Fascism and Anti-Fascism Donald Polt

The horrors of fascism were not the first of their kind, nor were they the last. Nor were they the worst, no matter what anyone says(1). These horrors were no worse than "normal" massacres due to wars, famines, etc. For the proletarians, it was a more systematic version of the terrors experienced in 1832, 1848, 1871, 1919 .... However, fascism occupies a special place in the spectacle of horrors. This time around, indeed, some capitalists and a good part of the political class were repressed, along with the leadership as well as the rank-and-file of the official working class organisations.
