Then you can say that no one is a fascist. What does it take to be a fascist? You believe in the principles, you espouse the principles, you're out there working to enact the principles... is that not enough? They were fascists, and you can see how they split up exactly like the alt-right split up: Codreanu was martyred, Eliade went full ancient aryan gnosticism, Codreanu went full demiurge, and Tutea, who we haven't talked about yet, went full Christian. It's also funny how Ceausescu employed the Iron Guard and then enacted all of its principles. I remember watching interviews about how legionnaires were still extremely powerful after communists took power, and how they were running the "gulags". 20th century Romania really is a microcosm in which you can analyze the entire course of modern human thought.

I didn't say Eliade wasn't a fascist. Cioran was as fascist as Yeats was: young men supporting a cool movement when they were young despite never really understanding it. I don't know much about Romanian history, but I doubt you're correct about the Legionnaires being in charge (well from what I know after Codreanu was assassinated the Legion was compromised anyway.) I'm pretty sure Romania had a long lasting anti communist movement and there were a lot of fascists arrested. The ones in power were Jews and Russians just like everywhere in Eastern Europe in the 50s. If you watched mainstream interviews then you watched propaganda.

Cioran was a full-on fascist, and remained a fascist while playing the optics game. All of his work is filled with esoteric references that you find in gnostic literature, which is the way that most fascists go after fascism.

The jews were in power in Romania for a very short period of time. I think it was just 5 years, before Gheorghiu-Dej' faction came to power and purged all of them. And the interview I watched wasn't mainstream. It was a guy who was in medical school. He was a christian conservative, and there were legionnaires in the university. He talked shit to one of them, and the legionnaire told him that he was going to ruin his life. Two weeks later he was picked up and spent five years in the gulag.

It's well known that Ceausescu recruited the Iron Guard, and as far as I know, there was no strong anti-communist movement after they came to power. Tutea, former Iron Guard, Christian philosopher, was picked up and he kept talking shit about the regime so they locked him up for 15 years I think, but then they let him out and he was still talking shit. By the end of his life he was supporting liberalism.

If you look at the policies that were enacted under Ceausescu, from ultra-nationalism, to the proto-dacic/roman heritage of romania being taught in schools, policies of demographic warfare in the western parts of the country and parts that had heavy hungarian populations, the initiatives to increase the population (birth control and abortion were illegal), and basically the expulsion of the jews (Ceausescu sold jews to Isreal), you can see the legacy of the Iron Guard. These people were fucking wolves, they didn't play around, and they made themselves useful to the regime.

Wikipedia lists a few resistance movements:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanian_anti-communist_resistance_movement
>The Romanian resistance was one of the longest lasting armed movements in the former Eastern Bloc.

About Ceausescu's regime, he came to power in the mid 60s. By then, any dangerous fascist from the Legion was probably long dead or sterilised. The main legacy of the Iron Guard is Codreanu and his writings. It's a failed movement and whatever happened after Codreanu's death is only nominally connected to his movement. If you judge the Legion by whatever remnants you were presented by those still alive during Ceausescu's time then you're missing the point. The Legion had a cult of death: they were long dead/martyred by then.

>About Ceausescu's regime, he came to power in the mid 60s.
He was Gheorghiu-Dej' righthand man who took over the government with the explicit purpose of ridding it of jews and russians.

I've never heard of these resistance movements, not in school, not on TV, not from people that lived through that period, and not in the books that I've read. They were probably very small. There was instability though in post-war Romania, and part of that instability was from the foreign people in the government, and probably the pervasive anti-Christian sentiment. Both these policies were reversed.

>It's a failed movement and whatever happened after Codreanu's death is only nominally connected to his movement.
Yeah, they probably weren't followers of Codreanu's belief system, but they were fascists nonetheless. Codreanu wasn't the only fascist in the world. It's not like communists (and capitalists) didn't employ fascists wherever they could. You had Nazi German generals that were captured by the USSR and put in charge of the military in Eastern Germany, and the Nazi head of foreign intelligence running the Western German intelligence apparatus up until the 60s. Also, if you look at the Iron Guard, they actually suppressed the Legionnaires, so it's was a very mixed movement filled with all kinds of people. The way I see it, the Iron Guard was the shrewd, machiavellian organization of the two, while the Legionnaire's were the idealists that got the ball rolling.

>> No.18686716

>>18686686
You don't know about Ogoranu? I haven't read much about communist Romania but they even made a film about this guy (the film was heavily attacked by Jews).

The Iron Guard/ Legionnaires was not a mixed movement while Codreanu was alive. He had absolute power over the movement and it was explicitly organised such that everyone in the organisation had to execute the orders. I don't particularly care about the movement after Codreanu's death: the whole thing was obviously incredibly idealistic and had no chance to succeed in real life. I think Codreanu was inspiring in his sincerity and dedication, but I would never join him because it's fundamentally insane and fanatic. It's just a nice episode of human nature showing its nobility and naivety. It's more art than politics. That's why I like Codreanu more than the other 2 when it comes to literary legacy.

That's fair. I can see that. It's all the same with these fascists, everywhere the same pattern. Back then and now. Idealists shocked by a decadent society who just sperg out and eventually burn themselves out. Afterwards, some of them go the optics route, others go the Christian route, but the few of them who were just in it for the carnage carry on and take mankind to the moon.

That's true for most communists, just like it's true for most fascists, but if you read Mao, you will see a more, not just rational, but empathetic person. Which is funny considering the 60 gorrilion (I haven't got to that part in his writings yet), but apparently that famine was caused by the fact that he exported food to buy nukes from the USSR. Fascists are almost uniquely idealists and mysticists, while communists are atheists and materialists. Communists combine their mysticism with materialism in the form of Hegelian dialectic, and even the leadership like Mao, have theories on it, such as how the negation of negation works in a dialectic. When combined with their cosmic atheism, you get some really interesting psychological profiles and worldviews.

Mothers of at least five children were entitled to receive significant benefits, while mothers of at least ten children were declared "heroine mothers" by the Romanian state.

>The government targeted rising divorce rates, and made divorce more difficult—it was decreed that marriages could only be dissolved in exceptional cases.
