THOUGH written almost a century ago, Fighting Fascism: How to Struggle and How to Win by Clara Zetkin (Haymarket Books), her seminal 1923 report and resolution to the Communist International, couldn’t be more timely.
The political discipline of Zetkin’s Marxist analysis strips fascism of its pretences, exposing its manipulative deceptions and political dishonesty. She identifies fascism as “an asylum for all the politically homeless, the socially uprooted, the destitute and disillusioned” and as an international phenomenon requiring a corresponding resistance if it is to be defeated. A must-read.
