Entry: The Neocons and Charles Maurras Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/leo_strauss_the_neocons_and_charles_maurras#6538 Post contents: In response to a few of your questions: Maurras was indeed an impassioned regionalist, who allied himself with leftist felibriges (provencaux writers) in promoting greater autonomy for Provence and other French regions. He was also highly critical of Franco for trying to crush Catalan regionalism, which Maurras defended in his tracts. Lukacs was correct to stress his conservatism rather than his very eccentric nationalism. The term integral nationalism, contrary to what the book I reviewed suggests,came not from Maurras but from Maurice Barres, who was an anti-dreyfusard Republican. Croix de Feu was was never fascist nor pro-Nazi. It was a rassemblement des anciens combattants, an organization of WWI vets, which objected to the corruption of the Third Republic.
