'''Rexism''' was a [[fascism|fascist]] political movement in the first half of the [[twentieth century]] in [[Belgium]].
▲{{Template:Fascism}}
Rexism was founded in [[1930]] by [[Léon Degrelle]], a [[French language|French]] speaking Belgian. The name derived from the [[Latin]] slogan ''Christus Rex'', "[[Christ the King]]," which was also the title of a [[conservative]] [[Roman Catholicism|Roman Catholic]] journal. The [[ideology]] of Rexism called for the moral renewal of Belgian society in conformity with the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, by forming a [[corporatism|corporatist]] society, and abolishing [[democracy]]. The Rexist movement attracted support mostly among the [[Walloon]]s, the French-speaking Belgians; it had a counterpart on the [[Flemish language|Flemish]] side in the [[Vlaamsch-Nationaal Verbond]], or "VNV". It soon began to ally itself with the interests of [[Germany]] and to incorporate [[Nazi]]-style [[anti-Semitism]] into its platform after [[Adolf Hitler]]'s rise to power, and got financial support from [[Nazi Germany|German Nazi]] interests.
