Mention of the Reading in Part I - https://youtu.be/BhGpcc9MWdU?t=2000
This is the first person account reading of Part II of Varieties of Fascism by Professor Eugen Weber. Reading 4A comes from Corneliu Zelea Codreanu in 1920. Perhaps most interesting about this program is not so much what it says, though it is valuable, but when it was published. Codreanu would publish this first nascent and pious program of his uniquely religious Romanian national socialist movement two weeks before Adolf Hitler and the early Nazi's would publish their first program. In this, aside from the truly unique piety, it cannot be said that Codreanu's National Socialist party was taking its cues or inspirations from the Nazis and seems to imply an organic evolution of the concept of national socialism.
====================================================
In 1964, the world approached the twentieth anniversary of the end of the Second World War. Eugen Weber, a Romanian born, French-educated, British Veteran, and now American professor, sat down to take in the impact of socialism, fascism, and national socialism on the 20th-century world. Having served with the British during the Second World War, Eugen Weber was no stranger to the violent upheaval these ideologies had, and indeed are having.
In the Narrator's opinion, the compilation of this work is invaluable in a current atmosphere of domestic ideological cleavings. Writing nineteen years after the Second World War, a war which Professor Weber fought in, this work has topical adjacency to the real physical manifestations of such phenomena. Additionally, written in the early sixties, the work does not suffer the estrangement and misdefinition of the terms it seeks to educate on.
