/lit/ - Literature

The newspaper clippings were probably my favorite part because I see certain people acting the same exact way in our media.

>>15254666
Those were some of the dryer parts, but overall enjoyable for the similarity to our modern media, as you said.

To know the Gendarmes would torture and kill Nationalists for small payments of cars and other goods, shows how easily corruptible the Jews can make people.

Codreanu’s most effective propaganda in these years was to be
work, action, and the example. Hundreds of voluntary labor camps of
the Legion, then called the TPT Party, dotted the map of Romania,
repairing village bridges, roads, and churches, building dams, digging
wells and working “for the collective and national solidarity.” In these
camps, the boyar son worked side by side with the son of the laborer and
the peasant, creating a powerful feeling of national unity and renovation.
If the new intellectuals who graduated (or failed to graduate) in creasing
numbers from the universities and joined the ranks of the Legion were
strongly anti-Semitic because of the Jewish middle classes blocking their
way, the lower classes came to the Legion because they hoped to fulfill
their desires for a social justice on a national rather than a Russian Bolshevik
platform.

In the years 1934-1935, both King Carol and Prime Minister
Tatarescu entertained highly dubious relations with the Legion. After all,
the Legion was a force which could hardly be ignored, and the general
Fascist upsurge indicated that it might easily become the wave of the
future.

The Iron Guard kept growing. As the majority of bourgeois anti-
Semites opted for Goga and Cuza, the youth and the peasantry increasingly
joined the ranks of the Legion. The year 1936 was an eminently
successful one for the Legion, enjoying as it was an uneasy, hopeful toleration
by the authorities — uneasy because of the extent of its growth,
hopeful because Carol and the oligarchy still hoped to control and use it.

As the Legion increased in importance, it had to take a certain number
of stands on practical issues of the day despite its acute revulsion to
dealing with the problemsof the sordid twentieth-century industrial age.
These stands and attitudes were taken on an ad hoc basis when the
Legion had to face them, and the result was a curious mixture of their
ideology and more realistic considerations. Alchough it concentrated its
activities in the villages, the Legion formed the Corps of Legionary Workers
in 1936 and in addition to the dozens of labor camps, Codreanu
ordered the Legion to enter a very new field for Romanians, commerce.
He wanted to prove that not only Jews could be successful in this area.”
In less than a year, the Battalion of Legionary Commerce founded a chain
of Legionary restaurants, groceries, and repair shops covering Bucharest
and the provincial towns. The income from these establishments financed
vacations for underprivileged children and provided funds for the movement.”
Besides the commercial establishments, there was a Legionary
welfare organization, and steps were taken to organize Legionary cooperatives.
At the opening of the Legionary sanatorium in Predeal, different
payment rates were established. Everybody was to pay according to his
conscience; the poor were not to pay at all.

Yeah read it recently and it raises some interesting point
I found interesting how the press, universities, professors act in the same way as they act nowadays pushing for a particular politics and dismissing as dangerous whatever doesn't apply to their ideology
Despite his tragic end I appreciated his will to keep on the fight even against all odds

Would anyone be interested in translations of essays and maybe short books by some leading intellectuals in the Guard movement?

>>15254396
isn't this that book by the romanian fascist that tried to justify his fascism?

>>15257714
You don't need to justify fascism, you need to justify not being a fascist.

bump

>the press, universities, professors act in the same way as they act nowadays

It demonstrates the true nature of the ”democratic” system we live in. Politics have been travelling consistently towards the left since the Enlightenment and there is no sign of it slowing down. There is only one party with two or more faces.

>>15257663
Of course, but bump this thread until I wake up tomorrow so I can see them. Or make another thread another time if this one dies. They are translations from romanian, right?

Wherever the Legionary's hand and soul show up, a garden appears.

Does anyone know any good books on National Syndicalism beyond Sorel? I've been looking for some reading on the subject and think this is the thread.

Bro the jews only exploited the corruyption, they didint "make" people corrupt. It has alawys been that way, in fact one of the major reasons why Caesar conquered gaul with such a small army in comparison to their population was because they kept selling eachother out for pennies.

