IF GOOD, KIND KING GUILLAUME WERE STILL AROUND, HE'D DRIVE THE MONEYLENDERS AND THE HOMO-SEXUALS BACK INTO THE OCEAN! ONCE WE WERE AN OCTOPUS THAT STRADDLED THE WORLD, SUCKING UP NATURAL AND HUMAN RESOURCES FROM IILMARAA TO SOUTH-EAST SEOL. THE CITY STATE THAT SCREWED THE WHOLE WORLD. THEN DERANGED COMMIES PUSHED THE KING UNDER A STREET CAR AND LOST THE CIVIL WAR TO FOREIGN INTERVENTION, DAMNING US TO FINANCIAL SERVITUDE. [Harrier Du Bois' inner voice summarizes fascism] – {{{3}}}

Fascists are the polar opposite of Communists and one of the political forces in Revachol.

Ideology

Identifiable by their brown colors, fascists are frequently euphemistically called loyalists or royalists, especially by those old enough to remember the Suzerain of Revachol. The old monarchy was steeped in supremacist ideas, helped by its status as an interisolar superpower and the autocratic structure of power. Domestic unrest, the Antecentennial Revolution, and subsequent invasion and occupation by the Coalition took Revachol from a superpower to an occupied nation, in thrall to the capitalist nations comprising the Coalition, fueling resentment and making fascism an attractive ideology for those who failed to adapt or bear grudges.

Those who believe in Revacholian Nationhood commonly believe in the supremacy of the state over the individual and blame foreigners for problems of their own making. The attitudes vary. Most believe that the expulsion of immigrants (i.e. anyone with a skin of a different palette than theirs), degenerates (i.e. communists, socialists, homosexuals, people who enjoy beer), and foreign powers (the Coalition) would usher in a new era of prosperity and might for the great male fascist. However, fascists disagree on the particulars. Fascists like Measurehead do not pine for the return of the old Revachol, but firmly believe in the creation of a new, aeropagite superstate where the master race would rule over the lesser races. Unlike vanilla fascists, these supremacists base their beliefs in science - really, really bad science.
