One feature of this movement, according to sociologist Emanuele Toscano, is to present a different interpretation of fascism aimed at overcoming the dichotomy of right-left. The political position of CasaPound is based on the fascist Third Position, defined as "extreme-upper-centre" by the movement itself. The name, inspired by the poet Ezra Pound, refers to his "Cantos" against usury, criticisms of the economic positions of both capitalism and Marxism, and his membership of the Italian Social Republic. It also gives particular attention to the Manifesto of Verona, the Labour Charter of 1927 and social legislation of fascism. There has been collaboration with the identitarian movement which propagates a white, Christian Europe. The movement also claim the legacy of far-left figures, like Che Guevara and Hugo Chávez. On social and domestic issues, CasaPound has a strong anti-immigration rhetoric, but lack of homogeneity on other themes. In January 2016, many members of the movement participated in the "Family Day", supporting the traditional family idea. In 2017, the establishment of CasaPound expressed support to the same-sex marriage, advance directive and improvement of the welfare state. The party supports abortion rights. Some activists of the movement expressed antisemitic and xenophobic rhetoric online, but CasaPound refuses both and expels members who support these ideas. On foreign policy, CasaPound is critical of the European Union, instead supporting a communitarian-nationalist Europe. The Movement was originally both anti-American and anti-Zionist, and started a cooperation with the Lebanese anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist Hezbollah organization in 2015. However, Di Stefano later said, "we do not have problems with Israel". In 2018, Di Stefano defended Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's policies regarding repatriation of illegal immigrants to Africa as "undoubtedly excellent", and criticised humanitarian organisations and the United Nations for intervening to prevent them. Di Stefano has expressed support for U.S. President Donald Trump, but requested that he close U.S. military bases in Italy. The social centre has its own musical band, Zetazeroalfa, an association of civil protection and promotes sports (hiking, parachuting, diving and other disciplines), union activities, and recreational activities, including a theater company, web radio, web television and a monthly magazine. CasaPound has promoted initiatives outside the Italian territory through its non-profit organization Solidarité Identités.
