Spanish term or phrase: llevaba como bandera una critica al liberalismo democratico

Hola

Esto se refiere al gobierno de Uriburu. Y la oración dice así: Además de las filas conservadoras, sectores estudiantiles e incluso algunos simpatizantes de la izquierda apoyaron en ese momento a un gobierno que llevaba como bandera una dura crítica contra el liberalismo democrático y fundamentalmente una concepción corporativista de la sociedad.

He estado leyendo sobre el liberalismo democrático pero no encuentro una buena traducción.

took up .... as a/their (collective) battle standard/ battle cry

Explanation:
Two other options. I like "cry" better than "standard" if you have the freedom to play with the images a bit.

should read "democratic liberalism" and I don't think it's the same as "liberal democracy"

10 hrs confidence:

brandished fierce anti-liberalism

Explanation:
I feel 'brandish' suggests 'waving defiantly' so perhaps banner is not essential.
On the issue of 'democratic liberalism', even Wikipedia's definition slips into talking about 'liberal democrats' so am interested to know the difference.

whose leitmotif was a fierce attack on democratic liberalism

Explanation:
the bandera part is metaphorical so why not go for something that expresses it better in English without using flag or banner?
