Publisher Description: In 2007, French fascist Le Pen won almost four million votes. In 2009 the British National Party won almost a million votes while Germany's fascist NPD won over 750,000. In 2010, fascist-led organisations like the Engish Defence League and Italy's Future and Freedom party emerged. To help activists understand this twenty-first century wave of fascism, this book gathers together the most important analyses from the 20th century. In "Building unity against fascism" you can read: * German socialist Clara Zetkin, Bolshevik leader Karl Radek and Italian communist Antonio Gramsci on the birth on fascism in the early 1920s * Leon Trotsky's article, including "Fascism: What It Is and How To Fight It", explaining why neither capitalist nor Stalinist parties were able to stop fascism in Italy, Germany and Spain in the 1930s. * Maurice Spector's detailed analysis of German fascism in power * Daniel Guérin's 1939 "Fascism and Big Business" and his 1945 preface to its French edition * Ted Grant's booklet, "The Menace of Fascism", which discussed British fascism, the second World War and the Jewish community in Britain * Analysis by Felix Morrow, James P Cannon and Farrell Dobbs of the rise and fall of fascist organisations in the USA in the 20th century. |
