Lectures on Fascism"This work consists of lectures which the eminent Italian and world Communist leader, Togliatti, gave to workers from Italy who, in 1935, were attending a Party school in Moscow. The Lectures clearly delineate the class nature of fascism and the ideological and organizational tools it uses to fashion its mass social base. Togliatti makes a profound analysis of the character of this base, the special problems it posed for the democratic and communist forces in Italy, and he suggests the methods for political work under the difficult circumstances of fascist rule. First issued in Italy in 1970, Lectures on Fascisr?i has since been published in France, the USSR, and the German Democratic Republic. This is the first English language edition -a Marxist classic whose style and content lends itself to study and creative application to today's events." --Descripción del editor. |
