Silver Legionism

Silver Legionism is a fascist ideology representing the ideas of the Silver Legion of America. It is culturally far-right, economically centered, and has uniquely 1930's American characteristics, such as non-interventionism and opposition to President Roosevelt's New Deal; in addition, it has  Clerical Fascism, American  Nationalism,  Corporatism, Anti-Communism, racism and racial segregation integrated into its beliefs.

Silver Legionism hoped to create a "Christian Commonwealth" without Jews or non-whites, which would be brought about by a "Silver Revolution" that would put the organization's leader, William Pelley, in power.

History
William Dudley Pelley was born in the year 1890 and lived in poverty but became part of the Red Cross to help wounded White Russians in Siberia in a brutal civil war but later becomes a Hollywood screenwriter for Lon Chaney's films along with entering the  Esoteric world in 1928.

William Dudley Pelley, becomes an admirer of Adolf Hitler, founded the Silver Legion of America on January 31, 1933, modeling his group after  Mussolini's Black Shirts, just a day after Adolf Hitler became the Chancellor of Germany. In doing so, Pelley became one of the very first Americans to create an organization praising the work of Hitler. Pelley held many rallies and speeches around the country and used his prior columnist skills to create newspapers and magazines spreading his ideology. By 1934 the Silver Legion had 15,000 members; however, this number would greatly decline as years went on.

Pelley would unsuccessfully run for office in the 1935 Presidential Election under the Christian Party, only receiving 1,600 votes. In 1940, the Silver Legion's headquarters in Asheville, North Carolina, was seized and raided by the HCUA, forcing Pelley to relocate to Noblesville, Indiana, and fight lengthy and expensive legal battles. After Japan bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7th and America declared war on Japan a day later, Pelley was led to disband the Silver Legion. He continued to attack the government in his magazines, which later prompted him to get arrested and in April of 1942 get charged with several accounts of sedition and high treason. He was set to serve 15 years in prison, but only served 8 before being paroled and released. Several members of the Silver Legion went on to become high-ranking officials of other groups such as Aryan Nations, The John Birch Society, and Posse Comitatus.

Personality and Behavior
Silver Legionism is wildly racist and has a unique sense of fashion. He is also highly into spiritualism and ufology, so much that ufology is like a new religion for him. He spends most of his time doing stuff like writing books or trying to use spiritualism as a means of contacting extraterrestrials who will help kickstart the Silver Revolution. He is a big fan of George Washington, who he celebrates because he believes he is a fascist hero.
