Against rising fascism and communism; The Iron Front

[Iron Front Founder]

The Iron Front

Appalled by the growing threat of extremist ideologies such as fascism and communism in the Nationstates Multiverse, the Iron Front serves as a true force for freedom and democracy to prevail. The mission of Iron Front is to efficiently and effectively curb the spread of both fascism and communism, and end oppression altogether. We will bring freedom and democracy to the Nationstates universe.

The Iron Front is an inclusive region welcoming all political ideologies, including conservatism, liberalism, leftism, democratic socialism, civic nationalism, and more as long as they are not versions of communism or fascism, and promote democracy.

The founding of the region is a direct reaction to the 2020 World Assembly Secretary General elections, where one openly communist candidate made the general elections, and a fascist candidate made #6. It is appalling that extremism is being tolerated by the wider Nationstates Multiverse, and The Iron Front seeks to firmly prevent the spread of these ideologies.

So go ahead and join the movement today!

Haven’t been too involved in Gameplay in a while, might actually see how this turns out

"Iron Front" sounds an awful lot like a fascist region. Why isn't it, and what's the reason behind the name?

[Bulgar Rouge]

Hah, Krum laughs at your Iron Front!

The name is based on a political movement in Weimar Germany

Antifascism is one of our core tenets

Joined the region simply because it caught my interest, looking forward to getting back into GP

How does something "sound fascist?"

Excellent, we will be attempting to grow this region as time passes. It might be slow at first

The name reminded me of The Iron Confederacy and its successors.

You should probably at the etymology of the name in the OP, I guess it does sound kinda authoritarian

Who is "Iron Front Founder" and do they have a legitimate interest in anti-extremism? How does the region intend to meet its goals?

It’s a founder account intended to serve as an executive founder to prevent the region from being raided, whilst still maintaining a democratic government. We intend to grow through recruitment and eventually have enough nations to build an effective government and raiding force to liberate regions controlled by authoritarian governments

Aside from the unfortunate name, all looks pretty interesting here.

The region of Blitzkrieg has an unfortunate name too, and they are a great raider group

As I understand it Blitzkrieg is almost entirely Captain Woodhouse, and more hawkers than raiders. But aside from that, Blitzkrieg is not a fascist/nazi movement, it’s a tactic that was used by them. In NationStates, "Iron" almost always means "fascist". There’s not enough examples of names similar to Blitzkrieg to know in that case.

Unfortunate?

Very similar to various fascist regions, like The Iron Order, The Iron Confederacy, and The Iron Fortress

[South Reinkalistan]

To be fair, there is an anti-fascism movement in America with the same name. Iron Front does sound dodgy though,

To me, and a number of others it seems, 'Iron Front' just sounds like a fascist group. You evidently are not, it's just the name.

If it helps, I put the etymology as to not cause misconceptions in the World Factbook Entry

Oh and in case you’re wondering, this account is operated by Steppe Khanate, but will be given to whoever is elected president if/when we grow and begin elections
