Mention of the Reading in Part I - This reading is only mentioned implicitly through the actions of the post-Codreanu Legion in 1941 and onward
This is the first person account reading of Part II of Varieties of Fascism by Professor Eugen Weber. More fully explained in the special forward, reading 4C is not connected with Codreanu but was from a later more militant and violent generation of Legionaries. Only a mere snippet of a larger and rather verbose list of "beliefs" reading 4C is notable for its change in tone and tactic. Violence starts to become more directly espoused and an apocalyptic feeling appears. This is understandable as the reading is from a late 1944 Legionary publication and closely coincides with the Legion's earlier failed coup and the approaching Soviet armies.
====================================================
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.
