Description

Please enjoy this PSMLS reading of L. Magyar's 1934 article "What is Fascism?" published in that year's April edition of "The Communist," the former theoretical organ of the CPUSA, and the current theoretical organ of the PCUSA. This article provides interesting insight into the perspective of the Communist International during the period of "class against class," ahead of the later "united front" period. It articulately explains the rise of fascism in Europe, as well as how German fascism was to be used as a battering ram for an invasion of the Soviet Union. We hope you learn something new!
