United Organization for Italian Class Collaboration
The sacred duty of the United Organization for Italian Class Collaboration is to stand, at all costs, for the universal ideas of national class collaboration as it affirms the irremediable, fruitful and beneficent variation among men. Far from crushing the individual, the collaboration multiplies his energies, just as in a regiment a soldier is not diminished but multiplied by the number of his fellow soldiers.
The sacred duty of the Organization is to remind the crazed proletariat that they are, at all times, speaking and acting from a biased perspective due to their intersectional majority privilege and thus always infringing upon the rights of minority classes. They are the loud and oppressive masses silencing the voices of the few and weaker.
The ideas of class struggle are founded on the undemocratic ideas of majority oppression and majority privilege and thus have no place in the modern democratic world. The outdated rhetorics of the fringe groups that after the uncountable political and other failures have stayed with the leftist ideas are a danger to the democratic principles and freedom of all European nations. It is most of all the obligation of the Italians to speak of it and share their experiences with the other nations of Europe as they, of all peoples, have witnessed and felt such oppression the most.
It was in Italy and nowhere else that first the socialist and then the communist radical ideas of class struggle were completely exhibited as just irredeemably fatuous, unworkable and broken. It is right here that all forms of leftism have through the last few centruries has shown themselves to be just zero, breaking the country utterly every single time they have gained power.
And to represent all of those ideas, the wish and will for a collaboration and democratic national coexistence, a feeling of fascist togetherness on a national surface and opposition to class warfare and ideas that create it, the United Organization has chosen as its symbol the colours and radiance of a rainbow flag.

((Assuming the Marquess of Goffa and Taxis is one of the "two leftists who chose the class to split the rightist PP", I assure you his creation was not nearly as cynical as you seem to have decided it to have been. In any case, he remains entirely out of politics.
Nevertheless, your sympathy is greatly appreciated and I thank you for it.))

The wheels of power are spinning endlessly in Italy. First one regime is on top, then another, then another, etc. Each time the wheel is moved, chaos and anarchy follow in Italy. Many things can cause the wheel to move. A bad decision by the government perhaps. Maybe a massacre of innocents. Maybe killing a bunch of prominent members of the opposition. Maybe being too autocratic causes people to rise up. The people of Italy are the biggest reasons the wheel turns. First they rise up against a monarchy to establish a democracy. Then the democracy is overthrown by Marxist rebels. Then the Marxist rebels are overthrown by conservative rebels, then it is back to a monarchy, and the cycle repeats. The wheel of power spins endlessly in Italy, and it shows no sign of stopping. Perhaps this is the time where things are changed, and I be the changer. Perhaps this is the time when the Legion arises from the ashes of anarchy to lead Italy to stability. Perhaps then, will chaos end and peace reign. The wheel of power spins endlessly, and I do not intend to stop the wheel.
I intend on breaking it.

Yet another revolution.
Let the wheel turn - we have destroyed one revolution before us, this next is nothing to us. Let the Revolutionaries dash themselves against the Walls of Italia, for htis nation is ready for their ilk.
Death to the communist! Death to the red!

I intend to stand for the leadership of the CSI; to carry-out the revolution that has been started. I also request that there is a period between the declaration and the actual vote to properly get across our ideals that we would wish to enact as leaders. ((Around 18 hours should do)).

