The dark clouds of fascism are gathering once again. 70 years on from the horrors of the Holocaust, across the world fascist and far right forces are at their strongest level since the 1930s.
Fascist parties are riding high in the polls, and even winning elections. We have also seen glimpses of far right street movements beginning to grow.
This pamphlet argues it’s not too late to stop them. We can beat them back — but it requires an understanding of the threat we face, and the tactics needed to build the strongest possible anti-fascism movement.
Every anti-fascist needs to be armed with the politics, history and strategy needed to halt the rise of the far right. This pamphlet aims to help with that project through an analysis of what fascism is, understanding the lessons of the past and discussing how we can best fight fascism today.
