I've decided to write up a rather brief, admittedly, break-down of some of my beliefs. I'm not sure if they should be classified as Fascist, revolutionary conservative, or simply vanilla right-wing. I consider myself to be a follower of Hermeticism and occultism. I identify with Counter-Enlightenment thinking. Oswald Spengler's The Decline of the West (Der Untergang des Abendlandes) had a major influence on me, as did German Romanticism, Jakob Böhme and Johann Gottlieb Fichte.

Social Issues:

- Oppose gay marriage and abortion.
- Teetotalism should be encouraged: asceticism is one of the most crucial ways to reach spiritual enlightenment.
- Immigration should be entirely restricted to very skilled workers that we have a shortage of.
- Freedom of religion, however, the Church of Denmark can retain its current privileges and status.
- Regulate unhealthy foods to encourage and ensure a healthy, satisfied population. Regulators should ensure that food, particularly meat, is not cut by sharp-practice.
- Maintain the status of the Danish monarchy, and ensure its rich history is taught in schools.

Tradition:

- The marvel of Greco-Roman traditions in the realm of fine art, music and literature should be shown at all schools and more museums should be set-up in this regard.
- Danish values should be encouraged and supported from a young age. Danish and Nordic history should be taught from pre-school.
- There should be lessons on spirituality, mysticism and philosophy for children.
- Although tradition is essential for a functioning society, new scientific progress must be taught at schools (such as evolution).
- Christian morality should be upheld in public institutions.

Education:

- Heavy investment in STEM programs.
- Free secondary and tertiary education for all.
- As mentioned, the history of the West and Denmark should be taught extensively.
- Make physical education and sport compulsory for children.

Economy:

- Policies to establish an autarky.
- Heavy government intervention: nationalisation of banks and key industries.
- Private property to remain.
- A mixed economy where public and private projects are encouraged.
- Expansion of the welfare state.
- A system modelled on Dirigisme.
- Protectionist policies.
- Don't import items that could be made in Denmark. Encourage local industry.

I like Denmark, they have the same kind of bacon as the UK has.

Big state national Conservative. Not sure you count as a fascist yet - I don't see any militarism, and I've no idea how authoritarian your implementation of those polices would be - but they would certainly support a lot of what your interested in. It's also interesting to see that you support Danish culture yet propose a policy that is very counter-cultural to the Nordic countries. I don't know a huge amount about Denmark, but what little I've seen tells me they are a fairly liberal people.

[Decky]

I'm not sure about that.

I like this. All that's left for you to do is peacefully overthrow the state. Goodluck with that.

It sounds to me like a mixture of social democracy and US style Christian conservatism, a combination you do not see every day, but an interesting one to say the least.

I think these kind of ideological mixtures between socialism - or in this case more social democracy - and traditionalist occultism are very interesting. Our former forum colleague Andropov would be proud.

It could indeed be seen as Christian democracy, albeit with a more pronounced social conservatism than is currently typical. Most Christian democrats are now mainstream center-right parties with a more economic focus. It seems the cultural conservatism is the much more pronounced version found in some bastions of the US Republican Party, whereas the economic stuff is fairly typical of European social democracy, so it is a weird hybrid of the European center-left and the American social right.

This is just fascism with good dose of conservatism.

It is pejorative fascism. It seems to lack the militarism that is a key fascism proper. Although what is fascism? I'm really not sure Rei even qualifies as a facist sometimes due to her unapologetic feminism (as the early fascists tended to respect traditional gender roles) and somewhat leftish tendencies on some things. I view her as more of an authoritarian leftist who hasn't bought into all the peace, love and understanding mumbo jumbo. This guy is I suppose on a borderline between say mainstream Christian democracy and clerical fascism (similar to what Spain had under Franco, albeit a seemingly Protestant version if he is Danish).

[fuser]

Militarism is not a "key" factor to Fascism at all. Besides he hasn't written anything about military and considering how Denmark lacks any genuine potential to be actually militaristic towards her neighbours its quite understandable.

Beside political ideologies evolve with time including conservatism, so judging today's fascists/commies/liberals etc, it isn't fair to judge them by standards of their ideologues a century ago. By that standard, liberals a century ago were also anti feminist, homophobes etc etc and not as tolerant as they are today.

Depends on which country you're from. In mine, the CDP is a party of welfarist social conservatives.
