'''Integral nationalism]]] is a [[radical]], [[authoritarian]] form of [[nationalism]] that emerged in late 19th- and early 20th-century [[Europe]]. It insists that the [[nation]] is an [[organic]], almost [[mystical]] entity that transcends [[individual]]s and demands total [[allegiance]]. Unlike [[traditional]] [[patriotism]] or [[civic]] nationalism, integral nationalism views the nation as an end in itself, with all aspects of [[life]] ([[politics]], [[culture]], [[religion]], [[economy]]) subordinated to its strength and purity.
Key Features
The nation is compared to a living body; foreign influences, [[minorities]], or dissenting [[ideologies]] are "[[disease]]s" to be removed. In many versions it emphasizes [[ethnic]] [[homogeneity]] and can slide into [[racism]] or [[antisemitism]].
It emphasized [[willpower]] over [[reason]]. The [[collective]] will is considered more critical than [[individual]] [[rational]]ity, often glorifying struggle and [[warfare]] as expressions of national vitality.
Led by Charles Maurras, who coined the phrase "integral nationalism" (''nationalisme intégral''), it was [[violently [[antisemitic]]. Its slogan was "Politique d’abord!" (Politics first)—everything must serve the nation. It was condemned by the [[Vatican]] in 1926. then later partially lifted and supported by [[Vichy France]].
[[Italian]] [[Fascism]] and [[German]] [[Nazism]] borrowed heavily from its [[rhetoric]] with the [[cult]] of the nation/[[race]] as supreme [[value]], the leader as the embodiment of the nation's will, and a rejection of universal [[human rights]].
In [[Ukraine]], members of the [[Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists]] (OUN) embraced integral nationalism as a model for national struggle, emphasizing cultural purity and national [[language]] in a stateless context/
