Description
Fascism: History and Theory by Dave Renton provides a comprehensive survey of the history of fascism in Europe from its pre-war origins to the present day. Renton examines Marxist responses to fascism, including the writings of Trotsky and Gramsci, and contemporary theorists. The author theorises that fascism was driven by the complex interplay between reactionary ambitions and the mass character of its support. This approach offers a nuanced understanding of the phenomenon, which is essential for resisting those who seek to re-enact fascist ideologies. reworked and revised for the twentieth anniversary of its first publication, this book synthesises Marxist theory on fascism and updates it for our own times, providing valuable insights into the current state of far-right movements.
