Manuel Torres Bueno was a Mexican politician,lawyer,and jefe (leader) of the National Synarchist Union. Bueno would lead the organization during the height of its membership and activity. His tenure as leader of the National Synarchist Union was a period of ideological instability which would ultimately lead to the fracture of the organization. [1] [2]
A lawyer by profession,Torres Bueno abandoned his practice in December 1941 after Salvador Abascal selected him as his successor in October. Abascal left the Union to start a sinarquista colony in Baja California. [2] He assumed the position on December 13. [1] As leader he sought to define the movement along more moderate lines than his predecessor. [3] Continuing the themes of anti-communism and opposition to liberal democracy,Torres Bueno argued that fascism and Nazism were equally dangerous to the "Christian Order" that he sought to establish in Mexico. [4] He saw this order,which he also called "Christian democracy" despite its differences from that concept,as being based on a plot of land for each family that had been afforded legal recognition. [5] His comparatively moderate views,as well as Torres Bueno's desire to consider changing the Union into a political party,saw Abascal leave the movement altogether and he was soon joined by the brothers Jose and Alfonso Truebas Olivares,the movement's two leading ideologues. [6]
Under his leadership the UNS fell into disarray and factionalism,even leading to a public fist fight between Torres Bueno and a rival for power,Carlos Athie,in front of the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City. [7] A ban was placed on the movement on 23 June 1944 which also ceased publication of their organ El Sinarquista and Torres Bueno attracted criticism for his lack of resistance to this law. [8]
He lost power to Athie in early 1945 and soon broke away,heading up his own dissident splinter group. Later that same year he turned leadership of the faction over to his ally Gildardo González Sánchez. [9] Despite having been replaced as leader Torres Bueno received a single write-in vote in the 1946 Presidential election. [10] Torres Bueno was also involved in the creation of the Partido Fuerza Popular as a short-lived political arm of the sinarquista movement.
Although Torres Bueno would drift from politics,the split in the UNS remained in place and indeed has continued to date. The Torres Bueno faction fully politicised in the late 1970s as the Mexican Democratic Party,a group that is now defunct.
Social conservatism is a political philosophy and a variety of conservatism which places emphasis on traditional social structures over social pluralism. Social conservatives organize in favor of duty,traditional values and social institutions,such as traditional family structures,gender roles,sexual relations,national patriotism,and religious traditions. Social conservatism is usually skeptical of social change,instead tending to support the status quo concerning social issues.
Peronism,also known as justicialism,is an Argentine ideology and movement based on the ideas,doctrine and legacy of Argentine ruler Juan Perón (1895–1974). It has been an influential movement in 20th- and 21st-century Argentine politics. Since 1946,Peronists have won 10 out of the 14 presidential elections in which they have been allowed to run. Peronism is defined through its three flags,which are:“Economic Independence”,“Social Justice”and “Political Sovereignty”.
Synarchism generally means "joint rule" or "harmonious rule". Beyond this general definition,both synarchism and synarchy have been used to denote rule by a secret elite in Vichy France,Italy,China,and Hong Kong,while being used to describe a pro-Catholic Theocracy movement in Mexico.
Liberalism and radicalism have played a role in the political history of France. The main line of conflict in France in the long nineteenth century was between monarchists and republicans. The Orléanists,who favoured constitutional monarchy and economic liberalism,were opposed to the Republican Radicals.
The Confederation of Mexican Workers is the largest confederation of labor unions in Mexico. For many years,it was one of the essential pillars of the Partido Revolucionario Institucional,which ruled Mexico for more than seventy years. However,the CTM began to lose influence within the PRI structure in the late 1980s,as technocrats increasingly held power within the party. Eventually,the union found itself forced to deal with a new party in power after the PRI lost the 2000 general election,an event that drastically reduced the CTM's influence in Mexican politics.
Social fascism was a theory developed by the Communist International (Comintern) in the early 1930s which saw social democracy as a moderate variant of fascism.

The Mexican Democratic Party was an ultra-Catholic social conservative political party in Mexico that existed between 1979 and 1997. At its height in 1982,the party had over 500,000 active voters and 12 seats in the Mexican Chamber of Deputies.

The National Synarchist Union was a Mexican political organization. It was historically a movement of the Roman Catholic extreme right,similar to clerical fascism and Falangism,implacably opposed to the policies of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) and its predecessors that governed Mexico from 1929 to 2000 and from 2012 to 2018. The organization was notably the only explicit right-wing movement in Mexico to garner such nation-wide support and influence during this era. At its peak in 1940,there were approximately 500,000 registered members. Mostly active in the late 1930s and early 1940s,its support for the Axis in World War II damaged its reputation. The organization experienced intense infighting in the mid-1940s which ultimately led to multiple schisms. The organization was dissolved as a political party in 1951 and largely faded into obscurity outside the city of Guanajuato,where it retained some local influence. In the 1980s,the UNS was reconstituted as the Mexican Democratic Party,which held seats in the Chamber of Deputies from 1979 to 1988,peaking at 12 Deputies in the 1982 election but losing its presence in 1988;the Mexican Democratic Party (PDM) dissolved in 1997,though two groups both claiming to be the legitimate UNS continued to exist.
The Revolutionary Mexicanist Action,better known as the Gold Shirts,was a Mexican fascist,secular,anti-Semitic,anti-communist,ultra-nationalist paramilitary organization,originated in March 10,1934 in Mexico City and operated until disbanded in 1936. With ultra-nationalist,strikebreaking roots and Nazi German support,the organization sought to expel Chinese,Jews,and communists from Mexico. The organization often violently engaged with labor movements associated with the Mexican Communist Party and with labor strikers.

Centrism is the range of political ideologies that exist between left-wing politics and right-wing politics on the left–right political spectrum. It is associated with moderate politics,including people who strongly support moderate policies and people who are not strongly aligned with left-wing or right-wing policies. Centrism is commonly associated with liberalism,radical centrism,and agrarianism. Those who identify as centrist support gradual political change,often through a welfare state with moderate redistributive policies. Though its placement is widely accepted in political science,radical groups that oppose centrist ideologies may sometimes describe them as leftist or rightist.
Eurocommunism was a trend in the 1970s and 1980s within various Western European communist parties,which said they had developed a theory and practice of social transformation more relevant for Western Europe. During the Cold War,they sought to reject the influence of the Soviet Union and its communist party. The trend was especially prominent in Italy,Spain,and France.
Communism in the Philippines emerged in the first half of the 20th century during the American colonial era of the Philippines. Communist movements originated in labor unions and peasant groups. The communist movement has had multiple periods of popularity and relevance to the national affairs of the country,most notably during the Second World War and the Martial Law Era of the Philippines. Currently,the communist movement is weaker,and considered an insurgent movement by the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
In April 1912 and July 1913,two "unity conferences" were held to discuss and determine the future of organised labour in New Zealand. The events mainly centred around the debate over whether industrial action or political activity should be the means of achieving the aims of workers and additionally to unite the "moderate" and "militant" factions within the labour movement. Whilst neither conference fully unified the labour movement,it laid a framework of co-operation that would later assist during the creation of the current New Zealand Labour Party in 1916.
