| Notes | Weigel, together with Milo Dor, were the intellectual pillars of anti-Communism in Austria. Both were renegades (former sympathizers of communism), which was a central characteristic of the anti-Communist narrative, though less important than reimmigration in anti-Communism in Austria. He was a representative of conservative-austriacist conception of art that did not support new artistic trends, but rather sought to restore previous cultural glory. He wrote many essays on the "homeless left". |
