Description
The Faces of Janus: Marxism and Fascism in the Twentieth Century A. James Gregor challenges the conventional distinction between fascist and communist regimes, arguing that the ideology of Marxism-Leninism devolved into fascism. This insightful book explores the evolution of Marxist theory from the 1920s to the 1990s, tracing the emergence of fascist phenomena in post-Communist Russia and the first standard Marxist interpretation of Mussolini's fascism in the early 1920s. By examining primary source materials in Italian, German, Russian, and Chinese, Gregor reveals the complex relationship between fascism and communism, shedding new light on twentieth-century history and its relevance to present-day politics. A clearer understanding of this relationship offers a sharper lens through which to view the history of Russia, Communist China, and other non-democratic states. This book provides a nuanced analysis of a pivotal period in modern history, one that continues to shape our understanding of politics and ideology today.
