Dukeism

**Dukeism** is a far right, White suprematist and American unificationists ideology based on the figure, actions and words of the dictator of the Republic of America, David Ernest Duke. Summarizable as "Nazism with American Characteristics", it is characterized by aiming for the unification of the former United States as a White (or Aryan) ethno-state under an autocratic capitalist regime, advocating ethnic cleansing or genocide of other races, the violent eradication of communism and any form of leftism, the destruction of "degeneracy" (intended as queerness, neurodivergence, multiculturalism or feminism) and the imposition of a radical reactionary interpretation of Protestant Christian morality, based on the theology of the Christian Identity movement. It's most recognizable symbol is the Crossed Circle, first used by the White League in 1983.

## **HISTORY**

The term dukeism was first used to describe the ideology of the White League, the coalition of extremist White suprematist and neo Nazi militias pionereed by George L Rockwell in 1967, and led by Duke since 1976. The League seized control of the Republic of America with the Halloween Coup of 1990, and Duke ruled as dictator until his suicide in 2010, at the end of the Great American War. From 1998, or some argue 2002, to 2010, the Dukeist government enacted the systemic murder of over 7 milion people, for the vast majority Blacks, Puertoricans, other non-Whites and Jews, but also Catholic clergy, political opponents, disabled, queer or neurodivergent people. This act of mass murder is known as the American Holocaust, but was referred to by the Dukite government as Great Redemption. The genocide and regime ended with the Great American War from 2009 to 2010, Duke and most leaders of the White League committed suicide upon the Last Order on October 8 2010. The legacy of Dukeism has since been carried by the Nation of Freedom, an insurgency and terrorist army in control of part of North Carolina and large swaths of the North West. In NC, Freedom is controlled by orthodox Don Black, last surviving White League leader, and the Knights of America. In the North West, where the NoF was proclaimed, it is lead by even more extremist Oskar "Hunter" Strom, who, based on the teachings of William Luther Pierce (exponent of the most hardcore section of the League), dreams of using nuclear weapons to exterminate non-Aryans and weak Aryans, uniting the Planet under his thumb.

## **CHARACTERISTICS**

Dukeism has been described as neo-nazi, fascist, Christian nationalist, White suprematist and White nationalist. Historian Roger Griffin described it as "Nazism with American Characteristics", or as a merger between the Nazi conception of a Jewish Bolshevik conspiracy against the superior Nordic Race, as well as their genocidal methods, with classical American exceptionalism, White Supremacy and Protestant nationalism, later joined by the desire to reunify the former USA. Griffin identifies the origins of David Duke's ideology in the establishment of the American Nazi Party by George Lincoln Rockwell, which started the merger of nazism and the American right wing, although Duke dropped, for example, the idea of White Separatism in favor of a call to ethnic cleansing and reunification of America. The fundamental pillars of Dukeism have been identified to be:

White Supremacy: the belief that the so-called White Race is superior or entitled to a privileged status to others. According to Dukeism, non-White people range from subhumans to little more and should not be allowed to exist in the same territory as them unless they have a utility to the White Race. Black people in particular are seen by Dukeism as an existential threat to America due to their large number. Dukeists do not recognize Black people as an equal opponent or civilization but rather as a sort of "disease", a non-sentient horde which simply expands and destroys at the White Race's expense due to its nature.

Anglo-Protestant nationalism: Dukeism believes that America as a nation is specifically meant for White Anglo-Saxon Protestants, and even White Race people who don't fit the ethnic or religious identity cannot be as truly American as the other.

Capitalism-Despite its populist and anti-bank rethoric, Dukeism has historically been supportive of capitalism, collaborating greatly with the most powerful businessmen of the country, particularly in the sectors of weapon manifacturing and mining, both before and after its rise to power in the Republic of America. Big monopolies were supported by the state and collaborated with the economic planning of the RA's rapid industrialization, rearmament, ethnic cleansings and genocide, benefiting greatly from the destruction of trade unions, workers' rights and the use of slave labor.

Antisemitism-Dukeism considers Jews to represent a foreign body to America which holds dangerous influence, particularly in the world of finance and leftist politics. Jews are considered unassimilable and their religion an unamerican body.

Anticommunism-Dukeism considers Communism to embody the decadence of race, being a natural characteristic of lesser races like Blacks, Slavs and Asians. White people who adhere to Communism effectively regress back racially.

Social traditionalism-Dukeism supports traditional family, patriarchy and etheronormativity. Queerness and feminism are seen as signs of national and cultural degeneracy, and so is modern art. Abortion is considered wrong both due to Christian morality and due to the necessity to maximize the birthrates of the White Race.

## **TRIVIA**

* There's been a dispute in the Liberty Fallen server on whether the spelling is Dukeism or Dukism.
* A follower of the ideology can be called Dukeist or Dukite. In general, the former is a generic follower of the ideology, while the latter is someone who served for David Duke's regime.
* The ideology of Oskar Strom is occasionally described as neo-Dukeism, while that of the Rally for Texas and Heritage and Libery Bloc as crypto-Dukeism. This parallels real world variants of nazism and fascism.
