This is the first person account reading of Part II of Varieties of Fascism by Professor Eugen Weber. As with reading 4A, reading 4B also comes from the mouth of Codreanu. Written in 1928 the first thing to pop out is that by this time Codreanu had firmly changed the named of the movement from "Iron Legion/Guard" to "The Legion of the Archangel Micheal". The piety, Christian influences, and emphasis on work and sacrifice are still central to this program as to the prior one. A more notable change, however, is the somewhat more aggressive political tone and criticism of this program. There is an implied rejection of competing works and a reaffirmation that only a total overhaul of the "person" will lead to the overhaul of the state.
====================================================
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.
