The year was 1938 and in Romania the fascist organization "Legion of the Archangel Michael" had managed to obtain a healthy percentage of almost 16% of the total votes. Our country had one of the largest fascist movements in Europe. The Legion had amassed 272,000 members gathered in 34,000 "nests". That's what they were called. A "nest" is a small group of fascists. Like master birds, at that time, the legionnaires sat quietly in the nest waiting for the boss bird to come and pour fascism directly into their mouths. Extremist ideas are more nutritious if, in advance, they are digested by another for you. "Leaded by the charismatic Corneliu Zelea Codreanu, the legionnaires combined political assassination, street violence and anti-Semitic speech with romantic nationalism, religious symbolism and charitable projects. They claimed allegiance to a 'religion' rather than a political party and described the legion as a 'spiritual' movement whose objective was to create a 'new man' through suffering and sacrifice." Let's not forget that before they were big and scary, fascists were young and persuasive. Before they were arrogant and scowling they were passionate and dedicated. The question is: how did the legionnaires gather so many members? How did they manage to convince hundreds of thousands of Romanians? Books: 1.
