Futurism

Futurism was an Italian political ideology which was authoritarian, economically third position and culturally far-left although unconventionally so.

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.
