Everything about National Syndicalism totally explained
National syndicalism is a variant of
syndicalism typically associated with the
labor movement in
Italy which would later become a basis of
Benito Mussolini’s
National Fascist Party.
Outlook
Unlike
anarcho-syndicalists,
trade unionists, and
Marxist elements of the Italian labor movement, the national syndicalists supported Italy’s involvement in
World War I. They also rejected the
internationalism of the
anarchists and Marxists in favor of
militarism and
nationalism.
National syndicalists imagined that the
liberal democratic political system would be destroyed in a massive
general strike, at which point the nation’s economy would be transformed into a
corporatist model based on class cooperation, contrasted with Marxist class struggle. (see the
Nazi model of
Volksgemeinschaft).
Some famous advocates of National Syndicalism are the Italian
Alceste De Ambris,
British Union of Fascists leader Sir
Oswald Mosley, and Italian Fascist Party member
Sergio Panunzio.
Iberian context
National syndicalism in the
Iberian Peninsula is a political theory very different from the fascist idea of corporatism, inspired by
Integralism and the
Action Française (for a
French parallel, see
Cercle Proudhon). It was formulated in
Spain by
Ramiro Ledesma Ramos in a manifesto published in his periodical
La Conquista del Estado on
March 14,
1931.
National syndicalism was intended to win over the anarcho-syndicalist
Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT) to a corporatist nationalism. Ledesma's manifesto was discussed in the CNT congress of 1931. However, the National Syndicalist movement effectively emerged as a separate political tendency. Later the same year,
Juntas de Ofensiva Nacional-Sindicalista was formed, and subsequently fused with
Falange Española and, in 1936, with
Carlism. It was one of the ideological bases of
Francoist Spain, especially in the early years.
The ideology was present in
Portugal with the
Movimento Nacional-Sindicalista (active in the early 1930s), its leader
Francisco Rolão Preto being a collaborator of Falange ideologue
José Antonio Primo de Rivera.
The Spanish version theory has influenced the
Kataeb Party in
Lebanon and various
Falangist groups in Latin America.
