Most of the responses I got today from Integralists were unresponsive, but a few were substantive and very interesting. Thanks for those!
With the rather significant caveat that some or all of these people may not be Integralists nor represent Integralism accurately, here are some of those substantive responses. https://twitter.com/robin_c_douglas/status/1301241674522415105?s=21
Fascinating thread. https://twitter.com/iacobusnovus/status/1301225314480205824?s=21
All interesting, all helpful. These were the exceptions, however. Most were either bland assurances that an Integralist state would be oriented toward the highest good (and who doesn’t like the highest good?), or else an entirely needless reminder that...
...Liberalism also has its substantive moral commitments, but disguises those in the arid language of proceduralism. I know. I get it.
Anyway, I’ll think on this.

Lastly, to those Integralists who like to note that it was a secular regime that produced the Holocaust, not a Catholic one, this (Berakhot 13a) seems apposite. You see, there were other, earlier catastrophes as well.
Here's one more interesting thread, for which I am also grateful. Baffled by some of its assertions (e.g. that liberalism advances no substantive common good), but the message is clear enough. https://twitter.com/tomasdiaz88/status/1301176702240993282
Can a Jew hope to live in peace under an Integralist regime? The answer appears to be yes, at least in theory (actual history gives us some reason for doubt). But he, or at least his doctrine, is not permitted to be attractive. https://twitter.com/tomasdiaz88/status/1301176714752593922
