Some were ultimately totalitarian. But for many, perhaps the majority, the preferred form of government was liberal democracy of one stripe or another. Say what you will, Action Francaise was one of the few political forces that were NOT hostile to the Church.<br /><br />Today, there is no Action Francaise, nor anything remotely like it.