The Cradle of Italian Feminism
„Feminism“, a fringe term for a incomplete set of strange ideas that originated first from one Lucrezia Constantino* but never achieved any traction. After years of obscurity it was picked up by one futurist writer and philospher named Di Barnardi** whose contributions to the development of the Italian Right are usually considered quite substantial, although most of the modern futurist right considers a large chunk of his ideas „confused”. In his famous Poetic Manifesto for the Futurist Movement, he mentions something called „feminism“ as something to fight against, something to demolish. More specifically his words are: „We want to demolish museums, libraries, fight against moralism, religion, feminism, and all opportunistic and egalitarian cowardices.“ This would be the first and last time the word feminism was mentioned in mainstream politics, possibly remaining alive in its original form, but only in niche cult-like ideological groups of the Far Left***.
Long years later the word was less rediscovered and more so (re)invented by the rightist groups on the far sides of progressive fascism, usually gathered around the Futurist-Constructivist art groups, the Knights in White Satin political movement and most importantly the rainbow-waving United Organization for Italian Class Collaboration that found its path to pages of history through the popularization of theories of peaceful coexistance inside a nation state and class collaboration.
„Feminism“ as a name would be found incredibly fitting for an ideology promoting female rights and thus was quickly brought in as one of the main tenets of this new growing rainbow-fascist organization. Only a week later a new piece of literature called „The struggle for women’s rights“ was presented by one of the central characters of the movement – Gabriel Severus Drago di Eugenyus dom Contravarius-Mondragones y d’Alathristus-Danzig and would, for the first time in history, really acknowledge the need to protect the female right to remain at her rightful place, in home by her children and family – one of the most important tenets of the feminist ideology for the centuries to come. Armed with this historical piece and its advocacy for the protection of women’s rights to not work or vote, the feminist movement would finally break through to the barrier of obscurity and the question of female rights would become the question of mainstream politics.
Baron dom Contravarius-Mondragones y d’Alathristus-Danzig, here crowned in the colours of fascist class collaboration
The rapidly growing movement, like all respectable movements, also needed its heroes and martyrs, people who had died defending its ideas. The history of Italy happened to be full of them, countless men who bravely had fought against the primive masses risen in their pointless revolts had also, unknowingly, defended for the female rights. They had fought not only for their personal ideals and loved ones, but their shields had defended the whole feminine gender from the oppressive ideas of enforced gender equality, from the anti-feminist suffragette movement and other leftist radicals.
And, still, even among the countless forefathers and defenders of feminist ideals, a single man stood out like the brightest star in the darkness of the night sky – the greatest shield to the true rights of the whole female gender. His name was Cesare Agostin Balbo and as a result of his unbreakable dedication, the female gender He had saved them from industrial servitude, he saved them from the terrible fate of the sacrificial lambs marching towards the killing knife by rooting out the wriggling slaver-tongues of female suffrage.
His name was Cesare Agostin Balbo and he had been the greatest Italian feminist in history. His face and words would remain the cornerstone of Italian feminist teachings for centuries to come.
((* - ...played by Sealo. She might actually still be alive, although I'm not sure.))
((**- ...played by Glueth. Fun fact: This is also the same early futurist who ended up in a penal colony in Somalia because he was agitating under Alliata. After Balbo took over he was asked to come back, if I recall correctly.))
((***- No, seriously, the word „feminism“ has been mentioned only once in the whole thread and it was by Glueth’s raging futurist. The word „feminist“, though, has been mentioned four times, but still mostly only in OOC or character's biographies, not in IC.))

Name: Federico Benenati
Born: 6th of June, 1891 in Florence, Italy
Class: Militarist
Background: Born a year after Alliata came into power, Federico was the son of a middle-class baker who owned a small shop in Florence. His family suffered and Federico never had a full stomach. When in 1899 Balbo other threw Alliata not much changed for his family and life continued as a struggle for survival. In 1905, when Federico turned 14 he joined one of the communist militias which had risen up against the dictatorship; here he proved himself a capable military leader and when the People's Republic of Italy was declared he was assigned a small force to command. As the communist government failed to live up to his expectations Federico's loyalties drifted; he realized that for Italy to survive it had to return to its former glory. He realized that the people of Italy had been corrupted by the lesser ideals of outsiders; Communism was one of those ideals. Federico defected to Amat's forces in the spring of 1910 and divulged the position of the rebel forces. He proceeded to join the army and quickly rose through the ranks to a position of power and influence.
As a member of Italia's Glorious Army I appoint myself as Colonnello Benenati, Commander of Corpo IV. of Distretto Nord.

