Thai Fascism

Thai Fascism is an ideology based on Thai royalists with fascist and ultranationalist views, most notably Field Marshall Plaek Phibunsongkhram and  Thanom Kittakachorn.

History

 * [[File:Phibunsongkhram.png]] Plaek Phibunsongkhram - Field Marshal Plaek "Phibun" Phibunsongkhram was a Thai military officer and politician who served as the Prime Minister of [[File:Thailand.png]] Thailand from 1938 to 1944 and 1948 to 1957. Phibun was a member of the Royal Siamese Army wing of Khana Ratsadon "People's Party", the first political party in Thailand, and a leader of the Siamese revolution of 1932, transforming Thailand from an [[File:Abmon.png]] absolute monarchy to a [[File:Conmon.png]] constitutional monarchy.

Phibun became the third Prime Minister of Thailand in 1938 as Commander of the Royal Siamese Army, established a totalitarian military dictatorship inspired by the Italian fascist  Benito Mussolini, promoted Thai  nationalism and  sinophobia, and allied Thailand with  Empire of Japan in World War II. Phibun launched a modernization campaign known as the Thai Cultural Revolution that included a series of cultural mandates such as changing the country's name from "Siam" to "Thailand", and promoting the common Thai language.

Phibun was ousted as prime minister by the National Assembly in 1944 and replaced by members of the Free Thai Movement, until returning to power through another coup d'etat in 1947. Phibun aligned Thailand with anti-communism in the Cold War and participated in the Korean War under  the United Nations Command.

Phibun's second term as prime minister was plagued by political instability and was subject to several attempted coup d'etats to remove him, including the Army General Staff plot in 1948, the Palace Rebellion in 1949, and the Manhattan Rebellion in 1951. Phibun's deteriorating relationship with His Majesty Bhumibol proved to be his downfall as he was overthrown in 1957 by General  Sarit Thanarat who accused him of Lèse-majesté. After his downfall, Phibun entered exile in Japan, where he died in 1964.


 * [[File:ThaiArmy.png]] Thanom Kittikachorn - Following the death of Sarit Thanarat, Field Marshal Thanom Kittikachorn became Prime Minister and the new military dictator of Thailand from 1963-1973. Thanom Kittikachorn's government got Thailand involved in the Vietnam War and Thailand during his tenure was the third-largest provider of ground forces to [[File:Cball-SouthVietnam.png]] South Vietnam, following [[File:Cball-US.png]] the US and [[File:Cball-South Korea.png]] South Korea. Thanom's government allowed the United States Air Force in Thailand to use its air and naval bases and at the height of the war, almost 50,000 American military personnel were stationed in Thailand.

Thanom's regime was known for massive corruption and faced multiple popular uprisings such as the communist insurgency by the Communist Party of Thailand (CPT) and 1970s peasant revolts in Thailand. Public discontent with Thanom's dictatorship reached its peak during the student-led 1973 Thai popular uprising that forced Thanom and his allies into exile in the US and  Singapore.

In October 1976, Thanom returned to Thailand in the robes of a novice monk. Even though he announced he had no desire to re-enter politics, his return triggered student protests, which eventually moved onto the campus of Thammasat University. As this happened only a year after South Vietnam and Laos had fallen to communism, right-wing Thai citizens mistakenly suspected the protesters wished the same fate for their own country. On 6 October 1976, right-wing militants, aided by government security forces, stormed the Thammasat campus, violently broke up the protests, and killed and injured many protesters in what came to be known as the 6 October 1976 massacre.


 * [[File:Rienthong.png]] Rubbish Collection Organization: The Rubbish Collection Organization (RCO; Thai: องค์กรเก็บขยะแผ่นดิน; RTGS: ongkon kep khaya phaendin) is a Thai state-sponsored online ultra-royalist vigilante group that has been characterized as fascist. Headed by Rienthong Nanna, an ultra-royalist former major general, medical doctor, director of Mongkut Wattana Hospital and special advisor to the Prime Minister, it was founded during the 2013–2014 Thai political crisis, on the side of the People's Democratic Reform Committee, and as of July 2019 had 300,000 likes on its Facebook page. The RCO is organized along professional military-style lines and engages in mob activism. Its stated aim is to 'eradicate' Thailand's “social rubbish” and to “eradicate lèse-majesté offenders completely.” The RCO has adopted civic volunteerism and publicizes state-organized mass events, such as royal bicycle rallies, through social media.

The Thai Pakdee group’s manifesto includes the safeguarding of Thailand’s three pillars of The Nation, the Religion and the Monarchy, resistance to all kinds of monopoly, support for technology, a self-sufficient economy and promotion of the “Thainess” characteristic.
