According to historian [[Stanley G. Payne]], [[Interwar period|interwar]] Arab nationalism was influenced by European fascism, with the creation of at least seven Arab nationalist shirt movements similar to the [[Sturmabteilung|brown shirt]] movement by 1939, with the most influenced ones being the SSNP, the Iraqi Futawa youth movement and the [[Young Egypt Party (1933)|Young Egypt]] movement.<ref name="payne" /> These three movements would share characteristics like being territorially expansionist, with the SSNP wanting the complete control of Syria, belief in the superiority of their own people (with Saadeh theorizing a "distinct and naturally superior" Syrian race), being "nonrationalist, anti-intellectual, and highly emotional" and "[emphasizing] military virtues and power [and stressing] self-sacrifice".<ref name="payne" /> Also according to Payne, all these movements received strong influence from European fascism and praised the Italian and German fascism but "[they never became] fully developed fascist movements, and none reproduced the full characteristics of European fascism"; the influence in Arab nationalism remained long after 1945.<ref name="payne" /> Also, Saadeh's superior race was not a pure one, but a fusion of all races in Syrian history.<ref name="payne" /> The SSNP would be "[an] elite group, with little structure for mobilization".<ref name="payne">{{cite book |author=Stanley G.
