Marxists In The Face Of Fascism

An unparalleled documentation of the most important Marxist analyses of fascism and the struggle to resist it.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Fascism's ascent to power across Europe in the 1920s and 1930s marks one of the greatest historical defeats of the left. Far from inevitable, this catastrophic defeat was resisted at every turn by Marxists of varying stripes who tried, unsuccessfully, to push the mass communist and social democratic parties to organise an opposition to the rising movements of violent reaction.

This important volume, Marxists In The Face Of Fascism, offers the most complete selection of Marxist writings on fascism from this period in any language and provides invaluable lessons for contemporary readers concerned with today's far-right.
