Fascism, class politics, and revolutionary strategy

Leon Trotsky’s account frames fascism through the conflicts among capitalists, workers, and the political parties claiming to represent workers. Its central argument links fascism’s rise in certain countries to social democratic and Stalinist parties preventing workers and their allies from using revolutionary conditions to remove capitalist power. The emphasis is therefore on political responsibility and strategy: how choices by mass parties shape the possibilities available to workers during a crisis. The book offers a focused, explicitly Marxist interpretation of fascism rather than a broad survey of the ideology or its history.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers studying Marxist interpretations of fascism and political ideology
  • Readers interested in debates about workers’ movements, social democracy, and Stalinism
