The Tragedy of the Romanian Iron Guard

[Thomas777]

I don't put much merit in Julius Evola, other than as a historical curiosity...but I am rather fascinated by the phenomenon of the 'Iron Guard', and Evola's thoughts on it sort of capture the ideological culture of the Fascist era. Check it out: http://thompkins_cariou.tripod.com/id15.html

A person who I revere more then almost any in the world definitely would not have survived if they had won out over Antonescau (who im told like Mussolinni cooperated with the Final Solution as little as possible)...

I'm not endorsing Codreanu's ideology. We have being dealing with what Clerical Fascism is and is not quite a bit, and I think that this piece offers some compelling insight.

Evola might come off as a far-out mystic and and oddball, but the guy was and is sort of essential to the Fascist ideological culture...plus, he brushed shoulders with many Fascist and Nazi luminaries so his first-person accounts are fascinating.

Ah yes, Corneliu Codreanu, a very honest man and the greatest figure of Romanian history.

Many authoritarian regimes tried to deceive their people by calling themselves 'democratic', but Codrenau openly opposed this political abomination. Most admirable.

May his soul rest in peace.

A great man indeed, as i've said before i hold him in higher regards than virtually any other fascist or traditionalist figure in this time period, he's the archetype for me. Charismatic, uncompromising, and ultimately, tragic. The man was already in positions of power by his early thirties, he lived more in his 38 years than most people with normal lifespans ever could.
