{{Short description|Authoritarian regime}}
{{Forms of government}}
A '''right-wing dictatorship''', sometimes also referred to as a '''rightist dictatorship''' or '''right-wing authoritarianism''', is an authoritarian or sometimes totalitarian regime following right-wing policies. Right-wing dictatorships are typically characterized by appeals to [[Social:Traditionalist conservatism|traditionalism]], the protection of law and order and often the advocacy of [[Social:Nationalism|nationalism]], and justify their rise to power based on a need to uphold a conservative ''[[Philosophy:Status quo|status quo]]''. Examples of right-wing dictatorships may include [[Social:Anti-communism|anti-communist]] ones, such as [[Place:Nazi Germany|Nazi Germany]], Fascist Italy, [[Place:Estado Novo (Portugal)|Estado Novo]], Francoist Spain, [[Social:Military dictatorship of Chile (1973–1990)|the Chilean Junta]], the Greek Junta, [[Social:Military dictatorship in Brazil|the Brazilian military dictatorship]], the Argentine Junta (or National Reorganization Process); Republic of China under Chiang Kai-shek, South Korea when it was led by Syngman Rhee, Park Chung Hee and Chun Doo-hwan; and a number of military dictatorships in Latin America during the [[History:Cold War|Cold War]],<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=u2-XDAAAQBAJ|title=Dictatorship|first=Diane|last=Bailey|location=Broomall, Pennsylvania|publisher=Mason Crest|series=Major Forms of World Government|date=2 September 2014|isbn=978-1-4222-9455-0|oclc=1088312521|editor-first=Timothy J.|editor-last=Colton|page=22|}}</ref> or those that agitate anti-Western sentiments, such as [[Social:Russia under Vladimir Putin|Russia under Vladimir Putin]].

==Characteristics of a right-wing dictatorship==
=== Military dictatorship ===
{{Main|Social:Military dictatorship}}
In the most common Western view, the perfect example of a right-wing dictatorship is any of those that once ruled in [[Earth:South America|South America]].{{According to whom|date=August 2021}} Those regimes were predominantly military juntas and most of them collapsed in the 1980s. Communist countries, which were very cautious about not revealing their authoritarian methods of rule to the public, were usually led by civilian governments and officers taking power were not much welcomed there.{{citation needed|date=August 2021}} Few exceptions include the [[Social:Burmese Way to Socialism|Burmese Way to Socialism]] (Burma, 1966–1988), the Military Council of National Salvation (People's Republic of Poland, 1981–1983) or the North Korean regime's evolution throughout the rule of [[Biography:Kim Il Sung|Kim Il Sung]].

=== Religion and the government ===
{{Main|Social:Clerical fascism}}
Many right-wing regimes kept strong ties with local clerical establishments. This policy of a strong Church-state alliance is often referred to as [[Social:Clerical fascism|Clerical fascism]]. Pro-Catholic dictatorships included the [[Place:Estado Novo (Portugal)|Estado Novo]] (1933–1974) and the Federal State of Austria (1934–1938). There also exist clerical dictatorships in the [[Religion:Muslim|Muslim]] world, including the Islamic Republic of Iran and the [[Place:Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan|Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan]]. The theocratic [[Social:Absolute monarchy|absolute monarchies]] of Saudi Arabia or [[Religion:Vatican City|Vatican City]] also share many similarities with the regimes mentioned above.{{citation needed|date=January 2021}} Many of those are/were led by spiritual leaders, such as the [[Place:Slovak Republic (1939–1945)|Slovak Republic]] under the Reverend Josef Tiso or Iran under the [[Religion:Ayatollah|Ayatollah]]s Khomeini (1979–1989) and Khamenei (1989–present). Some right-wing dictatorships, like [[Place:Nazi Germany|Nazi Germany]], were even openly hostile to certain religions.<ref name="Gottfried2001">{{cite book|last=Gottfried|first=Ted|title=Heroes of the Holocaust|url=https://archive.org/details/isbn_9780761317173|url-access=registration|access-date=14 January 2017|year=2001|publisher=Twenty-First Century Books|isbn=9780761317173|pages=[https://archive.org/details/isbn_9780761317173/page/24 24]–25|quote=Some groups that are known to have helped Jews were religious in nature. One of these was the Confessing Church, a Protestant denomination formed in May 1934, the year after Hitler became chancellor of Germany. One of its goals was to repeal the Nazi law "which required that the civil service would be purged of all those who were either Jewish or of partly Jewish descent." Another was to help those "who suffered through repressive laws, or violence." About 7,000 of the 17,000 Protestant clergy in Germany joined the Confessing Church. Much of their work has one unrecognized, but two who will never forget them are Max Krakauer and his wife. Sheltered in sixty-six houses and helped by more than eighty individuals who belonged to the Confessing Church, they owe them their lives. German Catholic churches went out of their way to protect Catholics of Jewish ancestry. More inclusive was the principled stand taken by Catholic Bishop Clemens Count von Galen of Munster. He publicly denounced the Nazi slaughter of Jews and actually succeeded in having the problem halted for a short time. ... Members of the Society of Friends--German [[Religion:Quakers|Quakers]] working with organizations of Friends from other countries--were particularly successful in rescuing Jews. ... Jehovah's Witnesses, themselves targeted for concentration camps, also provided help to Jews.}}</ref>

== Right-wing dictatorships by region==
The [[Social:Authoritarianism|authoritarian politics]] of several countries can range from parties and movements on the [[Social:Centre-right politics|center-right]] to the [[Social:Far-right politics|far-right]], including some that are [[Social:Big tent|difficult to define]]. The [[Social:Democracy indices|degree of authoritarianism can also vary]].

Cases supported by varius sources and definitions will be presented below:

=== Europe ===
The existence of right-wing dictatorships in Europe are largely associated with the rise of [[Social:Fascism|fascism]]. The conditions created by [[Social:World War I|World War I]] and its aftermath gave way both to [[Social:Revolutionary socialism|revolutionary socialism]] and [[Philosophy:Reactionary|reactionary]] politics. Fascism arose as part of the reaction to the socialist movement, in attempt to recreate a perceived status quo ante bellum.<ref>''The New Fontaena Dictionary of Modern Thought'' Third Edition, (1999) p. 729.</ref> Right-wing dictatorships in Europe were mostly destroyed with the Allied victory in [[Social:World War II|World War II]], although some continued to exist in [[Place:Southern Europe|Southern Europe]] until the 1970s.
