Occident (1964 - 1968)

"While it had a much smaller membership (some 500–600) and far scarcer resources than Europe-Action, Occident made its mark as the main activist group on the extreme right in the 1960s. This was due primarily to its ‘commando’ actions against left-wing students, PCF offices, immigrant associations, anti-colonialists and other ‘enemy’ targets, such as the Vietnamese Consulate-General in Paris. The Vietnam War had replaced the Algerian War as the battleground against communist expansionism, and Occident proclaimed its mission to ‘Defend the West wherever it fights’."