DECLARATION OF THE PROROGUING OF THOSE CHAMBERS ADDRESSED
AND DECLARATION OF STATE OF NATIONAL EMERGENCY
1916
Preface.
We have long stood watch over the Italian Nation- a people forged through troubles under the goodwill of their Kings. Italy as a nation is not a new concept, but the modern Kingdom is only the product of a fifty year state, formed in the vision of King Vittorio Emmanuele II, and carried on by his successors. How is it, then, that so much chaos has befallen our union? Are we not the product of the Risorgimento? Did we not free the Land of God from the Turk? Is it not right to fight a just war? Our heritage has been spurned in favor of instability, but the spirit which guided Italy's establishment has not been lost! We resolve, at the conclusion of this long string of chaos, to to oppose the tyranny of violent mobs, demagogues and traitors and defend the Throne and country from the forces of anarchy and communism. Italy belongs to every man, woman, and child - not the champions of radicalism. We make this declaration in opposition to those criminals who so readily cast aside their King, and the Constitution,, who, after receiving wide freedoms from their Monarch, have chosen to betray him and his generosity. This is not the era of political clowns. This is the era of the Italians, and we shall echo the calls of our forebears- Avanti!
Provision I.
Noting the threat of communism and the need for a strong stable force to defend the Throne, Country and Italian freedoms of the resolution, it is our provision to prorogue this session, of 1916, of the Chamber and temporarily dissolve this body until such time that new Deputies are chosen democratically. All Deputies are released from their current duties as members of the Chamber, and no liability shall be attached to their persons.
Provision II.
Noting that though the struggle against communism is a long one, it is our provision to merely suspend the Chamber and all of its functions temporarily and that new elections will be held, to their full extent as mandated by the Constitution, in the year 1921. The institution shall throughout the entirety of this period remain a corporation of the Kingdom of Italy, however, it shall cease operations immediately, with all attached offices immediately being subsumed into the establishment of the Kingdom of Italy.
Provision III.
Noting the need for a body to fill the duties of the Chamber of Deputies during its prorogation, it is our provision to call upon the commanders of the Militaries of the Kingdom of Italy for guidance. The organization of these commanders is to be referred to as the Interim Administration, with all duties belonging to the institution of the Chamber of Deputies being passed to it. This new body shall recommend the candidacy of the Lord Protector to the King of Italy, to stand in the stead of the current position of Prime Minister.
Provision IV.
Noting the need for an individual to act as a central leader and Head of Government in this same period, it is our provision that the Lord Protector shall be appointed by the King of Italy upon the nonbinding recommendation of the Interim Administration every five years, and shall be their leader in all matters and affairs of state, as well as to lead the nation in those times when the Interim Administration must instead fulfill their roles as commanders of the Militaries. The Lord Protector and the Interim Administration shall hold the obligation to assemble plans of state, including those belonging to the various agencies of the Monarchy, with the exception of the Ministry of the Royal Court, which shall be granted always to the Lord President of the Privy Council.
Provision V.
Noting the need for an established political infrastructure, it is our provision that all agencies of the current establishment shall be maintained. In addition, all agencies belonging to the Kingdom of Italy prior to 1884 shall be reestablished, excluding those in direct contradiction to our inclosed provisions.
Provision VI.
Noting the need for a body to operate in accompaniment with the Interim Administration, it is our provision that the Senate of the Kingdom of Italy shall return to its historic organization, with all Senators appointed by the King of Italy. In addition, the Senate shall be granted the ability to propose matters of importance to the Interim Administration. Senators shall be appointed for life, and there shall not be a limit on the number of individuals who may serve as Senators.
Provision VII.
Noting the need for a continuous presence in the Administration of the Militaries, it is our provision that the position of the Commander-General of the Kingdom of Italy be established, roughly in correlation with the current institution of the Chief of General Staff. The Commander-General shall be entitled to a position on the Privy Council and he shall be the highest commanding officer of the military, to be appointed, in addition to the Lord Protector, by the King of Italy on the recommendation of the Interim Administration. The Commander-General, however, shall operate indefinitely, at the leisure of the King of Italy
Provision VIII.
Noting the need for sources of employment for the Italian people, it is our provision to ensure economic freedoms within the Italian state by allowing all corporations to retain their current assets, in addition to abolishing the current system of monopolies, with all corporations hereby granted the opportunity to operate in all states of Italy.
Provision IX.
Noting the call of the Italian People for a representative, universally elected government beholden to upholding Italian culture as well as assuaging their plights, the Interim Administration pledges to restore general order and poll the opinion of the Italian People on the subject of Universal Suffrage, so that the elected Parliament of 1921 may dedicate itself towards the establishment of such Universal Suffrage.
These Provisions we declare as truths,