>>15259282
Yeah, I haven't finished the translations though, they're kind of plodding along. I am mostly doing them to practice my Romanian but I figured, why not clean them up a bit and just "publish" them for free on /lit/? Pretty sure no one's translated them before.

>>15259310
You might like Eugen Weber's book on the precursors to fascism in France like Action Francaise and the Cercle Proudhon.

>>15254396
Did you miss the part where Codreanu can go scarcely a page without insulting Jews?

>>15259825
Jews had overrun Romania. The entire media was dominated by them, the universities were full of them, they were dominating the whole urban middle class in a developing country with almost no native Romanian middle class, all the trades and avenues of class mobility for the natives. It was a really bad situation. Most of them were from Russia and obviously had no special loyalty to Romania, or even really a sense of what Romania was. It was an accident to them that they were in SOME country and they had to make it work for them. They saw themselves as Jews, not as Romanians, and the ones who didn't see themselves as Jews primarily saw themselves as Bolsheviks and openly tried to get Russia (the massive unpredictable new communist superpower just across the border, with a reputation for being an apocalyptic rape army of millions of mobilized angry Russian barbarians, remember) to invade Romania, which had just been born as a nation a few years previous.

Hating Jews was like half of what Romanians did politically since 1850. Every one of their major political, literary and intellectual figures was hardcore anti-semitic.

>>15254396
>the Legion carried out assassinations of politicians it viewed as corrupt, including Prime Minister

>On 30 November, it was announced that Codreanu, the Nicadori and the Decemviri had been shot after trying to flee custody the previous night.

Good riddance.

>a political system hates enemies of the system
what are you? 8?

>>15259855
keep seething tripnigger

>>15259855

Terrible posts, read a book

>>15259855
> the Nicadori and the Decemviri
Why are these people always LARPing as the Roman Empire?

>>15257831
How about I justify bashing your skull in

>>15260497
that's the key, anon, choosing the right book to read. unfortunately, you suck at that.

>>15260629
how about you dilate

>>15257663
Absolutely, yes. We have almost nothing in English

>>15260635
reading a book by an author who failed at his attempt to seize power and got fed with a taste of his own medicine.

Fascism and alike are for kids who refuse to take up responsibility for their own lives and looking for a father figure. It' was a meme on 4chan years ago, this whole natsoc thing. Sad to see that the Zoomers took it not as satire but as truth.

I can't find much of anything about the Guard movement on Libgen. Any recommendations? I already read the prison notes.

>>15260793
Try Sword of the Archangel.

Payne's book on Falange in Spain is also worth reading.

>Buharest meathook lovers
Yikes. They were so pathetic.

>>15259855
die triptrash

>actually blindly swallowing propaganda
Truly "redpilled" indeed.

>>15260661
Read Mussolini

>>15260606
Gonna be hard with those skinny frail arms of yours, eh commie.

>I'll bash your fucking skull in, you god damned fascist. Why don't you go solve your daddy issues before making racist, misogynistic, and trans phobic comments on the internet? I swear to god I will fucking stomp your nazi skulls into dust.

>>15256965
>I found interesting how the press, universities, professors act in the same way as they act nowadays pushing for a particular politics and dismissing as dangerous whatever doesn't apply to their ideology

As if Fascists weren't dismissing things they deemed as 'dangerous' when they were in power lol.

>>15262333
give me ONE book by him. I've always wanted to learn more about Italian Futurists anyway.

>>15263215
If you want to learn about the Futurists dont read Mussolini, read Marinetti or D'Annunzio.

>>15263222
then give ONE book by them (and/or Musso) so that that ( >>15262333
) anon is happy.

>>15259852
>Jews had overrun Romania
>annex huge swaths of land full of jews for your clay autism and then complain about it.
Also how can every “major political, literary and intellectual figure in Romania be an anitsemite when Jews “dominated“ those fields?

>>15262333
Why should i read your favorite insignificant literature when my limited time would better be spent rereading the Organon or hundreds of other works. Maybe you should stop wasting your time with bad books.

>>15257663
Please

>>15259337
>reasons why Caesar conquered gaul with such a small army in comparison to their population
not all gaul
