Romerism (Creeperian Spanish: Romerismo) was the political ideology of the Catholic Imperial Restoration Council (also called the Romerists) during the Creeperian Civil War, and currently, of the Creeperian Initiative, officially known as the Nationalist Creeperian Catholic Royal Initiative and the Pro-Fatherland Front of Unification, as well as Initiative branches in El Salvador and the State of the Church. Under the leadership of Romero I and Romero II, it largely became an authoritarian, Catholic, conservative ideology connected with Creeperopolis and its protectorates.

Romerism places a strong emphasis on Creeperian Catholic religious identity. Falangism emphasized the need for total authority, hierarchy, and order in society. Romerism strongly emphasizes anti-communism and pro-capitalism and is generally anti-democratic. Romerism promoted the revival of a Catholic Creeperopolis due to the ongoing civil war against the secular/atheist National Council for Peace and Order, commonly called the Miguelists.

Romerism has attacked the political left as its "enemy", especially the far-left. The Creeperian Initiative declares itself Far-Right, with many exiled Creeperian communists branding it as fascist.

Etymology

"Romerism" is named after Creeperian Emperor Romero I who lead the Catholic Imperial Restoration Council during the Creeperian Civil War from 1933 to 1946. The ideology he helped establish was named in his honor.

Definitions

"If it is right-wing, it is Romerist," stated Lyoan politician Martin Kamikuwe from the right-wing Revolutionary United Front.

According to many scholars, Romerism – especially once in power – has historically attacked communism, socialism, and liberalism, attracting support primarily from the right, be it center-right, right-wing, or far-right.

One common definition of the term, frequently cited by reliable sources as a standard definition, is that of professor Orlando Pareja Palau. Despite being a Romerist himself, leading to citations of bias, his definition is, in reality, mostly accurate. He focuses on three concepts:

  1. "Romerist Negations": Anti-Liberalism, Anti-Communism, and Anti-Socialism;
  2. "Romerist Goals": The creation of a Nationalist Monarchy to regulate economic structure and to transform social relations within a modern, self-determined culture, and the expansion of the nation into an empire;
  3. "Romerist Style": a political aesthetic of romantic symbolism, mass mobilization, a positive view of violence, and promotion of masculinity, youth, and charismatic authoritarian leadership.

More left-leaning sources cite Romerism as being dictatorial, totalitarian, racist, homophobic, and intolerant to all religions that are not Creeperian Catholicism.

Position in the Political Spectrum

Romerism falls to the extreme right on practically every political, social, and economic topic, making the ideology itself Far-Right.
