File:AuthNatCon.png Franz von Papen was a German military officer and politician. He joined the military in 1898 and in 1914 was involved in the Mexican Revolution, trying to get the country into the German sphere of influence. During World War I, he was a military attaché and spymaster in Washington. Papen was also involved in the Hindu-German conspiracy, aimed to cause pan-Indian rebellion against the British rule. Next, he returned to Germany and fought on the Western Front.

During communist uprising in the Ruhr, he led a File:Freikorps.png Freikorps unit. Then, Papen re-entered politics, again as a member of Centre Party. He was a File:Monarch.png monarchist and supported a restoration of the constitutional monarchy. Within his party, Papen represented a national-conservative wing of the party that rejected both File:Republicanismpix.png republicanism and the File:Cball-Germany.png Weimar coalition.

Main Articles: File:Necon.png Neoconservatism and File:Reactlib.png Reactionary Liberalism

File:ShinzoAbe.png Abeism, also known as Abenomics , is the ideology of former File:Cball-Japan.png Japanese prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who ruled from 2006 to 2007, and again from 2012 to 2020. Abe was a member of the File:LDP(Japan).png Liberal Democratic Party, which has been the rulling party since 1955. Abe was also a member of the File:NeoShowa.png Nippon Kaigi, a Japanese ultranationalist organization who has denied Japanese war crimes. Abe was assassinated on July 8th, 2022 by former Navy veteran File:TetsuyaYamagami.png Tetsuya Yamagami, who targeted Abe for his connections to the Unification Church.

Abenomics

Mr Abe's signature economic programme was the set of policies that he introduced from 2012.

His plan was to jumpstart Japan's economy out of two decades of stagnation using the so-called three "arrows" of Abenomics:

Monetary policy: Japan's hyper-easy monetary policy in the form of negative short term interest rates was put in place to make it cheaper for consumers and companies to borrow money and spend.

Fiscal stimulus: Pumping money into the economy, which means the government spending more money on things like infrastructure, or giving financial incentives to companies like tax breaks.

Structural reforms: Corporate reform, adding more women into the workforce, labour liberalisation, and allowing more migrants into the workforce to help ease labour pressures and add to economic growth.

Did Abenomics work?

As an exercise in political branding, Economists considered Abenomics a success, though it fell short of Mr Abe's own key economic target.

When his government took office it was faced with the task of revitalising Japan's once dynamic economy, which was still in the shadow of the major slowdown during the so-called "lost decade" from around 1991 to 2001.

Abenomics did help drive growth, though not at the pace that the country had seen during its post-war boom. Even now, the size of the economy remains lower than the 600 trillion yen (£3.7tn; $4.4tn) goal set by Mr Abe's administration for 2020.

But as he left office many economists credited Mr Abe for putting the country in a more robust position to withstand economic shocks like the pandemic than when he came to office almost eight years earlier.

Shinzo Abe's economic legacy

Mr Abe's economic approach was called into question when Japan slipped back into recession in early 2020.

He also faced criticism over how he dealt with Covid in the country. He mounted campaigns to encourage domestic tourism which opponents said contributed to a resurgence in infections.

Critics also say Abenomics failed deliver on pledges such as giving women in the workforce more of a voice, tackling nepotism and changing unhealthy work cultures.

However, on Friday, Bank of Japan governor Haruhiko Kuroda said Mr Abe had done much towards "pulling Japan out of prolonged deflation" and "achieving sustained economic growth".

He added he wanted to "express sincere respect for Abe's strong leadership", and "contribution to Japan's economic development".

File:Olszewski.png Jan Olszewski

• File:Olszewski.png Jan Olszewski was Polish lawyer and File:Conservative.png conservative politician. During File:Cball-PRPoland.png communism he defended members of opposition. Later, he joined File:Solidarność.png Solidarity movement. After first free elections, he became Prime Minister of Poland. Due to his strong File:Anticommunism2.png de-communization efforts his government lost majority and was dismissed.

Jan Olszewski was born in 1930 in family sympathizing with File:PPS.png PPS party. He self-described as sympathic to socialist causes. During World War II, he joined File:Kotwica.png Grey Ranks (resistance scouting organization) and took part in 1944 Warsaw Uprising. In post-war File:Cball-PRPoland.png Poland he graduated and became journalist. He spent long hours interviewing First Secretary of File:PZPR.png PZPR party, File:Gomułka.png Władysław Gomułka. In March 1956, he was one of authors of article demanding rehabilitation of File:Kotwica.png Home Army soldiers, repressed by communist authorities. The same year, "Po prostu" magazine was closed down by the authorities. In 60s, Olszewski joined the Crooked Circle Club - discussion club critical of communist regime. He soon become known as most famous defence attorney in political trials, defending: poet Janusz Szpotański, writer Melchior Wańkowicz, political activist Jacek Kuroń and historian Karol Modzelewski. This resulted in his professional activity being banned in 1968. Two years later he was allowed to return to his activity. In 1975, he signed Letter of 59, an open letter opposing changes in republic's constitution.

