That is what I meant, yes. And it was part of a fascist movement that was popular all over Europe. Not to mention the isolationists and German-American Bund in the USA

Oh yeah, Fascism was certainly all the rage in the 1920’s and ’30s. One would think that with the two strongest iterations (Italy and Nazi Germany) having been taken to the woodshed in truly spectacular fashion, it would’ve died off. It survived of course in Franco’s Spain and Salazar’s Portugal and in some South American countries, but really just a shadow of itself - nothing like compared to its heyday.

And now, it’s back in vogue, with new names - Identitarians, New Right, Alt-Right, etc., etc. If nothing else, I guess it speaks to the immortality of ideas……no matter how fatuous they are.
