Abstract
This article recounts the neglected story of a group of radical-right intellectuals based in Montreal, who mobilized during the 1930s for the establishment of a new Canadian state. Inspired by Ukrainian ultraconservative thought, the Italian School of Elitism, and fascist corporatism, this diverse group founded an interwar movement called the Classocracy League of Canada. Their vision framed Canadian identity in Christian and European supremacist terms, while its leading members were engaged with other Canadian and transnational fascistic organizations, such as the Christian National Social Party and the Friends of National Spain. Although the Classocracy League of Canada remained ultimately marginal, its vision of racially restricted pluralism represented a novel form of exclusionary politics at the basis of which was fascist ideology.
这篇文章讲述了一群在蒙特利尔的极右翼知识分子的故事,他们在20世纪30年代为建立一个新的加拿大国家而动员起来。受乌克兰极端保守主义思想、意大利精英主义学派和法西斯社团主义的启发,这个多元化的团体在两次世界大战之间发起了一场名为加拿大古典政治联盟(classsocracy League of Canada)的运动。他们的愿景以基督教和欧洲至上主义的方式塑造了加拿大的身份,而其主要成员则与其他加拿大和跨国法西斯组织有联系,如基督教国家社会党和西班牙国家之友。尽管加拿大古典政治联盟最终仍然处于边缘地位,但其种族限制多元化的愿景代表了一种新的排他性政治形式,其基础是法西斯意识形态。
