Slovenska ljudska stranka je bila vodilna politična stranka katoliškega tabora. Za stranko je v času do konca druge svetovne vojne značilen nestrpen odnos do liberalizma, komunizma in prostozidarstva ter do Judov, katere so označili kot krivce za družbeno bedo. Eden izmed vodilnih ideologov stranke je bil Ivan Ahčin, ki je kot teolog zagovarjal konservativno politiko ter nadaljeval ideološke poglede Antona Mahniča in Aleša Ušeničnika. Ahčin je bil poleg tega še sociolog, predavatelj, publicist, novinar in politik. Po vojni pa je ostal v tujini, kjer je predaval in bil publicistično dejaven pri različnih časnikih in revijah. Dejaven je bil tudi na znanstvenem področju, njegovo znanstveno delo pa je zajeto predvsem v socioloških knjigah. V zgodovinopisju je znan kot eden izmed ožjih članov vodstva katoliškega gibanja med obema vojnama in vse do konca okupacije Slovenije. Tako kot za SLS je tudi za Ahčina značilen skrajno nestrpen odnos do prostozidarjev in komunistov. Ko je v obdobju med obema svetovnima vojnama prišlo do spogledovanja med totalitarnim režimom in stranko, je Ahčin to povezovanje z nacizmom in s fašizmom skušal razložiti kot rešitev pred komunizmom in liberalizmom. V svojim razpravah je liberalizem obtožil kot glavnega krivca za gospodarsko in družbeno zmedo v svetu, komunizem in prostozidarstvo pa kot največjo nevarnost naše dobe. V času urednikovanja časnika Slovenec je bil Ahčin v zelo tesnih stikih z voditeljem stranke SLS, Antonom Korošcem. Funkcija Koroščevega vrhovnega časnikarja pa mu je v stranki omogočala velik vpliv na njeno politični usmeritev. Zgodovinopisje ga označuje tudi kot glavnega Koroščevega biografa. Slovene People's Party was the most influential of all catholic parties. Until the end of the Second World War, the party was recognizable for its intolerant perception of liberalism, communism, freemasonry and Jews, whom they labeled as the responsible for human poverty. One of the leading ideologists of the party was Ivan Ahčin, who spoke in favor of conservative politics and proceeded with ideological orientations of Anton Mahnič and Aleš Useničnik. Ahčin was also a sociologist, lecturer, publicist, journalist and a politician. After the war he stayed abroad, worked as a lecturer and was active at various newspapers and magazines. He was also active on scientific fields and his scientific work is mostly evident in his sociological books. Histography recognizes him as one of the most important members of leadership of the catholic movement during the interwar period and until the end of Slovenian occupation. Like Slovene People’s Party, also Ahčin held an extremely intolerant perception of freemasons and communists. The interwar period brought coquetry of the party with totalitarian regimes, such as fascism and Nazism, which Ahčin tried to justify as salvation from communism and liberalism. Throughout his dissertations he labeled liberalism as being the main cause for economic and social chaos in the world, while he described communism and freemasonry as the biggest threat of our era. During his editorial period at newspaper Slovenec (Slovenian in translation), Ahčin was closely connected with the leader of the Slovene People’s Party, Anton Korošec. Being his chief editor, Ahčin managed to have a great influence on the party’s political orientations. Historiography also refers to him as being the main biographer of Anton Korošec. |
