National Salvation Front

The National Salvation Front was a political party formed in the United States (1776-1933) shortly before the MacArthur Putsch and Red May Revolution that thereafter served as the ruling party on American Havana following the White exile. Initially a fascist party explicitly formed to prevent socialists from taking office, after arriving in Cuba, the party gradually developed into a less radical form of right-wing authoritarianism, especially after American Havana joined World War II on the side of the Allies Forces.

History
The National Salvation Front was assembled between late 1932 and early 1933, ahead of Douglas MacArthur's coup d'etat of the United States' constitutional government on February 1, 1933. Drawing together bourgeois politicians from both the Republican and Democratic parties far-right groups, state police forces, businesspeople and other members of the establishment, the NSF aimed to create a broad reactionary alliance to support the military government, and to prevent the elected socialist government lead by Norman Thomas from taking office. Coercing the incumbent President Herbert Hoover into declaring martial law and handing de facto executive power to MacArthur, the Government of National Salvation would immediately outlaw the Workers' Communist Party and summarily assassinate President-Elect Thomas in DC, along with other key officials of the leadership of the WCP and their electoral coalition partners, the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party.

In spite of their actions, the NSF was unable to defeat uprisings in Red strongholds against the coup. Insurrection would spread across the country, and following military success, the opposition Provisional Government lead by Vice-President-Elect Upton Sinclair would declare the formation of the Union of American Socialist Republics in the Red May Revolution. Anti-NSF Republicans and Democrats would coalesce into the Democratic-Republican Party, and with Washington D.C. falling that summer, NSF forces (known as the "Whites") were unable to even prevent the tide of Revolution from rising in their presumed strongholds such as the South. White forces were forced to flee to Cuba, an evacuation the Reds were unable to prevent. Collaborating with local elites, the Whites would annex the Cuban state and establish a government-in-exile, based in Havana.

During their early years in Cuba, working-class natives to the island would face repression and violation of civil liberties, as the MacArthurite government attempted to construct a fascist-inspired American nationalist regime....
