'''National republicanism''' is a variant of radical republicanism defined by belief in a strong sense of civic nationalism achieved through a 'national restoration', national autarky, and anti-mercantilism. As a movement, national republicanism seeks to promote the interests of a particular nation, diametrically opposed to corporate and monarchical institutions. National republican philosophy first emerged among [[Amerikaener]] and [[New England|Yankee]] intellectuals during the 19th century, eventually manifesting itself in the American Spring of Nations and the [[History of Russia#Russian Revolution (1922-1928)|Russian Revolution]] of the early 20th century.

== Terminology ==
== Core concepts ==
National republicanism is built upon several key principles that distinguish it from other political ideologies. These core concepts are central to the national republican belief system and have informed the actions of political parties and movements subscribing to this ideology.
The term national republicanism was coined in 1910 by Hungarian writer Mihály Kun, who called it ''a nacionalizmus republikanizmusa'' (a republicanism of nationalism). It was soon translated in a French newspaper as ''le national-républicanisme'', giving way to the English term national republicanism not long after.

* '''National Restoration''': National republicans advocate for a complete transformation of society through the overthrow of the old order and the creation of a new, unified national consciousness. This process typically involves a political party that prioritizes the national interest above all else, ultimately leading to the establishment of a nationalist republic.

* '''Anti-Liberal Democracy and Monarchism''': National republicans view liberal democracy and conservative monarchism as systems that oppress and weaken the nation, making the people subservient to foreign interests. They argue for a more robust, nationalist system that promotes the nation's welfare and sovereignty.
* '''Self-sufficiency and Protectionism''': Central to national republicanism is the belief in national self-sufficiency, which emphasizes a modernist and protectionist approach to development. This includes the promotion of domestic industries and resources, as well as the limitation of foreign influence on the nation's economy.
* '''Nationalization of Industry''': Unlike certain forms of fascism, most national republicans advocate for the nationalization of key industries, rather than their corporatization. This approach aims to ensure that the nation's resources and infrastructure are controlled and managed for the benefit of the people, rather than private interest.
* '''Anti-Colonialism''': National republicans view colonialism as a violation of the integrity of nations, driven by the pursuit of profit at the expense of the colonized people.
