Description
Antifascism: The Course of a Crusade by Paul Gottfried This book offers a scholarly exploration of the antifascist movement, tracing its development from early twentieth-century Europe to its contemporary American manifestation. Paul Gottfried examines the major shifts in antifascist ideology since the 1960s, including changes in models of the state, assumptions about human nature, and the relationship between nationalism and globalism. Gottfried argues that the dominant force in modern Western politics is an intersectional Left that has replaced a recognizably Marxist Left. He discusses the role of this new Left in shaping political and ideological struggles, as well as the antifascism of the American conservative establishment and the activities of Antifa in the United States. The book also includes an excursus on the theory of knowledge presented by Thomas Hobbes in Leviathan. By examining the evolution of antifascist ideology, Gottfried contends that promoting a fear of fascism today serves the interests of those in positions of power, who seek to bully and isolate political opponents.
