Debate

It is a topic of constant discussion between the ones who consider themselves as genuine Falangists and people of other parties, particularly among extreme leftists, whether Falangism is an extreme right-wing movement or not. That is because Falangists consider themselves to be neither rightists nor leftists, but members of a nationalist, traditionalist, and distributist movement whose roots lie deeply in Catholic monarchism. Many modern political analysts agree that Falangism is, indeed, a right-wing anti-democratic political movement due to its emphasis on family, free enterprise, and regionalism , albeit one with strongly anticapitalist foundations. Debate continues.
