Four: Five Historical Lessons for Anti-Fascists
This chapter draws on five key lessons that the anti-fascist movement must learn in order to become more effective. They are:
- Fascist revolutions have never succeeded. Fascists gained power legally
- To varying degrees, many interwar anti-fascist leaders and theorists assumed that fascism was simply a variant of traditional counterrevolution politics. They did not take it seriously enough until it was too late.
- For ideological and organizational reasons, socialist and communist leadership was often slower to assess the threat of fascism, and slower to advocate militant anti-fascist responses, than their parties rank-and-file membership.
- Fascism steals from left ideology, strategy, imagery and culture.
- It doesn't take many fascists to make fascism.
