Mention of the Reading in Part I - https://youtu.be/Z_iNCNMrv2Q?t=538
This is the first person account reading of Part II of Varieties of Fascism by Professor Eugen Weber. Reading 1C is a rather rambling historical and political accounting of the rise and purpose of fascism as penned in a letter like fashion by Benito Mussolini himself. Informal, and somewhat self-aggrandizing, this excerpt gives valuable insight into the mind, opinion, and hopes of Benito Mussolini.
====================================================
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.
