National syndicalism is a fascist ideology that supports a non-democratic socialist and nationalist society. Georges Sorel and Charles Maurras were the two founders of national syndicalism, seeing the need to defend French, Greek, and Roman culture while advocating nationalism and anti-Semitism. National syndicalism became popular in the West, and Benito Mussolini of Italy stated that national syndicalism would unite the economic classes in growth, while Falange propagandist Ramiro Ledesma Ramos attempted to win over the CNT supporters of anarcho-syndicalism to the national syndicalist camp. The Lebanese Kataeb Party was influenced by national syndicalism as well, and its mixture of socialist and nationalist ideas remain strong.
