I found this on another website ... And figured I would spread it about: Not even about to take any credit except for the highlighting which was for my own purposes. Presented for historical interest.
The
Twenty-Six Point Program of the Falange
NATION
– UNITY – EMPIRE
1.
We believe in the supreme reality of Spain. The strengthening,
elevating, and magnifying of this reality is the urgent collective
goal of all Spaniards. Individual, group, and class interests must
inexorably give way in order to achieve this goal.
2.
Spain has a single destiny in the
world. Every conspiracy against this common unity is
repulsive. Any kind of separatism
is a crime which we shall not pardon. The existing Constitution, to
the degree that it encourages disintegration, weakens this common
destiny of Spain. Therefore we demand its annulment in a
thundering voice.
3.
We have the determination to build an Empire. We affirm that Spain’s
historic fulfilment lies in Empire. We
claim for Spain a pre-eminent position in Europe. We can tolerate
neither international isolation nor foreign interference. As regards
the countries of Hispanic America, we favour unification of their
culture, economic interests and power. Spain will continue to act as
the spiritual axis of the Hispanic world as a sign of her
pre-eminence in worldwide enterprises.
4.
Our armed forces- on land, sea, and in the air- must be kept trained
and sufficiently large to assure to Spain at all times its complete
independence and a status in the world that befits it. We shall
bestow upon our Armed Forces of land, sea, and air all the dignity
they merit, and we shall cause
their military conception of life to infuse every aspect of Spanish
life.
5.
Spain shall once more seek her glory and her wealth on the sea lanes.
Spain must aspire to become a great
maritime power, for reasons of both defence and commerce. We
demand for the fatherland equal status with others in maritime power
and aerial routes.
STATE
– INDIVIDUAL – LIBERTY
6.
Our State will be a totalitarian instrument to defend the integrity
of the fatherland. All Spaniards will participate in this through
their various family, municipal, and syndical roles. There
shall be no participation in it by political parties. We
shall implacably abolish the system of political parties and all of
their consequences- inorganic suffrage, representation of clashing
groups, and a Parliament of the type that is all too well known.
7.
Human dignity, integrity, and freedom are eternal, intangible values.
But one is not really free unless he is a part of a strong and free
nation. No one will be permitted to use his freedom against the
nation, which is the bulwark of the fatherland’s freedom. Rigorous
discipline will prevent any attempt to envenom and disunite the
Spanish people or to incite them against the destiny of the
fatherland.
8.
The National-Syndicalist State will permit all kinds of private
initiative that are compatible with the collective interest, and it
will also protect and encourage the profitable ones.
ECONOMY
– LABOUR – CLASS STRUGGLE
9.
Our conception of Spain in the economic realm is that of a gigantic
syndicate of producers. We shall organise Spanish society
corporatively through a system of vertical syndicates for the various
field of production, all working toward national economic unity.
10.
We repudiate the capitalistic system which shows no understanding of
the needs of the people, dehumanises private property, and causes
workers to be lumped together in a shapeless, miserable mass of
people who are filled with desperation. Our spiritual and national
conception of life also repudiates Marxism. We shall redirect
the impetuousness of those working classes who today are led astray
by Marxism, and we shall seek to
bring them into direct participation in fulfilling the great task of
the national state.
11.
The National-Syndicalist State will not cruelly stand apart from
man’s economic struggles, nor watch impassively while the strongest
class dominates the weakest. Our regime will eliminate the very roots
of class struggle, because all who work together in production shall
comprise one single organic entity. We reject and we shall
prevent at all costs selfish interests from abusing others, and we
shall halt anarchy in the field of labour relations.
12.
The first duty of wealth- and our State shall so affirm- is to better
the conditions of the people. It is intolerable that enormous
masses of people should live wretchedly while a small number enjoy
all kinds of luxuries.
13.
The State will recognise private property as a legitimate
means for achieving individual, family, and social goals, and
will protect it against the abuses of large-scale finance capital,
speculators, and money lenders.
14.
We shall support the trend toward nationalisation of banking services
and, through a system of Corporations, the great public utilities.
15.
All Spaniards have the right to work. Public
agencies must of necessity provide support for those who find
themselves in desperate straits. As we proceed toward a totally new
structure, we shall maintain and strengthen all the advantages that
existing social legislation gives to workers.
16.
Unless they are disabled, all Spaniards have the duty to work.
The National-Syndicalist State will not give the slightest
consideration to those who fail to perform some useful function and
who try to live as drones at the expense of the labour of the
majority of people.
LAND
17.
We must, at all costs, raise the standard of living in the
countryside, which is Spain’s permanent source of food.
To this end, we demand agreement that will bring to culmination
without further delay the economic and social reforms of the
agricultural sector.
18.
Our program of economic reforms will enrich
agricultural production by means of the following:
By
assuring a minimum remuneration to all agricultural producers.
By
organising a truly national system of agricultural credit which will
lend money to farmers at low interest against the guarantee of their
property and crops, and redeem them from usury and local tyrants.
By
spreading education with respect to better methods of farming and
sheep raising.
By
ordering the rational utilisation of lands in accordance with
their suitability and with marketing possibilities.
By
adjusting tariff policy in such a way as to protect agriculture and
the livestock industry.
By
accelerating reclamation projects. By rationalising the units of
cultivation, so as to eliminate wasted latifundia and uneconomic,
miniscule plots.
19.
Our program of social reforms in the field of agriculture will be
achieved:
By
redistributing arable land in such a way as to revive family farms
and give energetic encouragement to the syndicalisation of farm
labourers.
By
redeeming from misery those masses of people who presently are barely
eking out a living on sterile land, and by transferring such people
to new and arable lands.
20.
We shall undertake a relentless campaign of reforestation and
livestock breeding, and we shall punish severely those who resist it.
We shall support the compulsory, temporary mobilisation of all
Spanish youth for this historic goal of rebuilding the national
commonwealth.
21.
The State may expropriate without indemnity lands of those owners who
either acquired them or exploited them illegally.
22.
It will be the primary goal of the National-Syndicalist State to
rebuild the communal patrimonies of the towns.
NATIONAL
EDUCATION – RELIGION
23.
It shall be the essential mission of the State to attain by means of
rigorous disciplining of education a strong, united national spirit,
and to instil in the souls of future generations a sense of rejoicing
and pride in the fatherland.
All
men shall receive premilitary training to prepare them for the
honour of being enlisted in the National and Popular Army of Spain.
24.
Cultural life shall be organised so
that no talent will be undeveloped because of insufficient
economic means. All who merit it
shall be assured ready access to a higher education.
25.
Our Movement incorporates the Catholic meaning- of glorious
tradition, and especially in Spain- of national reconstruction. The
Church and the State will co-ordinate their respective powers so as
to permit no interference or activity that may impair the dignity of
the State or national integrity.
NATIONAL
REVOLUTION
26.
The Falange Espanola Tradicionalista y de las JONS demands a new
order, as set forth in the foregoing principles. In the face of the
resistance from the present order, it calls for a revolution to
implant this new order. Its method of procedure will be direct, bold,
and combative. Life signifies
the art and science of warfare (milicia) and must
be lived with a spirit that is purified by service and sacrifice.
