Romerism

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.

Prior to and during the Creeperian Civil War, the Catholic Royalist Party and the Creeperian Pro-Fatherland Front established paramilitaries known as the Falange Creeperiano and the Camisas Negras which declared themselves to be nationalist and attacked the paramilitary of the Creeperian Social Communist Party, the Atheist Red Army. Both also supported the full unification of Atlántida, Castilliano, El Salvador, and the State of the Church into Creeperopolis. During its early years of existence, the Catholic Royalist Party produced maps of Creeperopolis that included Atlántida, Castilliano, El Salvador, and the State of the Church as departments of Creeperopolis. The Creeperian Pro-Fatherland Front stated that a Fascist Creeperopolis would retake Atlántida and incorporate Atlántida, El Salvador, and the State of the Church. After the Creeperian Civil War, the Catholic Royalist Party and the Creeperian Pro-Fatherland Front were satisfied with the annexations of Atlántida and Castilliano on December 25, 1949.

Some of the Romerist in Creeperopolis have supported racialism and racialist policies, viewing races as both real and existing with differing strengths, weaknesses and accompanying cultures inextricably obtained with them. However, unlike other racialists such as the Miguelists, Romerism is unconcerned about racial purity and does not denounce other races for being inferior, claiming "that every race has a particular cultural significance" and claiming that the intermixing of the Creeperian race and other races has produced a "Hispanic supercaste" that is "ethically improved, morally robust, spiritually vigorous." It is less concerned about biological Creeperian racial regeneration than it was in advocating the necessity of Creeperian Catholic spiritual regeneration. Some have nonetheless promoted eugenics designed to eliminate physical and psychological damage caused by pathogenic agents. Romerism did and still does support natality policies to stimulate increased fertility rate among ideal physically and morally fit citizens.

Ramón Serrano Suñer praised Creeperopolis' native, pre-Hispanic heritage, saying that the old Creeperans of the Old Kingdom of Creeperopolis gave Creeperans their "national love for law and order."

Caudillo of the Catholic Royalist Party, Antonio Sáenz Heredia, had little interest in addressing the Muslim problem outside areas of political issues. The Catholic Royalist Party's position was influenced by the fact of the small size of the Islamic community in Creeperopolis at the time that did not favor the development of strong Anti-Islamism. Antonio Sáenz Heredia saw the solution to the Islamic problem in Creeperopolis as simple: the conversion of Muslims to Catholicism. However, on the issue of perceived political tendencies amongst Muslims he warned about Islamic-Marxist influences over the working classes. The Creeperian Pro-Fatherland Front under Carlos Hernández Videla and the Militarist Nationalist Front under Adolfo Rivera López, however, saw the direct extermination of Deltinian Islam as the only option, most notably displayed in the Denshire Massacre of 1944.

The Creeperian Initiative and its Hispanic affiliates have promoted the cultural, economic and racial unity of Hispanic peoples across the world in "Hispanidad". It has sought to unite Hispanic peoples through proposals to create a commonwealth or federation of Spanish-speaking states headed by Creeperopolis.
