Clerical Fascism

Clerical Fascism, clipped to Clerfash, is a totalitarian, culturally far-right and economically mid-left to mid-right ideology. Clerfash is a child of Fascism and  Christian Theocracy and believes that a fascistic political system should be explicitly religious and serve the interests of the church as well as of the nation. Many see Clerfash as an evil ideology based simply on his identity politics, however he is tolerated by other Christian ideologies such as Christian Democracy.

History
Romania's Ion Antonesu founded Clerical Fascism in 1935. It has few examples of successful regimes, however there have been multiple attempts at creating a Clerical Fascist state.

[[File:Legion.png]] The Iron Guard
Perhaps the most famous example, the Iron Guard was a Romanian Fascist political party created in 1927 by Corneliu Zelea Codreanu. Originally called the Legion of the Archangel Michael, the political party was officially dissolved multiple times before coming into power on the 14 of September, 1940 after the assassination of Cordreanu. It only stayed in power for 5 months before being betrayed by the Prime minister, Ion Antonescu, and was banned on the 23rd of January, 1941. More info

National Synarchist Union
The UNS was a Mexican Clerical Fascist party founded in May of 1937 by Jose Antonio Urquiza. During the second world war, the government attempted to "tame" them, and when this failed they decided they must be controlled. All UNS meetings were banned, at the same time the party was fracturing. The party eventually split in two when the leader was replaced. The deposed leader started his own party, and both claimed they were the true UNS. Ultimately, they were outmaneuvered by the government, who openly supported both Catholicism and worker's rights, which basically occupied the political space that would normally be associated with critics from both the right and the left, thus taking all of the political power away from them. They were never disbanded however, and exist even to this day, with two political factions. More info

The Lapua Movement and IKL
The Finnish Lapua movement was founded in 1929 as a self described anti-communist people's movement. It was fanatically Lutheran, Finnish nationalist and also anti-Russian. It's leader was a farmer named Vihtori Kosola and it's support came largely from the Ostrobothnian region, especially the small town of Lapua where it was founded.

It started to gain public attention when they attacked a group of young communists having a meeting at the Lapua labor house where they according to the Lapua movement were committing blasphemy and mocking the fatherland. The Lapua Movement considered this absolutely outrageous and several Lapua movement supporters charged right in led by Vihtori Kosola himslef and started tearing the red shirts off the communist youths. This resulted in a massive brawl and the outnumbered Lapua movement men beat up several communists, and the rest fled while the Lapua movement closed the workers house believing it was a communist traitor stronghold.

After this incident The Lapua Movement continued beating up leftists, burning labor houses and sabotaging leftist newspaper presses. They were known for their infamous practice of "muilutus" where they transported suspected communists by force with with cars illegally behind the Soviet border and beat them up. These practices were widespread and the right-wing parties in charge considered this a necessary evil and didn't do anything to stop it, for a long time, the Mäntsälä rebellion however, was too much even for them. The Lapua movement was disarmed by the president in a radio speech and was followed by a political party called the IKL. More info

[[File:Ustase.png]] Independent State of Croatia
The Independent State of Croatia, a Nazi puppet state during World War II, led by the fascist Ustaše regime with their leader Ante Pavelic, committed genocide against Slavs, Jews and Romanis. Greatly influenced by Nazi racial theory, the Ustaše saw themselves not as Slavs, but Goths, and viewed the groups that they genocided as untermenschen. Ironically, they viewed Muslim Bosnians as Croats, and as a result did not persecute them. Towards the end of the war, many tried to surrender to the Allies, but were instead handed over to the Yugoslav Partisans. Tito and his Yugoslav Partisans, wanting revenge, massacred thousands of Ustaše and other Nazi collaborators, in various "pits" such as the Barbara pit, which became known as the Bleiburg repatriations.

Personality
Clerical Fascism is usually portrayed as an extreme Romanian Orthodox that usually really dislikes other religions. He absolutely hates all forms of degeneracy (as according to the Bible), and usually takes a hard-line view of race and nationality, not unlike National Socialism. He is usually very haughty, but he is extremely orderly and his loyalty will never wear out. His favorite book is the handmaidens tale, as it portrays him as the leading force in the former United States, but he likes to rip out the ending where it implies gilead is not immortal and ever standing.
