Talk:Croatian Party of Rights

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article could use some specific years to reference the party's history in the 1990s. Anyone? -- User:Alcarillo 15:00 14 Apr 2004 UTC

Croatian party of Rights is NOT neoconservative. Party officials support Iran nuclear program... --User:Mobydick, 19:29, 19 Mar 2005

According to their website, it is. [1]
Neoconservativism does not have the same meaning in Croatia as it does in the United States. --Joy [shallot] 21:54, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
WikiProject Fascism wants to know if the person or group described in this article can be reasonably described as fascist. WikiProject Fascism defines an entity which has not come to power as "fascist" if it fulfills six of the following criteria:
  1. exalting the nation, (and in some cases the race, culture, or religion) above the individual, with the state apparatus being supreme.
  2. stressing loyalty to a single leader.
  3. advocating violence or using modern techniques of propaganda and censorship to forcibly suppress political opposition.
  4. advocating severe economic and social regimentation.
  5. advocating syndicalist corporatism.
  6. advocating totalitarian systems.
  7. declaring itself or holding itself out to be to be a fascist, national socialist, falangist, etc. movement.

Please comment on this entity's status here or leave commentary on the project's talk page.

Based on the current content of the article, I think a strong case exists that the HSP during the Yugoslav wars era fulfills criteria 1, 3, and 7 (dependent on the extent to which they were in control of the HOS). I don't speak any Croatian and I don't see much in the article to comment on 2, 4, 5, or 6. Thoughts? Stlemur 21:42, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

I dont agree that it fulilled criteria 3#, because it never was in power, never was in Goverment, so it could not advocate censorship, but there was advocating violence and hate speech. I dont se loyality to a single leader, because they have been changing their party leaders, and also they never advocated a loyality to a person or a party member in public appereance, but loyality to the nation and "the law ideology" (pravaštvo). They are very anti-syndicalist, not advocating totalitarian system (anti-communist, for example). I could compare them with Italy's National Alliance (Italy), so in some way it is post-ustashi party that have used ustashi nostalgia to mobilise far right positions in Croatia and its diaspora. Also, that is quite intresting, HSP is NOT party of national conservatism, because it supports Croatian joyning the EU.--Marko Jurcic 18:16, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
But they are national conservative according to their own website. --PaxEquilibrium 22:23, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Are they? Where? They are according to ther own website neo-conservative [2]. Of course I'm not sceptic that they will turn more right wing (like in the 90s), when Croatia enters the EU. As far as it goes, they want to become a member of European People's Party. --Marko Jurcic 20:19, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
It has to qualify under any of the points to be valid. --PaxEquilibrium 22:26, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
