This is a propaganda movie, that very crisply displays the ideological agenda of the Norwegian fascist party.
It is very interesting, because it highlights the similarities between the fascism of late 30s and early 40s to later labour party politics, which was similar to and heavily influenced by fascism. The labour party has dominated Norwegian politics since world war 2.
Some of these similarities are:
- national unity instead of class struggle. This was the main agenda for the norwegian fascist party, and was copied directly (but never credited, of course!) by the post-war labour government. - a strong leader ("fører") (in the form of gerhardsen for labour party) - corporativism in commerce and politics (the elites in the labour organisations and commerce organisations cooperating and heavily influencing/deciding the top political decisions) focus on norwegian nature and and use of nationalist rhetoric, as opposed to the international orientation of the labour party in the early 1930s anti-communism
The main differences, must also be said, were the presence of freedom of speech, a unbiased justice system, and free elections.
Fascism is much more part of the political heritage in Europe today, than what most would like to admit. This movie shows that trying to distinguish post war social democracy from fascism is very difficult, it was all built together from the same kettle of ideas in the 1930s.