Jan Olszewski took part in 1989 Round Table talks. He also run in 1989 (partially-free) elections. He represented in File:Solidarność.png Solidarity Citizens Committee and was elected MP. In 1990, he was one of founders of File:PC-party.png Centre Agreement party. He and his party were supporters of File:Walesa.png Lech Wałęsa, endorsing his candidacy during 1991 presidential election. After electoral victory, Wałęsa decided to appoint new prime minister. President asked Olszewski to take the position, but he refused. Finally, Jan Krzysztof Bielecki was appointed Prime Minister. His government, supported by File:KLD-party.png Liberal-Democratic Congress, File:PC-party.png Centre Agreement and File:ZChN.png Christian National Union, lasted for the rest of 1991. After parliamentary election the same year, government collapsed. Next government, created by File:PC-party.png PC and File:ZChN.png ZChN, was led by Olszewski. As a prime minister, he pursued strongly File:Atlanticism.png atlanticist foreign policy, falling in conflict with File:Walesa.png Wałęsa over withdrawal of Soviet troops - President supported transferring the military bases to international companies with Prime Minister strongly disagreeing with his proposal. Olszewski's government was minority one, depending on conditional support of other parties. He slowed down File:Balcerowicz.png Balcerowicz plan, which caused more File:Lib.png liberal parties to turn away from the government.

Olszewski's government wanted to expose former agents of communist secret services. Resolution demanding so was passed with half of MPs absent. Interior Minister, Antoni Macierewicz, sent list of communist secret services' agents to all parties. First version of the list included various politicians, with the second one even including File:Walesa.png Wałęsa. President met with opposition and accused Olszewski of planning a coup. The meeting ended with them agreeing to dismiss the government and create new, caretaker one. Motion of no confidence was passed in the midnight, these events are known as "the nightshift". Olszewski's government was replaced by one led by President's allied File:PSL.png PSL politician Waldemar Pawlak. Yet, the new prime minister soon failed to gain majority and was replaced by Hanna Suchocka. Olszewski soon left File:PC-party.png PC and founded Movement for the Republic - File:Distributist.png distributist, File:Protect.png protectionist and File:Cdem.png Christian Democratic party.

He lost his seat after 1993 elections. Next, Olszewski run in 1995 presidential election, finishing fourth. As a result of his strong performance, he and his supporters founded Movement for Reconstruction of Poland (ROP). Movement was File:NatCath.png Catholic nationalist, strongly File:Anticommunism2.png anti-communist and File:Welf.png welfarist. Initially, ROP was about to get around 16% of votes in 1997 parliamentary election. However, the polls changed after creation of File:Conservative.png conservative File:Solidarność.png Solidarity Electoral Action (AWS). In 2000 Olszewski again run in presidential election but later withdrew and endorsed File:Solidarność.png AWS candidate. He regained his seat in Sejm after 2001 election, with ROP being allied to File:Lpr-icon.png League of Polish Families. Soon, Olszewski's party broke with File:Lpr-icon.png LPR. Over the years, former Prime Minister grew more sceptic towards the File:Cball-EU.png European Union. In 2006, Olszewski was appointed adviser to President File:Lechkacz.png Lech Kaczyński.

ZChN was File:SocialConservative.png socially conservative and File:Christianright.png Christian Right party. Its leader was Wiesław Chrzanowski - File:EndecjaPix.png National Democratic politician and former soldier of File:Kotwica.png Home Army.

Founded in 1989, ZChN party soon aligned itself with File:PC-party.png Centre Agreement. In 1990 presidential election both parties endorsed File:Walesa.png Lech Wałęsa. ZChN's popularity started to increase before 1991 parliamentary elections, mainly thanks to so-called "three musketeers of ZChN" - MPs Marek Jurek, Jan Łopuszański and Stefan Niesiołowski. In said elections relatively new party won 8,74% of votes, finishing as third. With 49 seats in Sejm and 9 in Senate, the party became part of Jan Krzysztof Bielecki cabinet, together with File:KLD.png Liberal-Democratic Congress and File:PC-party.png Centre Agreement. Chrzanowski became Marshal of Sejm, as well as Minister of Justice. In December 1991 new government was created - this time led by Jan Olszewski from File:PC-party.png PC party. As major coalition partner, ZChN gained more representatives in government - Zbigniew Dyka became Minister f Justice, Antoni Macierewicz became Minister of Internal Affairs, Piotr Naimski became chief of State Security Department, Jerzy Kropiwnicki became Minister off Labor and Marcin Gugulski became government's spokesman. After government's attempt to expose former agents of communist secret services, the motion of no confidence was passed by Sejm.

Personality and Behavior

NatCon usually looks down upon moderate nationalists as he thinks they're all fake and that he is the only File:TrueNationalism.png "true nationalist".

It's important to not confuse NatCon and File:Authoritarian Conservatism.png AuthCon. Despite both ideologies holding the same stances on social and cultural issues, NatCon is concerned about the nation, while AuthCon is more about state power, with the latter sometimes being anti-nationalist (see: Yanukovych, Lukashenko, etc.).

He usually hangs out with File:Nalib.png National Liberalism and File:Conlib.png Conservative Liberalism, with the former sometimes getting into disputes due to being less culturally consistent. His other best friends are File:Patcon.png Paternalistic Conservatism and File:Natlib.png National Libertarianism. He treats File:Altl.png Alt-Lite as his younger apprentice.
