Național-comunismul românesc și reinterpretarea sa de către Alianța pentru Unirea Românilor (AUR)
Romanian National Communism and its reinterpretation by the Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR)

Summary/Abstract: This short contribution aims to present the main directions of research that could be followed for the realization of a study regarding the sources of the concept of sovereignty. As shown throughout the text, the concept of sovereignty is closely related to nationalism. Nationalism itself is not an ideology that promotes exclusion as long as it has the capacity to be inclusive. Unfortunately throughout history, nationalism has also had the ability to create political ideologies designed to discriminate and exclude. In the Romanian space, nationalism was strictly linked to sovereignty, even if, depending on the historical period, it was camouflaged by means of other terms. The communist regime, out of the desire to gain the support of the masses, began with the second part of the 60s of the last century to take over the arguments of the political project of the generation of 1848 and its political successors. Under these conditions, the ideology that was the vehicle that allowed the realization of Greater Romania was taken over by communist ideologues to create a whole type of legitimacy, this time of the communist regime and its leader Nicolae Ceaușescu. After the collapse of the communist regime in December 1989, the main theses of national communist communism continued to be circulated, being taken over by the Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR).
