism - Fake conservative, he leaves economic disasters wherever he goes.
Progressivism - A tool to legitimize the rule of the bourgeoisie.
