Integralism
Integralism is a
belief that
society is an organic
unity. It has a characteristic belief in social
hierarchy and in co-operation between the classeses. Often seen as a belief in "blood and soil" conservatism, Integralism claims that the best political institutions for given
nations will differ depending on the
history,
culture and
climate of the nation's
habitat. Integralism usually strongly supports a national
church, or Erastianism.
Integralism often overlaps with fascism (especially in Latin America) although there exist many natural points of disagreement, especially the integralist stress on localism.
