“The young nationalist possesses energy and enthusiasm, and also brute physical strength. Isn’t there a need for youth that is muscular and tense with a kind of cruelty that makes it beautiful and noble? We need young men who are superb and agile beasts and who forget what fear and death are. The struggle for life is not child’s play: there can be no comfort.”

Fabrice Laroche, ‘What is a Militant?’, Europe-Action, 8, August 1963.
