Entry: Right Face! Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/right_face#13230 Post contents: OK, it happens that I have to hand here at the office (you never known when it might come in handy) a copy of Erik v. Kuehnelt Leddihn’s “Leftism” (1974 edition), where he says the following, at p.159: “Fascism also had a Maurrasian side insofar as it said “yes” to the Catholic Faith as a “national religion” and this attitude had a Machiavellian, a pragmatic basis. In this and other respects fascism differed strongly from Spanish falangism and the Rumanian rather spiritual even if savage Iron Guard ideology [21]”. One must always read EVK’s endnotes, and so turning to the note given, we find, in part as follows (after references to works on the Falange): “The Rumanian Iron Guard, on the other side, had an essentially religious basis. Its strong anti-Judaism had no racist foundation. An authoritative work on this interesting, partly even fantastic movement, has not yet been written. (Most of the sources could be found only east of the Iron Curtain, though much has been destroyed.) Due to its strongly religious (Eastern Church) outlook, the strain of idealism was stronger then in the other totalitarian movements. Sternly repressed by Carol II, it had many martyrs, but it also produced a brutality all its own.” Sent at: 2008 11 23
