National Solidarism

National Solidarism In political and social sciences is the social, political, and economic ideology and movement whose ultimate goal is the establishment of a solidarist state, which is a socioeconomic order structured upon the unity of social classes gathered around a nation state which is led by a nationwide movement. National Solidarists promote a mix of private and public ownership over the means of production. National Solidarism presents itself as a third position, alternative to both international socialism and free market capitalism. While National Solidarism is opposed mainstream socialism, it sometimes regards itself as a type of nationalist "socialism" to highlight their commitment to national solidarity and unity. National Solidarists oppose international free market capitalism. Economic self-sufficiency, known as autarky, is a major goal of National Solidarist movements.

The Great War was seen by National Solidarists as a revolution which changed the nature of the state and the society. The advent of total war and the total mass mobilization of society had broken down the distinction between civilians and combatants. A "military citizenship" arose in which all citizens were involved with the military in some manner during the war. It is also characteristic for National Solidarists that they describe the state as an entity in constant struggle.
