  Abstract:  According to Octavian Goga, A. C. Cuza (1857-1947) bore only one idea in the Romanian political life. For 40 years, he was only an anti-Semite politician and nothing more. This article analyzes Cuza’s “applied writings”. His brochures are full of incoherencies. We interpret these incoherencies as localized propaganda. Cuza was not trying to overcome the doubts regarding his ideology ; he was only trying to mobilize as much as possible partisans for his cause. We consider that his strategy relies also on what Eric Wolf describes as the “development of redundancy”, a process of repetitiveness through which one frame of understanding the world imposes itself as the only possible and legitimate way of interpreting it.
