Crusade of Romanianism

"I no longer believe in any idea, in any party, in any man. By logical consequence: there is nothing that would determine me to take on the role of a militant for any doctrine or program. I AM THE ETERNAL OPPONENT."

Crusade of Romanianism is an economically left-wing, File:Libsoc.png libertarian, File:InfReactionaryism.png culturally far-right and File:Ultranat.png ultranationalist ideology. It is File:Anticap.png anti-capitalist, File:Anticommunism2.png anti-communist, File:AntiNazism.png anti-Nazi, File:Antifa.png anti-Fascist and hates some Jews for Economic Reasons.

History

Originally called the White Eagles, Crusade of Romanianism was a splinter group of the File:Legion.png Iron Guard, created by Mihail Stelescu and Alexandru Talex to offer an alternative to all the political parties that were present at that time in Romania. Later, Panait Istrati would join The Crusade after an exchange of letters back and forth between the three figureheads, and he will add his own thoughts and ideas to the mix aswell.

The group will start to experience hardships first with the death of Istrati, and later on because of the assassination of File:StelescuThought.png the original founder of the movement by File:Legion.png a death squad. What followed soon was a short disintegration of The Crusade, mainly due to the fact that no one was pleased with the new Leadership and soon resignations started to appear, leading to a total dissolution in 1937.

Beliefs

The main ideas that seemed to revolve around the movement were a mix of Anti-Authoritarianism, File:RevNat.png Revolutionary Nationalism (Because the Group was set on "reviving" a "New Romanian") and a strong support for a Socialistic Economy.

The Crusade rejected any implementation of File:Fash.png Fascism, File:Nazi.png National Socialism, Bolshevism on File:Cball-Romania.png Romanian land, and strove for originality in finding solutions for the problems the country was facing at that time. They expressed their hatred for all the parties in File:Cball-Romania.png Romania, stating that they are nothing more than cheap copies of something they saw abroad, as well as seeing them as a type of "gang loyalty" that should be directed to the Nation as a whole instead.

There are some variations to those beliefs in the File:PanaitIstratiThought.png File:StelescuThought.png two main figureheads of The Crusade. File:StelescuThought.png Stelescu was much more anti-Marxist than Istrati, proposing instead for everyone to come together and form a File:NationalistSoc.png "Worker's Nation" with a bottom-up hierarchy. File:PanaitIstratiThought.png Istrati, on the other hand, took much more inspiration from File:Orthlen.png Lenin and File:Trot.png Trotsky, praising the former as being a File:TharMonarch.png "True Monarch" and the latter for his File:Dem.png democractic ideas.

Personality and Behavior

Crusade of Romanianism is an eccentric, very nationalistic Romanian who enjoys reading novels by Panaiti Istrati and his nation's traditions. He is more of a loner and is not well-known, much less understood as an ideology. His views are seen as rather wacky by the File:Legion.png Iron Guard's main wing and is often mocked or shunned by them. Yet, he still aggressively criticizes Capitalism, File:Ormarxf.png Communism, File:Sec.png Authoritarianism, File:Nazi.png Nazis, File:Fash.png Fascists, File:Jewish Capitalism.png Rich Jews and the Iron Guard's leaders with a burning passion.

Relationships

Friends

File:Strasser.png Strasserism - We are the exact same, just that you're a statist. However, both leaders of our respective parties purged us all the same.
File:Libsoc.png Libertarian Socialism - Decentralization and fighting capitalism and oppression are very important. If only you weren't a degenerate nowadays...

File:JewTheo.png Jewish Theocracy - I am not against the common, religious Jew, but against the bourgeois, atheist Jew.

File:Nazbol.png National Bolshevism - I mean, ultranationalism and some elements of Socialism are cool. Not to mention that you're mostly popular in Eastern Europe. But you are a Nazi-Stalinist amalgamation, and I oppose both.

↑ "For the good management of a state, it is necessary to form an elite of leaders. There is no possibility of a regime without this elite. It must command, dictate, and the subordinate elements should execute. The elite must have a leader, its exponent, born from within itself, and by no means should the leader choose, out of the desire to be a chief, a staff of bowing servants. This elite, in turn, must not create subordinate elements as partisans, because in this case the collaboration is not done by virtue of a belief, but of an interest, and since there is interest, there is compromise and the goal it's missed. I do not understand, for example, why, since the incapacity of a minister is found and his ousting is predicted, this ousting brings with it the fall of the entire government, through the pressure of the clique and personal partisans, at the mercy of the latter."

Either of these two things can be leveled through another education and a fair distribution of wealth. Marxists condemn the class struggle where native, fundamental differences still can and do exist.
