Nimio de Anquín (1896 — 1979) was an Argentine Thomist writer and fascist politician.

A native of Córdoba, Argentina, de Anquín studied law at National University of Córdoba.[1] With his studies in Argentina completed he travelled to Germany to study philosophy under Ernst Cassirer.[2] Whilst in Europe he developed his interest in politics and became a follower of the ideas of Charles Maurras after coming into contact with his work.[1] Soon de Anquín sought to develop his own political ideas by seeking to combine Thomism with Hegelianism, leading him to call for a national syndicalist state.[3]

He was a founder of the Instituto San Tomas de Aquino in Córdoba, Argentina in 1929 and this group would become linked to the Argentine Fascist Party.[4] In 1934 he joined the Fascismo Argentino de Córdoba (Blueshirts). By the following year he had taken over as leader of the group, which by then had changed its name to the Frente de Fuerzas Fascistas in 1935.[3] Various groups then merged in 1936 to emerge as the Union National Fascista under de Anquin's leadership.[5]

However de Anquín found it difficult to lead the fascist movement in the face of opposition. In 1934 he was suspended from his lectureship at the Colegio Nacional de Monserrat, in Córdoba, due to the violence of his movement.[3] The violence continued however until active repression began in late 1936 when he attempted to force university students to sign a letter in support of Francisco Franco.[5] By 1939 the Union National Fascista was effectively moribund.[3]

With his movement now defunct de Anquín returned to lecturing, initially in his home town then later in Santa Fe.[3] He did not abandon politics altogether however and became associated with the journals Sol y Luna and Nueva Politica and, on a more religious note, the group of intellectuals around Marcelo Sánchez Sorondo. He continued to write on political matters until late in his life, inevitably focusing on his two favoured themes of militant nationalism and anti-democracy.[3]
